Version 3.0a1.r8887 bug

joanne_liu · April 1, 2011

First, many thanks for Simon in prompt response.
This new version fixs the bug of multiple authors. But it has another bug for multiple authors. If there are more than four authors, it appears in word article as follows:
(CheungW. M., P. C. & J. X., , and , P. G.). But in the add-on message box, it shows in creator column like "CheungW et al.". It seems not to synchronise with each other.

Could you kindly solve this problem? Thanks~

First of all, you probably don't want to be running 3.0a1.r8887. Zotero 2.1.3 contains all of the fixes in that build, and the trunk is likely to become unstable very soon. Go to zotero.org and install Zotero 2.1.3 and the associated word processor plugins.

Second, I'm not quite sure I'm understanding. Do you mean the creator column in the list view? That column is limited to two authors regardless of style so as not to consume too much space, and has nothing to do with what gets inserted into the document. If there is a discrepancy in the box that appears after clicking "Show Editor", that's something we need to fix.

(CheungW. M., P. C. & J. X., , and , P. G.)

This output doesn't look right, for sure. The mix of "&" and "and" suggests that one or more of the author entries are set in single-field mode, which should be used only for institutions. The empty space between the two commas is also odd. Are there characters missing from this example as posted here, or is that literally what you see in the document?

um Simon - see here: http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/17329/emversion30a1r8887emversion/#Item_1 haven't tested this, but this might be a Zotero issue...
