Even though noone seem to bother answering questions here, I choose to add just one more topic:

IBy manual input, I would believe it was possible to use features like the one menationed above. However, that did not work. Is there something I've missed?

Joomla! comes with the great standard feature of the possibility to add Print, Email and Pdf icons on pages. However, I cannot find that BibTex provides me with a choice to use those icons if wanted. Could someone please guide me?

How can i Traslate to spanish joomla bibtext?
sorry for my english
Thank´s

Hi again, I am totally spamming you with all of my questions, aren't I  But it is because I just love this component.

Ok, my questions are:

1) By default the Filter options are an Author field and a Title field. Is it possible to change these? And by that I don't mean just to change the words in table view, but change the exact filter options.

2) Is it possible to remove the Filter options totally? I have menu items for each category I've created, and I am thinking of not having the Filter option in all of them.

Thanks in advance!

Hi

I'm in need of having the following changes to my bibliography output:

1) Add a new field called Band in the "Manually by Fields" input form. Alternatively I guess I could just edit an existing field and name it Band. Is that right?

2) After creating input field Band I want the 1st table column to be Band instead of Author. How do I do that?

3) Then I would like to add an option for the visitor to order by Band in addition to all the existing order options. How do I do that?

4) At last I would like to change the looks of author names in "Reference details" view. By default the author names are shown as Lastname, Firstname. I would like it to show as Firstname Lastname. How do I do that?

Sorry for all my questions, but I am in no position to be able to figure this out on my own. I've read through the threads in this forum, but didn't find anything that answers my questions. Thanks in advance!

I think I must do something wrong. I submit new references Manually. When listed the "Date Asc" and "Date desc" don't seem to work. I must be doing something wrong while adding field information. In "Month" I've tried both writing i.e. November and 11 and 22.11.07 and 11.22.07 - none worked. Then I tried putting dates in "Year", no luck with that either.

What's wrong? Any suggestions? It's kinda crucial that viewers are able to sort by date, and also that sort by date is kept as default. Thanks in advance.

Edit: I'm starting to wonder if "Date asc/desc" actually means "Year asc/desc". If that is the case, I'm in big trouble... Then I will have to ask for any "programming" suggestions to fix so I can create a date field in addition to year field, and sort out of date and not year.

Hi, I just downloaded BibTex and finds it easy to understand and use. However, the lack of [Back]-button makes it not so user friendly as one would expect. I do not want to use target="_blank" and create a pop-up for Reference Details view. I need a [Back]-button. Thanks in advance.

I did this (in jombib.php), and I deleted all my references and re-entered them. And NO change at all. I don't understand why. Do you?

Dear Pete,
I am not Mark, but I can give an answer to your secondo question:
In the file jombib.html.php
you can change the format how you like to print the title:
title without ":

if (HTML_jombib::keyExistsOrIsNotEmpty('title',$row)){
         if($link=="none"){
            echo ", ".$row['title']."";
         }else{
            echo ", <a href='$link' title='View Reference Details'>".$row['title']."</a>";
         }
      }

May be you can write the title also in italic:

if (HTML_jombib::keyExistsOrIsNotEmpty('title',$row)){
         if($link=="none"){
            echo ", <i>".$row['title']."</i>";
         }else{
            echo ", <a href='$link' title='View Reference Details'><i>".$row['title']."</i></a>";
         }
      }
The year with out ( ):

if (HTML_jombib::keyExistsOrIsNotEmpty('year',$row)){
         echo " ".$row['year']."";
      }

I did a copy from my site and I hope it works also on your site.

Hi Mark,

That worked like a charm (although I also added a comma and space after the last names...).--Thanks much!!!

I am probably pushing my luck but was wondering if you could help me accomplish 2 more formatting things:

1) I need the author part of th list view to be a little wider; and
2) I need to replicate another journal style that looks like this:

Rahman, M. M. 1982. A study of tiger population of Nilkamal Sanctuary in the Sundarbans. Bano biggyan patrik 11:36-40.

e.g. no parentheses on the year and no " on the title.

I would be happy to pay you (donation I guess) for helping with these modifications.

Many thanks in advance,
Pete
