Recovering Citation Style from Zoreo Stand alone

nvilloria

I have a customized citation style that is in Zotero Standalone. (I lost the citation style file). Can I recover the .csl file from Zotero standalone so I can install it on Zotero Firefox?

Thanks,

Nelson

the style is in the "styles" folder in Zotero Standalone's data directory:
http://www.zotero.org/support/zotero_data

That said, if you're using Zotero Standalone and for FIrefox on the same computer, they should share the data directory and thus all installed citation styles.

Thanks a lot, Adam Smith. The Admin. here upgraded to Win 8 without uninstalling Zotero Standalone. When I reinstalled the Firefox Plugin, it created a new data directory, so, in practice they are disconnected. (I do not remember Firefox asking me for using the existing data directory.)

This was a good thing because I could recover my style file. Now I would like to have them sharing the same data directory. Would changing the profile directory of Zot. Standalone to the one used by Zotero Firefox fix the issue?

Thank you!

yes, that's exactly what you want to do.
