https://api.zotero.org/groups/2327738/items?key=XCsZkByXjwNfD2MKCHPFRxOr&format=bibtex&limit=100

just renders a page that says "Forbidden". So this is not a BibBase error. I assume the key is just not correct. Was this link provided to you by BibBase after you followed the steps to connect to Zotero? Those steps are still working for me.

https://bibbase.org/show?bib=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.zotero.org%2Fgroups%2F168779%2Fitems%3Fkey%3D5NiSjFzfkalrYRc6naCuRmeQ%26format%3Dbibtex%26limit%3D100&msg=embed

If the key is correct then maybe the group you are trying to use is private or similar?

Oh, I see the unintended indentation now. Hm, I assume this is coming from the Bootstrap CSS that is loaded by bibbase.

I found this CSS on that page, and when I remove it, it's fine again:

@media (max-width: 767px) body {
    padding-left: 20px;
    padding-right: 20px;
}

So if you add:

@media (max-width: 767px) body {
     padding-left: 0px !important;
     padding-right: 0px !important;
}

The indentation should go away.

Hm, when I test your pubs1.html page on a small screen, I get a pretty reasonable page layout:

Is that not what you see?

Hi Ioan,

Perhaps I'm still not understanding the question correctly, but if you just want to display links, then yes, that is very easy, at least if you are using a bibtex file as input. As documented in https://bibbase.org/help you can just includes any field with the prefix "url_" and that will show as a link:

   url_Paper =    {mypdfs/gau-hum-1830.pdf},
   url_Link =     {http://timemachine-publishing.com/1830/measurements-of-the-world.html},
   url_Slides =   {talks/gau-hum-1830.ppt}

Is your question perhaps whether the same is possible with Zotero, i.e., whether there is a field in Zotero you can use to add a link to a publication? If so, then the answer is yes, using the "url" field, as seen in this example (bottom): https://bibbase.org/show?bib=https%3A%2F%2Fbibbase.org%2Fzotero%2Fchristianfritz&msg=embed 

If your publication on Zotero already has a PDF or similar associated, then of course that will already show up as well.

Hi Till,

Glad you are using BibBase.

Regarding Bachelor's theses, there is no official bibtex type for that. Since we'd like to remain "in spec" with bibtex as much as possible, I'd be hesitant to change the way BibBase interprets bibtex files, e.g., by introducing new entry types.

Fortunately, I think it won't be necessary in this case. You can easily use the Misc type for what you are trying to accomplish (at least from a display point of view):

@Misc{student01_my_bachel,
  key =       {bs},
  author =    {Mary Student},
  title =     {My Bachelor's thesis},
  howpublished = {Bachelor Thesis},
  month =     11,
  year =      2001,
  note =      {This is my BS thesis},
  annote =    {No BS.}
}

will result in:

My Bachelor's thesis. Student, M. Bachelor Thesis, 11 2001. This is my BS thesis

Of course, if anyone was to download the bibtex entry/file, the type would then still be Misc, but I consider that a feature, not a bug, since it will not trip up latex or any other tool they may want to use that entry in.

Does that work?

Not easily, no. Everything is possible though. You could write some Javascript to find&replace it, or you could reimplement the same menu using your own wording:

First hide the current one, by adding this CSS:

li#groupby_dropdown {
    display: none;
}

Then reimplement it using your own words:

<li class="dropdown open" id="groupby_dropdown">
      <a class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" href="#">
          Group by <b class="caret"></b>
      </a>
      <ul class="dropdown-menu">
        <li class="groupby year"><a href="#" onclick="groupby('year')">
            Year</a></li>
        <li class="groupby author"><a href="#" onclick="groupby('author_short')">
            Author</a></li>
        <li class="groupby type"><a href="#" onclick="groupby('type')">
            Type</a></li>
        <li class="groupby keyword"><a href="#" onclick="groupby('keyword')">
            Keyword</a></li>
        <li class="groupby downloads"><a href="#" onclick="groupby('downloads')">
            Downloads</a></li>
      </ul>
</li>

Alternatively, if you can provide the translation, then we can add it as a language option. We don't yet have the option to change the language but this would be as good a start for it than any.

Yes, in theory you can have a field bibbase_note that you can use to add arbitrary HTML to your publication. For instance in https://bibbase.org/network/publication/fritz-monitoringthegenerationandexecutionofoptimalplans-2009 I use:

  bibbase_note = {<span style="color: green">Best Thesis Runner-Up Award at ICAPS 2010.</span>},

However, that is when using a bibtex file as source. With Zotero your hands are tight a bit more. I don't think you can make Zotero add such a field in its exports, but maybe it's worth trying.

Can you point me to your page, so I can see what fields Zotero is providing? Did you already add the content you want in some field in Zotero?

BibBase uses Bootstrap and I suspect Foundation just doesn't like to coexist with Bootstrap. Their respective CSS definitions probably get into each others way. Sorry, I don't think there is an easy way to resolve this. If you can make your page work with Bootstrap rather than Foundation, then that would probably work. But other UI frameworks seem to play nicely with Bootstrap as well.

That's not currently possible for icons, only for text. As described in the documentation (https://bibbase.org/help) you can append url fields with a description of the type of link, and that text will be used when using text instead of icons (as used, e.g., in the "simple" style, "&theme=simple").

As for arxiv links specifically, you can actually use a link with pdf at the end, e.g., https://arxiv.org/pdf/1801.05644.pdf. Clearly, this may not be the case for all publishers, but I would argue that when it isn't then that's a flaw on the publisher's side.

Note that you might be able to change the icons at will using CSS. For instance, a pair of CSS rules like this may work for you:

a[href*=pdf] { background-image: url(URL to the icon of your choice) }
a[href*=pdf] .bibbase_icon { display: none; }

We'll leave this idea open in case others want to vote it up, but I suspect that the available options might already be sufficient for most users. CSS is a very powerful tool for customizing the appearance of your BibBase publications list.
