displaying the other fields

[DrWaleedAYousef]

I try, e.g., to display other fields as "language", "volume"; however it does not show up:

${author:36} ${title:40} ${year:4} ${=has-pdf=:1}${=has-note=:1} ${=type=:7} ${volume:4}

This is explained in the documentation. See here.

I had tried all of that before sending you; it does not work. E.g., this is my .emacs:

(setq bibtex-completion-additional-search-fields '(keywords journal language))

(setq bibtex-completion-display-formats '((article . "${language:20} ${=has-pdf=:1} ${year:4} ${author:20} ${title:20} ${volume:20}") (book . "${=has-pdf=:1}${=has-note=:1} ${=type=:3} ${year:4} ${author:36} ${title:} Chapter ${chapter:32}") (t . "${=has-pdf=:1}${=has-note=:1} ${=type=:3} ${year:4} ${author:36} ${title:}")))

and this is a simple .bib

@article{waleed2017thisistitle, author = {Waleed}, journal = {PAMI, IEEE}, language = {CAD Mammography}, title = {This Is the Title}, year = 2017, volume = 17 }

However, the field "language" and "volume" never show up; what shows up is spaces!!

You have to add all fields that you'd like to display to the variable bibtex-completion-additional-search-fields. "volume" is missing in that list.

Oh, it seems that I have to add all fields as you said to be able to display them EVEN IF I did not search! Thanks so much

Yes, helm-bibtex only loads the standard fields and the fields in that variable. It's a bit confusing admittedly.
