Modify content of \footcite command and display of bibliography

Question

I would like to have footnote citation of the following format:

---

---

With a raised number in the text and the author (year): title, page in the footnote. The bibliography should include the rest of the information:

---

---

Here is a minimum working example, that gets close to what I need:

\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
    @article{Amblee.2008,
        author = {Amblee, Naveen and Bui, Tung},
        year = {2008},
        title = {Can Brand Reputation Improve the Odds of Being Reviewed On-Line?},
        pages = {11--28},
        volume = {12},
        number = {3},
        issn = {1086-4415},
        journal = {International Journal of Electronic Commerce},
        doi = {10.2753/JEC1086-4415120302}
    }
    }
\end{filecontents}

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,headinclude,headsepline,parskip=half]{book}
\usepackage{filecontents}

\usepackage[backend=bibtex,citestyle=verbose-ibid]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}
\usepackage[hidelinks]{hyperref} %Makes Table of Contents clickable

\begin{document}

    Text\footcite[See][pages 1--2]{Amblee.2008} more text

    \printbibliography

\end{document} 

This results in the following footnote that has too much information:

---

---

and a Bibliography entry that has a [1] that I dont want:

---

---

How do I limit the footnote content and get rid of the numbers in the Bibliography?

Answer 1

The biblatex style authortitle is close to what you want. We can make three small changes:

1. Add the date into the citation macro

   \renewbibmacro*{cite}{%
     \iffieldundef{shorthand}
       {\printnames{labelname}%
        \setunit{\addspace}%
        \printtext[parens]{\usebibmacro{date}}%
        \setunit*{\printdelim{nametitledelim}}%
        \usebibmacro{cite:title}}%
       {\usebibmacro{cite:shorthand}}}
   

2. Change the delimiter between name and title for footcite and smartcite contexts:

   \DeclareDelimFormat[footcite,smartcite]{nametitledelim}{\addcolon\space}
   

3. Change the default strings to print page and pages in full, that way you only need put the numbers into the postnote.

   \DefineBibliographyStrings{english}{%
     page = {page},
     pages = {pages},
   }
   

Aside: If you can use biber instead of bibtex:

\usepackage[style=authortitle]{biblatex}

MWE

\RequirePackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
@article{Amblee.2008,
  author = {Amblee, Naveen and Bui, Tung},
  year = {2008},
  title = {Can Brand Reputation Improve the Odds of Being Reviewed On-Line?},
  pages = {11-28},
  volume = {12},
  number = {3},
  issn = {1086-4415},
  journal = {International Journal of Electronic Commerce},
  doi = {10.2753/JEC1086-4415120302}
}
\end{filecontents}

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[backend=bibtex, style=authortitle]{biblatex}

\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}

\DeclareDelimFormat[footcite,smartcite]{nametitledelim}{\addcolon\space}

\renewbibmacro*{cite}{%
  \iffieldundef{shorthand}
    {\printnames{labelname}%
     \setunit{\addspace}%
     \printtext[parens]{\usebibmacro{date}}%
     \setunit*{\printdelim{nametitledelim}}%
     \usebibmacro{cite:title}}%
    {\usebibmacro{cite:shorthand}}}

% automatically use page(s) instead of p. and pp.
\DefineBibliographyStrings{english}{%
  page = {page},
  pages = {pages},
}

\begin{document}
\null\vfill
Text\footcite[See][1-2]{Amblee.2008} more text
\printbibliography
\end{document}
