  • Followup: RE: failed to open stream: Operation timed ou

    Hi Jason, it looks as if the PHP 'fopen()' function is not allowed on your server's account. For further info please see this forum post: https://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=5932543 Let us know if this doesn't help, Matthias.

  • Followup: RE: RIS import: probleme with fistnames

    Hi Daniel, glad to hear it's working for you now. If you keep variable '$shortenGivenNames' set to false, please make sure that you understand the implications for sorting of author/editor names (discussed earlier in this thread). Best regards, Matthias.

  • Followup: RE: RIS import: probleme with fistnames

    HI Daniel, > I just checked again. line 889 reads $shortenGivenNames = false; Well, then it should work... If this isn't the case for you, I'd need you to send me your 'import.inc.php' file as well as the RIS data you're trying to import. Please send them (as a .zip archive) to msteffens -at- refbase -dot- net and I'll try to look into it. Also, did you do any other modifications to...

  • Followup: RE: RIS import: probleme with fistnames

    Hi Daniel, are you sure that you've set ALL occurrences of variable '$shortenGivenNames' in file 'includes/import.inc.php' to false? In order to keep full names when importing RIS files with refbase-0.9.5, line 889 in 'import.inc.php' must be set to: $shortenGivenNames = false; Let us know if you still can't get it working. Matthias.

  • Followup: RE: non-admin users can't edit location field

    Hi jay, > Instead of uploading, we decided to dump all the attachments on > a webserver so they could be accessed independent from refbase. Couldn't you make your attachments directory the refbase upload directory? In other words, adjust variables '$filesBaseDir' and '$filesBaseURL' in file 'initialize/ini.inc.php' so that they point to your current attachments directory. Also...

  • Followup: RE: Bibutils

    Hi Daniel, which version of Bibutils are you using? If you are currently using Bibutils v4.x, please try again using Bibutils v3.4 which you can get here: http://bibutils.refbase.org/ Does that version work better? Also, please check with your ISP that the PHP 'exec()' command is not blocked for your account, and that the active PHP temp/session directory is readable/writable...

  • Followup: RE: Bibutils installation in shared web host

    Hi Sam, sorry you're facing trouble with the Bibutils installation. Personally, I've made good experiences with the Joyent shared web hosting plans. http://www.joyent.com/connector/web-hosting/ They have a good knowledge database and an active user forum. The servers are based on FreeBSD. Though there are no Bibutils binaries for FreeBSD, it should be relatively straightforward to...
