Modify Chicago Manual of Style 16th edition (author-date) to use Colon as prefix before pages

Adam_Bathe
Hello I am looking for a modified Chicago Manual of Style 16th edition (author-date) to use colon as prefix before pages:

For a direct quotation, cite author, year, colon, and page number(s); e.g., (Krebs 1989:216) or (John Doe in Simpson 2002:23-24).

I've tried playing with the CSL editor but keep getting the message that the resulting file is invalid. Can someone point the the fields I need to change or show me where I can find a CSL that matches this format?

Thank you!

    how closely does this have to match Chicago? Try American Sociological Association if you just need something reasonably close.

    That works for replacing the comma with a colon but the result of the above example is:

    (John Doe inSimpson 2002:23-24)

    And et al. isn't italicized.

    it looks like this is moot now, correct?

    Looking for a way to close the discussion.
