Dear Form Members,

I am using Zotero to export my .bib file. It so happens that I would like to cite websites. I would like the URL and the access date of the website to be displayed in my bibliography. I do reference the Zotero item as "website". The URL is displayed. The access date ist not.

This forum discussion [1] has led me to this webpage [2]. This webpage suggests to use the javascript below.

[2] https://retorque.re/zotero-better-bibtex/exporting/scripting/

if (Translator.BetterBibTeX && item.itemType === 'webpage') {
if (item.accessDate) {
reference.add({ name: 'note', value: "(accessed " + item.accessDate + ")" });
}
if (item.url) {
reference.add({ name: 'howpublished', bibtex: "{\\url{" + reference.enc_verbatim({value: item.url}) + "}}" });
}
}

This does work as far as it does display the access date in some form. To be exact as: "accessed 2020-03-12T13:11:07Z".

Surprisingly the .bib file still does not contain the information of the access date. How can this be?

Moreover I would like to change accessed to "Zuletzt geprüft". This is difficult because it has a German character ü in it, which the javascript code does not accept. Does anybody know how to work around this?

Last but not least I would like to get rid of the "T13:11:07Z" in "accessed 2020-03-12T13:11:07Z". I cannot figure out where this comes form. Ideally I would also like to change 2020-03-12 into 12.03.2020.

I hope someone can help at least with some of those issues.

Thanks in advance!

Timon
