No "Accessed" Field Output in Chicago Manual
I'm not getting any "accessed" field out put for CMS style for bib or notes. I get a url, but no date of access. Is there a way to enable this feature? Thx, Mark
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.
if you want to add it, you'll need to change the CMS style
for that, go to:
chrome://zotero/content/tools/csledit.xul
and select a citation that has an access date. The crucial component in the csl that you'll need to change is the access macro, which, in CMS with full notes looks like this:
<macro name="access">
<group delimiter=". ">
<choose>
<if type="graphic report" match="any">
<text macro="archive"/>
</if>
<else-if type="book thesis chapter article-journal article-newspaper article-magazine" match="none">
<text macro="archive"/>
</else-if>
</choose>
<text variable="URL"/>
</group>
</macro>
you can compare this with a style that does have date (e.g. APSA, ASA) and try to play around. If you get it done, follow the instructions here to to include the style in Zotero:

I currently don't have the time to write you the exact fix, but maybe you'll find someone else here who is willing - but I encourage you to try yourself, it actually can be fun.
