Hey! First of all I would like to thank the authors of this wonderful software. Great job! I have set up a refbase unicode-database to keep track of the publications of our chair. I've got a small problem though. Whenever I click one of the download links ("save citation" or "export record") I don't get a download dialogue but the plain code is displayed as text in my browser window. This is obiously not intended but I have no idea how to solve the problem. It doesn't seem to be a browser issue as it works the way it is supposed to with the refbase demo database on the website for example. Any ideas? Also I would like to integrate records into the existing homepage dynamically while having full control over the appearance. I'm thinking about using the include() function with a certain refbase-file and then calling something like: $pubs = get_records_array(author=some_author&keywords=journal&without=dups&submit=Cite); A function using the same syntax as show.php which returns a two-dimensional array with all publications matching the filter rules and all its fields in the database, so $pubs[2][year] would return the year of the third publication matching the criteria. Also a function like $citation = get_citation(24,'APA'); would be useful. It should return a HTML-formatted string citing record number 24 using the APA-style. I've looked through some of the code of refbase but my PHP skills don't seem to be sufficient to understand all of it. Are functions like this already implemented in refbase or, if not, would it be hard to implement them? Thanks!

> Whenever I click one of the download links ("save citation" or "export record") I don't get a download dialogue but the plain code is displayed as text in my browser window. Perhaps the mimetypes file for your browser needs to be edited, as these functions create files with extensions that may be less popular. What happens if you save citations as a PDF vs. following one of the PDF links associated with a file? > Also a function like > > $citation = get_citation(24,'APA'); > > would be useful. It should return a HTML-formatted string citing record number 24 using the APA-style. We do not really have that bit of syntactic sugar, but you can make a call to show.php using, e.g. the 'client' and 'wrapResults' paramaters to remove extraneous formatting. --Rick |

When I click save citations as a PDF I will get plain PDF code displayed in my browser window. Something like: %PDF-1.3 %âãÏÓ 1 0 obj << /Type /Catalog /Outlines 2 0 R /Pages 3 0 R /OpenAction 10 0 R >> endobj 2 0 obj << Also, as I said, if I click the same links on the refbase demo database that is linked on the refbase website everything works fine. So it seems to be a problem with my installation/server. >> Also a function like >> >> $citation = get_citation(24,'APA'); >> >> would be useful.

I'll try playing around with the show.php a bit. Should work out with some fiddling I guess.

Glad that you fixed your issue. Yes, tagging is planned (though development is slow). More flexible date fields have been discussed. Shooting from the hip, I'd say that free-form date entry with a clever parser (a'la Zotero) might be the way to go eventually. I don't know how likely a forthcoming checkbox is. I place "in press" in the volume field where applicable. It seems that, when implemented, tagging would be another good solution to this. Regards, Rick |
