Hi, I'm having difficulty getting the filter option to work.

Jan Rivers 8 years ago updated by Christian Fritz 8 years ago 3

I've got this syntax for date but can't seem to make it work. I actually want to filter by a constant field with a code correlated to our local classification of collections. http://bibbase.org/show?bib=http%3A%2F%2Fbibbase.org%2Fzotero%2FJANRIV&jsonp=1&nocache=1&filter:date=2014 This syntax gives output sorted by date but including all years.

Answer

The syntax is different (filter=field:value, rather than filter:field=value) and the field "date" does not exist. You probably meant year, right?

Try this:

http://bibbase.org/show?bib=http%3A%2F%2Fbibbase.org%2Fzotero%2FJANRIV&jsonp=1&nocache=1&filter=year:2014

Parser issue if the key contain ampersand

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

We have a bib database file with contains items with ampersand & in the item keys however since bibbase switched to the new parser bibbase no longer render the entries correctly.


The following file can be used to illustrate the issue: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/overturetool/overturetool.github.io/4dc3b48401a19f22e819296af3a5451a27d04f27/publications/overtureweb.bib


the entries that fail looks like:


@incollection{Name&13,

  KEY       = "Name13",
  year		={2013},
  ...
}

I added an issue + pull request to the parser on github: https://github.com/chfritz/meteor-bibtex/issues/3


Furthermore. The warnings icon only show at random. Usually entries that fail to parse are listed last like:


undefined (25)

. Technical Report .
bibtex 1 download
. In .
bibtex 1 download

ok, I've cleared the cache manually. It probably refused to update the cache because the bibtex file hadn't changed (just the parsing of it had). It's working now.

cleaning up simple style

Vaishak 8 years ago updated 8 years ago 2

I really like the simple theme. I wonder how the CSS file can be hacked to basically clean up the simple style in the following manner. Currently, you have


TITLE. AUTHOR. LOCATION/YEAR. paper

TITLE. AUTHOR. LOCATION/YEAR. paper


It would be nicer to have


TITLE.

AUTHOR.

LOC.

paper


(2 line break)


TITLE.

....


So it doesn't require a change to the theme per se, but would need a modification to the CSS file, I'd imagine.

Numbered publication list

Patrick Scherer 8 years ago updated by Christian Fritz 8 years ago 1

Would it be possible to generate a numbered publication list? The numbers are used for the PDF files, which can be accessed by this number. This makes it possible to get insight into a document, even before it is published.

What is "expertise"?

John Wickerson 8 years ago updated by Christian Fritz 8 years ago 1

On my bibbase user page (http://bibbase.org/network/user/HM4cx8dr8GBTH8vxX) there is a section on the left-hand side of the page called "Expertise". It's currently empty. How do I populate it? (Perhaps it's supposed to come from the "keywords" fields of my papers?)

Answer
Christian Fritz 8 years ago

Expertise is akin to what Stack Overflow calls Reputation. It is a score that is given by peers for recognized knowledge in an area. You gain expertise for keywords when other users on BibBase up-vote papers of yours that use those keywords, or up-vote responses of yours to papers that use those keywords.

default.css not being used?

John Wickerson 8 years ago updated by Christian Fritz 8 years ago 1

For some reason, I find that bibbase_icon_text elements (e.g. the text saying "paper" next to each url field) are not being displayed. Yet if I explicitly load the default.css file (using "...&css=http://bibbase.org/css/styles/default.css&...") then the text is correctly shown. Perhaps the default.css file is not actually being used, or is being overridden somehow?

Answer
Christian Fritz 8 years ago

The &css= option primarily indicates that you are providing your own css (and on an embedded page you don't even need to provide the url but can just state &css=1). When you do that, then BibBase will *not* apply the defaults, one of which is hiding the text in favor of the icons. A typical use of css is in fact to do the inverse: hide the icon and show the text.

User page doesn't match embedded page

John Wickerson 8 years ago 0

My bibbase user page (http://bibbase.org/network/user/HM4cx8dr8GBTH8vxX) has different content to my bibbase embedded bibliography (http://johnwickerson.github.io/#pubs). For instance, the latter lists 4 pubs for 2016 while the former lists 5 because one is a duplicate. Can this be fixed so that the two are properly in sync? Perhaps there is a caching issue here...

year 2016 missing

sebastien l 8 years ago updated by Christian Fritz 8 years ago 1

Thanks for your great service.

I have got a small problem with the service :


I am importing a bibliograhy from a mendeley group.

http://bibbase.org/service/mendeley/5c1040db-25e3-36ea-a919-0994a44709e7/group/c4af41cc-7e3c-3fd3-9982-bdb923596eee?msg=embed


or

http://icos-eco.fr/index.php?static5/publi


The bibliography contains 2 papers from 2016, but the bibbase page start only with 2015 paper.


What should I do ?

Answer
Christian Fritz 8 years ago

Hi Sebastien,


2016 seems to be showing up now:





Maybe you only just added these items to your library on Mendeley? Once you do that you need to reload the bibbase page once in order for bibbase to pull the new changes, and then a second time (with a short delay) to see them.

No expansions are working for me

Scott Smith 8 years ago updated by Christian Fritz 8 years ago 3

BibBase is awesome ! I have been using bibtex2html and uploading each time. way more steps - and yours looks much nicer ! But, none of the expansions work. It just moves me back to the top of my page. clearlab.synology.me/CLEAR%20publications.html

Answer
Christian Fritz 8 years ago

Hi Scott,


Glad you like it! Saving scientists some time like this is in fact one of our objectives.


Regarding your issue: It seems that jquery doesn't work on your page even though it is loaded. The $ global seems to be overwritten after jquery loads. This must be due to some of the other libraries you use on your page. I don't know which but you'll need to find it and make sure it doesn't interfere with jquery. A good test is to check that on the developer console you can type $("body") and get something other than null.

Problem with national characters in DBLP

Ondra Lengál 8 years ago updated by Christian Fritz 8 years ago 1

Hi!

I tried using BibBase with DBLP, the intellisense found my name at DBLP, but when trying to go to the link, I got a server error:


http://bibbase.org/dblp/ondrej_lengál?msg=embed


It looks the problem is in the 'á' character, or other national characters (didn't work for more people with national characters like 'á', 'í' in names).
