Problems to display citations since v3
Hi,
Since bibbase v3, there is an extra comma or dot just before the year in the citations of articles (
see http://pbil.univ-lyon1.fr/members/dray/publications.php for an example). Moreover, the formatting has changed (fot size for journal name and volume, pages, year) but I have probably to correct my css file.
A last bug can be observed at http://pbil.univ-lyon1.fr/members/dray/talks.php : conference name is repated two times (in confname of confname). Perhaps this problem is more related to mendeley than bibbase? In my bibtex file (auto-generated by mendeley), the conference name appears only in 'booktitle' but it seems to appear twice in bibtex file hosted on mendeley.com (in 'series' and 'booktitle' fields).
Thanks for your work
Cheers
Hi Stephane,
Thanks for pointing out the glitch in the new rendering of article entries. This was easy to fix.
The second problem you pointed out, indeed seems to be an issue with the mendeley API. I've put a hack in place that just doesn't show the series entry if it is the same as booktitle. This seems to be a safe assumption and solves the problem for your case.
cheers,
Christian
parsing of url from mendeley does not consider multiple urls
I discovered a subtle issue with the parsing of url that are retrieved through the mendeley api
If there are multiple urls stored with mendeley, bibase is creating a single url by concatenating the urls, rendering them unusable. Example :
http://dx.plos.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0086427%20... for http://www.mendeley.com/c/6115948791/p/14667/garde...
Can I suggest to look for "http://" and either delete all entries after the first or make multiple links? Alternatively, I think mendeley stores them in the url field of bibtex files separated by a space.
Thanks!
Profile issue
I don't know if this is a bug, but the issue is about author name uniqueness (or lack thereof).
There is an issue with obtaining a "token" to link my publications on bibbase with my page. Bibbase has this to say: [http://bibbase.org/network/link]

Linking Your BibBase Page to Your Account
You can "claim" your publications on BibBase by linking your account on bibbase.org to your publications page. To do so, we will provide you with a verification token that you need to add to your bibbase parameters on your web page. This is described in more detail below.

However, the issue is that only one name is found matching mine, and it is not mine. So currently all displayed publications served up by bibbase have a link from my name to an entirely unrelated research group in a different field. How do I get bibbase to identify my name?
I think all of my publications are currently attributed to
http://bradleylab.wustl.edu/publications/
I would be grateful if either (a) my profile was deleted so there is no erroneous attribution, or (b) a new profile be added for my name.
Hiding download count
Is there an option to hide the download counts when using embedded BibBase?
Thank you!
You can do that with CSS. Just put the following into your style definition.
.bibbase_stats_paper { display: none; }
is bibbase down right now?
Better Support for Special Characters
This is a small feature request, but I'd like better support for special LaTeX characters. For example, if I have an author with the last name Pěchouček, I would enter this in the BibTeX file as P\v{e}chou\v{c}ek, which BibBase displays as Pvechouvcek. Ideally it would show as Pěchouček in the main list of publications, but then when I clicked on the BibTex file it would keep it as P\v{e}chou\v{c}ek so that users could properly copy and paste it into there BibTeX file.
Done!
Chris, thanks for your feedback! Please test this and see whether this is now working for you as expected. I've tested with a bibtex entry of Pěchouček and it worked fine, but please let me know if you find issues. I had to switch to a different bibtex parser, but I'm happy about the switch. It's much cleaner, and easier to extend. Special characters are now translated into HTML and should display fine on any browser and locale.

A problem occurred in a Python script. Here is the sequence of function calls leading up to the error, in the order they occurred.
/home/ubuntu/bibbase/cgi-bin/zotero/get.py in ()
153 pickle.dump(data, open(DIR+'keys/'+username, 'w'))
154
=> 155 respond(apiKey, userID, username)

/home/ubuntu/bibbase/cgi-bin/zotero/get.py in respond(apiKey=u'G9gCuD5oY0brNg0RH456LRwM', userID=u'1975743', username=u'IonSense')

<type 'exceptions.KeyError'>: 'collectionKey'
args = ('collectionKey',)
message = 'collectionKey'
Thanks a lot for reporting this problem. It took me some time to investigate what happened and eventually noticed that the Zotero API had silently changed some default. I was able to fix this on bibbase's side. Zotero so far has been very stable with their API and it is strange that they didn't announce the change on the developer list. Maybe it sneaked in by mistake on their part. Hopefully this won't happen again though.
Sorry for the inconvenience and the outage. You should be able to get a new zotero key now and the resulting pages should work. Let me know if they don't.
Again, thanks for reporting.
bibase customization
I am trying to customize bibbase to get the display I want and have a few questions that I can't find addressed in the current documentation or Q&A.
1) Is there any way to change the ordering of the publication type groups? For example, if I want "inproceedings" to display before "articles" when the publications are grouped by type, is there any way for me to set that?
2) Is there any way to remove some options from the "group by" menu? For example, can I remove the option to group by downloads?
3) One of my biggest concerns with moving to bibbase is what I've read about having to load a page twice to get updates. If a researcher has visited my page in the past and comes back a few days later after I have updated, they won't know (and shouldn't be bothered) to load the page twice to see updates. Is there any way to ensure that all visitors to my page are seeing the current copy of my .bib file even if they have visited before?
Thank you-
chris
Indeed, the code has changed. The correct CSS rule is now:
#bibbase_header a[onclick="groupby('downloads')"] { display: none; }Thanks for reporting!
BibBase v3 Released
Over the last few weeks I have implemented a new version of BibBase. I will soon write up all the benefits of the new version, but for now this is just a note that this is what has changed. You will notice a slightly cleaner default look, and hopefully everything else just works as before. If not, please let me know.
