Show URL when available

SimonSt
Hi,

I'm using a slightly modified version of this style:
http://www.zotero.org/styles/harvard-institut-fur-praxisforschung-de

Now I have some books and other types of documents in my zotero database which are also available online. I entered the URL in the related field but it is not shown when I insert the bibliography in Libre Office. How can I change that or what do I have to change in the style?

Thanks,

Simon

    Zotero ignores the URL for items that have a page range by default. If you want to show URLs for those items, check the "include URL" box under Cite-->Styles in the Zotero preferences.

    Hi Adam,

    I already tried that but it doesn't change anything:

    In the Institut für Praxisforschung style, URLs are only printed for the Webpage item type. If you want to show them for all item types, delete
    lines 68-69
    https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/blob/master/harvard-institut-fur-praxisforschung-de.csl#L68
    and lines 83-84
    https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/blob/master/harvard-institut-fur-praxisforschung-de.csl#L83
    in the style (or the corresponding lines in your customized style.

    It's working, thanks!

    But this leads me to a new question: Why is the "," before the "Abgerufen am" missing in some cases?

    Example: http://img443.imageshack.us/img443/3235/o68k.png

    Both sources are books.

    Would it be possible, to insert a line break before the "Abgerufen am"?

    Thanks!

    I'd have to see your modified style, put it onto a public gist at gist.github.com
    Best I can tell, with the style as is I wouldn't expect a comma for either.

    You should be able to insert a line break by using
    <text macro="access" display="blocks"/>
    this will only work with the Word plugin, not with Bibliographies copied to the clipboard from Zotero, but that seems to be what you're using anyway.

    Thanks for the support!

    Hi Adam,

    did you already had a look at my modified style? I'm a little bit confused where I should insert the code you mentioned.

    Thanks,

    Simon

    I don't see where the comma is coming from. Make sure you're also getting that in the test pane,
    chrome://zotero/content/tools/csledit.xul
    if you do, look at the item data itself, chance there's something odd there.

    The macro="access" line should just replace the current l. 232.
  • SimonSt
    Hi Adam,

    I changed line 232 without any effect. The comma only appears, when a book belongs to a "Reihe" (I don't know the english word, sorry). If there is no "Reihe" but an URL available Zotero adds nothing between publisher name and URL what also looks strange:

    I think a line break would be the best solution here.

    Thanks,

    <text macro="access" display="block"/>
    should be outside of all groups, i.e. move it three lines down so it's between </group> and </layout>
  • SimonSt
    When I move it there and click on "refresh" I only get the error message "curr is undefined"
  • adamsmith
    definitely works. If it doesn't, I need to see your version of the style.

    display="block" not display="blocks"
    (you can validate styles here: http://simonster.github.io/csl-validator.js/ )
  • SimonSt
    It's working and even the missing "." after the publisher is visible now, thanks!
    One last thing: Sometimes there is another line break added at the end of an entry, after the URL or the doi number for example. How can I stop Zotero from doing that?

    not easily - that's an effect of how display="block" works.
    You can try removing display="block" on the access macro (but leaving it in the current place between </group> and </layout>) and setting it on the group that contains the entirely bibliography

    Hi,

    I have the same problem as SimonSt back in 2013. I'm using the "Institut für Praxisforschung - Harvard (Bahr & Frackmann) (Deutsch)" Stile but when I delete the mentioned lines I get an error. Should I still delete the lines 68-69 and 83-84 or did they change over Time. Those are the Lines 66 - 87 in my version.

    <macro name="access">
    <choose>
    <if variable="DOI">
    <text variable="DOI" prefix="doi: "/>
    </if>
    <else-if type="webpage post post-weblog" match="any">
    <group delimiter=" ">
    <text term="online" prefix="[" suffix="]"/>
    <text variable="URL"/>
    <date variable="accessed" prefix="[" suffix="]">
    <date-part name="day" form="numeric-leading-zeros" suffix="."/>
    <date-part name="month" form="numeric-leading-zeros" suffix="."/>
    <date-part name="year" form="long"/>
    </date>
    </group>
    </else-if>
    </choose>
    </macro>
    <macro name="title">
    <choose>
    <if type="bill book graphic legal_case legislation motion_picture report song" match="any">
    <text variable="title" font-style="italic"/>


    Thanks for your help,

    Kim
