lightbox issue

SerengetiT 11 years ago updated by Christian Fritz 11 years ago 0

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 11 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 11 years ago updated by Christian Fritz 11 years ago 1

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

Answer

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?

with Mendeley

Henri Heintz 11 years ago updated by Christian Fritz 3 years ago 3

Using the Mendeley My publication is absolutely wonderful, in particular because it is easy to upload your own paper--via mendeley--and then make them accessible on your own page via Bibbase. However, the bibtex file that bibbase generates is not clean.

Here is what I get: http://christophe.heintz.free.fr/publications.htm

1. the biggest problem is that the names of editors are not printed

2. the bibtex info for each publication includes too many completely irrelevant information, such as:  isauthor = {1}, and url_mendeley= ...

3. the last information "url_mendeley" leads bibbase to display a link to Mendeley for each paper ... it would be better not to have this link (which only lead to redundant information).


I have generated myself a bibtex file using Mendeley and it gives something clean with no mistakes (even though it still includes info about where the paper is stored on my own computer):

http://christophe.heintz.free.fr/MyPubli.htm

The problem is that the pdf version stored on Mendeley are not made available any more ! I could not generate a bibtex file that would include

url_pdf_0 = {http://www.mendeley.com/download/public/ --ID of the paper in question---.pdf}


Is it all right to ask here for a fix, or should I rather write to Mendeley?


Thanks a lot.

Christophe

Does problem 1. still exist? Your publications list looks OK right now, except that unicode characters don't seem to render well. You may need to add the utf-8 meta tag to your page.

Problems 2. seems to be a matter of personal preference. It would be hard to tell which mendeley fields are useful to users and which are not.


Problem 3.: you should be able to hide those links using CSS.

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

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.

No Data message (sometimes)?

RJS 11 years ago updated by Christian Fritz 11 years ago 8
Hello, I love bibbase but it has some very interesting behaviour where, at times, it shows "No Data" for my publications using my bib file on the web:

http://www.sethi.org/research/papers/my_papers.bib

This file was working fine for a month and suddenly it's stopped with a "No Data" message. Is there an error in the file, perhaps? I used Mendeley to generate it automatically.

Hi Ricky,

I don't know what the problem was, but I cleared the cache and now it seems to be back to normal. Please verify that it looks OK.

One thing you can try if it happens again is to touch/edit your bib file in order to enforce a cache refresh. But if it happens, please still let me know. Maybe it's indicative of a different problem I'm not aware of. You are the first user to report this problem though.

Embed not working in Chrome. Works in safari/FF

Saad Bhamla 10 years ago updated by Christian Fritz 10 years ago 5
I have incorporated bibbase on our website (https://web.stanford.edu/group/fullergroup/cgi-bin...,
but the bib base does NOT show up in chrome (only in safari and FF).

Is it because of the iframe being embedded with http, but the website is https?

include conference papers

Martin Roth 10 years ago updated 10 years ago 2
it would be great if bibbase could recognize and format conference papers from Zotero correctly. For now, I'm duplicating all entries of my own works and move the conference name into the "proceedings" field, but this is not ideal and I don't think the "In" bibbase uses to mark the publication is really accurate. Just another suggestion.

bibbase is linking to my paper by doi rather than to the pdf in my bibtex file.

Michael Beeson 9 years ago updated by Christian Fritz 9 years ago 4
Why? And how can I prevent it? I want users to get the pdf.

Author links

Benjamin Parrell 9 years ago updated by Christian Fritz 9 years ago 3

Bibbase seems to be automatically generating links for authors who aren't bibbase users (e.g. http://sites.udel.edu/speech-lab/publications/)


Would like to suppress those links if possible.
