4. Word macro code Function ZoterZeroFieldFix(F) ' Fix a field with ZoterZero fieldText = F.Code.Text ' get the current text of the field If InStr(fieldText, " ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION") = 1 Then ' make sure this is a Zotero field to m…

The problem seems to be that Zotero calls a shell command to perform any macro actions, so it's not actually running through VBA.* Here's the macro I'm trying to run after Zotero finishes updating a field: Application.Run MacroName:="ZoteroInsertCi…
-
Makes sense. Trying to do that now. But when I do that, I end up calling the Zotero function, then the Zotero menu opens, and in the background my personal macro runs, so it doesn't wait until the Zotero process is done. Trying to figure out the t…

How long have you actually waited before clicking the second time? It depends. Sometimes I'm basically in the habit of double-clicking, while others I might reclick after a few seconds, or longer if it hasn't responded yet. It doesn't seem to be a f…

Rewriting the styles would be laborious, but not difficult per se. And a default could set up some basic functionality to start. The need to update the CSL files should not limit the possibility of such functionality from Zotero. If it would help I…
-
Ah, that makes sense. Is there some way to modify the Zotero toolbar or should I just make my own clone of it with my own buttons? I suppose that might be easier. Thanks!

I see something very promising in: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/citation-style-language/schema/master/csl-citation.json ... "suppress-author": { "type": [ "string", "number", "boolean" ] }, "author-only": { "type": [ "string", "…
-
What would it take to make this happen? At least: 1) Name-only (Treat it as text in all styles, no issues converting to footnotes, etc. No parentheses around it. The text should update automatically and include name-disambiguation.) Optimally also…
-
A simple way to solve all of this automatically would be to have a without-parentheses option for citations, as discussed in detail in this thread: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/5282/ If we could have without-parentheses, and name-only optio…
-
Great, thank you for addressing this so quickly!
-
Simple suggestion/request: If we could have an "author-only" option next to "suppress author", many of the issues would be improved.* A full version of this would be great, but that small feature alone would be a huge help. Note that it isn't just…

All of my documents are broken. You seem to be suggesting that's not a big deal, not for me personally nor anyone else using the stylesheet. I asked a reasonable question above: when/how will this be corrected? Your response was dismissive. I'm no…
-
Is that quick/often? I mean, I know there aren't that many of us linguists, but what if this was APA?
-
For a single document it would be fine (if not optimal). But not if I have a large number of old documents I don't want to update all of immediately. (Note that this would includes old drafts or other projects that I am not currently working on, but…
-
I had the same problem. (Following up from this thread: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/comment/314325#Comment_314325 ) What is the best strategy going forward? Is the manual revert just to make things work until the update is fixed in Zotero?…
-
I see. Thank you. I'll reply there. Can this discussion be closed?
-
Yes, it would be very helpful if it showed the style and allowed me to change it :) It seems to work to copy it to a new document, but that will require going back through to make a number of changes to citations (e.g., adding or removing parenthes…

Following up on some of this, I've identified some bizarre behavior for sorting from Zotero. I discuss it in more detail here in response to an in depth search through the entries (even into the database data) to find (and correct/mark) my literal d…
-
Hm. Now I'm not able to reproduce what I thought I saw earlier with slashes coming out in some of the dates in some styles. Anyway, yes, that works fine. Oddly it ends up formatted with dashes rather than slashes in all styles from what I'm seeing …
-
Summary of the above: simply a long set of directions on how to actually go about "searching" (indirectly) the full text of the date field, given that Zotero provides no options for searching it directly nor exporting as literal text. No need to rea…
-
Conclusion: The method outlined above works. It's slow and indirect, but it works. If anyone else has the same problem I did, you can follow those steps. I was able to identify about half a dozen entries that I would never have found otherwise. Wor…

I didn't have any way to view the .sqlite file on my computer, but realized I could probably find some software to do it, and here is some that seems great: https://sqlitebrowser.org/ However, now that I look at the structure of the database, it is…
-
You can enter a date in the actual Zotero field if you want as well (it will sort on the first year)--the citation processor will override the Date-field value with one from Extra if provided. Yes, thank you. I am doing that now. I'll just put "19…
-
I assumed it wasn't, and would need to wait for a major revision. But if it is, great! (Of course if something else like a popup menu solves this instead but more easily, I don't object at all. I was just thinking of the current UI.)
-
Would it be possible to add a 'collection' item that in itself lists all of the other collections in the middle pane? Then you could sort, skim, or search. Columns could include name, number of items, date added/modified. You could even add tagging …
-
Especially for (2), this is why I'm so strongly advocating allowing custom fields. Then we can do whatever we want, and the developers don't need to be spread so thin dealing with everyone's individual needs. That doesn't replace the need for expan…
-
This is a helpful solution to the problem. However, I am having a practical problem implementing it: how can I search my library (4,000+) entries for those that have a date range, without going through each of them manually? If I sort by date, it …
-
Yes, I think we're on the same page regarding customization vs. standardization, and I also agree it's important to make sure none of that ends up causing problems for standard features. Hopefully this can all work out together. As for going throug…

@DWL-SDCA thanks! No, I didn't catch that subtext, sorry. Happy to wait for this!!
