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.

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
