BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ URL not appearing with Bibtex

[Colin93]

Hi everyone

I need to include websites in my references ans I'm using Bibtex. As you can see I use the package "url" but the websites do not appear on my pdf. Could you help me ?

Here's my premable :

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{book}

\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{subfigure}

\usepackage{longtable}
\usepackage{amsfonts,amsthm,amssymb}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage{color}
\usepackage{geometry}

\usepackage{lscape}
\usepackage{stmaryrd}

\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[hyperindex]{hyperref}

\usepackage{lettrine}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{eurosym}
\usepackage{fourier}
\usepackage{url}

\usepackage{nomencl,etoolbox,siunitx,ragged2e}

And here are my references in my references section. This is a separate file :

Code: Select all

@Unpublished{5,
author = {M - mecaflux Heliciel},
title = {Theorie de Froude relative aux on propeller propulsion or traction},
OPTmonth = {May},
OPTyear = {2016},

OPTannote = {http://www.heliciel.com/en/helice/calcul-helice-aile/Theorie%20de%20Froude%20relative%20aux%20helices%20de%20traction%20ou%20propulsion.htm},
}

@misc{6,
  OPTauthor = {ONERA - THE FRENCH AEROSPACE LAB},
  OPTtitle = {elsA - a CFD Software Package for Compressible Flows around Complex Various geometries},
  OPThowpublished = "\url{http://elsa.onera.fr/elsA/software/pressoft.html}", 
  OPTnote = "[Online; accessed May 2016]"
}

@misc{7,
  OPTauthor = {ONERA - THE FRENCH AEROSPACE LAB},
  OPTtitle = {DMFN – Mécanique des fluides numérique - Cassiopée},
  OPThowpublished = "\url{http://www.onera.fr/fr/dmfn/cassiopee}",
  OPTnote = "[Online; accessed May 2016]"
}

@Misc{8,
OPTauthor = {ANSYS},
OPTtitle = {ANSYS ICEM CFD},
OPThowpublished = "\url{http://resource.ansys.com/Products/Other+Products/ANSYS+ICEM+CFD}",
OPTnote = "[Online; accessed May 2016]"
}

I've tried different ways to make the websites appear...

[Johannes_B]

Bibliographystyle? Most of the thousands of bibliographystyles for BibTeX do not support the inclusion of websites.

On the other hand, all styles for the modern biblatex support online entries and url-fields.

[Colin93]

Hi Johannes_B

Yes I'm using Bibliographystyle...
So you're saying I should use Biblatex instead ? I didn't know this command... Thankyou !

[Johannes_B]

My question was unclear. Which bibliographystyle are you using? Without knowing that, it is impossible to answer your question.

Yes, if you are not publishing in a journal, package biblatex is the way to go.

[Colin93]

Errr I have these commands in my template...

Code: Select all

\bibliographystyle{plain}
\renewcommand{\bibname}{References}
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\numberline{}References}
\lhead[\fancyplain{}{\bfseries \thepage}]%
      {\fancyplain{}{\bfseries References}}
\rhead[\fancyplain{}{\bfseries References}]%
      {\fancyplain{}{\bfseries \thepage}}
\cfoot{}%
\bibliography{references}

[Johannes_B]

Unless your plain.bst is not modified (which it shouldn't be) it shouldn't know any of the stuff starting with OPT. So it really isn't surprising that nothing is shown. Get rid of that OPT and just leave author, title, howpublished etc.

[Colin93]

Hi Johannes_B

I'm now using this code :

Code: Select all

\section*{Bibliography}
\bibliographystyle{apalike}
\bibliography{bibliography.bib} 

I've uploaded the necessary packages in my preamble.

I'm using JabRef and I've the activated advanced Biblatex mode (as you have adviced someone earlier on http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/ ... erence-man) so I can use @online. However the urls still do not appear on the pdf.

[Johannes_B]

Because you are not using biblatex, and if you do it clashes with the stuff at the end. You can't just say biblatex in jabref. Jabref is completely irrelevant here.

Please read some basic material on biblatex. Also, apa-citation and bibliography is completely different to a plain style. Since i don't know what you are trying to achive, i cannot even give a better advice.

Now, Weekend!

Hi Johannes_B

U're right. I need to provide you a better example of what I do...

Here's my main .tex code. Pls click on pdf Viewer as u'll have an error when u run this code. You can nevertheless see the pdf output.

For every entry that's a @online, I'd like the url to appear on my pdf.
I'm going to read more about BibLatex. Thankyou for your advice.
