BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ changing the citation style

[mohhefny]

Hello all,

I am very new to LaTex so my question may be really naive. I am writing my PhD thesis using the attached template. The problem is that I need to change the citation style so that it based on author year not numbers as in the template. I tried to many times but it always fail with many error messages due to the macros of the template.

It will be a great help to guide me how to change the style. Unfortunately I have only limited time to finalize the thesis.

Thank you in advance.

Is it right to assume that by changing the citation style to author year you mean replacing line 14 of bibliography_format.tex with:

Code: Select all

style=authoryear

?
Because if I do that I can compile thesis.tex without any error.
