Customize citation style - page numbers in word and suffix for identical year numbers

ninahenk

Hello everyone,

I am currently in the process of creating a citation style that matches the specifications. I'm already satisfied so far, but I still have two problems that I haven't been able to solve yet.

1. I have to cite the page number in the footer. It should look like this:

Vgl. source1, 2024, S. 101 (online). - For online documents
Vgl. source2, 2024, online. - For websites
Vgl. source3, 2024, S. 101 - for books etc.

When I paste the whole thing into Word, I get the following result for an online document:

Vgl. source1, 2024, (online), S. 20.

although I have inserted the page numbers before the addition “(online)” in the editor.

The same applies to the websites. Does anyone here have an idea how to solve the problem without manually setting the suffix for each individual source when inserting it?

2. If I have several sources by the same author from the same year, letters should be added. It currently looks like this:
Vgl. source1, 2024a, online.

But it should look like this:
Vgl. source1, 2024 (a), online.
Exactly the same for the bibliography.

I would be delighted if someone could help me. I've already tried a lot of things, but unfortunately I can't get any further.

Best regards, Nina :)

1. That looks like a locator (i.e. what you add in the Word add-on), not a page (which is part of the entry in Zotero). You're likely looking for the wrong variable.
2. You out can style this using the variable "year-suffix" explicitly

It all worked out, thank you very much!
