I read the sentence as two cases:
(2) Either icons are shown, in this case the link description is shown as tool tip,

or (i.e., otherwise)

(1) the link is shown as description on the page.

Ah, now I get it. The problem is, that (1) only holds *if* "theme=default" is used, is that correct? I was not aware of that! So apparently case (1) is equivalent to using "theme=default" and, thus, case (2) is equivalent to *not using* "theme=default". Is that right? That would explain why we disagree(d).

I still think it makes sense to somewhere (maybe even there, but otherwise in the "theme" section of the table) mention this, i.e., that showing this text is only enabled with "theme=default". I believe that *still*, i.e., despite your reformulation of the text, I would not able to find this out. I mean how would I? Your documentation still does not mention this.

I do not see any ellipsis, but I do see exactly the text that you mention. But as argued this is still incorrect, as it still suggests that one sees "the remainder of the filed name as link description", which is, however, only true if "theme=default" is used. This is still not mentioned. Or is it? (I emptied my cache and refreshed, but still can't find that.)

Works now, thank you a lot!

Thank you for fixing this! However, are you sure that you actually uploaded the updated text? The documentation (for me) still shows:

"To add links to any additional content, just add fields to your bibtex file that start with url. The remainder of the field name will be used as link description [...]"

which is still incorrect as it still does not say that this is only the case if "theme=default" is used.

Hi Christian,

I have read all entries here several times and tried around quite a lot. But I still don't get the "merge" as asked for by Jorge.

Could you please respond with a clear-to-follow instruction on what to do?

So let's assume, for the sake of simplicity, there is just one URL where the different basefiles are hosted. Let's call it "my-university.com".

Now we have different sub folders in which our many bib-files reside. E.g.,

my-university.com/user1/articles.bib

my-university.com/user1/conferences.bib

my-university.com/user1/allElse.bib

my-university.com/user2/everything.bib

my-university.com/stuff/dissertations.bib

my-university.com/stuff/variousStuff.bib

User 1, although using 3 different files (he/she might his/her reasons for this!) might want to show all his/her publications merged together. So since that "merge in the URL" (as suggested by Jorge) does not exist, he/she defines a new keyword, saying "user1" in the keyword field.

Now what? Should he/she embed https://bibbase.org/show?bib=my-university.com/user1/keywords/user1&theme=default&fullnames=1&msg=embed ? I tried that, this does not work. But what else is it, then?

Similarly, "the University" wants to list all publications, i.e., the fusion of all 6 bib files. Which URL will "the university" use here? There is not even a shared parent folder. Well, the smallest denominator is my-university.com/, but there is no single bib file in here, so what bib URL will "the University" include? (assuming that all files share some "shared" keyword, although this seems like a lot of effort.)

I guess my problem with all your explanations is that your online documentation clearly says that you are supposed to link to one single .bib file, but in your explanations here is not even one single .bib file in the URL. I think you explained that "my individual calls" to those bib files will cause them to be copied to some central repository by you (which surprised me; I thought you only "reformat" them ad-hoc -- why copying the content to some central server?). However, even if we should use such a "bibbase url", which one? You introduced "http://bibbase.org/all/keyword/**the-keyword**" and ``http://bibbase.org/network/keyword/**the-keyword**" What do they mean? What does "all" stand for? What is "network"? I used both with my files and my keyword, and it sill did not work. (I.e., the page https://bibbase.org/show?bib=https://bibbase.org/all/keyword/**the-keyword**&theme=default&fullnames=1&msg=embed does not list any entries, although I added the respective keyword to the keywords entry and I made sure to open that bib file so that your data base gets updated.)

I want to to emphasize that Steven is right! The manual as it is currently is technically incorrect. It clearly says "To add links to any additional content, just add fields to your
bibtex file that start with url. The remainder of the field name will be used as link description." And -- as you said -- this is incorrect as it *only* is true if you add "theme=default".

So can you please correct (i.e., expand) that explanation in the manual? It would have saved me two hours of research! Just add this explanation and you can save lots of people lots of time... (At least those people who want to exploit that extremely useful feature.)

I have the same problem -- and it cost me about 2 hours of checking untl I figured out the problem! (I.e., until I found out which of my publications was not showing). So I am also interested in having this fixed.

Another reason why that problem appears in practice: Very often one gives a paper to a *workshop* to get additional feedback. Sometimes, depending on the timing, one gets the approved version (but with the same title) accepted at a conference in the same year!

This happened to me. The papers are only sligthly different, but the order of the authors got changed. Yet, only one of them is listed (the workshop, not the conference).

Please fix! :)
