1. Zotero currently only allows PDFs. But an old request of mine (and support from several others) is here, asking for it to allow pointing to a directory instead of a file: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/31697/link-to-directory-for-reference …

It seems the risk is outweighed by the reward here, with awareness that a future release might require redoing custom tags. Yes, an official version of this would be great, but if this works, then I'm really in no hurry for that. I genuinely see th…

OK, too much for me to take on at this time then. If someone does feel kind enough to fix this for future releases, it would be nice, and I see no downside. But I understand if not. Thank you for walking me through everything!
-
Thanks. Interesting! That explains then why the output of the date macro doesn't match how it's actually sorted. I thought something was going on behind the scenes. I wonder how hard it would be to change/fix this in citeproc-js. I don't think anyo…
-
I completely agree with all of that!! Really, I do. But that's what customization is for. I'm not suggesting my custom variables should be shared with others (unless they want to copy my personal modifications). The whole point is that a single to…
-
1. Why use something that is semantically for a different purpose for something that is obviously different? Isn't that just as wrong or more wrong than custom variables? 2. CSL is designed to make bibliographies. It should gracefully allow customi…
-
Thanks. Sorry, I meant that I wasn't sure exactly when this happens (whether it's internal to Zotero or not). I haven't actually SEEN it happening. I just know that it NEVER changes between Zotero and eventually being sorted at the top, and I never …
-
So what do you recommend when you want more than one variable (annote is good for one) that don't conflict with any existing CSL variables? Let's say we'd want it on all item types. 1) Might not work* 2) Might conflict ...any option 3? [*Yes, it …
-
OK, thank you!! That is very clear, and it helps me understand what (not) to do when editing documents with someone. Glad it's that simple! The only concern then would be potentially doubling entries if something is already cited by the collaborato…
-
@jerryplotnick sorry for the confusion. I'm just figuring out how to do all of this myself, and the others are correcting me. So if my ideas are useful, please go ahead and use them. But defer to the technical details and corrections the others are …
-
Do you mean that it would be in conflict with something else? This is distinct from "short title" in reference to the title of the actual entry. "container-title-short" refers to, e.g., the journal abbreviation, not the article's title in short form…
-
See the last paragraph of my answer above. You can in fact have multiple variables within extra, just put one on each line and name them distinctly. The only catch is that they might not keep working with updates to Zotero. Use at your own risk un…
-
Oh, great. Yes, these probably are just leftovers. I came across them from time to time, but didn't have any systematic way to find them all before now. So solved in both ways.
-
In case someone wants to try to debug this, if it helps here's an entry I just found while cleaning my collection using @adamsmith 's saved search: Begin, R., T. Racine & J. C. Roy. 1975. Value of capillary blood gas analyses in the management …
-
This is very cool. Haven't tried it yet, but something I'd like to use in the future for collaboration. The first post briefly describes sharing, and some responses talk about conflicting edits. But how exactly are libraries integrated into the doc…
-
(I think this should be in a separate thread to not confuse things). Sorry. My main point was that a "recently added" or "undo" button would help for other reasons too. The latest import from add by identifier is automatically selected in Zotero.…
-
OK, this was actually a good test project for me to try to figure out how to modify these styles. I have a working version of this, no promises it'll be perfect, but it seems to work for what you've described. 1. Create a new style based on the st…
-
Manual sort-by entries for several fields would be nice: --Names (sometimes I like to add the original language name, e.g., Russian Cyrillic spelling in brackets after the author; plus issues with particles like 'van der') --Dates (for complex/non-s…
-
This is a slightly different issue, but might help with the original request too. When attempting to import with the magic wand button, via DOI or ISBN, a cancel or undo button would be useful as well. Or simply an easy way to see the latest import…
-
I don't disagree. But that's not my motivation: I'm avoiding "status" because it isn't supported in OTHER styles. If an editor asks me for a paper in some other style, I don't want my forthcoming dates to disappear-- I'd rather correct them manuall…
-
OK, after a little more testing, it looks like space, $ and numbers all sort first, whereas most other symbols are ignored for sorting. So I think I'll use the following: The resulting reference (sorted first) is like this: $0*[note]* Author. YYY…
-
One correction, one question: 1. Just for anyone reading this, my code above is overly complex. Only one line is needed: It's only printed if there is a value. (I didn't know that before.) 2. I thought the sorting was working properly, but it see…
-
Thanks for the suggestions. I think this is close enough now, with manual touch-up required. Honestly, the most appropriate way to do this with CSL is not store words in “issued” at all and to use “status” for such descriptors (e.g., see how APA do…
-
@bwiernik - Ah, great idea. Yes, I'll switch that now. It'll look cleaner too, I think, less distracting from the more important last name. I figured I'd just do some manual trimming at the end of documents where word counts matter (especially abs…
-
@bwiernik -- OK, no problem. @adamsmith -- Yes, the fact that they worked misled me into believing that was the only way to deal with this, rather than actually more straightforwardly in the name macro above. (but I think you may also literally be…
-
Aha! So easy now that you tell me exactly what to do (sorry I'm a bit slow with this). The code is clear once I understand it :) That's exactly what I was after, thanks! Last question: how would I get John F. Kennedy to initialize as just "J. Kenn…
-
Let me clarify: The only thing that I have done is change the tag: Note "by-cite" as the value there. Since this is being disambiguated automatically, I am not sure where, if anywhere, to find it in the style. I haven't added (or located) any …
-
It would require changing the underlying code. But it's not hard. Adding hierarchical terms would be great but is hard, because it would require changing how the data is stored. My (hypothetical*) solution would only require changing how bibliograph…
-
OK, makes sense. Thanks. A relatively simple workaround would be to extract the book information from the citation, and display that as a separate citation. Then for any items with IDENTICAL secondary citations (we'd need to manually correct for th…
-
The Year column would be a Zotero issue, but if this is about bibliographies, this is a question of citeproc-js behavior, not Zotero behavior. I don't understand precisely what that difference would be, and since I can't see where the date is being …
