{{note}} does not work for my #233

Open modernhero666 opened 1 year ago

modernhero666 commented 1 year ago

I put the {{note}} to my template, when I open literature there is nothing


title: {{title}} authors: {{authorString}} year: {{year}}

Notes

{{eprint}} {{abstract}} {{note}}

orionpilot commented 1 year ago

What do you mean by {{note}}? It is unclear what you expect that to be (note from the bibtex entry, literature note you made in obsidian, annotation you made in a pdf that you want to bring into obsidian, etc). Having that information would help solve your issue.

Having said that, the {{note}} attribute picks up the note attribute of the bibtex entry. So if it's empty/does not exist, that's one reason why nothing shows up when you load the literature note.

For example, with this test entry, having {{note}} in the citations plugin template would add the This is a really cool paper to your literature note in obsidian.

@Article{citekey,
   author    = {LastName, FirstName},
   year      = {2023},
   note      = {This is a really cool paper},
   abstract  = {example abstract},
}

In my case the note field is called annote and using {{annote}} does not seem to pick it up. Is there any way this could be included in the template otherwise? I am using citations to import papers from Paperpile, which generates a bibtex in my google drive, so there is nothing I can change in the export side of things.

This is what the entry looks like:

@ARTICLE{Connolly2017-cp,
  title     = "Process, mechanism, and modeling in macroecology",
  author    = "Connolly, Sean R and Keith, Sally A and Colwell, Robert K and
               Rahbek, Carsten",
  journal   = "Trends Ecol. Evol.",
  publisher = "Elsevier Current Trends",
  volume    =  32,
  number    =  11,
  pages     = "835--844",
  abstract  = "Macroecology has traditionally....",
  month     =  "1~" # nov,
  year      =  2017,
  keywords  = "biogeography; macroecology; mechanistic models; model-based
               ecology; process-based models; virtual worlds",
  doi       = "10.1016/j.tree.2017.08.011",
  pmid      =  28919203,
  issn      = "0169-5347,1872-8383",
  language  = "en",
  annote    = "Distinction between process based and correlative
               SDMs.<div><br></div>"
}

@lnilya if you want to pick something out from the bib entry that does not have the handlebars shortcut in the plugin settings, you can access it using {{entry.data.fields.FIELD}}. In your case, that should be {{entry.data.fields.annote}}. See e.g., #100 and my comment here.
