Not a bug

URL and PDF symbols break formatting

thorbjorn t sievert 5 aastat tagasi uuendaja Christian Fritz 5 aastat tagasi 3

Hey,

I really like Bibbase.
One issue I keep encountering is as soon as I add a link, the symbol (no matter which symbol) does not seem to scale properly and breaks the single line layout.
This does not happen with the small text for doi, abstract etc.

See top entry at https://tsievert.com/publications/

Edit: I just added

img.bibbase_icon {
  max-height: 16px !important;
}

to my CSS, but the problems remains.

Dropdown menus not working

Aaron 5 aastat tagasi uuendaja Lauren Grant 5 aastat tagasi 3

I created a bibliography and used the recommended javascript code to embed it in my site. However, the dropdown menus do not work in Chrome or Firefox. I'm not a programmer, but it seems java is not interacting correctly with sitefarm. Two questions (i) is there an easy fix for this?, and (ii) if there is no fix, how do I disable the group by and sort dropdowns?


Here's my site:  https://deloachchair.sf.ucdavis.edu/publications

Thanks.

\href in bibtex not working

Rebecca Willett 5 aastat tagasi uuendaja Christian Fritz 5 aastat tagasi 3

I use href in my bibtex file; for example, 

@unpublished{GTV,
title = {Graph-based regularization for regression problems with alignment and highly-correlated designs},
author = {Y. Li and B. Mark and G. Raskutti and R. Willett and H. Song and D. Neiman},
note = {accepted to SIAM Journal on Mathematics of Data Science, \href{https://arxiv.org/abs/1803.07658}{arXiv:1803.07658}},
year = 2020
}

But the web page generated at https://bibbase.org/show?bib=https%3A%2F%2Fvoices.uchicago.edu%2Fwillett%2Ffiles%2F2020%2F03%2FWillettMerged.bib&msg=embed doesn't display the link properly; rather, it shows

Graph-based regularization for regression problems with alignment and highly-correlated designs. Li, Y.; Mark, B.; Raskutti, G.; Willett, R.; Song, H.; and Neiman, D. 2020. accepted to SIAM Journal on Mathematics of Data Science, \hrefhttps://arxiv.org/abs/1803.07658arXiv:1803.07658

How should I fix this? Should I use something besides href for links to papers?

Thanks for the help!

Yes, BibBase doesn't understand Latex completely, only some of it's commands. Links to papers should be out in a url field (for details see here). For to-be-published papers we recommend using the to-be-correct bibtex entry type, in your case @article, and making the note read "To appear." or similar. Does that work for you?

authors with different numbers of initials do not get merged

Koen 5 aastat tagasi uuendatud 5 aastat tagasi 2

When I group my publications by author I noticed that my bibtex file is inconsistent in that the same author might be listed with a different set of initials in various places. Although BibBase seems to know how to handle this for spotting author links, it does not do so when I group my publications by author. As I pull my bibtex file together from different (dynamic) sources, rectifying this is beyond my powers. Can you take care of this issue? Thanks. Koen.

Bib file does not render fully when abstracts are included

f s 5 aastat tagasi uuendatud 5 aastat tagasi 4

I have been using BibBase for a few years and it seems there is a regression where my .bib file no longer renders completely.

Below is an example from https://bibbase.org/show?bib=fsaad.mit.edu%2Fpapers.bib&msg=embed. Only publications from 2018 to 2020 are rendered while the rest have disappeared.

Image 101

If I remove all the "abstract" entries from the bib file, as in https://bibbase.org/show?bib=fsaad.mit.edu%2Fpublications.bib&msg=embed, it all renders correctly (which I am using for now on my homepage):

Image 100

Any idea on why the papers do not render if I include "abstracts", and any suggestions on how to fix the issue?  Thanks.

OK, so after a lot of digging and testing with different tools I found that your server requires its requestors to send a 

'Connection': 'keep-alive'

header. Without it, it will drop the connection after some TCP packets manifesting in errors like "ConnectionResetError: [Errno 104] Connection reset by peer". So the abstracts only really matter in so much as they increased the file size beyond that limit.

I've just pushed an update to bibbase.org that makes sure that header is no included in all bibtex file requests and your original URL with the abstracts (papers.bib) is working now.

Thanks a lot for reporting. While most servers don't just hang up on requests, it is possible that some other users have been affected by this issue as well. Much appreciated!

"Group by" menu hiding publications

limoilou renaud 5 aastat tagasi uuendaja Christian Fritz 5 aastat tagasi 5

Hi, I experience problems with the "Group by" menu. It keeps hiding the first publications by staying uncollapsed. How can I fix this please ? Thank you. Here's an example - very annoying. I use the JavaScript embedding option for a Mendeley list of publications.

Filtering based on custom field (not author name or year)

Ali Nasseri 5 aastat tagasi uuendaja Christian Fritz 5 aastat tagasi 6

I am trying to filter a bibbase generated bibliography based on a "keywords" or "supported" field. This is the custom script I use: 

Specifically, I append something like "filter=support:D3M" or "filter=keywords:D3M". Unfortunately, the filtering does not work and nothing is shown in the final output.

Having trouble with accented characters.

Tony 5 aastat tagasi uuendaja Christian Fritz 5 aastat tagasi 5

I am having a similar problem to some posted, but I can't make the answers work for me. See https://academic.mu.edu/peressini/afp_pubs.php.

Two entries under 2019 pubs come up without accents: "Otavio" and

"Scholler". I've done everything as suggested (best as I can tell). I

suspect it is in my bib file? Thanks for any help.

Enable sorting within a group, when called by webpage user

Dominik K. 5 aastat tagasi 0

Hello, a new sorting feature was recently implemented (dec 2019). It's great, but that works only for the initial call of BibBase.

However, when the user selects a feature from the "Group by", there does not seem to be a possibility to do any further sorting. 

It would be nice to be able to add options to the ways groups are displayed, maybe using the same sort feature already implemented. 

In particular, when the user clicks on "group by author" or "group by keyword", the order within each category is neither alphabetical (title or author), nor chronological, which is confusing to the end user (I understand that the order is dictated by the BibTex - we use the one from Zotero, so dont control the order of entries).

Thanks for the good work again!

"Group by" messes up display, and bibtex, abstract links no longer working

Dominik K. 5 aastat tagasi uuendatud 5 aastat tagasi 2


Hello, I noticed a recent change when using "Group by".

When the page with the papers is first loaded, all is well, as shown below: 

Image 95

But when you click on "Group by"  "year", which should return the exact same thing, the text is shifted a bit. The title of a new paper appears on the same line/row as the link to the previous paper. Also the link to bibtex and abstract are no longer working.

Thanks for the good work!
