You can install firefox plugins globally so that all users will have zotero. You can also change the directory that zotero data is stored in & can set it so that everyone uses the same database. SQLite is single access, so this will not wo…

DSpace has had Google Summer of Code proposals for adding better export/import of citations from/to bibliographic software. They have interest in improving their product s interaction with apps like zotero too. It'd be great if they used one of t…

The above example imports to three top level items on my machine. Only the main (expected) one appears in the "Imported Friday..." collection. The other two are dummy "Web Page" files not in any collections. These are the "phantom files" I reported …

That imports as a single entry on my machine. Does a file with only this single record exhibit the bug on your machine? (I replaced ' -' with ' -' (two spaces instead of one--without this change, it doesn't import, so I think it was only the way …

However, unlike PDFs that I add in manually, the PDF is not listed as an attachment & doesn't show up as an item in the center pane.Yes--this is intended behavior. A URL is different than a file attachment. The "legacy" bibliographic formats t…

but I'm having trouble with references with linked PDFs. These citations imported into Zotero have the following in the URL field: internal-pdf://author date - number/author date.pdfSee previous discussion.How do I fix this?Submit a bug report to T…

First: I'm sure you're aware of the unAPI and COinS plugins for WordPress. I've encouraged some of my favorite authors who use WordPress to adopt these plugins. This does take effort for questionable payoff & sometimes can't be done by the aut…
-
No worries. Firefox doesn't know much about PDFs & the plugins don't have APIs, so firefox extensions don't know much about PDFs either. (Zotero knows a tiny bit about them by using the binary pdf tools form poppler/xpdf.) For note taking on …

I don't believe I misunderstood. 1) I am not trying to edit a PDF. I am trying to do what I have been able to do with webpages in Zotero, while conducting reserach, namely highlighting and sticky notes.Highlighting and notes within a PDF are not sup…
-
whether I can link to a pdf and open it in the snapshot view so that I can highlight and sticky-note the sucker.No. Zotero is not able to edit PDFs. Also, I have been unable to get Firefox/Zotero to open a pdf in the Firefox browser. I downloaded a…
-
So, let me just verify this: You have two copies of firefox? A local/nonportable version on your Mac harddrive and a portable version on the jump drive? Rather than merely "backing up" your zotero data, you wish to synchronize your local data…

I tried dragging and dropping the Zotero folder without success. Help! What does "without success" mean?
-
Thanks, noksagt - I use Notepad++ for my own.And do you know how to use this to make the requested file for your own needs?I work in a public library that doesn't allow usb keys, and am trying to find a way for patrons to build/transfer bibliographi…

There is not currently an export format that has only isbn & no "generic" export. There is a feature request for CSV & similar formats that would allow easier manipulation (search the forums for info on this). It would be straight forw…
-
Zotero doesn't look in the path. (In fact, I don't know that we even have any way of doing so.)I think other extensions look in the path, but I don't know offhand how they do this. A "hack" that might work would be to ship with a (OS dependent) wra…

In the right panel, click the title of the snapshot. This will let you rename it.
-
I don't know if there's an easy, integrated way to do this. The web snapshots are stored in your zotero data directory, so you can manually attach them to an email to your colleague. If this is not sufficient, you can probably use an extension lik…
-
@mbrown, As a user of some of those resources, I'd certainly love to see you adopt one or more of the open standards for bibliographic metadata (COinS and/or unAPI now; the bibliographic rdf ontology when it is finalized & adopted by others…

how to quote postings on this boardEnclose the quote in HTML tags like thisI use EndNote's connect feature and do not even have to know the URL for a web-based search (I don't even know if there is one, although the students and faculty without EN m…

Is there any way I can set the citation keys in Zotero so that every time I re-export I don't have to reset hundreds of citation keys?No & there hasn't yet been announcements that this is under consideration, although it has come up a few times …
-
Of course, I can type these into the database manually, but how does one link them to their bibliographic source?Some find it more efficient to locate the article online & scrape it. If you do enter info manually, you can press the "locate" lin…

E.g. the patent number, application number and classification fields don't import at all and the issue date field reports both filing and publication/issue dates together.Recently reported issue for patents in RIS.Which of these formats is best supp…

Yes, the zotero devs will have an online server. There's also been talk of a utility (plugin) to more easily sync with Connotea. If you "can't wait" & Connotea isn't sufficient, refbase or CiteULike might be (both have RSS, keywords/tags, and …

I was wondering, what is the current state of unAPI support?It works.What formats are supported, if any?"mods", "marc", "endnote", "ris", "bibtex", "rdf". It takes unAPI+MODS XML from refbase (although refbase offers endnote, RIS, BibTeX, and other…
-
I agree with Bruce re. the quality of Word 2007's builtin citation support. If you REALLY want to use it, bibutils (free/open source) can convert some of the Zotero export formats into Word XML. So you can play with it. (Though, again, I'd encour…
-
@rocker: Yes on all counts. ill it be an easy matter to get this data off the stick and into some central location? Yes--if the zotero server does everything you want, you'll just be able to use that. If the syncing isn't perfect, you can always ju…
-
There are discussions of CSV export & the points raised apply in spades to import. CSV and TSV aren't really standards--there is no commonly accepted "spreadsheet format" for bibliographic information, so field ordering might be frustrating…
