Theses, Books, Title pages ⇒ Bibliography error

[leadfarmer]

Hello,

I've started using the Masters/Doctoral Thesis template and I find it absolutely great! Thank you for that and for keeping an updated forum.

I have one problem concerning the bibliography.
I have the latest JabRef installed with BibLaTeX mode on, I reinstalled the latest MikTeX and am using Texmaker.
I've never actually used BibLaTeX/BibTeX before and now I'm getting the following error when after editing 'main-blx.bib' using JabRef:

Code: Select all

! Package biblatex Error: File 'main-blx.bib' not created by biblatex.See the biblatex package documentation for explanation.Type H <return> for immediate help.... \begin{document}

I've searched the internet and this forum and I cannot quite figure out what is the problem.

Thanks in advance.

Texmaker provides a button clean up (or something similar) in the Tools section. Be sure to run the program specified by backend= when package biblatex is loaded.

Thank you very much for the reply.

I realized my mistake not running BibTeX. For future reference for someone stumbling in this thread, in TeXmaker:
Options->Configure Texmaker->Quick Build->PdfLaTeX+Bib(La)TeX+PdfLaTeX (x2) + View Pdf

I've managed to run a sample code:

Code: Select all

Code, edit and compile here:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[backend=bibtex,style=authoryear,natbib=true]{biblatex} 
\bibliography{main-blx.bib} 
\begin{document}
\cite{AREF}
\printbibliography
\end{document}

Run LaTeX here

but still no luck running the main code. I made sure I cleaned both through Tools and Bibliography. Notice that if I delete the file (main-blx.bib) it runs smoothly while creating another file bearing the same name.

Your bib-databasefile (created with jabref) should be called leadfarmerReferences.bib (or something similar), but not contain the blx part. That is created by the biblatex and is used internally.

By the way, using the more modern biber program to process the database information is better. How to set my editor to use biber instead of bibtex?
