why do I have author links to jshell

Tim Whiteaker 6 years ago updated by Christian Fritz 6 years ago 2

My bib:

https://bibbase.org/show?bib=https%3A%2F%2Fbibbase.org%2Fzotero%2FBLE-IM


There's an author named Harris. BibBase made links to https://fiddle.jshell.net/_display/ for her. I cannot figure out why this would be happening. The jshell link doesn't even point to a useful page (it's 404). 


Maybe it's because I created a JSFiddle playing with the Einstein example a few days ago?  But why link to Harris?

support case insensitive filtering

Tim Whiteaker 6 years ago 0

Using the Einstein example, if I filter by title for "curved" I get no results, but if I use capital C as in "Curved" I get the one result. You can see that in this fiddle. Change "curved" to "Curved" near the end of the script tag and click Run to get a result.

I thought maybe I could do this by supplying "i" in a regex expression, but I couldn't figure out the syntax.

Apply filter term to all fields

Tim Whiteaker 6 years ago 0

I'd like to supply a search string and have BibBase search all fields, like the "q" parameter works in Zotero.  Is that possible?

Suppress link to bibtex

daniel abadi 6 years ago updated by musicEnfanthen 5 years ago 1

Is it possible to suppress the bibtex link for each publication entry? I would rather create my own link for the bibtex that suppresses all the extra fields that I added to make the grouping work the way I wanted in BibBase.

No available links to pdf for zotero

amadieu 6 years ago updated by Adam Rego Johnson 2 years ago 12

Hi

Thanks a lot for Bibbase which is a wonderful handy tool for displaying references. I use zotero and I generated a page for my publications. Everything works fine, except that there are no links to the online pdf of my papers that are available in Zotero. I know that with Mendeley it works, but I did not find out why it is not possible with zotero. here is my bibbase page : https://bibbase.org/show?bib=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.zotero.org%2Fusers%2F4775684%2Fcollections%2FE39GJDNG%2Fitems%3Fkey%3D7h3Yg7Te1gv7hGDrarObACo1%26format%3Dbibtex%26limit%3D100&msg=embed#


How could add the links to the pdf files?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Best,

Franck Amadieu

Embedding - sort by author by default

Katie Martin 6 years ago updated by Christian Fritz 6 years ago 1

Hi all! Is there a way to embed (ideally using an iframe rather than php which is not supported or js which screws up other formatting on my site) and have the list sorted by author by default, rather than by year? 


ETA: I can do it using the &group0=authors method but it groups everything under the category "undefined," which looks sort of odd. Is there an alternative? 

Answer
Christian Fritz 6 years ago

Yes, you can use &group0=author_short. This works independently of the method you chose for embedding.


We really discourage the use of iframes though. Search engines will direct users that search for you paper titles directly to your embedded page (not your homepage), and it is also difficult to get the layout right, without having a scrollbar inside the iframe. JS is currently the best option, and those formatting issues come with an upside, too: once they are fixed, the whole page will be styled with the same CSS rules, and have, e.g., consistent colors and fonts.

Default Folded

Joshua B. Grubbs 6 years ago updated by Elizabeth Preston 4 years ago 8

Is there a way to default the embedded reference list folded? At present, they display unfolded and have to be manually folded, which is very disruptive.

Gateway Timeout

Noah Stephens-Davidowitz 6 years ago updated by Christian Fritz 6 years ago 8

First of all, thanks for making this awesome tool! :)


Unfortunately, I'm unable to get it to work for my bibtex when I host it on my website. In particular, the file http://noahsd.com/bootstrap_bibbase_test/nsd.bib fails to load, and if I let the import function on your website run long enough on this URL, it eventually just gives a 504 gateway timeout. On the other hand, the exact same file loads fine when it's hosted on github: NoahSD123.github.io/nsd.bib , as you can see here: https://bibbase.org/show?bib=NoahSD123.github.io%2Fnsd.bib&msg=embed . When I try to embed the first file in a website, it just hangs, while the second file works fine.


I guess it's possible that this is an issue of server configurations, but I use In Motion hosting, who presumably know what they're doing, and what could be easier than sending a text file? I thought maybe it was because your script was trying to use SSL/TLS, which I don't have, but I managed to find another bib file hosted on a site without SSL/TLS that works fine (http://shelah.logic.at/listb.bib). So, I'm completely stumped...

Some more minor issues with the rendering of bibliographical entries

musicEnfanthen 6 years ago updated 5 years ago 3

This is to point out some more minor bugs with the output when rendering bibliographical entries (in addition to this older issue https://bibbase.userecho.com/communities/1/topics/6-minor-issues-with-the-rendering-of-bibliographical-entries that we didn't want to reopen).


Our bibbase file is here:

https://bibbase.org/show?bib=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.anton-webern.ch%2Fassets%2Fdocuments%2FAWG.bib&authorFirst=1&nocache=1&theme=simple


We recognized the following issues:


1) There seems to be an additional whitespace inside the "bibbase_paper_author" span. When adding a seperator like ":" with CSS ("bibbase_paper_author::after { content: ":"; }"), the result is


>> "NAME, S. :" instead of "NAME, S.:"


Is it possible to move the extra whitespace outside that span?


2) This extra whitespace in 1) also appears with an editor of a collection (@book):


>> NAME, S. , editor .

3) Note another extra whitespace after "editor" in 2) what leads to a strange gap with with multiple editors:


>> NAME1, S1.; and NAME2, S2. , editor s.


Probably this should rather be "editor(s)" like with @incollection?


4) missing seperator and space between series and publisher in @book class:


>> {{TITLE}}. Volume 1 of SeriesPublisher, Location, year.


(Could be something like "Series. Publisher, ...")


5) unnecessary(?) comma between series and volume in @incollection class:


>> {{TITLE}}, volume 1, of Series,


6) Note the different renderings of series/volume and leading seperators in 4) and 5).


Also +1 from our side for the custom citation style feature request. We have only recently started to use bibbase, because it is an amazing tool, but as we were told repeatedly from other academic projects the lack of customizable citation style is one of the main reasons why many people refuse to use bibbase. Or put another way, providing the possibility of customizable citation styles would, from our point of view, drastically increase the number of users even more, which would be fantastic.


Notwithstanding the above, thank you a lot for your excellent work!

Generated by BibBase from Mendeley Misalligned

Jesse 6 years ago updated by Christian Fritz 6 years ago 4

Trying out BibBase for the first time and liking it a lot!
However, importing from Mendeley formatting is not quite right. Is there anyway to have all of this on the same line?

Thanks!
