Once Biblioscape database is published on the Web by BiblioWeb, you can link to it from your Web site, your word document, etc. Since BiblioWeb content is protected, you need to add the login name and password info into the URL. For example, if your user name is "guest" and your password is also "guest". You can enter the following URL to display a reference record:
You can add the "&edit_loginname=guest&edit_password=guest" text to the end of any BiblioWeb URL to gain access to a record, search, etc. This makes it easy to access your database from other places like your word document, a web page, etc. Here are more examples:
Create an automatic login hyperlink
To access BiblioWeb powered site, user needs to have a login account. If BiblioWeb is licensed by "concurrent users" or "hits", you can create a hyperlink to let Web user login to BiblioWeb with just one click. The following code shows you how to create such a link in HTML.
Try a <a href="http://128.192.2.200:8002/bw_login2srch?edit_loginname=guest&edit_password=guest">live</a> example.
Create a hyperlink to run a search without an account
You can create a hyperlink to run an Advanced Search on BiblioWeb server without the need of account information. But individual record can't be displayed out the search result set, because a proper user login is required for that. The following example shows you how to create such a link in HTML.
This is a test for hyperlinked query. <A HREF="http://128.192.2.200:8002/bw_search_adv?sql=select+bib.*+from+bib+where+bib.authors+like+'%25Smith%25'+&hiwords=smith"> Try this link for all publications by Smith</A>
Create a hyperlink to login and run a search
If you want the user to be able to browse searched records, you need to add the login information plus the query into the hyperlink. In other words, the user login and a pre-defined search is run in one click. To take advantage of this feature, BiblioWeb server should be licensed by "concurrent users" or "hits". Because when licensed by "number of users", each user account can't access the server from more than 5 machines. Here is an example for such a link.
This is a test for auto-login plus hyperlinked query in one click. <A HREF="http://128.192.2.200:8002/bw_login2srch?edit_loginname=guest&edit_password=guest&bw_search_adv?sql=select+bib.*+from+bib+where+bib.title+like+'%25Synthesis%25'+&hiwords=synthesis"> Try this link for all publications have the word "Synthesis" in title</A>

Re: Create hyperlinks to BiblioWeb records
Paul,
Is there any way to create a record link that would allow a user to edit the record if it was created by the user? For example, I wish the first link above (http://216.205.78.164:8001/bw_ref_bib.htm?RefID=5838&hiwords=&edit_login...) would allow the user "guest" to edit record 5838, but it doesn't seem to do that. When I use a link like that, it still prompts me to log in when I click the "Edit" button/link on the record page. Is there any way to include the record creator's user name and password in a record link and be able to edit the record without being prompted to log in?
Thanks,
Ben
In current release,
In current release, BiblioWeb only creates a logged in session when loginname and password are included in URL after "bw_login2srch?". This is not user friendly. From version 7.19, BiblioWeb will create a session in all cases. So user can do more searching and browsing without the need to manually login. Thanks.
