Diffrent appearance of the same citation style

rrapljen
I use the c.s. DIN 1505-2(author-date, Germany) in all preference settings (word plug-in, firefox plug-in).

When I drag-n-drop a Title of my Zotero-Firefox plugin to a footnote then I get the desired result:
SUNY, RONALD GRIGOR: The making of the Georgian nation. Bloomington : Indiana University Press, 1994.

*But* when I use the Word-Plugin for Zotero then I get a diffrent citation:
(SUNY, 1994)

I have set in both plugins the same style DIN 1505-2(author-date, Germany).

Please help! :)

    If you want to add a bibliography to a Word document, click the Insert Bibliography button. You're inserting a reference (which you still need to do in order for it to appear in a bibliography).

    I dont want to add a bibliography. I want to add a citation in a footnote, but in the *long* style how I mentioned it in my first post. In the preview on the homepage where I can download the styles the style DIN 1505-2(author-date, Germany) is previewed in the long version. If I copy the citation in the firefox plugin and insert it with "paste" in word its again the long version. The DIN 1505-2 style could not be (author,year)... or am I wrong?? But wikipedia says also that DIN 1505-2 knows *only* the long style of citation.

    Or am I really inserting a reference, but why the preview on the homepage shows only the long version?

    Thank you aurimas! Please help!!

    The preview on the webpage is only for the bibliography. That's not ideal, but for most styles that's what matters.

    DIN 1505-2 comes with all forms of in-text citations (Zotero has three different versions available), the Wikipedia article isn't particularly clear on that. There is no version available for Zotero that adds the long form of the citation in a footnote, sorry. You're probably best of looking at other styles. Search for "German" and restrict the search results to notes, that'll give you 20 styles to look at.
