Presentation CSL

ralesi

I am using the 2.1 trunk and having a problem with the "speech" type for presentations. I am making a new style to work with bibliographies based on the chicago style, however I can't show more than one author. Everything I have tried, even using the author suggestion macro on the CSL walkthrough site only shows one author. I am not getting the et. al, and I am also not having my name go first-last as specified in the name directive (name-as-sort-order="all"). Also, when it finally will work, once we figure out the problem, what variable are the contributors stored under?

@ralesi: Can you post your CSL code as a public gist and post the link back to this thread?

First, are you creating a csl 1.0 style? Old styles (zotero 2.0 compatible) can't work with zotero 2.1. => http://citationstyles.org/downloads/upgrade-notes.html#updating-csl-0-8-styles

Does your style validate against the CSL 1.0 schema ? => http://www.zotero.org/support/dev/creating_citation_styles#xml_validation

Note that "contributor" is not mapped.

Are you experiencing a problem with csledit.xul ? => http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/15131/

Created GIST here

Your style is not compatible with zotero 2.1: it's a csl 0.8 style (with an error: you should add "</style>" without quotes at the very end of your file -maybe a copy/paste error)

Gracile

If you want to use your style with zotero 2.1b, you must first upgrade it: http://citationstyles.org/downloads/upgrade-notes.html#updating-csl-0-8-styles

@ralesi: Here is a copy of your style, converted to CSL 1.0 for use with Zotero 2.1:

Use the "raw" link to open the file, save to your local system, and the drag into Firefox in the usual way.

Documentation on CSL 1.0 is available here: http://citationstyles.org/downloads/specification.html

Zotero 2.1 should load CSL 0.8 styles—they are converted to CSL 1.0 internally via update.xsl. If your CSL 0.8 style is invalid, however, this won't work.

update.xsl may not be working completely correctly. See post: http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/15302/extra-line-feeds-when-zotero-21b2-parses-some-styles/#Item_1

@cmbarton,

Simon recently submitted a patch to the citeproc-js (the scruffy wizard behind CSL 1.0 support) that seems to be related to the problem described under the link you cite. The problem might go away in Zotero 2.1b3 without any further action.

cmbarton

Hope so. I'm looking forward to the update.
