Extension talk:BibManager

Editing and deleting of entries does not work with MW 1.19.2
The latest version from git (ver. 1 according to what is written on Special:Version page) does not allow to edit and delete entries. When I try to edit an entry (click on edit icon on the Special:BibManagerList page and then pressing Save button) it shows a page with message "No Citation or EntryType provided.". Similar by deleting, it produces a page with message "The dataset "" was not found!". But the citation itself seems to be working normally.--Rarruga (talk) 09:46, 5 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Sorry to hear that. The BibManager is tested only with MW 1.16.x. I will look at the problem as soon as possible. But it may take some time. If you are able to fix it youself, feel free to commit a patch. Osnard (talk) 17:04, 16 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the reply. I would fix the problem by myself if I knew PHP well enough. Unfortunately it is not the case. ;( --Rarruga (talk) 14:47, 28 November 2012 (UTC)


 * The problem is now fixed! A friend of mine has fixed it. He has changed multiple files so I can not described easily what was exactly the problem. If somebody needs I can send an archive with the fixed extension.--Rarruga (talk) 20:07, 30 November 2012 (UTC)


 * I have the same problem with the MW1.19.2 version. Can I geht the archive with the fixed extension. Hjschwarz (talk) 08:23, 7 December 2012 (UTC)


 * So do I. How can I get the archive with the fixed extension? P.swiki (talk)
 * Last weekend, I fixed this problem by myself. It just work now for me! P.swiki (talk)
 * Could you please send me the archive which did work or what I have to change?Hjschwarz (talk) 14:01, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I'd love to receive the fix too so I can add it to the GIT repo. --Osnard (talk) 09:43, 7 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Sorry for delay. My fixed version is in http://molwiki.org/BibManager.tar.gz It also fixes the described below "BibManager overview doubles action instructions" issue. --Rarruga (talk) 14:26, 29 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much. I'm going to review you changes soon and commit them. --Osnard (talk) 12:14, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I just installed BibManager (REL1_26 branch) for the first time and I also stumbled upon this problem. Any estimate on when you will fix this? 2013 is a while ago. --83.162.31.178 10:33, 20 December 2015 (UTC)
 * And so do I. My MediaWiki version is 1.25.2 and BibManager is of version 1.23.0 (e0ddcf7). In case of being relevant: php is of version 5.6.14-0. When I try to delete an entry it shows "The dataset "" was not found!" and when I try to edit an entry it compromises the keyword being already used.

BibManager overview doubles action instructions
On Bibmanager Overview there is far to the right besides the table again the "action" instructions "edit",  "delete", as text and not as a image as in the table. This should be removed. Does anyone have a solution for that problem. Hjschwarz (talk) 08:35, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
 * A solution: on BibMangerPagerList.php chagnes on line 41 and 46 insert - '' - and delete -  wfMsg( 'bm_list_table_edit' ) -  and  - wfMsg( 'bm_list_table_delete' )  -

39     $specialPageQuery = array ( 'bm_bibtexCitation' => $row->bm_bibtexCitation ); 40    $editLink = $wgUser->getSkin->link(   41        SpecialPage::getTitleFor( "BibManagerEdit" ), '',   42         array ( 'class' => 'icon edit', 43        'title' => wfMsg( "bm_list_table_edit" ) ), $specialPageQuery   44     ); 45    $deleteLink = $wgUser->getSkin->link(   46         SpecialPage::getTitleFor( 'BibManagerDelete' ), '',   47         array ( 'class' => 'icon delete', 48        'title' => wfMsg( "bm_list_table_delete" ) ), $specialPageQuery   49     );

and in BibMangerCommon.Css on line 79 replace - text-indent: 9999px;- by -  height: 15px; -

76  #bm_table a.icon { 77      position: relative; 78      width: 16px; 79      height: 15px; /* text-indent: 9999px; */ 80      margin: 3px; 81      background-repeat: no-repeat; 82      display: inline-block; 83   }

Cannot get working
I have imported some references and now I try to cite them in an article. It works so far as hovering with the cursor on a citation shows the reference details. But when ending the article with to display the reference list, a text is displayed at the bottom of the article page saying that "there were no citations found in the article".

MediaWiki version: 1.20.3 PHP version: 5.3.27
