Who knew that works cited pages could be so fun?
With the help of Ron Jerome‘s Bibliography module for Drupal, I’m beginning to really geek-out on my professional web site. Instead of a list of works that I have cited on this blog, I can how have individual entries for every work I cite (like the one for Sterling’s new book), and a complete bibliography of entries. It still has some issues — like not having a place for page numbers when citing a journal article, or not being able to use SmartyPants — but it is an excellent module for researchers. This is the coolest thing for academics who use Drupal since Norton came out with their new Western Literature anthologies — maybe cooler! Can you feel the excitement? Thanks, Ron.
If you go the admin/settings/biblio/types page, you can customize which fields are availble for any given type. You can also create your own custom types on this page.
Yes, I saw that, but this page is not exactly user-friendly. Thanks, Ron.
I agree, that page is not incredibly intuitive, I’m welcome suggestions if you have any.
Ron.
Well, I do not at the moment, partially because part of that page is covered by my right menus, so I don’t even think I’m seeing the whole thing. Weird.
That page is formated as an HTML table, and I have noticed that some themes don’t handle tables very well, so I guess that’s the problem you are running into.
That’s one of the things I like about the CivicSpace theme is that it has a completely different “admin” theme, so these sorts of problems are usually avoided.
