Missing required fields in bibtex export #24

Closed addy90 closed 4 years ago

addy90 commented 4 years ago

I am currently having several warnings in my bibtex exports, for example Warning--empty booktitle when having @inproceedings type.

The problem is not that the booktitle is not set in my case (using chapter reference type), but that it is not exported. Concerning official documentation: http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/biblatex/doc/biblatex.pdf For example see at 2.1.1 @inproceedings type, required fields contains booktitle. In: https://github.com/mkucej/i-librarian-free/blob/master/classes/export/bibtex.php It looks like booktitle is not exported for @inproceedings but only for conference and chapter, but chapter is no bibtex type, but a reference type in items.

This was only an example. I suggest that the existing Bibtex types in I-Librarian are checked against official documentation and the missing fields are included.

I think this is similar to #8 but it is not the same request.

I am not sure but the missing required fields feel more like a bug, missing optional fields or missing types more like an enhancement. At least the available fields (even when optional) from I-Librarian should be exported correctly when exporting bibtex. I did not check all types against each other, but this should be done just to be sure that this example given is not the only mismatch between given information and exported.

Thank you a lot!

Import/export fixes required to include booktitle, institution, school, holder, etc... in some of the Bibtex types.

Thank you a lot, I tried it today and exported all my references again with the new 5.3.0 version. All missing fields are there and I get no more errors when compiling my bibtex file.
