User page doesn't match embedded page

John Wickerson 9 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 9 years ago updated by Christian Fritz 9 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

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 9 years ago updated by Christian Fritz 9 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

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 9 years ago updated by Christian Fritz 9 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).

bibbase.min.js not loaded through HTTPS

Madhur Behl 11 years ago updated by Nikos Tsantalis 9 years ago 12
I am unable to leverage the full functionality of BiBase for my website. I am using php to integrate BibBase on my publications page at https://fling.seas.upenn.edu/~mbehl/cgi-bin/public...
As you can see, the content is displayed but most of the features (like grouping, show bibtex) are not available. 

I believe the main reason is that the call to the bibase.min.js javascript is blocked.

[blocked] The page at ' https://fling.seas.upenn.edu/~mbehl/cgi-bin/publications.php' was loaded over HTTPS, but ran insecure content from 'http://bibbase.org/js/bibbase.min.js': this content should also be loaded over HTTPS.

I think it is because of this blocking call that I get Uncaught ReferenceError(s)<> that toggleGroup, showBib and groupby are not defined.

The png files which Bibbase uses are also labeled as insecure content but are displayed. However, the js is blocked.

Can bibbase.min.js be provided over https ? or is there another fix available for this ?

I am experiencing this problem both with latest versions of Firefox and Chrome.

All,


Thank you for your patience. We are glad to finally be able to announce HTTPS support!


You can start using it immediately by changing your bibbase URLs to https://.


Please use this thread to report any issues you may observe.


Thank you for using BibBase.

Custom CSS overwritten by default.css

David Harris 10 years ago updated by Prof Chaos 4 years ago 6
I would like to modify the the side theme and use my own custom css. I can load the bibbase into the page using javascript as follows:

src="http://bibbase.org/show?bib=davidtharris.net%2Fassets%2Fharris.bib&jsonp=1&token=746bbacec7fac946fbc13c4da7a53a3c&css=davidtharris.net%2Fassets%2Fcss%2Fbibbase.css"



However the output (viewable at http://davidtharris.net/publications.html) does not appear as expected (the custom css just contains the common.css and side.css files). When I inspect elements in Chrome I find the following styesheets in this order:

davidtharris.net/assets/css/bibbase.css" type="text/css" media="screen">

"http://bibbase.org/css/styles/default.css" type="text/css" media="screen">

"http://bibbase.org/css/styles/common.css" type="text/css" media="screen">

Is there a way to not have the theme css files load or to load the custom css file after the side.css. I would like to add pdf and link icons in place of the text "link" and "paper"
Answer
Christian Fritz 10 years ago
Hi David,

Good catch. The order in which the css links are added to the header were indeed wrong. The one specified with the css parameter should indeed go last. This is fixed now. If you are extending the side theme then just make sure you use that as a theme, so that in your custom css you don't need to overwrite (respecify) too many things. Please let me know if that doesn't work for some reason.

Change "type" display names?

Christopher Rozell 10 years ago updated by Christian Fritz 8 years ago 9
Is there yet a way to change the display of the groupings for the "type"? This is one of the main things preventing me from using bibbase. My default is to display Journal and Conference Papers. The type grouping separates them properly, but it labels them with the bibtex language "article" and "inproceedings". Basically, I just need to change the words that are displayed in the headings. I saw the suggestion of doing this through a new keyword in the bibtex entry. In addition to being time consuming to add, in my tests of this, I can't control the sort order of these keywords. So, my keyword for Journal Papers gets sorted behind (and buried under) my keyword for Conference Papers.
Answer
Christian Fritz 10 years ago
Yes, this can be accomplished using CSS. Just drop the following into the CSS file on your page:

.bibbase_group span {
display: none;
}
#group_article div i:after {
content: " Journal Articles"
} #group_inproceedings div i:after {
content: " Conference Publications"
}
Similarly you would need to set new titles for the other groups (incollection, book, etc.).

format bibbase so it's being indexed by google scholar

SerengetiT 12 years ago updated by Christian Fritz 12 years ago 3

Would be great if the formatting of the entries are compatible with the google bots so it gets indexed by google scholar.

Particularly also for the mendeley databases

Answer
Christian Fritz 12 years ago

This is a great suggestion! Thanks for the pointer. It is indeed a goal of bibbase to do the SEO (search engine optimization) for its users. So features like this rank highly on my to-do list. I'll look into it.


Update (see comments): this is a non-issue. As for Mendeley papers, we have to respect Mendeley's robots.txt just as much as Google does.
