BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ IEEEtran - IEEEabrv: Author is dashed out

[daniel.85]

I'm using IEEEtran and the BiBTeX class IEEEabrv in TeXnicCenter with MiKTeX 2.8.
The problem I've got is that in the created document the author is dashed out if this author appears twice in the references like this:
D. Name, Title. Address: Publisher, Year.
------, Title. Address: Publisher, Year.

I already tried to set CTLdash_repeated_names to "no", but without sucess.

I found this document about this topic (search for CTLdash_repeated_names):
http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros ... xample.bib

I created a new BiBTex entry like this:
IEEEtranBSTCTL{IEEEexample:BSTcontrol,
CTLuse_article_number = "yes",
CTLuse_paper = "yes",
CTLuse_forced_etal = "no",
CTLmax_names_forced_etal = "10",
CTLnames_show_etal = "1",
CTLuse_alt_spacing = "yes",
CTLalt_stretch_factor = "4",
CTLdash_repeated_names = "no",
CTLname_format_string = "{f.~}{vv~}{ll}{, jj}",
CTLname_latex_cmd = ""
};

Futhermore I added the command \bstctlcite{IEEEexample:BSTcontrol} to my tex file before using \cite{} but nothing works out.

Did I miss out anything to be changed?

Thank you in advance!

Please post a mimimal example (a full LaTeX file plus example database).

Ok... this is an example .tex file named IEEEtest.tex:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[journal]{IEEEtran}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc} 	%show german umlauts



% *** CITATION PACKAGES ***
%
\usepackage{cite}
% cite.sty was written by Donald Arseneau
% V1.6 and later of IEEEtran pre-defines the format of the cite.sty package
% \cite{} output to follow that of IEEE. Loading the cite package will
% result in citation numbers being automatically sorted and properly
% "compressed/ranged". e.g., [1], [9], [2], [7], [5], [6] without using
% cite.sty will become [1], [2], [5]--[7], [9] using cite.sty. cite.sty's
% \cite will automatically add leading space, if needed. Use cite.sty's
% noadjust option (cite.sty V3.8 and later) if you want to turn this off.
% cite.sty is already installed on most LaTeX systems. Be sure and use
% version 4.0 (2003-05-27) and later if using hyperref.sty. cite.sty does
% not currently provide for hyperlinked citations.
% The latest version can be obtained at:
% http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/cite/
% The documentation is contained in the cite.sty file itself.

The database I used can be obtained here:

I attached the resulting .pdf file, so you can have a look to the problem.

It would be great if there is a solutin for this problem!
Thank you in advance!
