Copy Attachment URL to item URL field

benjamin.hitz
I need to copy the attachment URL to the item's URL field, since CSL styles cannot access the URL of the attachment directly. I used to do this with a javascript that I run in the Zotero pane in firefox. Is there a simple solution to this problem for Zotero standalone?

    Nothing as simple as the local javascript, unfortunately. If you're synced to the Zotero server (data syncing is enough), using the server API, probably with pyzotero is an option:

    My understanding is that a way to make Zotero functionality accessible from the commandline is planned, but no idea when that's actually going to happen.

    Thanks for the advice. I did use the server API, which turned out to be fairly simple. I didn't go into python (which would be new to me), but used a PHP script I can now run periodically using a cronjob.
