Bibsonomy not working

palpusospam 4 years ago updated by Christian Fritz 4 years ago 5

Hi there,

I'm trying to create the bibbase html code but searching authors in the "bibsonomy" box doesn't do anything. Pressing enter performs no action. The other methods do work. I've tried in different browsers. Is there a bug on this?

Best,

Paul.

Including Automatic Download Counts

Derek 4 years ago updated 4 years ago 6

Hi and thanks for this awesome resource!

I'm using the Javascript embedding method to include my publications, pulled directly from dblp's database (so, not using my own bibtex file). I can't figure out how to enable (supposedly automatic) "Download Count".


For example, as listed for some of the publications on this link: https://bibbase.org/show?bib=http://www.cs.toronto.edu/~fritz/publications/list.bib&theme=default


When I dig into the "bibbase" JS object, it seems like the "downloads" property for each of my publications (in the data member variable) is populated as "0". Not sure if this is a backend problem (i.e., DBLP doesn't provide this info in the bib info that BibBase pulls from them) or just a CSS/etc. setting for how I'm using the JS embedding option.

FWIW, I set .bibbase_stats_paper { display: inline; } but doubt that's the problem... couldn't find any other documentation about this feature.

Thanks for your time and help.

Javascript code does not work with XHTML

palpurospam 4 years ago updated 4 years ago 2
Thanks for the package.

Adding the suggested javascript code does not work with xhtml. I get an "XML Parsing Error: not well-formed" message.

Any idea how to fix?

can't log in

beesonpublic 4 years ago updated by Christian Fritz 4 years ago 1

I have been a Bibbase use since 2014 but today I can't log in.  It says my email is not 

recognized.   I should be either beesonpublic@gmail.com  or profbeeson@gmail.com but 

neither works.  (I think I used beesonpublic@gmail.com but it might be the other one.) 

My name is Michael Beeson.   I definitely had an account and I definitely use BibBase on my website.

embed loads slow and overrides prevailing CSS

Joel 4 years ago updated 4 years ago 2

I am encountering some issues with embedding my bibliography. Please see: https://www.theglobalmontessorinetwork.org/history-bibliography

The page takes approx. 12 seconds to load.

The JS appears to override the site's existing CSS.

Is it possible to optimize the pageload and override the style imposed by the JS?

It would be nice if your charts included 14 averages.

URL and PDF symbols break formatting

thorbjorn t sievert 4 years ago updated by Christian Fritz 4 years ago 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 4 years ago updated by Lauren Grant 4 years ago 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 4 years ago updated by Christian Fritz 4 years ago 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?
