Encoding a colon in the URL for a filter parameter

Adam Rego Johnson 3 years ago updated by Christian Fritz 3 years ago 3

Hello, I have keywords I am using to categorize my library (a bib file uploaded directly to BibBase), and I have created different URLs to filter the library by keyword for this purpose. Some of these keywords contain colons, i.e., "Data Sources: EIG Tax". The colon seems to be stopping me from doing this for these keywords, however, I can't figure out how to encode the colon into the filter URL parameter. I have tried various combinations of code, e.g., using %3A (https://bibbase.org/show?bib=https://bibbase.org/f/nKAPSyp34A9azBzJd/GCWealthProject.bib&sort=title&filter=keywords:Data%20Sources%3A%20EIG%20Tax), %58, or with "&nbsp" instead of "%20" using &#58, &#x0003A, and &colon. I expected %3A for the colon and %20 for the spaces to work, like it did for the keyword "Estate, Inheritance, and Gift Taxes" (though the comma actually gets converted to a semi-colon by the BibTeX export from Zotero using Better BibTeX, my code using %2C and %20 worked appropriately while using %44 or %2C with &nbsp did not (see https://bibbase.org/show?bib=https://bibbase.org/f/nKAPSyp34A9azBzJd/GCWealthProject.bib&sort=title&filter=keywords:Estate%2C%20Inheritance%2C%20and%20Gift%20Taxes#).

Given the disconnect between the two attempts at creating filtered links, I imagine the problem perhaps is that the colon is treated specially by BibBase given its other uses in the filter URL parameter? Do you have any idea how I can encode this colon properly into my URL parameter?

Thank you!

Adam

Can't load file manager; not all files (large batch) uploaded

Adam Rego Johnson 3 years ago updated by Christian Fritz 3 years ago 4

Hi, I recently upgraded my account to a Professional subscription to take advantage of the increased storage space for hosting all of my bib file's 600+ references with PDFs. I dragged and dropped the files last night into the BibBase file manager and expected them to take a while to upload, but no dice. It went pretty fast for, in a rough count, about 150 files, and still showing more items waiting to be uploaded below, before it stopped completely. I left it overnight with no luck. I now cannot access my file manager, it never loads -- the site has been pretty slow in general since and will often hang, but I can get everything else to load, even my file manager (with about 10 files, mostly .bibs) on my other (personal, non-work) account. I have tried loading my account's file manager from a different browser and different computer with the same results.

My account's username is GCWealthProject, if that is helpful.

I was already not looking forward to potentially deleting 150+ files manually and trying to batch upload again (since it seems duplicate files are not stopped at all, and there is no way to 'delete all' or to create a folder in the file manager that I could have loaded the PDFs into and then deleted if wanted), perhaps by this time selecting files directly instead of dragging and dropping them if that would help at all -- but now I am just concerned that I won't be able to access my file manager at all, along with wondering whether I should have done something different in regards to uploading 600+ files at once. Can you offer any advice or help?

Thank you for all your work!

Adam

BibBase not loading all my citations (personal library, public profile, ~500 citations)

Huong Le 3 years ago updated 3 years ago 5

Hi all,


My use case is very simple: I have a personal library in Zotero (~500 citations) and I want to embed it all on my personal site. Here is what I've tried so far:


(1) Click on the "BibBase page of entire library" to embed the whole library. It gives the error "BibBase: Error retrieving bibtex file.". If I click on "this bibtex file", it shows "The Zotero user you specified could not be found."

(2) Create a collection that contains all my citations in My library (very silly yeah). Embed this collection only in my site. It works, but shows only ~100 citations (I've read somewhere that this was indeed an issue with Zotero, but it was fixed).

For information, I don't belong to any group. My Zotero library is set to public (I just don't share the notes). I see that the API key of Bibbase is correctly added in my Zotero profile. I don't sync attachments to Zotero. My storage doesn't exceed the limit of 300MB by Zotero. 


I want to have my full citation displayed instead of being limited to 100. Could anyone help me with this please?

Thanks very much in advance!

Hi,

Bibbase is adding a number of "undefined" entries equal to the number of entries in the bibliography.  Here's my site:  https://asmith.ucdavis.edu/research  Image of the issue below.

Not all (667/689) citations from Zotero private group library are available

Adam Rego Johnson 3 years ago updated by Christian Fritz 3 years ago 13

Hi, I am attempting to move my organization's BibBase page hosted off Mendeley to one hosted off Zotero using the same library. There are slight discrepancies, resulting in some citations that are in the Zotero private group library to not appear on the BibBase page. I believe I have ensured it is using the correct link path, as I don't think I would be getting anywhere near the full amount of citations if I was not. Here is the link to my page:

https://bibbase.org/show?bib=http%3A%2F%2Fbibbase.org%2Fzotero-group%2FGCWealthProject/4501563&msg=embed#

Please let me know any other information I can give that may be helpful. I am also encountering an issue with PDFs (which are cloud-synced in Zotero storage) not being available, if it is somehow at all related, but I have left a comment about that in another related thread -- this particular problem in this post is more unique, however.

Thanks.

Layout perturbed by the bibbase 'link'

Benjamin 3 years ago updated 3 years ago 2

Hello,

I noticed the 'link' appearing for each entry in my .bib file only a few weeks ago and it seems to have broken the overall layout with unnecessary line breaks, see https://bguedj.github.io/publications/ 

Not sure how to fix this -- I've tried rearranging the different fields in bib entries (eg url, doi, abstract etc) but to no success.

Would appreciate your thoughts on this!

Many thanks,

Benjamin

ps: this is my first post here so I'll take the occasion to thank you for bibbase which is a great tool!

Feature Request (Idea): simplified format for single bibtex entry

Prof Chaos 4 years ago updated 4 years ago 2

You already feature the option "hidemenu", which removes the "left part" of the following illustration, where the grouping can be selected:


Image 130

Would it be much effort to add/implement a second option called "hideyears", which implies hidemenu but on top of that also eliminates all the years? That would be *really* great. :)


The use case is using your service for in-text citations -- rather than using it to show lists of reasonable lengths. I already have many use cases, all of which are primarily motivated by webdesign in a scientific context (rather than the standard use-case of showing lists of publications from an author, institution or event like a conference. I sometimes do want to cite a *single* paper in-text just as a "reference". Having the year-navigation on top (which even is clickable to fold everything in!) is just very odd, it doesn't look good. For this use-case it's just not reasonable.


I hope it will be implemented! :) Maybe that way the tool would be used even more -- in exactly such contexts. :) To give one example, workshops webpages might want to mention a single paper sometimes, or any scientific "report" could use citations in-text where the paper is mentioned. (That's of course already possible, it just looks a bit weird with that navigation if there's just one paper or maybe two.)

This is already supported when just leaving groupby blank:

https://bibbase.org/show?bib=https://bibbase.org/bibs/knuth_selected.bib&groupby=&hidemenu=true

It's recommended to use that with the sort option. See "Customization options" in the documentation for more details.

Error loading references list from Zotero.

pfvale 4 years ago updated by Christian Fritz 4 years ago 3

Hi,

I love Bibbase, especially the latest theme, thanks for all your work on this.

I was hoping you could help with a recent - but increasingly frequent error. Occasionally when I load my publications page (https://pedrovale.bio.ed.ac.uk/publications) I get the following error message:

  • Warning: file_get_contents(): SSL operation failed with code 1. OpenSSL Error messages: error:14090086:SSL routines:ssl3_get_server_certificate:certificate verify failed in eval() (line 1 of /disk/data/www/drupal7/modules/php/php.module(80) : eval()'d code).
  • Warning: file_get_contents(): Failed to enable crypto in eval() (line 1 of /disk/data/www/drupal7/modules/php/php.module(80) : eval()'d code).
  • Warning: file_get_contents(https://bibbase.org/show?bib=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.zotero.org%2Fusers%2F837863%2Fcollections%2FM9VMJBQG%2Fitems%3Fkey%3DII3rucWmEcbdlGBRNINIxNWX%26format%3Dbibtex%26limit%3D100&theme=mila&owner=lastname&hidemenu=true): failed to open stream: operation failed in eval() (line 1 of /disk/data/www/drupal7/modules/php/php.module(80) : eval()'d code).

I've wondered if this is an issue with my Zotero library, but I can't see what the issue might be. I've used Bibbase using the same Zotero library for a few years and it's always worked very well. 

Any help appreciated!

Pedro

unicode problems when embedded

Vladimir Alexiev 4 years ago updated 4 years ago 3

http://rawgit2.com/VladimirAlexiev/my/master/index.html shows unicode problems:

Alexiev, V.; Michon, P.; and Dunn, H. In Wébinaire Wiki, data et GLAM 2021, June 2021. Wikimédia France

If you look at the source, you'll see it uses the recommended embedding method.

The same bib file displayed standalone doesn't have unicode problems:

https://bibbase.org/show?bib=http://rawgit2.com/VladimirAlexiev/my/master/Alexiev-bibliography.bib&theme=side

So it seems to me that adding "jsonp=1" messes up Unicode somehow?
