hi all, we are writing a thesis in german and the "Author Year" citation is required.
after some googe-ing we decided to use "biblatex" within lyx as it seems that this is the "state of the art" way to do that (and it read rather easily). we installed "biblatex" tex/latex packages (via synaptic package manager on our ubuntu laptops), so biblatex is basically available for tex/latex. after that we installed the biblatex.module into the lyx user directory and reconfigured lyx (everthing as decribed within the howtos on the lyx web site). we could add the "biblatex" module to our document and within LyX, the inserted citations look ok -- the "preview" in LyX itself is Author Year - -perfekt. the big Problem: if we generate a PDF file (or dvi or any other output format), within the Output the citation is in wrong format - author-year is lost -- simply the bibtex-keys for the entries are printed out instead of author year. the whole bibliography is missing and not printed in the output document ! as in lyx everything seems ok, I guess this could be a latex related problem --- we tried several things but nothing worked really out. any ideas are appreciated!!!!! regards, hans
