  • Followup: RE: Import BibTex

    Do you get the same results for copy/paste as you do from uploading the file? Have you tried importing a smaller BibTeX file? What about files other than BibTeX? Inspect your apache log (if needed, increade the log level first). Have you tried files with other character encodings? Also: some systems don't set the session.save_path appropriately & you might not be able to write to the...

  • Followup: RE: UTF-8 problems

    I have no idea why 'LIKE' in sql_search isn't working for you. Does it not work when you force encoding, as in my second example? The coding of any file that has those replacementpatterns needs to be correct.

  • Followup: RE: UTF-8 problems

    We'd be interested in patches that reflected your changes that would either be includeded in 'contrib' to show other users how to accomplish this or, depending on implementation, to become part of the core product. Character set issues are hard. Your PHP file should use the same character encoding at the database/tables/columns you're searching. You could display the $query string to help...

  • Followup: RE: bibutils problem

    Yes: in general, system-wide installs of bibutils work well. They actually get around some security packages that limit the directories that executables can be installed to. However, (i) many people don't have root access & can't make system-wide installs and (ii) oftentimes, this won't put executables in a safe_mode_exec directory.

  • Followup: RE: bibutils problem

    Also note that there could be other access restrictions in place in your host that may prevent executables from running under the web user or prevent access to some of the directories refbase needs. After you get the problem diagnosed more completely, you may still need to contact your webhosting provider.

  • Followup: RE: bibutils problem

    Which version of bibutils are you running? Have you run other executables on your webhost? Does import work? Are you able to look in your logs and your temp directory for any messages and the exported MODS file and any attempted conversions? By [quote] configure, make and install the program - this seemed to complete with error.[/quote] did you mean "without" error? Note that...

  • Followup: RE: DOI import failures

    That fix is in the SVN branch. refbase development has certainly slowed down, but it has not stopped.

  • Followup: RE: Bug in my database - searches hanging

    Can you revert to an earlier version of the codebase (or even to the stock version)? Happy to look, but I can't guarantee when I'd get to it and, without knowing more, it is difficult to estimate how much time one would need to fix things. But you can contact me offlist if you'd like. --Rick.

  • Followup: RE: Bibtex export: Use journal abbreviation

    It should be relatively straight forward to add support for this on a deployment-wide basis. I'm not sure how likely it will be to add this on a per-refbase user basis anytime soon (though that would seem preferable).
