he uses "Zotero Desktop Connector" to refer to the text box dialog used for searching for Zotero references No, that was the name of the plugin — it wasn't a reference to the citation dialog. (The first screenshot shows the tab named after the p…

I did refer to the plugin by the name the developer has on its Github page: "obsidian-zotero-integration plugin." In its documentation, he uses "Zotero Desktop Connector" to refer to the text box dialog used for searching for Zotero references. Loo…

Zotero's data directory is on the local disk at ~/Etc/Zotero, where ~ is my home directory (/Users/). I use Zotero regularly, so I should notice any repeat performances pretty quickly. This week may be an exception though, as I have various system …

Another possible model is the rbbt Zotero/bibtex to Rmarkdown connector (https://github.com/paleolimbot/rbbt). It seems to offer a few advantages out of the box: (1) RStudio and rbbt are FOSS without the $180/year rental fee, (2) RStudio + R can do …

The default "Book" Item Type does not have these fields. Are you saying one has to customize the interface and add a new Item Type? Or, are you saying the CSL file has to be modified? If the latter, how does the CSL file know what field to look for…

The materials at http://www.bu.edu/eci/education-materials/teaching-modules/ suggest references like: Gnedenko, Ekaterina. 2020. “Land Economics and Policy.” An ECI Teaching Module on Social and Economic Issues, Economics in Context Initiative, Glo…

I was looking for a place to voice an opinion about this, and this thread seems to be the most recent relevant place. I recently had to enter reference data for an Excel spreadsheet maintained by the U.N. As the page Adam references suggests, I use…

Just to follow up on this. I want to cite a YouTube clip from the movie "Animal House." It's the classic, but very short scene (https://youtu.be/zDAmPIq29ro) in which Kevin Bacon shouts "All is well." The video recording item type is oriented to a…

Thanks for the tip about Zutilo. I didn't know that, even though I already have Zutilo installed. Doh! But while linking to the Zotero item would be helpful, linking directly to the file on the filesystem is what I'm looking for. Once Zotero is set…

Thanks! Restarting worked.

I'm having this same problem with Zotero 5.0.60 on a Mac running MacOS 10.14.2. I'm seeing the following items in the menu: * View Online * Show in Library * Find Available PDF * Add Attachment > * Move Item to Trash... * Remove Item from Collec…

Ah, thanks for clearing up the mystery of your name. I was wondering. As for what they'll do with the BibTeX output, I'm not exactly sure. I suspect it will depend on the tools themselves. Some would most likely just import the bibliographic data, …
-
In reference to my earlier post from Feb. 2016, and Emilianoe's comment, I'd strongly advise using Zotero to export a collection as a *.bib file and then importing the file into one or more of the FOSS tools, typically associated with LaTeX or even …

Has this ever been implemented? I'm using Zotero 5.0.41 and have to cite an individual letter which was published in a collected works volume. The CMS 17th ed. (15.43) says for author-date use the date of the collection and "weave" the individual …

Whew! I misunderstood you and see now you said "example screenshot." Now I also understand that you're saying Zotfile reproduces the links in Zotero, even though they originally appear as bookmarks in the PDF file. Yes, mine looks like that except…
-
Adam, Nope. We're talking about this note: https://www.evernote.com/l/AAcrnuwSCoxA0Jo6fRFlZb49YS9FgSgG_fE I don't think Zotfile is generating these links, as the actual PDF file has all of them as bookmarks, as far a I can tell. (BTW, if it's thi…

Actually, after reading your comments and conducting further inspection, there is no note attached to the item, despite what the error message says. All that's there is (1) the top-level record for the item's metadata (Info, Note, Tags, and Related)…

arinbasu: On 9/28/16 you said you removed another add-on to solve the "TypeError: itemGetsource is not a function" error. I'm having the same problem. What is the name of the other add-on you removed?
-
Interesting. I accessed the other page by using Chrome on an iMac. The Times allows users to save items from their desktop, as well as from mobile devices. So I didn't understand why the link I got was "mobile." With the Times' interface on both it…

This problem seems to have cropped up the past week or so. I'm not sure if it began after I updated Zotero (currently 5.0.35.1), Zotfile (5.0.7), MacOS (10.10.5), or something else. Also not sure if I'm missing something not configured properly in Z…

I seem to recall the BibLaTeX manual describing some special files that can be input as options either to Biber or BibLaTeX and that make Biber/BibLaTeX able to handle a BibTeX file with certain differences from what BibLaTeX ordinarily handles. Bu…
-
Thanks, Adam. I'll try BibTeX. But here's at least part of the problem I think I'm running into. I'm using LyX 2.3.0rc2, which is notable for adding BibLaTeX support alongside the BibTeX support LyX has had for some time. But some document formats,…

Actually, I was wrong about #9. I only had to hit return about a dozen times before the error messages stopped.

On 9/13/17 I reported what seems to be a bug in Zotfile: for references having multiple attachments, Zotfile creates multiple links, but they all point to the same pdf file. On 9/26/17 Bruce Rusk said he was having the same problem AND that he is u…
-
I'm having a problem with Zotfile that I think may be a bug. I haven't read all 55 pages of this discussion, so maybe someone else has raised it. But I searched for "zotfile" and "multiple" without finding discussion of the issue. In my workflow, I…

ENHANCEMENT REQUEST Besides fixing the bug I reported 7 days ago, I'd like to see the following enhancements. With the new version of Zotero, I'm finding it more reliably attaches pdf files, for example from publication sites to which I have acces…

I'm having a problem which may be a bug in Zotfile. Suppose I access a source on Google Scholar: Doe, John. 2008. Conundrums: History and Prospects. It comes with a pdf, and so the Zotero connector adds the item to the Zotero database and attaches t…
-
You're probably right. I'll just be very conscious of what's going on when this happens again.
-
I don't think so. As I mentioned, it happened, I restarted Zotero, and after that the attachment opened. I've been working with Zotero pretty much non-stop since I reported the problem this morning, and things have been OK ever since. Now I don't …

Searching for "Contentsc" yields nothing. Searching for "56468" yields 4 items, all from the same book. None have any notes. Dan: no doubt there should be a button that leads to the note, but there isn't. The only button is one for reporting the er…
