Author links changing on different pages

Bryn Pickering 9 jaar geleden 0

In a similar vein to this topic, I'm having issues with the page that links an author's name to their directory.

The website at the moment has one large bib file here from which it produces the main publications. Each directory entry then has its own filtered list based on 'short-author', e.g. this.

Finally there are also project specific papers, filtered based on a dummy bib field 'project', e.g. this.
This all works perfectly, so several thumbs up for the filtering function!

Now, R.M. Ward is in all those links. Ideally BibBase should see that the longest list with her as an author on each publication is her directory. This works fine until you refresh the page on the project page, at which point her author link becomes that project page, not her directory entry. This link change then permeates across the website until you navigate to e.g. her directory entry and then refresh on that page, at which point the link changes back to her directory entry.

The same problem occurs when I am linked both in my directory and in a project page. Here, I have only one publication so I can see why it would get confused. But, I had previously linked my BibBase account to my directory entry, so thought it would be better anchored. Instead, the 'Homepage' link just changes with whichever is the prevailing location for the directory.

Note: you have to refresh the page once you've navigated to it in order for the link location to change.

The author links are a very good idea, and really helps bring together who is working on which projects etc. etc. but the automatic allocation of the author directory seems a little too volatile at the moment!

Embedded page not showing anymore?

Gianluca Baio 9 jaar geleden bijgewerkt door Christian Fritz 9 jaar geleden 5

Hi all,

I am not sure I'm missing something obvious, but I think I have a problem with my embedded page. If I try opening using the full address:

https://bibbase.org/show?bib=http://www.statistica.it/gianluca/Publications/mypubs.bib&theme=simple&authorFirst=1&group0=year

all seems to work OK. But when I point to the address to which I'm redirecting

www.statistica.it/gianluca/Publications

nothing happens --- the page is just blank. It did work until a few days ago. I don't think there's a mistake in one of the new entries in the bib file --- but I may be mistaken?


Any idea of what might be going on?

Thanks!

Gianluca

In case anyone else has been seeing this problem: this should be resolved now, i.e., PHP embedding should work again as before.

Hi, I'm having difficulty getting the filter option to work.

Jan Rivers 9 jaar geleden bijgewerkt door Christian Fritz 9 jaar geleden 3

I've got this syntax for date but can't seem to make it work. I actually want to filter by a constant field with a code correlated to our local classification of collections. http://bibbase.org/show?bib=http%3A%2F%2Fbibbase.org%2Fzotero%2FJANRIV&jsonp=1&nocache=1&filter:date=2014 This syntax gives output sorted by date but including all years.

Antwoord

The syntax is different (filter=field:value, rather than filter:field=value) and the field "date" does not exist. You probably meant year, right?

Try this:

http://bibbase.org/show?bib=http%3A%2F%2Fbibbase.org%2Fzotero%2FJANRIV&jsonp=1&nocache=1&filter=year:2014

Parser issue if the key contain ampersand

Kenneth 9 jaar geleden bijgewerkt door Christian Fritz 9 jaar geleden 4

We have a bib database file with contains items with ampersand & in the item keys however since bibbase switched to the new parser bibbase no longer render the entries correctly.


The following file can be used to illustrate the issue: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/overturetool/overturetool.github.io/4dc3b48401a19f22e819296af3a5451a27d04f27/publications/overtureweb.bib


the entries that fail looks like:


@incollection{Name&13,

  KEY       = "Name13",
  year		={2013},
  ...
}

I added an issue + pull request to the parser on github: https://github.com/chfritz/meteor-bibtex/issues/3


Furthermore. The warnings icon only show at random. Usually entries that fail to parse are listed last like:


undefined (25)

ok, I've cleared the cache manually. It probably refused to update the cache because the bibtex file hadn't changed (just the parsing of it had). It's working now.

cleaning up simple style

Vaishak 9 jaar geleden bijgewerkt 9 jaar geleden 2

I really like the simple theme. I wonder how the CSS file can be hacked to basically clean up the simple style in the following manner. Currently, you have


TITLE. AUTHOR. LOCATION/YEAR. paper

TITLE. AUTHOR. LOCATION/YEAR. paper


It would be nicer to have


TITLE.

AUTHOR.

LOC.

paper


(2 line break)


TITLE.

....


So it doesn't require a change to the theme per se, but would need a modification to the CSS file, I'd imagine.

Numbered publication list

Patrick Scherer 9 jaar geleden bijgewerkt door Christian Fritz 9 jaar geleden 1

Would it be possible to generate a numbered publication list? The numbers are used for the PDF files, which can be accessed by this number. This makes it possible to get insight into a document, even before it is published.

What is "expertise"?

John Wickerson 9 jaar geleden bijgewerkt door Christian Fritz 9 jaar geleden 1

On my bibbase user page (http://bibbase.org/network/user/HM4cx8dr8GBTH8vxX) there is a section on the left-hand side of the page called "Expertise". It's currently empty. How do I populate it? (Perhaps it's supposed to come from the "keywords" fields of my papers?)

Antwoord
Christian Fritz 9 jaar geleden

Expertise is akin to what Stack Overflow calls Reputation. It is a score that is given by peers for recognized knowledge in an area. You gain expertise for keywords when other users on BibBase up-vote papers of yours that use those keywords, or up-vote responses of yours to papers that use those keywords.

default.css not being used?

John Wickerson 9 jaar geleden bijgewerkt door Christian Fritz 9 jaar geleden 1

For some reason, I find that bibbase_icon_text elements (e.g. the text saying "paper" next to each url field) are not being displayed. Yet if I explicitly load the default.css file (using "...&css=http://bibbase.org/css/styles/default.css&...") then the text is correctly shown. Perhaps the default.css file is not actually being used, or is being overridden somehow?

Antwoord
Christian Fritz 9 jaar geleden

The &css= option primarily indicates that you are providing your own css (and on an embedded page you don't even need to provide the url but can just state &css=1). When you do that, then BibBase will *not* apply the defaults, one of which is hiding the text in favor of the icons. A typical use of css is in fact to do the inverse: hide the icon and show the text.

User page doesn't match embedded page

John Wickerson 9 jaar geleden 0

My bibbase user page (http://bibbase.org/network/user/HM4cx8dr8GBTH8vxX) has different content to my bibbase embedded bibliography (http://johnwickerson.github.io/#pubs). For instance, the latter lists 4 pubs for 2016 while the former lists 5 because one is a duplicate. Can this be fixed so that the two are properly in sync? Perhaps there is a caching issue here...

year 2016 missing

sebastien l 9 jaar geleden bijgewerkt door Christian Fritz 9 jaar geleden 1

Thanks for your great service.

I have got a small problem with the service :


I am importing a bibliograhy from a mendeley group.

http://bibbase.org/service/mendeley/5c1040db-25e3-36ea-a919-0994a44709e7/group/c4af41cc-7e3c-3fd3-9982-bdb923596eee?msg=embed


or

http://icos-eco.fr/index.php?static5/publi


The bibliography contains 2 papers from 2016, but the bibbase page start only with 2015 paper.


What should I do ?

Antwoord
Christian Fritz 9 jaar geleden

Hi Sebastien,


2016 seems to be showing up now:





Maybe you only just added these items to your library on Mendeley? Once you do that you need to reload the bibbase page once in order for bibbase to pull the new changes, and then a second time (with a short delay) to see them.
