Minor issues with the rendering of bibliographical entries

Gustavo Cevolani 12 years ago updated 10 years ago 3

I've just updated my small site using BibBase, and it's really wonderful.


I just point out some minor bugs with the output here:


http://www.webalice.it/g.cevolani/


1. A comma (,) should be used to separate multiple authors' and editors' names instead of the semi-colon (;); at least this seems to be a nearly universal convention.


2. A part for accented letters, which are handled correctly, other LaTeX commands which may appear in titles or journal names (like "\&" or "\emph" or even "--" in page ranges) are not interpreted (see, e.g., 3rd entry in 2011).


3. If the pages field is missing from the bib entry (for instance because the article is forthoming), a incorrect space is produced in the final entry (see 2nd entry in the site)


4. In some entries, but not in others, the page numbers are preceded by the text "page", which should be "pages" or better nothing, as in other entries (see 1st entry).


5. After the colon before the page range, a space would improve readibility.


Hope this helps.


Thanks,


Gustavo

Hi Gustavo,


I believe all of these issues have been addressed now, except for the first item, which might be a matter of preference -- I think some bibtex styles do use semicolons.

Why did Bibbase start showing a big arrow on WordPress pages?

echitamb 3 weeks ago updated by Christian Fritz 3 weeks ago 1

I'm wondering if anyone can help me with this display problem.  I have been using Bibbase just fine for multiple years through my university wordpress.com service.  But recently, it just started displaying erroneously with all the links not working.  It's now showing a big arrow coming out of a square. 

Here is the webpage:

Publications – Chitambar Quantum Information Group

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks!

Adding Et al. to author list

Stephanie 3 months ago updated 3 months ago 4

Is there anyway to add Et al. instead of listing all authors? I have only been able to add in Et al as an organization name to even get close to how I want it to look. It adds in an & which is not helpful since Et al means and others.

Error: Username already exists. [403]

Hi folks, I tried to "sign-in" using the google login option, but received an "Error: Username already exists. [403]", this doesn't make much sense.  As a result I can't login in to the page.

Hello,

I have Bibbase linked to a Zotero database. I would like to share my database without having to host it on my partner's site. Is it possible for him to create a Bibbase account and associate it with my database?

Otherwise, for it to work, should we use our Bibbase account on their site?

Thank you for your help, Thank you for your help,

Tags not working

annabel driussi 8 months ago updated by Annabel Driussi 4 months ago 4

Hi Christian!
I love BibBase, it works great for my lab's needs! Recently group by > keyword stopped working on https://www.lcneuro.org/publications. You previously helped us with displaying a pdf download link, so I'm wondering if that new modification has prevented our Zotero tags from working, because group by > keyword still works great on https://www.neuroblox.org/publications. What steps should I take to fix this?

BibBase on Google Sites

Gustavo Cevolani 9 months ago updated by Christian Fritz 9 months ago 3

Hi all,

I hope this is not trivial or already answered.

I'm trying to use BibBase on a personal Google Site, embedding the script linking to the publication file on Google Drive in the same folder of the site:

<script src="https://bibbase.org/show?bib=https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jPCxO7IN4JiukP3n9bG-zP6aftcc-yP2/&jsonp=1&theme=mila"></script>

I can't find a way to pass to BibBase a working URL for my publication list file. The best I obtain is the following:

https://sites.google.com/view/gustavocevolani/publications?authuser=0

Same if I use a link to the publication file on Dropbox.

Many thanks in advance for any help in fixing this.

Gustavo

images missing

rhaynes74 11 months ago updated by Christian Fritz 11 months ago 7

Hi folks, first time user.  When I embed into my webpage using the javascript option there is no styling and images present. 

For example the bibbase logo is missing.  And there is no grey background in the rows which indicate each year.  So it looks very very plain.   Is there something I am missing.
