Correct. (And I agree.)

I'm glad my comments were helpful. (We're in similar situations, at least indirectly.) Yes, that's exactly what I thought you were trying to do. Unfortunately there isn't a perfect way to do it. The simplest is to do what @adomasven said in the la…

I do not believe the comment is off topic. The key is why empty cites were being used in the first place. Literally, in themselves, empty cites are useless, right? But see: I have quite a lot of citations where I mention the author's name in the tex…

Another reason why "suppress author" is not sufficient: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/73273/error-when-supressing-author-name-in-citation-in-word In a style like MLA where sometimes only the author is displayed in a cite, suppressing the auth…

This is another reason why having only "suppress author" is a bad solution to the problem discussed here: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/5282/multiple-in-text-citation-patterns I assume that @julia.tiemann is using this approach in order to (…

It seems simpler to me to just create different documents for each chapter, then combine them as PDFs at the very end.* The individual page numbers can be set to a number of than 1 (=same as previous chapter) for each file in Word (and probably simi…

That all sounds great to me :) If there's some way to customize name-only for APA, then that would put the architecture in place for any other styles or customized variants that would want to specify this, and that would be easy to sort out later f…

Ah! Good catch: prevent collapse if two elements are separated by an affix So we'd want: (See also Smith 2017, 2018 for more info) But: (See also Smith 2017 and similar arguments in Smith 2018) This could potentially get tricky for complex citati…

@bwiernik Yes!! That all sounds great! It’s not clear whether this would best be done in CSL as author-only or Author (Year) formatting. The advantage of the former would be flexibility regarding separating the author and year in a sentence. Yes, pl…

This is a complicated issue, and all of the responses to my suggestion are focusing on multiple minor technicalities. I'm not sure how to respond to that without going into detail, because it doesn't seem that you just want to take my word for it. …

Sounds correct to me! I can't verify (1) from a technical perspective, but it already has some elements in it that look to serve that function. And whatever other functionality is needed should in principle be able to be approached as the opposite …

If you disagree with me, please point to a detail where this is actually a problem. I fully understand it looks "kludgy" at first (I thought so too!), but I have carefully read through everything above and other threads, and it would allow essential…

@bwiernik 1. Author-only cites are a useful feature in themselves, for no other reason than just inserting authors names outside of formal citations. Think of this usage as a bonus only. It's a useful feature in itself to keep after a full system …

But can't (good) features be added into the main program and carried forward to new versions? I didn't interpret this as asking for unofficial patches.
-
Agreed. And that's why it's important to differentiate the type of PDF being retrieved when adding it to the library!

1. This thread goes back to 2009, and no solution has been implemented for nearly 10 years. You're dismissing the feature requests/desired user cases that others have made here...No, not at all! I'm proposing a simplified version that would be cons…

@noksagt thank you for the comments. I have to admit I don't really understand some of the minor objections here. At worst, you could just choose not to use this feature, but the many people in this thread (and others) who are requesting this functi…

@adamsmith, this was also my concern when I saw this feature being added. It might not matter so much for someone who typically uses a style that usually doesn't require citing page numbers (just main arguments from the paper), but I actually find m…

There are options with zutilo for multiple styles to be used with “quick copy”. - That would require differently styles to be set up, such as “apa-a,b,c” to cover the different citations and That seems like an awkward workaround, although I could li…

Summary: Allowing Author (YYYY) and variants is important to many of us. Fully implementing that, including variants and style-specific details, would be complicated. A good workaround is name-only cites that allow us to build that format (combined…

Highest priority for me: A fundamental feature for those of us who need it: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/comment/314401/#Comment_314401 A minimal solution is adding name-only cites. A full solution would also have options for "Author (YYYY)…

Just following up with a final thought on this, in case anyone else is thinking about the same thing. I have thought of a way to do this, with some manual editing of citations, that would work, and would only require modifying styles. However, I do…

Yes! I just recently offered to make a donation in support of a feature request here: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/comment/314401/#Comment_314401 That feature has been requested for about 10 years now, with no progress, and the main thing s…

You can import multiple ISBNs via the add item box in Zotero. I'm not sure if there's a limit or if beyond a certain amount it will start to slow your computer, but you can probably reasonably do it in batches. So if BookBuddy can give you a list of…

Why not just import via ISBNs? (That will just refetch the same information you have; it won't help if you have notes or other custom information or corrections for the books, though.)

I'm not an expert, but just to respond from a similar perspective. Feel free to completely ignore my (admittedly long) response here if it doesn't seem helpful, but maybe a "preview" of what's to come if you decide to start writing/changing code wil…

I don't know if this is the right answer, but just because you're on a tight deadline and you seem to have the same operating system and Word version I do, could this be the problem? https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/73156/word-2011-for-mac-zoter…

A progress bar would be useful. More technically, I have always found it odd — and problematic, as you point out! — that we can edit the document while Zotero is doing something. This is because a shell command is sent to Zotero which runs asynchr…

I have written a crude patch to do this for my own personal use, which might be of help to others while we wait for an official solution to this problem: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/73159/announcing-zoterzero-for-author-only-cites I genuine…

Here's what I ended up with, after giving up on trying to integrate the timing better. I just don't see a way to do it, without changing Zotero's Shell function. https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/73159/announcing-zoterzero-for-author-only-cites
