Hello,
I have a very similar problem at the moment, but I'm afraid the solution
specified in this thread doesn't work for me. My setup is:
1. I'm using Windows XP Service Pack 3, MikTeX 2.8 and Lyx 2.0.
2. As a backend to biblatex I use biber.
I have tried to use a simple .bib file with one entry located at C:\Test\. I
have followed the instructions for using biblatex in the LyX wiki
(http://wiki.lyx.org/BibTeX/Biblatex#toc2). When I try to compile a file, the
resulting PDF shows no bibliography and the cites are not formatted according by
the options set in the preamble, but are simply the key printed in bold. I have
tried out several things to make it work, but they all failed. Among them are:
1. Switching between \bibliography and \addbibresource.
2. Using "/" slashes and using "\" slashes. When using "/" slashes, the PDF
output only shows the keys as explained above, when using "\" slashes LaTeX
seems to interpret them as commands and shows an error message. Putting the path
in quotes or in \string" doesn't change that.
3. Following the reccomendation in the wiki I tried to setup a texmf order in
C:\texmf to put my .bib-file, but MikTeX won't accept it as a rootfile, showing
an error message:
"MiKTeX Problem Report
Message: Not a TDS-compliant root directory.

I am fairly new to LaTeX and LyX, having begun to read about it a few months ago
and trying to use it since about a week for a test chapter for my diploma
thesis. Like any beginner I am encountering a load of problems, so I hope you
will be lenient towards me if I did make some very silly mistake or if I have
difficulties understanding something.
Thank you very much!
Kind regards
Thomas
PS. Below is the example I'm using:

It's something that at least two of us have on our radar, but (a) until the package stabilizes, we won't directly support it and (b) there is a serious need for cleanup of how bibliography formats are handled before we can really do this properly. So there's work to be done and, as usual with open source projects, not nearly enough people to do it rh

Indeed, I simply love it. It will happen just when P.Lehman, the developer of BibLaTeX, will consider that it is stable. Then...

Re: Biblatex and Lyx: Verbose Style
Ok, thanks to all. Weird behavior but it seems to be the one that is
happening. I have completed the path and everything seems alright.
Very nice package by the way. Specially since somebody took the job of
translating it to spanish. Is LyX 1.7 going to support biblatex out of
the box?
Again, thank you very much to this wonderful community. The best one
of them all!!!

I had this problem a while ago, and solved it by always giving the full path
to the bib files in the preamble. If I remember correctly, the problem has to
do with LyX's compilation strategy. To produce a pdf file, Lyx first produces a
.tex file in a temporary directory, and then runs (pdf)latex on it. At that
point, latex can no longer find the .bib database because it is no longer in
the same directory as the .tex file.
Have you tried exporting your .lyx file to a latex (.tex) file and then
running (pdf)latex on it from the command line? If I am right, it should
produce correct references while the "View>PDF" command in Lyx (which uses the
strategy above) shouldn't. Looking at the full Latex log (Document>Latex log)
can be helfpul too.
Cheers,
Stefano

Ooops, didn't see the line, sorry.
Anyway, BibLaTeX doesn't work with me without the FULL PATH, and PDF only show
bibtex keys. Tried already?
Re: Biblatex and Lyx: Verbose Style
Everything is in the same folder. Lyx can read the file and shows the
references when I select them, so no, I believe this is not the
problem. You can see the bibliography declared in the lines I
provided:
\bibliography{biblatex-apa-test-references}
I'm working right now in Ubuntu 9.04, but I also work in XP and Leopard.

BibLaTeX IS your man. As LyX is.
just 1 question: did you put
\bibliography{mybibfile}
in the preamble, after the above lines?
In my case (WinXP) it works only if I insert the ENTIRE path (C:/MyFolder...)
Anyway, it's funny:
I never have been able to have BibLaTeX work with plain LaTeX
without LyX.
Seems that LyX can show LaTeX the right .bib path.
Tell me ifit works.

Biblatex and Lyx: Verbose Style
Dear all. I'm trying to use biblatex with lyx, using the verbose
style. I followed carefully the instructions in the wiki. Lyx compiles
the document, but instead of showing full citations for the first time
a reference is used, I only get the key for the reference in the PDF.
This is the preamble I'm using:
\usepackage[natbib=true,style=verbose-note,autocite=footnote,sorting=nyt]{biblatex}
\bibliography{biblatex-apa-test-references}
\renewcommand\cite{\autocite}
\renewcommand\citep{\autocite}
I redefine the cite and citep commands to use footnote cites, but
that's it. You can see the output in an attached PDF. The weird part
is that if I export the document to latex and compile it by hand, the
desired result is obtained. I believe that maybe LyX is not compiling
the bibliography as it should and it only shows the results of a badly
constructed bbl file.
Does anybody know about this problem? I have to work on a big document
and I think biblatex is the way to go, but not at the cost of having
to work directly on Latex.
