Upgrade StorageStyle Error: deutsche-gesellschaft-fur-psychologie
There is a small error in the DGPs-Style ( http://www.zotero.org/styles/deutsche-gesellschaft-fur-psychologie ).
If there are more than 6 authors, the first 6 should be listed followed by "et al.". Currently zotero inserts a "," before the "et al.", but there should be none (cf. DGPs-Manual, p. 93).
Correct example:
Klieme, E., Avenarius, H., Blum, W., Döbrich, P., Gruber, H., Prenzel, M. et al. (2003). Zur Entwicklung nationaler Bildungsstandards. Eine Expertise. Bonn: BMBF.
Momentary zotero-output:

The updated version will appear on the repository within 30mins (check the timestamp). Update your copy of the style by clicking "Update Now" in the General tab of the Zotero preferences.
Styles also update automatically within 24hs for Zotero 4.0+
In an existing document, you may have to switch to a different style and back for the changes to take effect once the style is updated.
Any further problems please let us know & thanks for reporting
The DGPs-Manual has no instructions for DOI but it is based on the APA style. According to the APA style there should be no "." after the DOI (cf. American Psychological Association, 2009, p. 198). However, whenever using the DGPs style the DOI is followed by a "."

Instead of [Stand: 15.12.2012] after the URL the DGPs prescribes the use of "Zugriff am 15.12.2012." before the URL. However, there are certain variations that I find rather confusing. The biggest one is that for English sources they require the user to use the APA denomination of "Retrieved, December 15, 2012,"
I think the best and most consistent format (with DGPs) would be:

It is another matter at the Zeitschrift für Erziehungswissenschaft who prescribe the following format (cf. http://www.zfe-online.de/images/ZfE_Manuskripthinweise_2014.pdf ):
"Beispiel für ein Internet

Here we even have a point directly after the URL which I consider bad practice. Try their link reference and you will notice that the point at the end breaks the link.
Is there a way to ensure that there is a point behind the retrieval date but not after the URL (or DOI) if the retrieval date is missing? This appears relevant for the Zeitschrift für Pädagogik style.
It seems that for the DGP style the point after the DOI, URL, URN etc. will have to be removed. Given that the retrieval date is pulled before the URL or DOI no two conflicting scenarios seem possible (i.e. point vs. no point).
@adamsmith, @rmzelle: Any advice on this issue? I try to summarize it for you: The style for the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Psychologie (~APA adapted for German) seems not very specific about some things, e.g. rendering URL and access date:
Variante 1: Verfügbar unter: www.mpifg.de/pu/mpifg_dp/dp09-5.pdf [Stand: 15.12.2012].
Variante 2: Zugriff am 15.12.2012. Verfügbar unter: http://www.mpifg.de/pu/mpifg_dp/dp09-5.pdf
No. 1 is now implemented in the DGfP style, and it seems to be the one for the journal "Pädagogik" and for the "Fachbereichs-Studienführer Pädagogische Psychologie und Didaktik".
No. 2 was initially implemented in the DGfP style, it is one of the example in the official documentation of the DGfP and it is also implemented in Citavi in this way.
Edit: so to your question: yes, that's OK.
zuphilip, I will kindly remind you about the ZfE style (if need should arise). Please post a message when the ZfPäd style is alive. If I should notice any other deviations from the DGP style than electronic references, I'll let you know.
