Adding ibid to style

Hello there

I am a complete novice in CLS as I did not even know of it's existence until about 12 hours ago. I have sort of figured out how the coding stuff works, but there are a few things that I can't make happen:
1 - When using the same citation more than once in a row it should say (ibid.) or (ibid., xx) with xx as page number.
2 - When making a bibliography I can't figure out how to remove the space after the year. Right now it looks like this: Astrup, A. (2006) : Menneskets ernær.........
It should look like this: Astrup, A. (2006): Menneskets ernær.....

The .csl file can be found here: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/13099012/harvard-style-of-reference-ph-metropol.csl

I'm hoping that someone would be kind enough to tell me what to do or maybe do it for me and send it via email or dropbox.

Thank you in advance
  • 1. Use the Österreichische Zeitschrift für Politikwissenschaft style as a template:
    http://www.zotero.org/styles/osterreichische-zeitschrift-fur-politikwissenschaft

    2. Unfortunately you didn't pick a very well suited style as a template: To remove the space before the colon you have to remove the prefix=" " that is somewhere at the beginning of all the different item types e.g. as in
    <else-if type="book graphic" match="any">
    <group prefix=" " delimiter=". " suffix=".">
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^
    Bc of the way the style is coded you'll have to do that at about half a dozen different spots.
  • Hello Adam

    Thank you very much for your help! It did the trick. I have only corrected the prefix in the place I needed to do it, I figure that it will be better to correct the rest when I need it, so I don't screw it up now :-)
