Sorting publications alphabetically

Jérémy Anquetin 4 years ago updated 4 years ago 2

I am trying to use BibBase to display publications on our institution website. I would like publications sorted by year, as default, but ordered alphabetically by first author name within each year.

Here is you current publication page: https://www.jurassica.ch/fr/Recherche-formation/Publications.html

I am trying to reproduce the same ordering with BibBase. Looking through the support posts I read that it was possible by ordering the bibtex file, but we would like to use Zotero as a source instead. Is there a simple way to achieve this?

Thanks in advance for your help and for the great work with BibBase!

Hi Jérémy,

Thanks for your request. This feature has been on our road map for too long, so I decided to add it right away. You can now add a "sort" option to the bibbase URL, see the updated options section on the help page. So in your case you would just add "&sort=author_short" to the bibbase URL you embedded in your HTML.

Please let me know if you notice any issues with this feature.

order by month

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

Hi

Within a year, how are the articles ordered?

Is there any field that is used or is it just random?

I am using mendeley and javascript

thanks

Hi German,

Sorry for the late response. The articles within each group (e.g., a year), are kept in the order they appear in the source. This is ideal for bibtex where one can manually decide on the order. But for Mendeley this becomes unpredictable in general.

We have just added a new (but highly requested) feature that lets you overcome this. You can now add a "sort" option to the bibbase URL you use. Please see the updated options section on the help page for details. In your case, if your months are all numerical values, then you can add "&sort=month" to your bibbase URL to sort articles within a group in ascending order.

Adding script tag to Angular

Vishal 5 years ago updated by Christian Fritz 5 years ago 2

Hello,


I am using the Angular 8 framework for my website and I am unable to work with the BibBase script tag because most modern frameworks including Angular doesn't run a script tag on the HTML page because of the security risks. Is there any workaround this problem. I am not using any backend.


Thanks,

Vishal

Error retrieving bibtex file.

Yvette 5 years ago updated 5 years ago 2

I am trying to generate a BibBase page from a Zotero group, but I get the following error message:

BibBase: Error retrieving bibtex file.
Request was:

https://api.zotero.org/groups/2327738/items?key=XCsZkByXjwNfD2MKCHPFRxOr&format=bibtex&limit=100
{ 'User-Agent': 'bibbase' }

I saw someone else posted this question 2 years ago, but there were no answers. Anyone have an idea of what went wrong and how to fix it now?

bibBase resizes my web page menu bar in a funny way on small screens

rms3145 5 years ago updated 5 years ago 4

I created a web page with responsive design and the w3 templates... and I got the following error with BibBase...  guessing it is caused by javascript but I don't really know....


Here is my problem: If you compare these two pages on small screens:

https://www.math.upenn.edu/~strain/pubs1.html

https://www.math.upenn.edu/~strain/pubs2.html

the page pubs1 which includes BibBase gets a resized menu bar on small screens that bumps in from the side and the whole page is resized in an unindented way.  the page pubs2.html is exactly the same as the first page except that the BibBase is removed and it doesn't do the unintended resizing on small screens.


Any ideas how to remove the un-intended resizing on small screens? 

Thanks!

Add support for bachelor's theses

Till Hofmann 5 years ago updated 4 years ago 4

We would like to display bachelor's and master's theses on our website. Currently, we can display master's theses with @mastersthesis (Example). However, if we use the same entry type for bachelor's thesis, it's also shown as master's thesis, the type field is ignored.

One way to solve this would be to follow how biblatex displays the @thesis type, i.e., use @thesis for all types of theses and distinguish the different types by looking into the type field:

* If the type field is mathesis, display the thesis like @mastersthesis is currently displayed

* Display type bathesis in the same way, but with the string 'Bachelor's Thesis'

* Display type phdthesis just like @phdthesis is currently displayed.

The "Extra" field displayed

Ioan Muntean 5 years ago updated by Christian Fritz 5 years ago 3

I am happy with your work on BibBase. I use zotero and I embed my page in a wordpress, with acceptable results. I was wondering if I can display another field after the date like notes or information.

Javascript embedding breaks page elements

beam andrew 5 years ago updated 5 years ago 2

When I use the javascript method of embedding on my page, many elements break. For instance, I have a foundation orbit element that scrolls pictures, like this:

https://foundation.zurb.com/sites/docs/orbit.html

but when I embed bibbase using javascript they appear as vertically stacked images. When I use the iframe method, this doesn't happen. 

Any suggestions on how to fix this?
