Upgrade StorageCustomised/extended export formats?
Hi
I've just discovered Zotero -- it is very wonderful!
The developer documentation points to a framework for developing customised bibliography export formats (exported via "create bibliography for selected item"). But is it possible to extend the actual catalogue export formats ("export selected item")? Let's say I want to export to a MODS record, but I want to export the Extra field as well (or preferably add another XML element with a different namespace). How feasible is this?
My use-case isn't typical -- it involves creating a database of examples of new language usage found online. So I'm trying to find a way of exporting an XML catalogue entry for the web page containing the term to capture its biblio info (Zotero does a wonderful job of this). But I also need somewhere to put a short textual extract of the online source and I'd need to export that as well.
How easily could this be done if at all?

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Instead of commenting here, you should start a new discussion. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
However, someone would need to modify the code for the current exporter (in scrapers.sql).Zotero can already export attached notes in the MODS record & perhaps those would be a good place to put your excerpts for now?
