Date accessed in modified Chicago. Different results from VE and Zotero

DamianEvans
Hello,

I am using a very slightly modified Chicago style sheet. In the visual CSL editor the date accessed for a website appears, however it doesn't using Zotero or zotero reference test pane.

I've pasted all relevant information here: http://pastebin.com/C7M1FK0H

including csl file, examples from the visual csl editor and zotero, and the zotero item itself in zotero rtf format.

any help appreciated.

    Zotero by default has the "include URL" checkbox under Cite--> Styles in the preferences unchecked, the VE behaves assuming it's checked.
    Without the box checked, Zotero omits URLs when there is a page range.

    That's odd Adam, I checked my zotero preferences (standalone) and "include URL" is checked - the URL is included though, it is the 'date accessed' that is absent is the zotero reference test pane, and also in my compiled scrivener/ LO file.

    Any idea's? Thanks again.

    sorry, I didn't look at the style when you posted - that's a bug in the visual editor then - we only print accessed dates in Chicago Manual when there is no actual date (that's in line with CMoS rules). You left that test (<if variable="issued" match="none">)in the style, see lines 929 (notes) and 961 (bibliography) in your style on pastebin.

    I'll check that out, thanks!
