Walter Karlen 10 years ago • updated by Christophe Indevuyst 7 years ago • 4

Hi Christian


Once more, Bibase is refusing to get my library from mendeley:

http://bibbase.org/service/mendeley/6d353feb-efe4-367e-84a2-0815eb9ca878

I get the error :

"error getting documents from mendeley"

and embedded php doesn't display anything


Any idea why ?


Best

Walter

If you write in Spanish and use \'{a} or á, BibBase does not work fine.

Can you point me to a bibtex file with which you are having this problem? This should work. What is the error you are getting?

Thanks.

Some (large?) files won't work

Maximilian Held 11 years ago • updated by Christian Fritz 11 years ago • 2
As mentioned earlier, I sometimes run into problems with (large?) files.

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/maxheld83/give-n... won't work, just give me a "no data" timeout or something.

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/maxheld83/emile/... also produced by BibDesk and hosted on github works just fine.

Grouping and Sorting Entries

Matt Klenk 12 years ago • updated by Christian Fritz 12 years ago • 0

I prefer to have my entries displayed by Journal, Conference, and Workshop (http://www.matthewklenk.com/).  This is different than type because Conference and workshop are both @inproceedings.


Is this possible?  If so, are there any examples of this?


Answer
Christian Fritz 12 years ago

(for completeness, adding the answer here again)

Yes, this is possible if you have a separate field in your bibtex entries that denote the kind of venue. You can group by any field in your entries.

No Data message

Madhur Behl 11 years ago • updated by Christian Fritz 11 years ago • 9
I know there is another thread discussing the same problem but I have tried clearing the cache as suggested. 
The problem is that when I run Bibbase on the .bib file, I keep getting the 'No Data' message. 
Am I missing something obvious ?
The URL to my BibTeX file is http://www.seas.upenn.edu/~mbehl/pubs/pubs.bib
Answer

When bibbase tries to receive that bib file, it received the following message instead:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<html><head>
<title>419 unused</title>
</head><body>
<h1>unused</h1>
<p>The server encountered an internal error or
misconfiguration and was unable to complete
your request.</p>
<p>Please contact the server administrator,
webmaster@seas.upenn.edu and inform them of the time the error occurred,
and anything you might have done that may have
caused the error.</p>
<p>More information about this error may be available
in the server error log.</p>
</body></html>

I can't quite tell you why at this point. I can manually retrieve your bib file using curl or wget just fine. But it isn't an error that I've ever seen before, so I do suspect that the message is true and that there might be something misconfigured with your web-server. Your admin should check the logs.

Sorry for displaying a more descriptive error message in this case. It just doesn't happen more than once in a blue moon.

lightbox issue

New version of BibBase looks nice! On my page, the abstract popup is behind the lightbox shade: http://www.karliwalti.ch/index.php?id=10


Happens in firefox and chrome. Hints how to fix this?

Answer
Christian Fritz 12 years ago

Not really. Do you run bibbase in an iframe?


I can't quite pinpoint it, but if I remove this css file from your page, it works:

Citations are not downloadable through Zotero.

Hugh Paterson III 12 years ago • updated by Christian Fritz 12 years ago • 1

Citations are not downloadable through Zotero. Zotero's inbrowser plugin should pick up the texts as CoinS 

Answer
Christian Fritz 12 years ago
It sounds like a bug, but I guess this is really a feature request, right? If so, I'm happy to still look into that. Can you point me to some documentation of that CoinS you are mentioning? Is that a special markup of sorts?

Problem in taking the bibtex

Ahmed Ahmedin 11 years ago • updated by Christian Fritz 11 years ago • 1
Hi,
I tried to use the bibtex part of the bibbase and after I give the .bib link from dropbox, the website process for a while then I receive an error message from the browser says there is no data. The error happens in all the different browsers I tried

Here is the link for the .bib.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/zf9tj42u128466u/citation...
Please let me know how can I solve this problem
Answer
Christian Fritz 11 years ago
The link you provided is not the URL of a bibtex file. It's a regular html page that has a download link. But it's not the .bib itself. Here is what I see when I open the link.



You need to use the download link with BibBase, since that download link is the actual URL of your bibtex file. That's what I did in the following link and it seems to work just fine:

http://bibbase.org/show?bib=https://dl.dropboxuser...

BiBbase interfere with ghost blogging platfrom javascript

Agostini Sylvain 10 years ago • updated by emcqueeny 8 years ago • 10
First thanks for bibbase it is a very useful and very "neat" solution to show a publication list.

I am trying to embed my publication list on my website (still in development) using zotero. The website use the ghost blogging platform https://ghost.org . When i use javascript to embed the list, the menu button does not work anymore, I think the javascript or css from bibbase interfere with the ghost one.
Any workaround?

To see the problem http://coralecophy.agoremix.com:2368/publications-list/, the link may move as I am building the site right now.
