This is likely your only issue. By default, this directs some queries to 
http rather than https. Depending on how your server is configured, that 
won't work.

If there is anything useful, feel free to share.  But I suspect it may 
not even be useful if your server isn't listening on port 80 and you're 
sending some queries there.

Re: [refbase-talk] refbase and SSL compatibilty concerns

[Heather B. <hea...@js...>]

Hi Rick,

Thanks for your (and others') quick responses. It's encouraging to hear
that others are not experiencing issues with SSL certs. Your
troubleshooting clarification questions are answered below.

--- "Presumably, you mean for your own server's domain?"
Yes, I meant primarily for our own server's domain and if applicable,
anything that might be hard-coded in the application.

--- "...corrected the  $databaseBaseURL variable in initialize/ini.inc.php
Have you done this?"
Had not yet made this correction. Wanted to check in with the listserv
first, per Matthias' recommendation, to see if there was additional
information to consider/ if there were other known variables affected.

--- Were unable to login to the account.
The error message our colleague got when trying the admin log in with SSL
cert enabled was: "Login Failed! You provided an incorrect email or
password." Colleague reported that they'd never gotten that error msg until
we installed the cert and then were able to log in successfully again once
we removed the cert.

--- "Are you able to increase the logging level and check your logs?"
Yes, our Server Admin pulled them from when we had the cert enabled. Happy
to share. Let me know if you'd like those shared off-thread.

--- "Which version of refbase and have you made any modifications?"
The version of refbase is 0.9.7 and I don't believe any modifications were
made.

Thanks in advance for any further insight you can provide!

The specific domain 'www.refbase.net' only hosts our documentation.
Presumably, you mean for your own server's domain?

We ran on a hybrid configuration with access over both http and https.
Matthias's Institute for Polar Ecology server had been over https. I think
that refbase works reasonably well over https, so am curious if you can
provide more information about the issues that you're having.

As Matthias told you out of the thread, you should make sure you have
corrected the  $databaseBaseURL variable in initialize/ini.inc.php

Have you done this?

What do you mean that the admin "stopped working"?
Were you unable to login to any account at all?
Were you able to login, but unable to access certain admin pages?
Were you able to access those pages, but unable to apply changes?

Do you get an error messag?  If not, how do you know it fails?

Are you able to increase the logging level and check your logs?

Which version of refbase and have you made any modifications?

Hi Heather,

I am using my own debian web server with a free of charge letsencrypt cert.

There are no problems to login as admin.

[refbase-talk] refbase and SSL compatibilty concerns

[Heather B. <hea...@js...>]

 Hello all,

We've enjoyed using refbase for our bibliography but are having trouble
incorporating it with an SSL certificate and hope that you can advise.

Are there any plans to add an SSL cert to http://www.refbase.net/ to make
it HTTPS//www.refbase.net/ ? Has anyone had experience with doing so
successfully?

Asking because when we tried applying an SSL cert to our refbase
bibliography and it caused the admin login to stop working. As soon as we
removed the cert and switched back to HTTP, admins could log in again.

That adding SSL seems to prevent the Admin Login from working correctly is
a critical obstacle.

Thanks in advance for any insights/workarounds you can share!

[refbase-talk] php7 changes

[Thibault M. <thi...@gm...>]

Hi list,

I have upgraded my system to php-7 and I was getting a few php warnings
and errors.  The attached patch (applied to the bleeding-edge branch) is
my first attempt at fixing these.


1 preg_replace_callback
=======================

  The `/e' flag for `preg_replace' has been deprecated
  (<http://php.net/manual/en/function.preg-replace.php>) and should be
  replaced by `preg_replace_callback'.  The attached patch replaces
  occurrences in the code.  An earlier commit fixed one instance
  (<https://sourceforge.net/p/refbase/code/1417/tree//trunk/includes/include.inc.php?diff=58eee4b2a02bb1117c891ee8:1416>
  in `includes/include.inc.php' @@ -2043,7 +2041,13 @@).  A significant
  change in this patch is in the `searchReplaceText' function
  (`includes/include.inc.php') which now accepts `callable'
  replacements.


2 Field information
===================

  The `getMySQLFieldInfo' function has seen some changes in the way it
  manages some of the fields returned by `mysqli_fetch_field_direct':

  r1420
    re-add inadvertently deleted fieldInfoArrays
  r1418
    remove attributes that don't seem to be present in
    mysqli-result::fetch_field_direct and don't seem to be used

  I believe that, while the old `mysql_fetch_field_direct' method was
  returning the fields `not_null', `primary_key', `unique_key',
  `multiple_key', `numeric', `blob', `unsigned', `zerofill', the
  `mysqli_fetch_field_direct' version returns this information via the
  `flags' field
  (<http://php.net/manual/en/mysqli-result.fetch-field-direct.php>,
  <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34989329/convert-mysql-field-flags-to-mysqli>).

  The proposed patch attempts to fix this.


3 mysql wrapper
===============

  This is not included in the attached patch, but I had started to wrap
  all mysql calls in a function that uses mysqli for recent php versions
  and mysql for older version; is this something of interest?  I could
  propose a separate patch for this if it is a desirable feature.
  Please let me know.


Please let me know if there are questions or comments about this
patch.

Thanks,

thibault

Re: [refbase-talk] Raspberry Pi Install

[Richard K. <kar...@gm...>]

It has been a while since I've tested this installation route.
We have advised people to use the svn version of refbase, as it is more
compatible with the current LAMP stacks than the release.
We'd need more detailed logs to help troubleshoot. For expediency, you may
see if the manual installation directions work for you.

[refbase-talk] Raspberry Pi Install

[Thackurdeen, S. <sth...@ny...>]

Dear Folks,

I’ve been trying to install Refbase on a Pi—latest version.

I can sucessfully follow all steps. However, once the dependencies and the software is loaded I’m not able to use the installer to complete the process.

Once I click Install using the automated install the screen goes blank.

Is there someone who can help me with this ? I would like to have an operational server for personal use. Please help.

Thanks
Sean

Re: [refbase-talk] Guided Installation

Hi All,

I'm in need of some installing Refbase on a Raspberry Pi.

I have followed the instructions on the site, using Wheezy 1-31-15. Step 5 cd /var/www, however,  does not work for me. It reads that the directory does not exist.

What do I do ?

Noob,

Re: [refbase-talk] Guided Installation

You would use the SVN version, which has a majority of those issues fixed.
I expect the newer raspbian has few fundamental changes, but please let me

I attached the patch to this email.  It is built on top of revision
r1415 (bleeding edge).  I also sent it to refbase developers, I'm sure
it will make its way to the main code soon.

The changes are mostly cosmetic: I replaced mysql_... functions with
mysqli_... functions.

Re: [refbase-talk] Refbase & Hypothes.is

[Richard K. <kar...@gm...>]

Please use our official support channels so that answers can help others.

Hypothes.is works in my installation just fine. Refbase merely points to a
PDF on your server.  What happens next depends on the mimetype settings of
your server and your own browser. Hypothes.is's support channels are better
suited to tell you what they can/can't support.  The one thing they don't
seem to support is the use of browser extensions that handle the PDFs.  It
works with native http and file urls, though.

Re: [refbase-talk] Making the "related" field publicly viewable

[Richard K. <kar...@gm...>]

This is a user-specific field. As such, it is far from a trivial change.

If you have a single user that writes to this field and want everyone to
see it, a crude hack would be to edit search.php  (lines ~1593-1602,
depending on version).  You would remove the login check and change the
call to buildRelatedRecordsLink to use the numeric id of that single user
rather than the $userID variable of the logged-in individual.  Note this
only effects display, not searching/editing/etc.

Because this is a fairly significant departure, these changes would be
minimally supported & you'd have to re-patch when upgrading.

[refbase-talk] Making the "related" field publicly viewable

[Engel, K. <EN...@Gr...>]

Hello,


I would like to make the "related" field (the ability to link from one record to a related record(s) in the database) viewable by people who are not logged--in other words, publicly viewable.


Right now, the "related" icon and field will only appear if you are logged in (it's part of the area in the complete record that is colored yellow).


Is this possible?  If so, which file would I need to manipulate?


Thank you very much!

Kevin

For sure.

Though I'm not sure of the difference. 

I exported MODS XML in Firefox. It then opened in IE.

I opened Zotero Standalone and imported the selected file. 

It worked in a jiffy.

What would be direct importing?

Re: [refbase-talk] Export Citations

[Thackurdeen, S. <sth...@ny...>]

Hi Rick,

Many thanks for your reply.

I have tried to export in RIS, Endnote, BibTex and ISI.

I am currently on a 64 bit, Windows 7 Professional machine.

I have tried Firefox 37, which allows me to download a 0 byte file.

I am now attempting to use IE 11. First attempts show a page that “cannot be displayed”.

I have experimented with all or subsets of my references to no avail.

Many thanks for your help,

Sean

P.S. I’m not sure how to send a public link of my references.

Have you tried exporting to other formats and/or tried to export a subset of your records? Please give us more information so we can try to reproduce this issue (browser/OS/link to set of references/etc.).

Thanks,

Rick

Good Day!

I am trying to export my references to place in Zotero to take advantage of the add-on capabilities for writing articles.

However, every attempt to export the records from my www.refbase.org<http://www.refbase.org> account leaves me with a 0 byte file, regardless of file format. Only the Save citation tool works. In which case, it is not usable to import into other citation managers.

Please help!

Re: [refbase-talk] Export Citations

[Richard K. <kar...@gm...>]

We'd still like to diagnose what went wrong and address it.  Which fix
worked?  Direct import without exporting or exporting MODS?
