I have an issue I was not able to solve by now. When I use the \textcite command in combination with a page number, the year is enclosed in square brackets. How can I delete them?

    Remove the \renewbibmacro*{cite:labelyear+extrayear}... definition. – Ulrike Fischer Aug 18 '16 at 11:36
  • Thank you Ulrike, but then my footcites change. The year is not enclosed in brackets anymore. Before: Beasley et al. (2008), p. 311. After Beasley et al. 2008, p. 311. – TRJW Aug 18 '16 at 12:52

    Then change the bibhyperrefparens format (needs a current biblatex): \DeclareFieldFormat{bibhyperrefparens}{\ifcsstring{blx@delimcontext}{textcite} {\bibhyperref{#1}} {\bibhyperref{\mkbibparens{#1}}}} – Ulrike Fischer Aug 18 '16 at 13:08

    % --- () year text \renewbibmacro*{cite:labelyear+extrayear}{% \iffieldundef{labelyear} {}% {\printtext[bibhyperrefparens]{% \printfield[]{labelyear}% \printfield[]{extrayear}% }% }% }

  • I have modified my TEX file as you can see above. Unfortunately I get an ERROR: "! Missing \endcsname inserted." When (Sorry for the format - how can I insert a code properly?)) :( – TRJW Aug 18 '16 at 14:44
  • Perhaps your biblatex is outdated. Don't insert code in the comments, you can edit your question. – Ulrike Fischer Aug 18 '16 at 14:44
  • What output exactly do you expect from the different cite commands? Do you want a \textcite-like output from \cite and \footcite as well? Would you expect there to be a difference between \cite and \textcite? – moewe Aug 18 '16 at 14:56
  • Note that in your MWE a few line breaks seem to have one awry, so that a few lines are commented even though they shouldn't be. – moewe Aug 18 '16 at 15:03

Since both the cite and textcite bibmacros use cite:labelyear+extrayear you should not insert the parentheses there.

An easy solution is to define a new macro with parentheses and use that in cite

\DeclareFieldFormat{bibhyperrefparens}{\bibhyperref{\mkbibparens{#1}}}

\newbibmacro*{cite:parens:labelyear+extrayear}{%
  \iffieldundef{labelyear}
    {}
    {\printtext[bibhyperrefparens]{%
       \printfield{labelyear}%
       \printfield{extrayear}}}}

\renewbibmacro*{cite}{%
  \iffieldundef{shorthand}
    {\ifthenelse{\ifnameundef{labelname}\OR\iffieldundef{labelyear}}
       {\usebibmacro{cite:label}%
        \setunit{\printdelim{nonameyeardelim}}}
       {\printnames{labelname}%
        \setunit{\printdelim{nameyeardelim}}}%
     \usebibmacro{cite:parens:labelyear+extrayear}}
    {\usebibmacro{cite:shorthand}}}

please note how I simplified your code, especially the \citemultinamedelim bit.
