Hi,

A fantastic module. I would very much like to use this on one of my sites, however, as far as I can tell there is no way of citing in the text (correct me if I am wrong). Essentially I would love to see this turn into a Referencing module so that a book could be created in drupal, articles (etc) can be cited, and a Reference section automatically pulled from the module.

I have not looked at the code so forgive me if this is beyond the scope of the project at the moment.

Have a good christmas,
Nick

Hey Nick,

The module currently can not do what you are asking, however, you are not the first to ask, and I hope to include this in the 5.0 release version. It will be based on some type of key, like a bibkey which is inserted into the text, and when the page is rendered to the browser, this will be replaced with a reference number and the citation will be appended at the end.

This would be easy for a single node, but I haven't looked into the book module yet to see how this would work for an entire book.

Ron.

Hi Ron,

Thanks mate, would be a great feature. I plan to start to get involved with developing modules in the new year (after January), so may depending on how far you get, may take a look at doing this for the books module.

This would indeed be a really nifty feature.

This feature is now available for single nodes, but not for books. Once the filter is activated, and assuming your nodes have bibkeys associated with them, you just put the tag <bib>bibkey</bib> and the tags will be replaced with reference numbers and a reference list will magically be built at the end of the node.

Hi,

Thats fantastic. I have some time off from work in a couple of weeks. Will download the latest code and have a look at applying this to the books module. You will have to bear with me, although I can do PHP, I have not delved in to Drupal modules so will take me a while to get my head into it.

Cheers,
Nick
