Thanks for the great module!

I am trying to export the data to another site, but Bibtex does not export Tertiary Authors, Subsidiary Authors and Corporate Authors. Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks in advance.

An export in "EndNote" format should yield a more complete data set.

I've been meaning to write an XML export format (just for this purpose) that just dumps everything without translating it to an intermediate format, but sadly I haven't done it yet :-(

I forgot to mention that a number of people have had success using the "Node export" module to move biblio data from one installation to another.

Thanks for your suggestions Ron. I have tried to use Node export module to export the data and import into a new site. All of the datas from the biblio type can be imported to the new site but the all of the Authors datas still can't be imported in. I can see the exported data itself that include the Authors data, but it can't be import to the site, do you know the reason?

And i have a question about the filter ( Please check out the images i have attached). When i filtered a author from the authors, it was showing nothing under the filter page, but when i manually clicked the list, the results were there, do you know how to make this working automatically when i click filter. How can i make the results showing in the filter page as well?

Many thanks,
Lan

See http://drupal.org/node/826506#comment-3840518 for a possible solution to your contributor import issue. I thought I had included that in the code, but apparently I did not.

I'm not really following your filter issue. I don't understand

When i filtered a author from the authors, it was showing nothing under the filter page

Are you reffering to the "Authors" page?

Hi Ron. Thanks for your answers.
Sorry for the confusion. I am refering to the Filter page not showing results but offering more and more search refinement. What i have found the result was showing in the list page however i need it show in the filter page.

For example, the image 1 (please check out the image 1 below), i would like to filter Abhayapala, T D in the Author, the result just shows Author is Abhayapala, T D, but no results showed after that.
But what I found the result was showing in the list page other than filter page. (please check out the image 2 below)

Can this be fixed?

Thanks,
Lan

I see what you mean now, but that's not really a bug, but a feature :-)

You can add additional author filters, so it wouldn't really make sense to set the author in the list to the current value when you visit the filter page a second time. Technically speaking, the current filters should be removed from the list so it can't be added a second time, but that's not going to happen.
