When I try to fetch that bib file using curl I get a 406 error:

This seems to be an issue with the hosting provider.


It seems to work when I provide a user-agent, but that shouldn't be required:


> curl -i -H "User-Agent: testing" http://noahsd.com/bootstrap_bibbase_test/nsd.bib
HTTP/1.1 200 OK

...


We can try to add that header into the request bibbase makes, but for now I would recommend keeping the bib file on github.


I think it's a good idea to have that option yes. Like you said, it was easy to do, so we did it right away. You can enable it by add "&fullnames=1" to your bibbase URL.

Just be careful when using this option to have full names for all authors and editors in your bibtex. Otherwise you will get a somewhat unaesthetic mix of abbreviated and non-abbreviated names.

No, unfortunately this is not currently possible. At least not without modifying the bibtex (which I wouldn't recommend).

It is normally formatted quite differently (see, e.g., https://bibbase.org/service/mendeley/7be7f7a6-afaf-3ffc-92cf-b3439435407e). There seems to be some interference between your CSS rules and those used by BibBase. So you may want to debug this by trying from a blank page first, and then adding your CSS back in.


Have you already tried adding a field url_Code in your bibtex? See https://bibbase.org/help.

I haven't been able to reproduce this in Chrome yet, but will try Safari as well.

That would be helpful, yes. What are the symptoms of that? Does the publication list not load at all?

BibBase does not support sorting within groups. You can only group publications and those groups will be sorted. However you can have nested groups if you want. In your case, e.g., you could group by year first, and then by month next:

https://bibbase.org/show?bib=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.zotero.org%2Fusers%2F3649949%2Fcollections%2FE8UNN9WZ%2Fitems%3Fkey%3DbHPKkSJPRkAm4hCOP7l6ghDj%26format%3Dbibtex%26limit%3D100&groupby=year,month


Note however that BibBase sorts months as strings, i.e., lexicographical, not chronological. So this is probably not what you want either.


If you want more control over the order publications appear, then using a bibtex file as source will probably work better for you. In that case you can control the order by the order of appearance in the file.
