I think this procedure is going to be your best option. Zotero can import RIS, but you'll lose your project structure unless you go project-by-project.
-
Plugins to add features to Zotero create nothing more than a Rube Goldberg solution. (clutches pearls) Quick, someone tell Microsoft, Mozilla, Google and Apple about this plugin danger, before things get out of hand! Plugins as a concept are a fant…

@pavlo_hrab but opening tabs from a top menu (such as Help, Preferences, etc) should not cause BBT to awake, if that does stall out Zotero, that's not likely to be BBT. I reckon annotations get saved, and saves will trigger auto-exports set up, but…

Because there are places where they don't work for reasons I don't understand. One of them is exporting to a mapped network drive under windows, at least for one user. But the default is background, and you must go into the hidden prefs to turn that…

@pavlo_hrab I'd love to look into your performance problem. If you open an issue on github I can get this started.
-
@dstillman I already do display a progress bar, albeit my own, at the top where the search field sits. I'd be happy to instead reuse the existing progress bar in the bottom-right. Any pointers on how that's used? But more generally, if people have …

You never want to delete the old article, as that will mess up earlier citations of it. Merging accomplishes the same outcome and will keep the citations working.
-
I've just used separate groups for separate projects, even if I'm the only one in the group.
-
Experimental, clunky, and what little I thought I knew about CSL was proven wrong in my first tests, but this adds CSL-powered custom columns to Zotero. That will allow listing all authors, although you might have to get comfortable with CSL (which …
-
Assuming you are not saving attachments, only paths, a BBT postscript like this should do it: if (Translator.BetterTeX && !Translator.options.exportFileData && item.attachments && item.attachments.length) { for (const att …

I want to do this from a plugin, are those JavaScript APIs available in that execution context? Yes.

https://www.zotero.org/utils/dbfix/manual Database corruption should be a rare occurence, unless you are syncing your database over dropbox or similar services, in which case you are going to run into db corruption at some point. Better than a rep…

surround the xml with xml here

Through javascript inside Zotero you mean? This seems to be the incantation.
-
You can currently do this using item.export, which takes citekeys; if you export to BBT-JSON you also get the item key/library ID.
-
WRT the "how" question -- BBT monkey-patches the Zotero select-link handler to detect that a citekey is being passed and changes that in-place to the equivalent library+key. As far as Zotero knows, the select-link always had that library+key in the …

I am converting the Date field like this: var date = “Date::” + Zotero.Utilities.strToISO(item.date) + “”; For items with year/month/day date, I end up with YYYY-MM-DD (this is what I need). But for books I get only YYYY. How do I get from > YYY…
-
Current search will find on citekey, and because citekeys are unlikely to show up elsewhere in the items, usually will search inky on citekey. If you want the citekey itself, an export in csl json will give you that. If you want more detailed infor…
-
Which API do you mean? The online public API (zotero api v3), or something that can be queried locally? The former, no, not possible, the latter, sort of; search will also, but not exclusively, search for citekeys with BBT installed. I could conside…
-
I can just set citation-key directly as I patch the CSL item, and the processor picks that up, so all is good, without having to fiddle with the note field. The hidden pref for it is now gone, since the note field can remain untouched now, which doe…
-
So not BBT related?
-
@bwiernik having Citation Key: something set in extra does not seem to lead to the citation-key variable being available to the style.
-
They're the same issue
-
@dstillman is a private build actually required? Isn't this something a plugin could do?
-
Fantastic.
-
That is great, because that is already the format I use for pinned keys. So all I'd need to do then is do an on-the-fly pseudo-pin when the CSL is being generated. And then styles could just use the citation-key variable, today? The citeproc in Zote…
-
That is an excellent diagnosis. That leaves the question whether there is a better field to stuff this in in the interim. I can just add the new format as an variant of the existing behavior. Any idea on when Zotero would upgrade to 1.0.2?
-
I don't know why citeproc would trip on a : being in the note field.
-
Then I don't know why that same style doesn't work for you. But if you have one that works, can I get a copy? Could prevent the same thing to happen to others.
