  • That will get the appearance that you want, but line breaks are semantically different from paragraphs. @mac: reports aren't yet very customizable. Can you just add the necessary CSS blocks to the generated HTML for now? Ideally, reports would ev…
  • Well, documentation that led me to believe otherwise would be, for starters, that right on the home page in the Features list it states "Access your library from anywhere".I see that several features available only in the 1.5 beta are listed. I agr…
  • Yes. The translator for the NY Times will need to be modified to support the 'travel.' subdomain. A work-around is to remove 'travel.' from the front of the URLs. This will send you to the same article at www.nytimes.com, which can be translated.
  • There is no translator for NY Times blogs & WebDAV syncing is independent of translators. Please post examples of URLs that fail to translate & should (e.g. the articles you mentioned) in another thread.
  • Snapshot annotations do not use TinyMCE. Further, TinyMCE is only in 1.5b2.
  • The officially-supported sync mechanism is only in 1.5b2. If documentation led you to believe otherwise, please point to it so that we can improve it. I am a little bit concerned that you have to download software onto your local machine to use itI…

  • PS/ I'm pretty sure you guys have thought about it, but a proper bug report tools would be quite useful.There is an issue tracker, but all bugs should be reported in the forums (low threshold to report them, easy to address dups, etc.). https://www…
  • I think this has been previously reported & I can certainly confirm it. It only happens when you use fields. Adjacent references should probably be a single, grouped reference anyway (and there are already requests to make the plugin re-write …
  • mydisk.se is blocking Zotero users. Search the forums for more info.
  • It sounds as if magsmanston's supervisor wants to be able to add/remove/edit citations in your document with EndNote. There is no automated way to do this right now, it is not a trivial problem, and the opposite direction (converting EndNote citat…
  • Upgrade Firefox if you can; 3.0b5 is not recommended. http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/2733/
  • userChrome.css is a text file. Create it as you would any other text file (e.g. notepad on windows or TextEdit on OS X).
  • The documentation is currently being reworked to be 1.5-specific, so sticking version numbers in is something I would do sparingly.I certainly agree that these should be temporary & used only where they give clarity (particularly to people who a…
  • Please don't repost: http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/6556/ If you are writing paragraphs & wish to change the look, you could edit your css file, adjusting margin-bottom and margin-top. If you want single spacing because you are writing pr…
  • Install 1.0, quit firefox, replace your zotero data directory with the backup you made prior to installing 1.5, and then start up firefox. If you did not create a backup, you would have to export your data from 1.5, start 1.0 with an empty data dir…
  • I added mention of v. 1.5 in a few more places in the documentation. Given 1.5b2's beta status, I'd be reluctant to explicitly instruct people to download it. They should know of pros/cons first. It might be 6 of one/half a dozen of another, but …
  • If you click on an individual record, you will be able to select "Save to BibTeX" in the "Save to other Reference Software" drop down.
  • ISI changes their site frequently & the translator can't always keep up. As a work-around for now, you can use their BibTeX export & manually import that into Zotero.
  • Zotero can import BibTeX (gear icon->import & select the .bib file).merge his updates when he publishes a new versionZotero has not yet released features to handle duplicates (but they are in active development). For something like this, whe…

  • From CSFN in the other thread:I also deleted the zotero.sqlit file (however it does not stay deleted, everytime I re-open the program it is back).Yes, that is by design: if zotero launches with no database, it will create a fresh one. Which versio…

  • My question was specifically to what kristina.buffham was doing. Are you certain she is on OS X? EDIT: Are you the same user (given your duplicate post at http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/6557)? Note also that Firefox portable has both a firef…

  • I don't think there is an "easy" way to disable TinyMCE at this time (e.g. there are no preferences to load it or not load it; you'd have to modify the code manually). If your gripes are aesthetic (paragraph spacing), presumably they could be resol…
  • It sounds like you have both a standard, local installation of Firefox and portable Firefox & that you are unable to launch the latter at all. This would not be a Zotero-specific issue & you are encouraged to refer to support for Firefox po…
  • Which documentation did you use? It says at http://www.zotero.org/support/sync that:In the interest of making this easier, Zotero 1.5 provides data and file syncing.
  • The URL is only to keep your attachments (snapshots and PDFs) synchronized and does not use Zotero's server. Your database (containing bibliographic metadata and notes) is synced separately to Zotero's server. If you do want to keep your attachmen…
