Thanks -- I'll need to consider the options.
-
So my best bet for getting correct APA author-date citations over the next few months is to monitor the Zotero blog and wait for the announcement of a beta release?
-
Thanks for fixing this! Has the next Zotero release been scheduled yet?
-
Just to complete the procedure: I hit Refresh on the faulty output above, causing the document to crash with the error: this.state.registry.registry[mylds[i]] is undefined. I reset the X server, started LibreOffice, waited for LibreOffice to recov…

Bingo. Using this slightly expanded set of Newspaper Article items, I got the following buggy disambiguation increments, in which the first 2011 item fails to reset to "a": Brooker, C. (2009a, January 5). Brooker, C. (2009b, August 22). Brooker,…
-
Using this minimal set of Newspaper Articles I managed to get another malformed sorting in which the second entry lacks disambiguation: Brooker, C. (2009a, January 5). Brooker, C. (2009, August 22). Brooker, C. (2011a, July 24). Brooker, C. (2011b…

Actually, it seems to be worse. Output of this type (gratuitous run-on disambiguation increments) seems to be the norm in APA v.6 now: Smith, J. (1993a, February 2). Smith, J. (1995b, February 20). Smith, J. (1995c, February 25). Smith, J. (1995d, …
-
Another clue: sometimes when the sorting is out of whack and I try to insert another reference, I get errors such as: Zotero experienced an error updating your document this.registry.citationByld[c[0]] is undefined. Or: Zotero experienced an erro…

Note that the year disambiguation in the cited example isn't "willy nilly" -- with a few bumps along the way, it just starts year-disambiguating with the first item and then keeps incrementing on and on without ever resetting to "a" for a new year. …

I'm sometimes getting very weird year disambiguations now, alternating irregularly with perfectly fine rendering...

Ouch! It turned out that I'd switched the offending document to APA 5th edition at some point while trying to find an author-date style that works. Switching it back to APA 6th edition solved the problem. Sorry for the false alarm!
-
Actually, it's still broken. The gratuitous repetition of the disambiguation suffix after the access date's year is gone now, but the sorting still fails to be chronological in Forum Posts. Here's a few usenet articles by the same author: (1993p, D…
-
Seems to be working now. Thank you!
-
I'll take back my comment on the bad increments to double-letter disambiguation suffixes in Chicago Author-date. I've just converted an article to Chicago Author-date and it gets the following transition right, amongst several others: ———. 1995af. …
-
I don't know if the publication date of books (if available) should be factored into the sort -- probably not. But I'd assume that in author-date styles newspaper articles and blog posts would need to be sorted by their full date rather than just th…

I've upgraded Zotero 2.1.10 to APA 6th edition (rev 2011-08-23 15:22:34) and I still get totally random, non-chronological disambiguation, eg: (1993d, April 14) (1993e, January 13) (1993f, July 2) (1993g, January 16) (1993h, November 27) Also, an …
-
Thanks for the update! It's good to know that things are moving along.
-
Any progress on this? Zotero's APA (6th Edition) style in its current state (rev of 2011-08-01 06:01:03) is not fit for purpose, whereas Chicago Author-Date seems to be working fine.
-
I go back a bit with Zotero and author-date style, and the year suffixes have always been there. I've been working with date-stamped web items throughout this period, and Zotero always used to sort the reference lists in chronological order accordin…
-
Thanks! No improvement, though. I went to the style repository, hit 'install' on American Psychological Association 6th Edition (rev of 2011-08-01 06:01:03), then restarted Firefox and LibreOffice and switched the test file back and forth between…
-
Here's some random sample data tested and confirmed to misbehave in APA -- I suppose you could use any other set of entries with day-month-year datestamps. APA sorts the set in order of appearance in the text. Chicago Author-Date sorts it correctly.
-
For what it's worth: Chicago Author-Date handles a longish piece with a 100+ refs just fine, but when I switch it back to APA, it's all over the place again (almost all the references in this piece are date-stamped web postings, so the deviation fro…
-
APA. I was going to generalise from the fact that Harvard Author-Date messes up as well, but I've just discovered that Chicago Author-Date handles my pared-down test file correctly.
-
Version 2.0.3.r6640 sorts APA correctly.
-
Zotero 2.0.6 makes a mess of APA now: Smith, C. (1997, May 31) Smith, C. (1998, February 13) Smith, C. (2003, March 10) Smith, C. (1994a, December) Smith, C. (1994b, August 31) Smith, C. (1997a, October 7) Smith, C. (1997b, October 8) Smith, C. (199…

OOo Writer currently supports exporting a word-processed document to MediaWiki source, but the output fails to format the document's citations as inline Wikipedia citation templates, rendering them as a flat References list at the bottom of the outp…
-
Read the Fine Manual. Once you've set up Turabian citation style and configured any given document to use it, Zotero should do the right thing automatically, provided the database entries do have access dates.

Bdarcus -- I'm citing more than 52 Web posts by the same author within the same year. My original feature request some time ago resulted in an implementation of year suffix disambiguation that currently supports up to 52 citations by the same author…
-
I'm looking for a straightforward way to get word-processed work with Zotero-managed citations onto the web. For this to happen with a rendering engine based on Ron Jerome's Bibliography module, there'd need to be a way to export from the word proce…

For instance: OOo supports export as MediaWiki code but doesn't put bibliographical data into Wikipedia citation templates when exporting. If it did, and if, say, Drupal could be kitted out with a MediaWiki renderer, that would make for some fairly …
