Not show number of pages in book

mblunk

I created my own CSL style with online generator (http://www.somwhere.org/csl) for entry "book" and "journal article" but zotero don't generate the total number of pages. But i added the total number of pages in zotero database.

I have this version of zotero -- 2.0b7.6

fragment of CSL source:

<macro name="page">
<choose>
<if type="article-journal">
<text variable="page" font-weight="normal" font-style="normal" text-case="" vertical-align="baseline" form=""/>
</if>
<else-if type="book">
<text variable="page" font-weight="normal" font-style="normal" text-case="" vertical-align="baseline" form=""/>
</else-if>
<else>
<text variable="page" font-weight="normal" font-style="normal" text-case="" vertical-align="baseline" form=""/>
</else>
</choose>
</macro>

<bibliography>
<layout>
<choose>
<if type="article-journal">
<text macro="author-short" prefix="" suffix=""/>
<text macro="title" prefix="" suffix=" // "/>
<text macro="container-title" prefix="" suffix=". --- "/>

<text macro="issue" prefix="%u2116 " suffix=". --- "/>
<text macro="page" prefix="%u0421. " suffix="."/>
</if>
<else-if type="book">

<text macro="title" prefix="" suffix=". — "/>

</else-if>
<else>

<text macro="author-short" prefix="" suffix=". "/>
<text macro="title" prefix="" suffix=". --- "/>
<text macro="publisher-place" prefix="" suffix=":"/>

<text macro="year-date" prefix="" suffix=". --- "/>
<text macro="page" prefix="" suffix=" %u0441. —"/>

I believe you want "number-of-pages", not "page".

(Also, for what it's worth, that CSL generator is old and produces bad output, and it's recommended that it not be used.)

mblunk

Ok. Thank you for advice. I will try it.

UPDATE:
I downloaded this style with "number-of-pages" value:
http://code.google.com/p/zotero-gost-rus-bibliography/

But it's not generated the bibliography with total number of pages in book:
Aspects of the Theory of Syntax [Текст] / N. Chomsky. — Cambridge: M.I.T. Press, 1965.

And it's should be:
Aspects of the Theory of Syntax [Текст] / N. Chomsky. — Cambridge: M.I.T. Press, 1965. — 265 p.

UPDATE #2:
I think i should add this:

<macro name="number-of-pages">
<text variable="number-of-pages" font-style="normal" vertical-align="baseline" font-weight="normal" text-case="" form=""/>
</macro>
<bibliography>
<if type="book">
<text macro="author" prefix="" suffix=" "/>
<text macro="title-text"/>
<text macro="volume-book" prefix=": "/>
<text macro="collection-title" prefix=": " suffix=""/>
<text macro="author-short"/>
<text macro="publisher-place" prefix=". — " suffix=": "/>
<text macro="publisher" prefix="" suffix=", "/>
<text macro="year-date" prefix="" suffix="."/>
<text macro="number-of-pages"/>
</if>
</bibliography>

I created the simple test style and i can see the total of pages in book.

<macro name="citation-number">
<text variable="citation-number" font-style="normal" vertical-align="baseline" />
</macro>
<macro name="title">
<text variable="title" font-weight="normal" font-style="normal" text-case="" vertical-align="baseline" form=""/>

I take it you mean you can't see the total of pages, right?
I don't think "number-of-pages" works at the moment. It will in the new CSL processor.

dstillman

Oh, it's been mapped since 2.0b7.6, apparently. The mapping exists on the trunk and will be in the next version.

adamsmith

oh right, I did remember this was discussed somewhere, but knew it didn't work yet.
b7.7 (or 8?) will be out soon.

mblunk

Thank you for information.

And for version 2.0b7.6 can i generate the bibilography with total number of pages, perhaps with undocumented capabilities of zotero? :) Or it's no method to do this in this version? Or nobody before ask it ? :) then no issue to do total number of pages in a book since zotero 1.0?

dstillman

The next release should be out by the end of the week. You can always use a dev build, but I wouldn't recommend it for something as trivial as this. You can alternatively apply the patch yourself if you can't wait.

adamsmith

no you can't do that correctly in the current version. In 1.0 that was possible only due to a wrong mapping of the # of pages field to the pages variable, which created a whole bunch of other issues.

mblunk

This is a great project! Thank you for help! I will try to fix it by myself by adding this patch.

mblunk

It's works! Thank you a lot, guys! I've added the patch and it's fixed now! :)
