[Tex/LaTex] Get full reference in chicago footnote

chicago-style

I am a complete beginner with Latex so please bare with me…

I am trying to use the chicago package (\usepackage{chicago}
) in order to reference other papers in mine. Does Latex do all the referencing on its own or do I have to be the one writing each footnote manually?

for example:

Is it possible to type something like

...it is a temporary condition and can be changed\footnote{\cite{Chua1999}}...

and latex will automatically create the correct full reference (for the first time the paper was referenced)? Such as the note form in http://library.sc.edu/pubserv/chicago.pdf

That's easy with biblatex-chicago package and the \footfullcite command, as mentioned in Bernard's comment.

Here is an example

\begin{filecontents*}{mybiblio.bib}
@article{Chua1999,
  author = {Chua},
  title = {A title},
  journal = {A Journal},
  year = {1999},
}\end{filecontents*}

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[backend=biber,authordate-trad]{biblatex-chicago}

\addbibresource{mybiblio.bib}

\begin{document}

...it is a temporary condition and can be changed\footfullcite{Chua1999}...

\printbibliography

\end{document}

Output (footnote)

P.S. It has to be compiled with

pdflatex file

biber file

If you want to change to biblatex, you can use biblatex-chicago; here's a little example:

\begin{filecontents*}{mybiblio.bib}
@article{S, 
  author = "Spivak, M.",
  year = "1969",
  title = "Unknown",
  url = "http://www.spivak.org"
}
\end{filecontents*}

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[authordate]{biblatex-chicago}

\addbibresource{mybiblio.bib}

\begin{document}

\autocite{S}

\printbibliography

\end{document}

EDIT: using the bib entry in the question's EDIT, I used the following code (note that I used the organization field instead of the author field and changed the urldate format as required by biblatex):

\begin{filecontents*}{mybiblio.bib}
@online{norges-bank-okning,
   organization = {Norges Bank},
   Date-Added = {2011-04-02 18:39:21 +0200},
   Date-Modified = {2011-04-02 19:19:30 +0200},
   Keywords = {web},
   Lastchecked = {02.04.2011},
   Month = {04},
   Title = {Bruken av kort og nettbank {\o}ker fortsatt},
   Url = {http://www.norges-bank.no/templates/article____16691.aspx},
   Urldate = {2011-04-02},
   Year = {2011}}
\end{filecontents*}

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[authordate]{biblatex-chicago}
\usepackage{filecontents}

\addbibresource{mybiblio.bib}

\begin{document}

\autocite{norges-bank-okning}

\printbibliography

\end{document}

and obtained the following result:

The following minimal example works for me. Note that biblatex-chicago now requires the use of biber as opposed to bibtex if you are using author-date style or if your .bib file is UTF-8 encoded.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[nopar]{lipsum} % for dummy text
\usepackage[american]{babel}
\usepackage[babel]{csquotes}
\usepackage[notes,natbib,isbn=false,backend=biber]{biblatex-chicago}  
\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
@book{Saussure1995,
    Author = {Ferdinand de Saussure},
    Origyear = {1916},
    Publisher = {Payot},
    Title = {Cours de Linguistique G{\'e}n{\'e}rale},
    Year = {1995}}

@book{Labov1972,
    Address = {Philadelphia},
    Author = {William Labov},
    Publisher = {University of Pennsylvania Press},
    Title = {Sociolinguistic Patterns},
    Year = {1972}}

\end{filecontents}
\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}
\begin{document}


\lipsum[1]\autocite{Saussure1995}

\lipsum[2]\autocite{Labov1972}


\end{document}

Here are some extra considerations on using biblatex:

Make sure your TeX distribution is completely up-to-date. biblatex, biber, and the bibliography styles that depend on them are being actively developed, and small changes might have big effects.
biblatex is increasingly becoming dependent on biber as a backend (as opposed to bibtex) and although some packages work with both, you may want to consider using biber if you are using biblatex at all.
biblatex generates a lot of auxiliary files with various extensions that your editing environment may not be aware of. It is also sensitive to corrupted or incomplete aux files, so it's a good idea to manually delete them if you are encountering problems. This is especially true if you are trying to switch between using biber and using bibtex on the same file.
The basic command for using biber is:
```
biber <file>.bcf
```
You may need to adjust your editing environment preferences to use it from within the editor.
