Problem with collapse in Multi Citations

logan138

Hello all,

I'm in these and I'm very interesting by Zotero.
I find a style witch is nearly what I want and I try to modify it.
The style is American Society of Civil Engineers
https://gist.github.com/822253

I have do little modification like number before "et al" or type of disambiguate to have only disambiguate on the date or prefix and suffix citation.
Here you find the new style with my modifications
https://gist.github.com/822259

Now my problem.
When I use the new style or the original style, I have a problem with the collapse citation when there are same first author
This is the results obtain in "zotero reference test pane" with my modification
Click here to see the picture

I search to have a colappse like
Al-Assaf et al 2005 a,b
or
Elmanan et al 2008 a-c

I know it's possible, because some style could do that but I don't see what i must change to obtaint this and not an error message.

Could you help me please.

I'm sorry for my bad english ....

Thanks a lot

logan

Your current style is in the CSL 0.8.1 format. Collapsing with "year-suffix-ranged" only became available with CSL 1.0, so you can either a) keep your style, but use <option name="collapse" value="year-suffix"/>, or b) convert your style to the CSL 1.0 format (http://citationstyles.org/downloads/upgrade-notes.html#updating-csl-0-8-styles), for which "year-suffix-ranged" should work (note that using CSL 1.0 styles require Zotero 2.1 beta).

In either case, it's recommended that you validate your style, as this helps you catch these kind of errors: http://www.zotero.org/support/dev/creating_citation_styles#validation

A the begining it's noted
