Document Classes ⇒ biblatex – footnote numbering and referencing

[Maksi]

Hello everybody,

I am using biblatex with the Memoir class and this setup for my thesis in Political Theory:

Code: Select all

\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
\usepackage[babel,german=guillemets]{csquotes}
\usepackage[natbib=true,style=verbose-inote,indexing=cite]{biblatex}
\bibliography{/Users/Maksi/Studium/Politikwissenschaft/Diplomarbeit/TeX/politischer_islam}

It works quite fine so far, however I am now having a problem that I cannot solve myself and could not find any answer for in the (not very well written) biblatex manual:

biblatex.jpg (16.11 KiB) Viewed 3907 times

For those who do not understand German it says: 17) Ottmann, as in footnote 23
In this place I have cited Ottmann already so it refers to the first citation. This again seems to be in another chapter as biblatex sets the footnote counter to 0 at the start of every chapter. A citation as above is more than confusing then as it seems to refer to a citation already written that is to take place in the future... ah... well...?

I thought of two solutions but could not figure out any of them:

1. I configure biblatex to print something like: Ottmann, as in footnote 23 on page XY
2. I configure biblatex to not reset the counter at the beginning of every chapter

Any ideas how to do that? I really am no LaTeX expert (but I am learning more and more each day) and would be thankful for any help!

Regards,

Maksi

I stumbled across the following solution at

Code: Select all

\usepackage{remreset}
\makeatletter\@removefromreset{footnote}{chapter}\makeatother

which works great for me

Thank you for your answer, it solves the problem as in my second solution. It does not reset the counter at the beginning of each chapter.

Meanwhile I asked at the German TeX Group and also got some working code for my first solution:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{varioref} 
\newbibmacro*{footref}{% 
        \label{\thefield{entrykey}}} 
\makeatletter 
\renewbibmacro*{footcite:full}{% 
  \printtext{% 
    \usebibmacro{footref}% 
    \bibhypertarget{\thefield{entrykey}:\the\value{instcount}}{% 
      \usedriver 
        {\DeclareNameAlias{sortname}{default}} 
        {\thefield{entrytype}}}}% 
  \usebibmacro{shorthandintro}} 
\renewbibmacro*{footcite:note}{% 
  \ifnameundef{labelname} 
    {\printfield{label}} 
    {\printnames{labelname}}% 
  \ifsingletitle 
    {} 
    {\setunit*{\addcomma\space}% 
     \printfield[title]{labeltitle}}% 
  \setunit*{\addcomma\space}% 
  \printtext{% 
    \bibhyperlink{\thefield{entrykey}:% 
                  \@nameuse{cbx@first@\thefield{entrykey}}}{% 
      \bibstring{seenote}\space \vref{\thefield{entrykey}} 
      }}} 
\makeatother
