Format citation in footers

Simfibo

Hello,
I am using the style Hochschule der Median Stuttgart (German). It allows for putting references into the footer. The format is: Author (Year)
I need to further specify by adding page numbers, e.g. book pages, each time I use the reference:
citation 1= Author XY, S. 4-5 (2007)
citation 2= Author XY, S. 32ff (2007)
So Zotero would create a separate citation into the footer. In the bibliography it should be only one (e.g. only the entire book).
When I use the "insert citation" in Word, and select a reference, I can right-click on the selected reference an add additional information. However, the page numbers I enter do not show in the footer.
Does anybody knows how to do it? Please keep in mind that I am not a csl expert.

Best

That particular style doesn't define a page number for footnotes. That looks like an error to me, but not sure.

The quick version of how to fix that is that you need to take
<text macro="point-locators-subsequent" prefix=", "/>

and copy (not move) it to a couple of lines down, right below
<text macro="author-short"/>

sorry, have to run, so that's all the detail I have time for right now.

Seems like important information is "masked"? Hope you can still give to me this information.

The quick version of how to fix that is that you need to take
WHAT?
and copy (not move) it to a couple of lines down, right below
WHERE?

Thanks

Grand, comprehensive solution.
Meanwhile also found another solution by AdamSmith:
<label variable="locator" form="short" include-period="true" text-case="capitalize-first" prefix=", " suffix=""/>
<text variable="locator"/>

Either solution to be put into the citation section.

Thanks to AdamSmith!
