Upgrade Storagebugs when citing multiple works by the same author
Using Zotero 1.0.3 with the OpenOffice plugin and Chicago Manual of Style author-date format, I've encountered several bugs when citing multiple works by the same author.
Given the following three items (two books and a book chapter):
Bourdieu, Pierre. 1984. Distinction: A Social Critique of the Judgement of Taste. Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press.
Bourdieu, Pierre. 1987. Choses dites. Paris: Les Éditions de Minuit.
Bourdieu, Pierre. 1987. Legitimation and Structured Interests in Weber's Sociology of Religion. In Max Weber, Rationality and Modernity, Ed. Scott Lash and Sam Whimster, 119-136, London: Allen & Unwin.
Bug 1:
I create a citation with two sources, citing page 100 in "Distinction", and page 200 in "Choses dites". Result:
(Bourdieu 1984, 1987, 100)
That can’t be right. The page number for "Choses dites" is missing, and you can’t tell which work page 100 is referring to. I think it should be:
(Bourdieu 1984, 100; 1987, 200)
Bug 2:
If I cite both "Choses dites" and "Legitimation and Structured Interests" in the same document, I get:
(Bourdieu 1987)
(Bourdieu 1987)
It should clearly be:
(Bourdieu 1987a)
(Bourdieu 1987b)
Bug 3:
Having cited all three works, I generate the bibliography, and I get:
Bourdieu, Pierre. 1987. Choses dites. Paris: Les Éditions de Minuit.
Bourdieu, Pierre. 1984. Distinction: A Social Critique of the Judgement of Taste. Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press.
Bourdieu, Pierre. 1987. Legitimation and Structured Interests in Weber's Sociology of Religion. In Max Weber, Rationality and Modernity, Ed. Scott Lash and Sam Whimster, 119-136, London: Allen & Unwin.
There are two problems here. First, the works should be arranged in chronological order. Second, the author’s name should be replaced by a long dash after the first occurrence.

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.
Not sure about the Harvard format, but bugs should be fixed there also.
Fuster (1987, 1998, 2002) suggested that . . .
But Insert Citation doesn't allow "multiple sources" and "suppress author" to be selected together. My workaround has been to use "view editor" and manually remove the author. Still, this is a "legal" way to cite references in APA style and should be supported.
And, yeah, I agree with ByteRider: 1.04 with Openoffice is way faster than the older versions (just in time, I might add: I'm doing the final clean up of my on my dissertation's long bibliography and I'm breezing through it with the current version). Thanks!
