Hi all,

First of all thanks to the makers of Zotero - it is a great tool!
I am working on the citation style for my university right now and this is what I want to achieve:
In case someone is citing an internet-source with an unknown author, the citation should look like this:

blabla
(o.A. 2009)
whereby o.A. means "ohne Angabe" => not stated

The Bibliography for this case should look like this:

(o.A. 2009): titleofwebsite etc. url etc.

Unfortunately It doesnt work out - meaning i can't get the "o.A." part to be displayed.

This is what my code looks right now:

To reach the goal I defined an anon - macro which looks like this:
- - - - - - - - - -
<macro name="anon">
<text value="o. A."/>
</macro>
- - - - - - - - - -

The Author-short macro should substitute this in case there is no author:

This is my code for the author and the author-short macro:
- - - - - - - - - - - -- -
<macro name="author">
<names variable="author" delimiter="; ">
<name name-as-sort-order="all" sort-separator=", " delimiter="; "
delimiter-precedes-last="always" form="long"/>
<label form="short" prefix=" (" suffix=".)"/>
<substitute>
<text macro="editor"/>
<text macro="anon"/>
</substitute>
</names>
</macro>
<macro name="author-short">
<names variable="author" delimiter="; ">
<name form="short" delimiter="; " initialize-with=". " delimiter-precedes-last="always" sort-separator=","/>
<substitute>
<names variable="editor"/>
<!-- <names variable="translator"/> -->
<text macro="anon"/>
</substitute>
</names>
</macro>

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - -

The layout code for the citation looks like this:
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
<layout prefix="(" suffix=")" delimiter="; ">
<group delimiter=" ">
<text macro="author-short"/>
<text macro="year-date"/>
</group>
<!-- <group> -->
<text variable="locator" prefix=", S. "/>
<!-- </group> -->
</layout>
- - - - - - - -- -- --

The code for the bibliography looks like this:
- - - - - -- - - - - - - - - -- - - - - -
<bibliography>
<option name="hanging-indent" value="true"/>
<option name="et-al-min" value="4"/>
<option name="et-al-use-first" value="1"/>
<sort>
<key macro="author"/>
<key variable="title"/>
</sort>
<layout suffix=".">
<group delimiter=" ">
<text macro="author" delimiter="; "/>
<text macro="anon"/>
<text macro="year-date" prefix="(" suffix="):"/>
<text macro="title"/>
<text macro="container-prefix"/>
<text macro="editor"/>
<text variable="container-title" font-style="normal" suffix="."/>
<text macro="edition"/>
<text macro="publisher"/>
<text macro="locator"/>
<text macro="published-date"/>
<text macro="access"/>
<group delimiter=", ">
<group delimiter=", " prefix="(= " suffix=")">
<text variable="collection-title"/>
<!-- <text variable="volume" suffix=" Bd. "/> -->
</group>
</group>
</group>
</layout>
</bibliography>
- - - - - -- - - - - - - -- - - - ----- - - -

Where is the Problem? What can I do to fix this?

Your help is appreciated!
