Issues to modify a zotero style

Rugge127
Hey there,

I have issues to modify a Zotero style, namely the "ENS de Lyon centre d'ingenierie documentaire". you can find it here: https://www.zotero.org/styles?q=ENS

A. Smith, Title(italic), Oxford, Oxford University Press, 1989
B. Cheng, « Title », Review of International Political Economy, 20/2, s. d., p. 201-298

I need to have the family name of the author in little capitals (for books articles etc) and the complete name:
Alice SMITH
Bruce CHENG
I am looking at some tutorials and i opened the style on TextWrangler to see a bit what i can do, I made some modifications (on: et al, etc) but did not find any way to modify this.

Any idea ?
thank you!

    They style already prints last names in small-caps, that's the line
    <name-part name="family" font-variant="small-caps"/>
    are you sure that's not working? If so, which version of Zotero and you are you generating the citations/bibliography?

    To get the full first name, simply delete initialize-with="." from this and similar lines:

    <name form="long" and="text" delimiter-precedes-last="never" sort-separator=" " initialize-with="."><name-part name="family" font-variant="small-caps"/>

    Hello,
    sorry for my late reply, thanks for yours. I downloaded a new style, and now it does. But I'll have to modify this style a bit to make it fit what I want.

    Hello,
    I also use this style of quotation and wanted to edit it the same way (full name of authors ; and also replacing op cit with art cit when quoting a review article). I suppressed the "initialize-with="."" part, then I updated one of my sheet. And it worked.

    Thing is, it works only for a while. The style sheet then goes back to what it used to be, as if there had been some synchronization, but cancelling the changes i've made.

    Does anyone have the same problem?

    Great, thanks for your answer!
    Could modify the art. cit. / op. cit. issue without problem using CSL editor also.
