#6 cross-reference papers

[Giovanni Lagorio]

it would be nice to be able to refer a paper from (maybe the note field of) another

[Lorenzo Bettini]

can you expand on this please?
with some examples?

[Giovanni Lagorio]

In bibtex you can do something like this:
@Article{paperA, ... }
@Article{paperB, ..., note={This is an extended version of \cite{paperA}}

It would be nice to be able to do the same thing, which should be rendered as an HTML-link in the webpage, and as a \cite{} in the generated bibtex.

Maybe you could generated bibtex-identifiers using the DB-id (like, paper1, paper85, ...) and handle \cite{paperXXX} in the fields.

[Lorenzo Bettini]

OK, I see.

But probably the most convenient way is to use the paper bibtexkey in \cite (so that if you import a bib file with the correct cites it will be transparently handled by phpbibliography too :)

[Giovanni Lagorio]

You're absolutely right, I completely overlooked the field "bibtex-key".

[Lorenzo Bettini]

additionally, phpbibliography has a procedure in the admin menu to automatically generate (univocally) missing bibtex keys :)
