Note that, AFAIK, completely rewritten word plugins are being released with Zotero 2.0b7, so any specific bug is, I guess, unlikely to be carried over. A recent post indicates that 2.0b7 should be released tomorrow! (sorry, can't find the thread).
-
Are you implementing it by allowing each group library to have its own webDAV credentials? I'm not sure but I would say that's unlikely - rumour has it that 2.0b7 implements a new storage solution not based on webDAV, and I would guess group storag…

Someone who uses OpenOffice really should report this if it hasn't been reported already (I did a quick search of OOo issues but couldn't find anything and I feel a bit cheeky reporting a bug with software I don't use). IMO, if you can't select the …

although I believe this would allow another feature request, which was to index the comments in a pdf file That would make incorporating text conversion based on pdftk or something similar a definite feature request for me - I make heavy use of comm…

I don't have OpenOffice, so I can't test this, but you could try pressing the right arrow key once you have placed the cursor, that could potentially move it out of the field. Also, does the problem still occur if you navigate to the end of the cita…

It's possible - but requires direct editing of zotero.sqlite. Instructions are here (scroll down a bit for a modification that will let you delete only automatic tags - they have a different tagType value so you can select just them if you want). C…

As mentioned here the search results pages for pubmed central appear to be incorrectly treating PMCIDs as PMIDs (this is in addition to the translator for article pages being broken). Example URL: http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcg…

Ah - it appears the developers are already onto this: http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/8526/pubmed-translator-not-working/#Comment_38948

I'm also getting this error. This URL (the article page): http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=367614&tool=pmcentrez gave the "could not save item error". Interestingly this URL (search results for the same article): htt…

Another thing to try is to go to the "gear menu" (icon is a gear wheel) and click "purge deleted storage files".

If you are using Zotero 2.0 beta have you emtied the trash (at the bottom of the collections list - right click on it and select "empty")? As for WebDAV it is quite easy to set up, some users have offered recommendations of both free and paid-for s…

And how it the JavaScript Error relevant for me at this stage? It isn't directly relevant to you, what Adam meant was that it is relevant to the developers, or to any community members who would like to have a go at fixing this.

Note that for databases which don't have support for automatic PDF saving the quickest way of adding a PDF to the relevant Zotero item is to drag the PDF link from the website onto the item in Zotero. Alternatively, if the PDF is already open in Fir…

Sorry for the confusion, I didn't mean that my search string was the search string you should enter - quick search doesn't support that ATM. I meant that my search string represents the logic I appeared to be getting when I tried your advanced searc…

Cambridge University (UK) computing service provides this information: http://www.cam.ac.uk/cs/docs/leaflets/m310/zotero.pdf This is a) quite hidden b) out of date (no mention of syncing at all - they recommend the portable firefox solution). Edit…

This works fine for me, as far as I can tell with a few minutes testing your search takes the form: "open source" OR "free software" could you provide exact steps to reproduce your issue, together with examples of titles which are found but should…

These already are abbreviated in the English interface (Abbreviated Journal Title becomes Journal Abbr. and Location in Archive becomes Loc. in Archive), so they should probably be abbreviated in the Russian one as well - this is probably just an ov…
-
Aha, I get it now. Grabbing text from a few pages in as a fallback sounds like a good idea, as long as the algorithm avoids grabbing text from the last page or so to avoid the reference list/bibliography (would only really be an issue with short re…

I'm also surprised that retrieve metadata doesn't catch this - especially as searching for the title in google scholar brings this up as the first result and it is possible to grab the metadata from this result. Does anyone acquainted with the "re…
-
Edit: sorry, started writing before you posted again - most of it is still relevant though, and it should be even easier than dragging the link. If you create the item from the web page (using the symbol in the Firefox address bar) it should add th…

No, a collection is not suitable because I prefer to keep those titles out of my library. Otherwise I would have to many titles in that library and it would be difficult to keep an overview. Personally I was of the same opinion until I tried just u…

a) How is it generating the metadata? I don't have any PDF metadata stored in the file but it's able to figure it out somehow. See http://www.zotero.org/support/retrieve_pdf_metadata for more information. Basically it looks for a DOI first, and uses…

Edit: Adamsmith beat me to it, my post basically replicates his, the last section should still be relevant though, unless I have the wrong end of the stick. For starters, the only way I can even find to add a locally stored article to my library was…

I recognize this is not what Zotero is designed to be I disagree - almost all use cases for Zotero require the ability to easily find items once they have been added to the library, whether through tags, collections or search. Although I haven't re…

So researcher beware: all outfits (including, I assume, Zotero) are subject to disappearance, together with all of your data. The major difference with Zotero is that as it is open source and supported by a major academic institution it is much less…

@ monti If you add more citations with a different style selected and then change back to Chicago does that produce an error? If not this may be a possible temporary workaround if you are under time constraint.
-
I would imagine that the Zotero developers would probably want to take rather a cautious line on this - Endnote output style code posted on a competitor's site potentially falls foul of Endnote usage agreements. Thompson Reuters has already (unsucce…

Note that currently attachments aren't available on the website, even with file syncing enabled, although AFAIK this feature is planned for the future. If you need to access attachments from a public computer (i.e. one where you can't install fire…

Mark - you should go to http://www.tc.umn.edu/~kjamison/zoterename/ and use the contact details at the bottom of the page to report this.
