inline citation not footnote

Anything is possible...

The best way would be to define a new tag type, maybe [ibib] or something like that. There are basically two functions involved and they're both in the biblio.module file. The biblio_filter function defines the tags and how they are operated on. So near the top of the biblio_filter function, you would have to change it to something like this...

  if ($op == 'list') {
    return array(
    0 => t('Biblio module references &lt;bib&gt; <i>or</i> [bib]'),
    1 => t('Biblio module inline references &lt;ibib&gt; <i>or</i> [ibib]'),
    );
  }

Then a bit further down you would have to make another delta (1) case to match the above new tag (1)

  switch ($delta) {
    // First is the html footnotes filter
    case 0 :
      switch ($op) {
        // This description is shown in the administrative interface, unlike the
        // filter tips which are shown in the content editing interface.
        case 'description' :
          return t('Use <bib>citekey</bib> or [bib]citebkey[/bib]to insert automatically numbered references.');
          // We don't need the "prepare" operation for this filter, but it's required
          // to at least return the input text as-is.
          //TODO: May need to escape <fn> if we use HTML filter too, but Footnotes could be first
        case 'prepare' :
          return $text;
          // The actual filtering is performed here. The supplied text should be
          // returned, once any necessary substitutions have taken place.
        case 'process' :
          $pattern = array('|\[bib](.*?)\[/bib]|s', '|<bib>(.*?)</bib>|s');
          if (variable_get('biblio_footnotes_integration', 0) && module_exists('footnotes')) { // this is used with footnote module integration to replace the <bib> tags with <fn> tags
            $text = preg_replace_callback($pattern, '_biblio_filter_footnote_callback', $text);
            return $text;
          }
          else {
            $text = preg_replace_callback($pattern, '_biblio_filter_replace_callback', $text);
            //Replace tag <footnotes> with the list of footnotes.
            //If tag is not present, by default add the footnotes at the end.
            //Thanks to acp on drupal.org for this idea. see http://drupal.org/node/87226
            $footer = '';
            $footer = _biblio_filter_replace_callback(NULL, 'output footer');
            if (preg_match('/<bibliography(\/( )?)?>/', $text) > 0) {
              $text = preg_replace('/<bibliography(\/( )?)?>/', $footer, $text, 1);
              return $text;
            }
            else {
              return $text ."\n\n". $footer;
            }
          }
      }
      break;
   case 1 :
      switch ($op) {
        // This description is shown in the administrative interface, unlike the
        // filter tips which are shown in the content editing interface.
        case 'description' :
          return t('Use &lt;ibib&gt;citekey&lt;/ibib&gt; or [ibib]citebkey[/ibib]to insert inline references.');
          // We don't need the "prepare" operation for this filter, but it's required
          // to at least return the input text as-is.
          //TODO: May need to escape <fn> if we use HTML filter too, but Footnotes could be first
        case 'prepare' :
          return $text;
          // The actual filtering is performed here. The supplied text should be
          // returned, once any necessary substitutions have taken place.
        case 'process' :
          $pattern = array('|\[ibib](.*?)\[/ibib]|s', '|<ibib>(.*?)</ibib>|s');
          $text = preg_replace_callback($pattern, '_biblio_inline_filter_replace_callback', $text);
          return $text
      }
      break;

  }

Then add the new function to handle the replacement...

function _biblio_inline_filter_replace_callback($matches) {
    $text =  _biblio_citekey_print($matches[1]) ;
  return $text;
}

That should do it, but I haven't tested this code so it may not be completely bug free.

Thanks for the kind words,

So if I understand correctly what I described above (with the debugging and enabling) worked as you desired and we can call this fixed?

Ron.

I think the feature requested in this issue is quite handy (I would need it as well). Since the code is already there, why not integrate it into the official version of Biblio? It would be much appreciated!

I've added the feature described above to the code.
