General ⇒ I can´t get backreferences in the bibliography

[corderin]

Hi,

I am using the backref option of hyperref to get backreferences in the bibliography but it doesn´t work...my code is:

preamble (only the packages that can have some relation)

Code: Select all

\usepackage[pagebackref=true,colorlinks]{hyperref}
\hypersetup{pdffitwindow=true,linkcolor=black,citecolor=black,urlcolor=RoyalBlue}
\usepackage{cite}
\usepackage{babelbib}
\setbtxfallbacklanguage{english}

document

Code: Select all

\bibliographystyle{babunsrt-fl}
\bibliography{references}

Could somebody help me?

Hi,

I did some tests using the code you posted (after suitable completion) and found out that the cite package was to blame for the undesired bahaviour. You could try removing it and using natbib in its stead.

Ok, without the cite package my code works, but I haven´t still any backreference in the bibliography.

I would like to use the babelbib package in our to become multilanguage entries in the bibliography, I guess the backref should work together with babelbib...but I don´t know why it doesn´t work yet...

Thank you otherwise.

Problem SOLVED, instead of calling backref from the hyperref package I have written it afterwards and now it works...this way:

Code: Select all

\usepackage[colorlinks]{hyperref}
\hypersetup{pdffitwindow=true,linkcolor=LightSkyBlue,citecolor=Sienna,
urlcolor=Navy,menucolor=black}
\usepackage[hyperpageref]{backref} 

when somebody has the same problem this is the solution...I had thought it was enough with the hyperref, but it wasn´t.

Hmmm, makes me wonder. As I said before, removing the cite package was enough (with the code you posted). The following code produces the desired back references as expected (I attach the resulting pdf file):

Code: Select all

\begin{filecontents*}{tbiblio.bib}
@article{mifflin,
  	author    = "R. Mifflin",
  	title     = "Semismooth and semiconvex functions in constrained
               optimization",
  	journal   = "Siam Journal on Control",
  	year      = "1977",
  	volume    = "15",
  	pages     = "957--972"
}

@book{winter.periaux.ea,
    	author    = "G. Winter and J. Periaux and M. Galan and P. Cuesta",
    	title     = "Genetic Algorithms in Engineering and Computer
		 Science",
    	publisher = "John Wiley and Sons",
    	address   = "Chickester, England",
    	year      = "1995"
}
\end{filecontents*}
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage[pagebackref=true,colorlinks]{hyperref}
\hypersetup{pdffitwindow=true,linkcolor=black,citecolor=black,urlcolor=RoyalBlue}
\usepackage{babelbib}
\setbtxfallbacklanguage{english}

\begin{document}

\cite{mifflin}

\end{document}

I have reimproved my code with something very interesting...

Code: Select all

\usepackage[colorlinks]{hyperref}
\hypersetup{pdffitwindow=true,linkcolor=LightSkyBlue,citecolor=Sienna,urlcolor=Navy,menucolor=black}
\RequirePackage[hyperpageref]{backref} 
   \renewcommand*{\backref}[1]{}  
   \renewcommand*{\backrefalt}[4]{
      \ifcase #1 
         No cited.
      \or
         Cited on page #2.
      \else
         Cited on pages #2.
      \fi} 

From the backref package documentation. Now the result looks very nice, whit these lines.

Hi, this code that is added at the end to modify the look of the backref does not work in my case. I have posted something, don't know if it is at the wrong place... here is the link to my post:

I would really like to get this to work. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
