Chicago TV Broadcast citation missing director

cberrigan
Hello! I have a citation using Chicago note for a TV Broadcast in which I have input the director in the Zotero entry. However, the name of the director does not appear either in the footnote (note) citation, nor in the bibliography at the end. Is this an error? Thanks!

    Likely, yes. @dunning is currently working on a complete Chicago Manual revision for the 18th edition, we'll check that it works in there (this used to work, Zotero's behavior changed slightly and now distinguishes between authors and directors, which is why this is now broken)
  • cberrigan
    Thanks for the explanation. Do you have any expected date by which the revision will be rolled out?
  • dunning
    Yes, I have added support for directors throughout the Chicago styles for the 18th edition (it had only been added to author–date). You can test the files here:

    Thank you. However, I looked through the repository and do not see which file to pull and how to load into Zotero. All the Chicago csl files look to be a minimum of 9mo old. Would you please be able to give me more explicit instructions?

    @dunning @adamsmith would you have any information about when the 18th edition revision might be available? I also was unable to find a way through the Git repository to acquire any test files. I have some familiarity with GitHub but I couldn't find any recently updated CSL files available for Chicago. Thanks so much!

    We'll want to spend a little time testing these. To get the files, click on the link above, then files changed, view file for the one you want to install, and click on the "Raw" Lin at the top to install
