RIS importing problem

tshort
Using the new IEEE Xplore input filter (great addition!), Zotero (1.0.0b3.r1) grabs bibliography data from an Endnote file (.RIS). For a conference paper, the item is misclassified as a book, and the conference title is missing. Here is an example RIS file for a conference paper:

    After some followup with the Scaffold plugin (great help!), it appears the RIS importer doesn't support conference papers yet. I've sort-of added it with the following changes:


    // TODO: figure out if these are the best types for letter, interview, webpage
    var typeMap = {
    book:"BOOK",
    bookSection:"CHAP",
    conferencePaper:"CONF", //// added
    journalArticle:"JOUR",
    magazineArticle:"MGZN",
    newspaperArticle:"NEWS",
    thesis:"THES",
    letter:"PCOMM",
    manuscript:"PAMP",
    interview:"PCOMM",
    film:"MPCT",
    artwork:"ART",
    webpage:"ELEC"
    };

    // supplements outputTypeMap for importing
    // TODO: BILL, CASE, COMP, CONF, DATA, HEAR, MUSIC, PAT, SOUND, STAT
    var inputTypeMap = {
    ABST:"journalArticle",
    ADVS:"film",
    CONF:"conferencePaper", //// added
    CTLG:"magazineArticle",
    GEN:"book",
    INPR:"manuscript",
    JFULL:"journalArticle",
    MAP:"artwork",
    PAMP:"manuscript",
    RPRT:"book",
    SER:"book",
    SLIDE:"artwork",
    UNBILL:"manuscript",
    VIDEO:"film"
    };

    ....

    function completeItem(item) {
    // if backup publication title exists but not proper, use backup
    // (hack to get newspaper titles from EndNote)
    if(item.backupPublicationTitle) {
    if(!item.publicationTitle) {
    item.publicationTitle = item.backupPublicationTitle;
    }
    item.backupPublicationTitle = undefined;
    }
    if(item.itemType == "conferencePaper") { //// these three lines added
    item.conferenceName = item.publicationTitle;
    }
    item.complete();
    }

    Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. We have added conference paper support to our RIS translator, and your Zotero client will update automatically within 24 hours. If you would like to try the new translator immediately, go to Zotero preferences (under the gear icon) and click "Update now." Thanks again!

    Hi,

    TI (Book Title) does not get imported for Item Type ("Book Section").
