Hey, I wonder if someone can give me a hand with this. I'm using Zotfile, set up to allow a portable library as described here. In several instances, I've scanned edited collections and stored each contribution as a single pdf file within a common …

So if I correctly understand what you're saying about #5, these things are true: Everything that resides on ZFS also resides on every client. If one changes the server from ZFS to a WebDAV server, sync will automatically store everything, including…

Thanks for your feedback Adam. After some investigation, I've decided to use Zotfile and a iPad pdf-annotator (TBD) for now. But since so many of my pdf files are for "deep storage" (i.e., not being used right now), I want to rearrange them. Ideal…

Thanks. I didn't understand this. It's very helpful to know.

Yes, I was thinking of having the app on the tablet. W/ r.t. ZotPad, there are two aspects. One is how it actually accesses Zotero's data. The other is what the user sees. Given that tablets have limited screen real estate, I'd like the app to star…

I'm not sure what you mean by this: The Zotfile page says it "stores the file as a Zotero attachment to this item (or alternatively, moves it to a custom location)." I thought I could could use WebDAV on my Mac to mount a directory on the LMS server…

This is a great thread. Thanks to everyone. I recently realized I have to take my pdf management up a notch. Up until now, I've kept copies of pdfs in all sorts of places: any one of the computers I use in 3 different offices, a laptop, an iPad, an…

Will do both. I'll let you know how things turn out. Thanks.

I'm returning to this issue now and have one further comment/suggestion. Sometimes an academic document is not a typical paper. Web sites and graphic presentations come to mind. In such cases one typically wants to insert the item (image, etc.) and…

Has anyone tried inserting the citation in the document but outside the caption, and then changing the font of the citation to "hidden"? Meanwhile, type the citation manually into the caption. This seems a reasonable workaround, if it works.

@fbennett and @paultroop, I'm a bit confused about MLZ. The documentation seems to say it's a Zotero client, but I'm not sure what this means. Is it a program that sits alone, much as the current standalone version does? Or is it a Firefox plugin? …
-
@samuelas, it sounds as if you've figured out how to do this, but you may not be doing it the best way. It sounds to me as if the problem was that the document files and the zodfscan.py files were in different directories. Mac OS 10.8 is built on U…

Was anything ever done about this? It's been almost four years, and the Thesis template still has no separate field for a department. Are we to supposed to include the department in the University field? If so, then the label for the field is a mis…

I actually did something similar to what craigeley did, although mine is a bit simpler IMHO and completely free (TextExpander costs 35 bucks). (The learning curve was still steep enough that it took me over a week to figure this out. But I'm pretty …
-
Thanks Adam. I'll do that. But I have one question about the translator ID (and one other thought). How does one make sure they're unique? Also, is there a log or other place one can look to see if this is the error?
-
Mronkko makes an excellent point. Is there a place documenting a Scrivener api or how to write extensions for Scrivener?
-
I've been a happy Zotero user for years, and I'm so impressed with Scrivener that I'm thinking of making it my main drafting engine. But getting Scrivener to play nice with Zotero is non-negotiable. I'm joining the conversation late, but everyone s…

For those who are puzzled, as I was, trying to find the style tab, the path is Preferences > Cite > Styles. Happy Thanksgiving!
-
I don't have the latest edition of the Chicago Manual of Style in the office where I'm working today, but Sections 16.53-16.54 of the 14th edition has useful suggestions. Basically, the suggestion is to include the acronym as part of the institutio…
-
Thanks Jo, but I think Adam is right. Like most social scientists, I use the Chicago author-date system. In that system there are no "ibid.'s," "op. cit.'s," etc. The only thing really necessary would be the option of omitting the year as well as t…
-
Thanks, Adam. Now for some follow-up questions. 1. I don't see where to set preferences for ZSA and RIS. I looked both in ZSA Preferences and in the Connector for Chrome. Maybe I misunderstand what you're saying. Are you suggesting I set the opera…

Thanks.

Well, here's the error message: [JavaScript Error: "TypeError: match is null" {file: "file:///Users/marsh/Library/Application%20Support/Firefox/Profiles/9ke9fs84.default/zotero/translators/Highwire%202.0.js" line: 0}] Without getting into the Java…

OK, Adam. This time I disabled EVERYTHING but Zotero. I got the same error as before. However, I was able to use "Report Error." The error report number is 1806072164. I hope this helps. Marsh
-
OK. I'll try to follow the instructions lockstep. 1. I searched the forums and did not find anything about this. 2. I'm using FF 6.0 and Zotero 2.1.8. The "Report Errors" item is gray. 3. To reproduce: go to the link in my original post. Click on t…
-
Dan, What other information do you need? The error message only asks for the site and the name of the translator. Sorry I didn't understand the architecture. To rephrase: Zotero seems to be using the wrong translator for the site, or the translato…
-
I don't think this is a bug in Zotero. I think the translator on the site is wrong. The error message says to post this information here, which is why I did so.

Nevermind. I realized that Zotero handles BibTeX and Refer, so I didn't have to figure out any cryptic RDF or XML standards. Silly me. What was I thinking? (Obviously not very much.)

Hi Dan, Here it is: D1626824706. Maybe I should have done more before submitting it. I set things up to create a log on restart. When Firefox restarted, the error was already there, and I submitted the log. Perhaps it would be more enlightening t…
