Filtering does not work

Hi,

I need some further details in order to help you:
– what are the versions of WordPress and papercite ?
– what works or not exactly : bibtex, bibcite, bibshow ?
– are there any error message displayed ?

Also, in your short code above there is no file specified – did you give a default at the post or wordpress level? In that case, what are the specified values ?

Hi Benjamin,
For some strange reason the server that hosts my WP multisite is down today, so I don’t have access to it. Hope that tomorrow I would be able to access it.

What I know for sure is:
1) WP version: 3.8.1 (Latest)
papercite version: 0.5.11 (Latest)
2) bibtex is working fine. I have not used, until now bibcite or bibshow
3) No profound errors are displayed.
4) I provided the name of the bib file, at the papercite options. I use the same file for both sites, which I placed in the papercite-data directory. (this worked until the previous version of papercite).
5) The database reads the records (the right number of papers are displayed in the at the papercite options). This was expected, since bibtex is working as it should be.

If you need more details, I will come back to you as soon I can gain access to my WP installation.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,

could you also send me the short code that works (bibtex) and that does not (bib filter) along with the bibtex file so I can try to reproduce the problem?

thanks

Thanks Benjamin,
bibtex short code (working):
[bibtex file=My_Collection.bib group=year group_order=desc sort=firstauthor order=asc]
bibfilter short code (not working):
[bibfilter group=year group_order=desc sort=firstauthor order=asc allow=article,inproceedings]
bibtex file:
my_collection.zip

This should be fixed in version 0.5.12

Thanks for reporting this.

Hi Benjamin,

Many thanks for the bugfix in version 0.5.12, it works almost perfectly now!

I had issues with special characters (French) with the bibfilter command, I changed line 922 of papercite.php to:
$selected_author = ($options["author"] = utf8_decode($_POST["papercite_author"]));
It works for me now, I don’t know if it was only related to my configuration…

There is still 1 issue left: neither the bibtex or bibfilter shortcodes work when authors’ last names contain spaces.
Do you have any idea for this?

Best,
Jules
