BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ Why only the year is as a link in \cite reference

[samfaith]

I have a problem in citing references with \cite, I have only the year as a link. I want to display the author and year as a single link. I don't know where the problem is?!

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
   \usepackage{filecontents}%
   %\usepackage[style=authoryear,natbib]{biblatex}
   \usepackage[style=apa,backref=true,backend=biber,natbib=true,hyperref=true]    {biblatex} 
  \usepackage[american]{babel}
  \DeclareLanguageMapping{american}{american-apa}

  \begin{filecontents*}{apabibli1.bib}
  @article{Sampson1989,
  author = {Sampson, R J and Groves, W B},
  year = {1989},
  title = {Community structure and crime: testing social-disorganization theory},
  volume = {94},
  number = {4},
  journal = {Am J Soc},
  pages = {774}
  }
 @book{Rijsbergen1979,
 author = {Rijsbergen, C V},
 year = {1979},
 title = {Information retrieval},
 address = {London},
 publisher = {Butter Worths}
 }
\end{filecontents*}

I need your help please

Hi and welcome, a look into the documentation reveals the following:

Refactored hyperref to only link from years to make it consistent across cite commands

So, this is by design.

[samfaith]

Thanks for your repley, but I want to display the author and the year as a single link, any help please?

[Johannes_B]

You have to either enclose all ocurrences of any names in \printtext[bibhyperref]{}, which will simply add yet another link, or somehow try to enclose the whole string of the citation within \printtext[bibhyperref]{}.

[samfaith]

I don't know how I use this command. I try to use it this :

Code: Select all

\printtext[bibhyperref]{\cite {Li2001}}

But I have an error:

Undefined control sequence \printtext[bibhyperref]{\cite {Li2001}}

Any help please, I need the reponse to submit my paper?

I am not very experienced in modyfying biblatex styles. And i have to say, the effort isn't worth it. The author of biblatex-apa had some good reasons to do it the way it is (it was changed at a later point).

How are you submitting your paper? The chances are pretty high, that they will do stuff with your files anyway.

Modifying the style would take me hours, if your editor rejects the paper, because the expected style isn't applied, all my work would have been useless.
