Upgrade StorageCitations one pesky document and one Video entry
I am using Standalone and Safari.
Please explain how to get Zotero to pull in the name of an author (that is clearly entered into Zotero) instead of using "Anon"? e.g. Brinkerhoff, 2008. I have already deleted the record from Zotero and re-entered it, but the problem persists as although the full record is visible in the system, Zotero replaces "Brinkerhoff" with "Anon". I'd appreciate some suggestions.
Similarly, what information does Zotero pull into Word for the citation when the record is of a video recording? It did not pull in the name of the "Contributor". To test the system, I also entered letters into Format, Series Title, Volume, # of Volumes, Place and Studio yet Zotero did not include any of those.
"Director" is not listed. Although I see "Contributor", Abstract, Format, Series Title, Volume, # of Volumes, Place, Studio, Date, etc, but no Director.
Thank you in advance for your help.

You can select "Director" by clicking on "Contributor" and selecting from the list that opens. That's generally how you change creator types in Zotero. all of those are passed on to the citation style by Zotero, but which are printed depends on the style. Which are you using?
1. Brinkerhoff is the author of a document. She was down as "Contributor" for some reason, but I've changed her to Author. Unfortunately, the problem persists as Zotero jumps to the next instance of where "Brinkerhoff" is mentioned in the text and give the same message.
2. On a separate matter is the video.
Excellent!!!!! Thank you. I see where I can select "Director" - if only I knew who the Director is. I know which organisation posted the YouTube video. Is that as close as I'm going to get? Or do you have another suggestion?
Regards,
First. I choose the author and in the page number section I enter : then the page number, BUT when it appears in my Word document it looks like this:
(Duhaime, Chabot & Gaudreault, 2002, p.: 2)
So, in Word, I delete ', p.' leaving (Duhaime, Chabot & Gaudreault, 2002: 2)
Is it true that with 500 entries I am not hitting not my capacity?
If you need a modified citation style, you really should modify the citation style:
http://www.zotero.org/support/dev/citation_styles/style_editing_step-by-step
There's no limit on number of citations in a document, though larger documents will slow down, so for normal editing I'd recommend splitting book-length pieces up into chapters.

Bibliography
Kuznetsov, Y. (2010) Talent Abroad Promoting Growth and Institutional Development at Home: Skilled Diaspora as Part of the Country [online]. [Accessed 24 January 2014].
I have deleted p and . and added the page number. However, all that I need to do now to have what I'm looking for which is (Kuznetsov, 2010: 24) is to delete the final , and the space before the :. I just can't find how to do that from your code.
I am so proud that I've got this far as I've never played with code before.
Please confirm that anything I add in a Prefix in the citation i.e. James, R. L. (2002) in will not be lost as I did so in Zotero and not in Word.
Looking forward to hearing back.

"Please confirm that anything I add in a Prefix in the citation i.e. James, R. L. (2002) in will not be lost as I did so in Zotero and not in Word."
correct.
However, all that I need to do now to have what I'm looking for which is (Kuznetsov, 2010: 24) is to delete the final , and the space before the :. I just can't find how to do that from your code.
However, out of that script, which is the "," (comma) and which is the " " (space)?
When I deleted the ",: it deleted the , between Kuznetsov and 2010 i.e. (Kuznetsov, 2010) not the comma after 2010. I want to get rid of the LAST comma, not the first.
I validated it.
Now how do I get it to work? Do I need to download it onto my computer or is this change automatically incorporated into Zotero for me?
I refreshed Zotero then attempted to use it to see the change, but this is what I got
I did not include : because I thought it was supposed to be incorporated automatically.
(Condon, Collings & Wenzel, 1995, p.888)
(Judge & De Plaen, 2011, p.255)
Below, I typed in : then the page number
(Duhaime, Chabot & Gaudreault, 2002, p.: 255)
What am I not doing correctly?
http://www.zotero.org/support/dev/citation_styles/style_editing_step-by-step#change_the_style_title_and_id
That includes a section on installing the style in Zotero - but start where that link starts by changing title and id.
I thought I had done it, but when I tried to install it I received the following message:
"LJ citation change.csl" is not a valid style file.
What did I do wrong?
2. While still in Zotero I clicked on "Save" which asked for a name. I used "LJ citation change" and added csl at the end.
3. Zotero asked me where to save it to. I chose the desktop.
4. I then went to Zotero Preferences and clicked on Preferences then chose "+"
5. I found the file "LJ citation change.csl"and then the system said it was not valid.
Reading this
Zotero Standalone
Save the style with a ”.csl” file extension (you can generally do this by simply typing ”.csl” after the name of your file). Then, go to the "Cite" tab in the Zotero preferences. Click on the + sign below the list of installed styles. In the file selection dialogue that opens, navigate to the .csl file you just created and open it. This will install your new style.
Working from within the Zotero Reference Pane window (where I can see code), I look at Zotero and see
Zotero File Edit Window
I click on File and Save which brings up a window from my computer that says Save As: and in the window is already "csledit.xul".
I change "csledit.xul" to "citation change.csl".
Below, my laptop says Format: XML-Based User Interface Language
I click on Save and it saves to my Desktop.
The screen takes me to Zotero Reference Test pane.
So, that's not correct.
Instead. I go to TextWrangler where I am given a blank page.
I cut and paste the entire code from the Zotero Reference Test page.
I save it as Citation change.csl onto my Desktop.
I then go into Zotero under Preferences - Styles and click the "+" and find "Citation change.csl" which I just set up.
The system replaces the original Harvard system with the new Citation change.
I went into a Word document and chose a reference to cite.
The change has not been incorporated as this is what I got:
(Chikezie & Daramy, 2007, p.29)
and not ...., 2007: 29)
The instructions stop here.
Zotero Standalone
Save the style with a ”.csl” file extension (you can generally do this by simply typing ”.csl” after the name of your file). Then, go to the "Cite" tab in the Zotero preferences. Click on the + sign below the list of installed styles. In the file selection dialogue that opens, navigate to the .csl file you just created and open it. This will install your new style.
What did I do wrong?
Do I need to turn the system off and restart to it can take the update into consideration?
You can probably see the changes when you switch to a different style and back in Word. But: It also sounds like you didn't change the style ID, which means that your style will get overwritten on automatic updates. You should really do that as per the instructions - you'll then have separate styles fro your custom version and the Harvard West of England - Bristol style listed as options.
HUGE thank you. I was struggling as to whether I should enter
<title>Harvard Style Modified</title>
<id>http://www.zotero.org/styles/harvard-modified</id>;
and change it to
<title>Harvard Style LJ Modified1 </title>
<id>http://www.zotero.org/styles/harvard-LJ-modified-1</id>;
Was totally confused about whether I needed to do the http line - the last line and how to go about to do that.
Anyway, I don't need to now so A HUGE THANK YOU. I hope I will never need to play around with code again.
(Just so you know, I've convinced myself that I DO code now.... thanks to this... Hilarious really. Literally rolling on the floor laughing at myself.
Thank you for all your help and patience.
I imagine that I now have to go through all my citations in Word and delete every instance where I had entered page numbers (: page number) and deleted what the system produced only to replace it with : and the page number. Or is that no necessary?
You have modified this citation since Zotero generated it. Do you want to keep your modifications and prevent future updates?
Clicking "Yes" will prevent Zotero from updating this citation if you add additional citations, with styles, or modify the item to which it refers. Clicking "NO will erase your changes.
After I changed to Vancover then back to my standard style this is the message I got:
You have modified this citation since Zotero generated it. Editing will clear your modifications. Do you want to continue.
Cancel or OK
I imagine I have to click on "edit citation".
I'm afraid to say that I will need help with code again, but this time in the bibliography as I need to have 3(1): 35-36 and not pp.
In the Bibliography, I need to delete pp. pp. (below) and replace it with :
Vidich, A.J. & Lyman, S.M. (2000) Qualitative Methods: Their History in Sociology and Anthropology. In: Handbook of Qualitative Research. 2nd edition. Thousands Oaks, CA: SAGE Publications. pp. pp. 37–84.
and pp. with : as below
Onwuegbuzie, A.J. & Leech, N.L. (2004) Enhancing the Interpretation of ‘Significant’ Findings: The Role of Mixed Methods Research [online]. The Qualitative Report. 9 (4), pp. 770–792.
So I would have
.... The Qualitative Report. 9(4): 770-792. No space between 9 and (4)
I have found what might be the code but am stuck now. Any suggestions of where to find "pp" in the code below.

However, in the box below nothing has changed as it still looks like this after I refreshed. I assumed the pp would disappear and be replaced by :

<macro name="pages">
find the line containing <label variable... in that and delete it.
Then find the line you have above:
<text variable="issue" prefix=" (" suffix="), "/>
and remove the , " in the suffix.
Finally, add prefix=": " to the <text macro="pages"/> line a little below that.
I went to an earlier chapter and learnt that the update does not work as I still get:
(Denzin and Lincoln, 2005, p. 222)
and not
(Denzin and Lincoln, 2005: 222)
I have chosen another style then changed back to Harvard. How can I check that the change I made to the style will work on this chapter also?
