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

When you say "search" do you perhaps mean filter? If yes, then the answer is yes (see the "filter" option described on the help page in the options section). If no, then I don't understand what you are trying to do, since your visitors can just use the search of their browsers to search within the page.

The count is always the number of direct sub-items, so the counts on the types are the number of year groups appearing within that. By that measure, the counts seem correct. Showing the total count (of the leafs) is not currently supported when using sub-groups.

Hi Kenneth,

Thank you so much for reporting this. It allowed me to discover a bug in our caching logic! When using nocache the cache was bypassed but a new cache entry was created (rather then the old one updated). So probably at one point there was a broken bib file and the page was loaded with nocache, and every since the cache was referring to that.

I've cleared the cache and the page is fine again now. We'll also get that bug fixed right away.

Thanks again!

That sounds like a CSS issue. BibBase doesn't usually do that.

The link you provided gives me a "Page not found", but I found http://pedrovale.bio.ed.ac.uk/publications-0

On that page, it seems that this CSS in main.css is causing the awkward formatting:

.author {border-bottom: 1px solid #E1E1E1;padding: 20px;margin-bottom: 30px;clear: both;background: #f0f0f0;}

One way to fix that is to make your CSS rule more specific. The following seems to work:

:not(.bibbase).author {border-bottom: 1px solid #E1E1E1;padding: 20px;margin-bottom: 30px;clear: both;background: #f0f0f0;}

Could you give us a link to your page so we can see the nature of the conflict, and also share the snippet you use in your page to embed BibBase? Which version of bootstrap are you using? In theory, BibBase detects if bootstrap is already loaded and if so, doesn't load it again. But that check can go wrong when things are loaded in the wrong order.

Yes, that error message seems to be saying the truth. Your Zotero API key doesn't seem to work, because https://bibbase.org/zotero/a_marko doesn't work either. Could re-grant BibBase access to your Zotero account by click "Generate BibBase page from your Zotero "Library", collections, or groups" on the homepage and accepting the defaults?

Anton,

That is still the old URL. You need to use the new one (see my previous post). If you want the green panel, then you need to add &msg=embed to the URL.

Arianna, sorry this fell through the cracks.

No, I'm not aware of a safe way to added notes to your Zotero publications that will show up on your BibBase page (on the web), but not when someone cites you using the same bibtex entry. You can add text in the "Extra" field of your publication on Zotero, and that will show up as a "note" in bibtex. That will show up on your BibBase page, but as far as I know, it will also show in a bibliography generated by latex.
