BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ Need help to modify cardiff.bst file

[Kabir7]

Hi,

I am using the cardiff.bst file (created by 'stinkinrich88') with the natbib package to obtain my preferred harvard style referencing. Everything is ok with this style file and I am getting the expected output. However, at present, in the in text citation, if there is 3 or more authors for an article then this style file put et al. after the last name of the first author instead of the full list of authors. But I want this thing for 4 or more authors, i.e., upto 3 authors it will put the full list and for 4 or more authors it will put et al. followed by the last name of the first author. As I have very limited idea about Latex style files, could anyone who has expertise in this area please help me to modify the style file to do the above change.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi and welcome,

can you construct a little test case, that lets us testing?
If i understood you right, you want to change the appearance of in-text citations, which should be dealt with by natbib, not the bibliography style, which takes care of the style of the bibliography.
