seems to catch type conference paper

chris.fane

im currently working on a schema, but have got some issues with

<else-if type="chapter">

also catching items of type="paper-conference"

has anyone else come accross this, or am i doing soemthing wrong ?

Papers published in conference proceedings (Zotero "conference paper" type) are cited as "chapter," conference presentations (Zotero "presentation" type) are cited as "paper-conference"--can you explain how that creates a problem for your style? If this needs to be changed please post your request on the zotero-dev list and/or the xbiblio-dev list (the latter is for CSL development and implementation).

ok, ill see if i can work it with that info.

it was just unexpected, more than anything. Im just trying to implement a referencing specification ive been given for my university dissertation.

unfortunately the conference paper specifications is slightly different from that of the chapters. but ill take another look.

Thanks

It should be possible to change Zotero mapping to accommodate special formatting for conference proceedings--this needs to be discussed with Zotero & CSL developers first however--see this zotero-dev post.

I agree with cris.fane. There should be the possibility to differentiate between a book section and a conference paper. Both are cited as "chapter" at the moment. Are there any plans to change that (soon) ? Which possibilities do I have at the moment to differentiate between book sections and conference papers at the bibliography (same input data options at the zotero-info sheet)?

@ cris.fane: how have you got round with the conference papers finally?

Thank you very much for your help and developing zotero!

Michael - you can have separate rules for conference papers - the csl term is paper-conference and Zotero maps to that. chapter is the fallback option for the item type, so if you want to test for paper-conference you need to do that _before_ testing for chapter but it's absolutely possible to differentiate (and there are some - few - style that do).
For item types and mapping see here:

The same applies for book and report btw.

Thank you very much. I didn't know something about the fall back options. I changed the positions in the csl-code and it works now...Great.

@adamsmith,

I'm pretty sure we eliminated the type-specific fallbacks in CSL 1.0. If it doesn't match exactly, it just falls through to else like a normal conditional would do.

It's not in the upgrade notes for CSL 1.0, but yes, item type fallback was removed for CSL 1.0.
