To display a selective content from the bibtex you should edit the sql query .

i didnt make this function available yet … but it should be easy to do .

I will soon publish a plugin for wordpress that allow user to interact with a database and display results .

Just hope to get some free time ….

Thank’s all for your supports .

Tarek

thanks for providing such a great plug-in. Any chance though to explain the syntax of the bibTex function to non-Perl initiates? I got it to run in Wordpress 2.x from blog entries after installing exec-php, basically by pasting the Perl part of your bib.php template. This works fine as far as it goes but it does not do what I want:

How can I use your function to selectively display content from my bibtex database, e.g. by picking out a particular author or year of publication or key?

Thanks

have you thought about a plugin that does not enter the bibtex data into the database, but just transform bibtex syntax in HTML format?

it would be useful to maintain on a wordpress page the personal list of publications taken directly from the bibtex format. It would be easy to maintain and update.

Cheers, Sergio

Hallo Chaaban,
I had the “open_basedir restriction” – problem, when I would get a message that the upload file path was outside the allowed range.
I found out that one has to replace line number 142 in the bibtex.php (which is: $root = “$pathtofile/plugins/bibtex”;) with the following:
$root = ABSPATH . ‘wp-content/plugins/bibtex’;
This will fix the open_basedir problem.

Regards and thanks for a VERY handy plugin!

Hello,

Johnny.

Dear Sir!

Where can I report a possible bug belonging to standard bibliography style files? I might have found one but the email adress given in the documentation (PATASHNIK@SCORE.STANFORD.EDU) seems to be not valid anymore.

The possible bug I am speaking of can be found within abbrv.bst but it might be found in other (standard) bst-files too:

In most of the defined citation-types (e.g. masthersthesis, phdthesis, and most of the others too) the TITLE is outputted in lower case except the first letter.

I found out, that replacing (all) the lines
“format.title “title” output.check” with
“format.btitle “title” output.check” might be the solution.

But I don’t know if this is a “dirty” trick or the “clean” solution. Last but not least it is forbidden to change this style files, as far as I understand the terms of use.

By the way this seems to be a very common error (at least, I think this is an error) that occurs in other style files too (e.g. EMCSR2006). So I would prefer to communicate this bug to people who are working on the standard bibliography files.

Please, inform me what you think about this issue!

With kind regards,
Reinhard Pitsch
