Some (large?) files won't work

Maximilian Held 11 year бұрын updated by Christian Fritz 11 year бұрын 2
As mentioned earlier, I sometimes run into problems with (large?) files.

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/maxheld83/give-n... won't work, just give me a "no data" timeout or something.

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/maxheld83/emile/... also produced by BibDesk and hosted on github works just fine.

Grouping and Sorting Entries

Matt Klenk 12 year бұрын updated by Christian Fritz 12 year бұрын 0

I prefer to have my entries displayed by Journal, Conference, and Workshop (http://www.matthewklenk.com/).  This is different than type because Conference and workshop are both @inproceedings.


Is this possible?  If so, are there any examples of this?


Answer
Christian Fritz 12 year бұрын

(for completeness, adding the answer here again)

Yes, this is possible if you have a separate field in your bibtex entries that denote the kind of venue. You can group by any field in your entries.

Journal title does not display

SerengetiT 12 year бұрын updated by Christian Fritz 12 year бұрын 1

I did a new collection with import from mendeley and the bibbase page does not display full citation. Notably, Journal, conference or book title is not displayed or in the generated bibtex file. example;

http://www.bibbase.org/cgi-bin/pyBibBase/pyBibBase.cgi?bib=www.bibbase.org/mendeley/group/3315411&charset=utf-8&groupby=year


Older collections do not have that problem, so not sure if this is a bug or other?

Answer
Christian Fritz 12 year бұрын

Yes, I'm aware of this issue. I believe it only happens for groups, so if you have a collection containing all the same papers then it should work fine. There are some issues with the Mendeley API that I need to work through to fix this.

No Data message

Madhur Behl 11 year бұрын updated by Christian Fritz 11 year бұрын 9
I know there is another thread discussing the same problem but I have tried clearing the cache as suggested. 
The problem is that when I run Bibbase on the .bib file, I keep getting the 'No Data' message. 
Am I missing something obvious ?
The URL to my BibTeX file is http://www.seas.upenn.edu/~mbehl/pubs/pubs.bib
Answer
Christian Fritz 11 year бұрын
When bibbase tries to receive that bib file, it received the following message instead:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<html><head>
<title>419 unused</title>
</head><body>
<h1>unused</h1>
<p>The server encountered an internal error or
misconfiguration and was unable to complete
your request.</p>
<p>Please contact the server administrator,
webmaster@seas.upenn.edu and inform them of the time the error occurred,
and anything you might have done that may have
caused the error.</p>
<p>More information about this error may be available
in the server error log.</p>
</body></html>

I can't quite tell you why at this point. I can manually retrieve your bib file using curl or wget just fine. But it isn't an error that I've ever seen before, so I do suspect that the message is true and that there might be something misconfigured with your web-server. Your admin should check the logs.

Sorry for displaying a more descriptive error message in this case. It just doesn't happen more than once in a blue moon.

Not a bug

lightbox issue

New version of BibBase looks nice! On my page, the abstract popup is behind the lightbox shade: http://www.karliwalti.ch/index.php?id=10


Happens in firefox and chrome. Hints how to fix this?

Answer
Christian Fritz 12 year бұрын

Not really. Do you run bibbase in an iframe?


I can't quite pinpoint it, but if I remove this css file from your page, it works:

Citations are not downloadable through Zotero.

Hugh Paterson III 11 year бұрын updated by Christian Fritz 11 year бұрын 1

Citations are not downloadable through Zotero. Zotero's inbrowser plugin should pick up the texts as CoinS 

Answer
Christian Fritz 11 year бұрын
It sounds like a bug, but I guess this is really a feature request, right? If so, I'm happy to still look into that. Can you point me to some documentation of that CoinS you are mentioning? Is that a special markup of sorts?

with Mendeley

Henri Heintz 11 year бұрын updated by Christian Fritz 4 year бұрын 3

Using the Mendeley My publication is absolutely wonderful, in particular because it is easy to upload your own paper--via mendeley--and then make them accessible on your own page via Bibbase. However, the bibtex file that bibbase generates is not clean.

Here is what I get: http://christophe.heintz.free.fr/publications.htm

1. the biggest problem is that the names of editors are not printed

2. the bibtex info for each publication includes too many completely irrelevant information, such as:  isauthor = {1}, and url_mendeley= ...

3. the last information "url_mendeley" leads bibbase to display a link to Mendeley for each paper ... it would be better not to have this link (which only lead to redundant information).


I have generated myself a bibtex file using Mendeley and it gives something clean with no mistakes (even though it still includes info about where the paper is stored on my own computer):

http://christophe.heintz.free.fr/MyPubli.htm

The problem is that the pdf version stored on Mendeley are not made available any more ! I could not generate a bibtex file that would include

url_pdf_0 = {http://www.mendeley.com/download/public/ --ID of the paper in question---.pdf}


Is it all right to ask here for a fix, or should I rather write to Mendeley?


Thanks a lot.

Christophe

Does problem 1. still exist? Your publications list looks OK right now, except that unicode characters don't seem to render well. You may need to add the utf-8 meta tag to your page.

Problems 2. seems to be a matter of personal preference. It would be hard to tell which mendeley fields are useful to users and which are not.


Problem 3.: you should be able to hide those links using CSS.

Problem in taking the bibtex

Ahmed Ahmedin 11 year бұрын updated by Christian Fritz 11 year бұрын 1
Hi,
I tried to use the bibtex part of the bibbase and after I give the .bib link from dropbox, the website process for a while then I receive an error message from the browser says there is no data. The error happens in all the different browsers I tried

Here is the link for the .bib.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/zf9tj42u128466u/citation...
Please let me know how can I solve this problem
Answer
Christian Fritz 11 year бұрын
The link you provided is not the URL of a bibtex file. It's a regular html page that has a download link. But it's not the .bib itself. Here is what I see when I open the link.



You need to use the download link with BibBase, since that download link is the actual URL of your bibtex file. That's what I did in the following link and it seems to work just fine:

BiBbase interfere with ghost blogging platfrom javascript

Agostini Sylvain 10 year бұрын updated by emcqueeny 8 year бұрын 10
First thanks for bibbase it is a very useful and very "neat" solution to show a publication list.

I am trying to embed my publication list on my website (still in development) using zotero. The website use the ghost blogging platform https://ghost.org . When i use javascript to embed the list, the menu button does not work anymore, I think the javascript or css from bibbase interfere with the ghost one.
Any workaround?

To see the problem http://coralecophy.agoremix.com:2368/publications-list/, the link may move as I am building the site right now.
