authors with different numbers of initials do not get merged

Koen 4 years ago updated 4 years ago 2

When I group my publications by author I noticed that my bibtex file is inconsistent in that the same author might be listed with a different set of initials in various places. Although BibBase seems to know how to handle this for spotting author links, it does not do so when I group my publications by author. As I pull my bibtex file together from different (dynamic) sources, rectifying this is beyond my powers. Can you take care of this issue? Thanks. Koen.

Bib file does not render fully when abstracts are included

f s 4 years ago updated 4 years ago 4

I have been using BibBase for a few years and it seems there is a regression where my .bib file no longer renders completely.

Below is an example from https://bibbase.org/show?bib=fsaad.mit.edu%2Fpapers.bib&msg=embed. Only publications from 2018 to 2020 are rendered while the rest have disappeared.

If I remove all the "abstract" entries from the bib file, as in https://bibbase.org/show?bib=fsaad.mit.edu%2Fpublications.bib&msg=embed, it all renders correctly (which I am using for now on my homepage):

Any idea on why the papers do not render if I include "abstracts", and any suggestions on how to fix the issue?  Thanks.

OK, so after a lot of digging and testing with different tools I found that your server requires its requestors to send a 

'Connection': 'keep-alive'

header. Without it, it will drop the connection after some TCP packets manifesting in errors like "ConnectionResetError: [Errno 104] Connection reset by peer". So the abstracts only really matter in so much as they increased the file size beyond that limit.

I've just pushed an update to bibbase.org that makes sure that header is no included in all bibtex file requests and your original URL with the abstracts (papers.bib) is working now.

Thanks a lot for reporting. While most servers don't just hang up on requests, it is possible that some other users have been affected by this issue as well. Much appreciated!

"Group by" menu hiding publications

limoilou renaud 4 years ago updated by Christian Fritz 4 years ago 5

Hi, I experience problems with the "Group by" menu. It keeps hiding the first publications by staying uncollapsed. How can I fix this please ? Thank you. Here's an example - very annoying. I use the JavaScript embedding option for a Mendeley list of publications.

Filtering based on custom field (not author name or year)

Ali Nasseri 4 years ago updated by Christian Fritz 4 years ago 6

I am trying to filter a bibbase generated bibliography based on a "keywords" or "supported" field. This is the custom script I use: 

Specifically, I append something like "filter=support:D3M" or "filter=keywords:D3M". Unfortunately, the filtering does not work and nothing is shown in the final output.

Having trouble with accented characters.

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

I am having a similar problem to some posted, but I can't make the answers work for me. See https://academic.mu.edu/peressini/afp_pubs.php.

Two entries under 2019 pubs come up without accents: "Otavio" and

"Scholler". I've done everything as suggested (best as I can tell). I

suspect it is in my bib file? Thanks for any help.

Enable sorting within a group, when called by webpage user

Dominik K. 4 years ago 0

Hello, a new sorting feature was recently implemented (dec 2019). It's great, but that works only for the initial call of BibBase.

However, when the user selects a feature from the "Group by", there does not seem to be a possibility to do any further sorting. 

It would be nice to be able to add options to the ways groups are displayed, maybe using the same sort feature already implemented. 

In particular, when the user clicks on "group by author" or "group by keyword", the order within each category is neither alphabetical (title or author), nor chronological, which is confusing to the end user (I understand that the order is dictated by the BibTex - we use the one from Zotero, so dont control the order of entries).

Thanks for the good work again!

"Group by" messes up display, and bibtex, abstract links no longer working

Dominik K. 4 years ago updated 4 years ago 2


Hello, I noticed a recent change when using "Group by".

When the page with the papers is first loaded, all is well, as shown below: 

Image 95

But when you click on "Group by"  "year", which should return the exact same thing, the text is shifted a bit. The title of a new paper appears on the same line/row as the link to the previous paper. Also the link to bibtex and abstract are no longer working.

Thanks for the good work!

URL link display

Ioan Muntean 4 years ago updated by Daniel Owens 3 months ago 9

I embedded Bibbase code from a Zotero database in a wordpress page and all works fine, except the url links . The little icon for the link, a square with an arrow up shows up, but when I click on it in wordpress does not open the link in a frame. Is there any way to instruct bibbase to open the link in a new window? Can we add a extra flag or something similar to the html code to indicate where to open the link? Thanks in advance.

Groupby/menu scrolls my webpage

Jonah 4 years ago 0

Hi,

I am trying to embed my publications through bibbase (using the javascript, bibtex method).

Unfortunately, the use of the href=# part of the groupby/menu buttons is scrolling my page to the top, rendering these unusable. Is there anyway to fix this?

Thanks
