Accessing document categories (type)

It is not yet possible to retrieve citations according to the types. But I will happily add this feature request to my list for the next revision.

Thank you so much. That will be great.

Andrew Lian

In version 0.8.2 of the plugin, which will be uploaded later today, it now is possible to filter for more than one attribute – including the document types.

Hello again and thank you for making the change. Ihave just upgraded the plugin automatically.

Little problem though… I seem to be able to filter on document type, e.g. filter=”type=Book” but all my old filters using TAGs e.g. filter=”tag=Book” no longer work and my entire listing is blank (because I was using tags for everything).

I have tried adding a ‘;’ at the end of the filter statement but to no avail.

Any suggestions welcome.

Andrew

Thank you for the update to 0.8.3 – unfortunately the behaviour remains unchanged. I have removed the caching and also renewed the tokens.

Below is some additional information (including my URL).
Thank – Andrew

I am using PHP 5.3.18 –

Debug messages for each section are as follows:

Book(s) – ### THIS SECTION USES THE TYPE FILTER
Mendeley Plugin: groupby = , sortby = year, sortorder = desc, filter = type=Book
Mendeley Plugin: Unfiltered results count: 36 ()

Research Grants ### THIS SECTION USES THE TAG FILTER

Mendeley Plugin: Unfiltered results count: 36 ()

### NOTHING IS PRINTED

Thanks for the feedback – There actually still was a minor bug introduced into the code by the 0.8.2 update – causing filtering by tags and keywords to fail.
This is now solved in 0.8.4.

Hello I have updated to 0.8.5.

Much better but some problems persist as follows:

(a)Where I have small numbers of items e.g 2 research grants or 5 keynotes, the plugin returns 1 less i.e. 1 and 4 respectively.

(b) Where I have large number of items, e.g. refereed publications, the plugin returns a maximum of 10. It does not matter whether the search is in upper or lower case and it does not matter whether the search term is exact or partial (e.g Refereed_article or refereed). It feels like the plugin is only picking up 10 items.

Hope that helps, but it is almost ok now. I have turned on the debug codes and indicated the search term in the coloured line

Thanks for all your work.

Andrew

I have an idea for (b) – this might be due to removing the limit in the number of results for search queries via the Mendeley API. I reintroduced the limit (and set it to 10.000) in the newest version of the plugin.

Btw: Checking your page I found the following debug printouts:
Searching here for tag=refereed — lowercase – results are the same – only ten results are returned – I think the correct number is 21 – and there will be more to add …
Mendeley Plugin: groupby = , sortby = year, sortorder = desc, filter = tag=refereed
Mendeley Plugin: Unfiltered results count: 20 ()

“Unfiltered results count” means, that the Mendeley API only returned 20 documents – that then are still filtered by the tag.

However, I cannot reproduce (a). Can you please provide me please with the complete request (including formatting and grouping options you are using)?

Hello again.

yes I added the extra information in the printout. I will remove it in due course.

As for (a) please see below.

Thank You!

As for the items which are short of 1 the output is quite consistent (it ran correctly in previous versions)

Tag Research_grants returns 1 but should be 2
Tag Keynote returns 4 but should be 5
Tag Invited returns 4 but should be 5.

For the keynote TAG, here are the listings in Mendeley on the Web. All are Mendeley type “Conference Proceedings”. At the end of this message I have copied the requests – they worked with the older version of the plugin.

I cannot reproduce the “output short of one” for your search parameters here.
However, I have tried to refactor the search / filter code a little bit and introduced a new debug message when the output is aborted due to reaching the maximum number of documents. May be this helps?

OK… thank you!! – I will look (and also experiment further)..

Andrew

At a quick glance, it seems to be back to normal – the correct number of items is now being displayed – so it all looks good. I will keep experimenting and let you know if there is a problem. Please let me say, though, how much I have appreciated your efforts to make this work correctly.

Andrew

It’s happened again.

The number of Research Grants is one less than correct – and is accompanied by an error message:

see below

Mendeley Plugin: groupby = , sortby = year, sortorder = desc, filter = tag=Research_grant

I do not get minus one in other segments. I will turn off the cache and see what happens

Interesting… I turned off caching and the results came out ok. I turned the caching on again and it is still ok… (Caching once a day).
