Port the Biblio - BibTeX submodule #1

Open Jalori opened 4 years ago

Jalori commented 4 years ago

Hello, I have a compatibility problem with Biblio add-ons, such as Biblio-BibTeX (the others are also noted as incompatible). I can't find out at which level the error can be found. I'm using Backdrop 1.16.2 Thanks for your help. image

I'm also interested in support for Bibtex for an upcoming project. (As far as I know, Bibtex is also a quite common format to exchange bibliographical data.)

@jenlampton The README states the module "reproduces some, but not all, of the functionality of the Drupal Biblio module". Are you open to add missing functionality step by step?

Yes! :)

Yes! :)

Good to know! I'll start with testing the Biblio module.

@Jalori, I guess the reason of the incompability messages are some missing lines in the .info files of the Biblio submodules, see this issue thread. First, I wasn't able to install Biblio with a certain installation method. After changing the .info files, installation went fine, and: there are no incompability messages.

The Backdrop biblio module was re-written specifically for Backdrop using node, taxonomy, and multi-field entities (rather than the custom schema from the Drupal 6 version). The Drupal 7 version was somewhere inbetween. It's likely that some of the old add-ons won't "just work", but we would like them to! I am happy to help provide upgrade paths or backwards-compatibility however is appropriate for the add-on, but since I don't have access to a database or site using the add-ons I'm going to need a lot of help with bug-reports and testing.

I've created an issue specifically for porting submodules. Please see https://github.com/backdrop-contrib/biblio/issues/10 and help weigh in on which ones are most important.
