CSS seems to have no effect

Rushi 8 years ago updated by Christian Fritz 8 years ago 1

I am new to CSS coding so this may be a stupid question but I am trying to follow your suggestions on the support forum to change the "type" headings. However, the CSS I wrote seems to have no effect:


https://bibbase.org/show?bib=https://www.dropbox.com/s/epjy4lodj36qfsl/scc.bib?dl=1&group0=type&nocache=1&https://www.dropbox.com/s/nucyj6u35zf0cwj/scc.css?dl=1&filter=keywords:SCC&theme=side#


Could you please let me know why?


THank you!

A CSS really only makes sense when you embed your BibBase listing in your own page. I see that you are embedding it in https://scc.okstate.edu/publications. You need to add the CSS file directly to the head of the HTML of that page, like you are doing with the other CSS files that are already referenced there.

BibBase not updating citations from Zotero on my website

Keith Larson 8 years ago updated by Keith Larson 8 years ago 5

I am not sure why the BibBase entries on my website are not updating, reflexing updates (i.e. new citations) in my Zotero database.


For example, these do not match:


Zotero Group: https://www.zotero.org/groups/arcticcirc/items/collectionKey/H8RHDR58


Webpage with embedded html/javascript: https://www.arcticcirc.net/david-seekell


Using:

<script src="https://bibbase.org/show?bib=https%3A%2F%2Fbibbase.org%2Fzotero%2Fcirc-publications&jsonp=1&filter=authors:Seekell[^a-z]"></script>


Any suggestions?

Why does iframes BibBase css not display properly in Internet Explorer?

Keith Larson 8 years ago updated by Christian Fritz 8 years ago 2

BibBase using iframes looks great in Firefox, Chrome and Safari. It seems that CSS does not display properly in Internet Explorer.


Compare: https://www.arcticcirc.net/janpkarlsson (at bottom of page) in IE and any other browser.


Any suggestions on how to get IE to apply the BibBase CSS properly?

How to filter Zotero for strict results?

Keith Larson 8 years ago updated 8 years ago 2

How can I filter Zotero so that my filter is only strictly filtered? For example, author "Lau" is filtered as Lau* using the below code, but I would like strictly 'Lau'.



Answer
Christian Fritz 8 years ago

The filter value is a regular expression. So "Lau[^a-z]" should work for you.

"Excellent! Next, you can embed this page using one of several options."

Keith Larson 8 years ago updated by Christian Fritz 8 years ago 2

When I embed my Zotero pubs using BibBase into our website (www.arcticcirc.net) using both the java and iframes methods a pretty green box appears above the citations that says "Excellent! Next, you can embed this page using one of several options."


How can this be suppressed? I have already embedded by page, so the message is a bit strange.

Answer
Christian Fritz 8 years ago

There is a suffix on the URL "&msg=embed". Just remove that and the message will no longer show. It should have been removed already when using any of snippets in that message.

Filtering Zotero group library by author (and other options)

Keith Larson 8 years ago updated 8 years ago 3

I have a Zotero group for my research centre. I would like to subset the output from BibBase by researcher on their homepages.


Here is my BibBase URL:


http://bibbase.org/show?bib=https://api.zotero.org/groups/986230/items?key=toLYm4ZmsffGetBPhyaSe8eU%26format=bibtex%26limit=100%26filter%3Dauthor%3AKarlsson


I have tried adding &filter=author:Karlsson


The result is no filter at all. I have also tried filter=year:2017, again with no luck!


What am I doing wrong?

PS: I just discovered BibBase and I am very thankful for your excellent effort!

Answer
Christian Fritz 8 years ago

There were two problem: the field name to filter authors on is `authors` (not author), but also, it can be very tricky to use the right syntax when using zotero, because some of the arguments need to be encoded, so that BibBase doesn't interpreted them but passes them on to Zotero (e.g., format). But others, the ones for BibBase, must not be. In your case you were using an encoded representation of the ampersand, which meant it was forwarded to Zotero, but it needs to be interpreted by BibBase.


This link works:

http://bibbase.org/show?bib=https://api.zotero.org/groups/986230/items?key=toLYm4ZmsffGetBPhyaSe8eU%26format=bibtex%26limit=100&filter=authors:Karlsson

Similarly, to filter by year you would use, e.g.:

http://bibbase.org/show?bib=https://api.zotero.org/groups/986230/items?key=toLYm4ZmsffGetBPhyaSe8eU%26format=bibtex%26limit=100&filter=year:2007

Feature Request: Search local collection (single Bibtex file)

Quinn DuPont 8 years ago updated by Adam Rego Johnson 3 years ago 7

Is there a way to search only local results? For instance, if I have a single bibtext file (or zotero collection) that I have embedded on my website, I would like to be able to search across these results. For very large collections (100-1000) having browse-only functions (by year, by type, etc) is not sufficient.

Incorrect article count

Rushi 8 years ago updated 8 years ago 2

Any idea why the count that appears the "type" heading is wrong but the one that appears after the "year" subheading is correct?

Caching problem `nocache`

Kenneth 8 years ago updated by Christian Fritz 4 years ago 3

I have a cashing problem of some sort. If I use the following bib file then it renders like described in this (http://bibbase.userecho.com/topics/148-parser-issue-if-the-key-contain-ampersand/) previous issue:

http://bibbase.org/show?bib=blog.lausdahl.com/wp-content/uploads/publications/lausdahl.bib&proxy=1&groupby=year

but if I add either `&nocache=1` or `&nocache=0` then it renders correctly. Any idea why this is happening. I assume that `&nocache=1` should be avoided since you probably try to reduce processing by caching the data.
