Upgrade StorageHelp with page citation (author:date) suffix and conditionality
Hello All,
I hope I can make my request clear and thanks in advance for any assistance. I am new to the forum and cls, have tried for awhile to solve this, but I am not getting anywhere. Style and my first language is german, if this helps ;)
The problem concerns the conditionalities of displaying author date in text citations. In line citation should look like the following: (Author 2000: 320). Two conditions should be met, first to replace author and date with ibid, which my style is doing fine. The second condition is to display the page locator as follows:
Referring to a single page: 320
Referring to exactly two pages: 320f.
Referring to three or more pages: 320ff.
I looked at other topics concerning p. and pp. use, but it didn't help. if anyone could look at this style, I would appreciate it alot!

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Before commenting here, you should strongly consider starting a new discussion instead. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
If you really want to, you can just include them with the locators in the word processor add-on.
That said, f. and, especially, ff. are discouraged by most (all?) major style guides (including in Germany -- see e.g. the IfP Bremen style linked to from your CSL), so if you have any influence on the style you're using, I'd suggest doing away with them.
I actually experience that it is not that uncommon at all. Maybe for larger publishers or papers, but on the level of university institutes or even dissertations, I experience a lot of people asking for that style specifically. In this case, there is no style guide. Maybe we will try contracting number ranges like 320-31, I personally find this appealing. Is that possible with the above linked style? Because it says here that the page range format has been introduced with CSL 1.0.1.
