Try taking the \startpublication ... \stoppublication before \starttext. Seems to work for me that way.
Hello (Taco or anyone else),
I have an impression that it used to be possible to say
\cite[author][reference], but I'm obviously doing something wrong
here, I only get Xxxxxxx or in case of [data] I don't get anything at
all (I'm using mkii). Here's an almost-minimal example:
\usemodule
[bib]
\setuppublications
[alternative=num,
criterium=all,
sorttype=cite]
\setuppublicationlist
[artauthor=\normalshortauthor,
author=\normalshortauthor]
\starttext
first: \cite[Knoll]
second: \cite[author][Knoll], \cite[alternative=author][Knoll]
third: \cite[data][Knoll]
\startpublication[k=Knoll,t=book,a=Knoll]
\title{Radiation Detection and Measurement}
\author[]{Glenn Frederick}[G.~F.]{}{Knoll}
\pubname{Wiley, John \& Sons, Incorporated}
\pubyear{1979}
\stoppublication
\placepublications
\stoptext
Thanks in advance for any hints,
Mojca
