5.0.182 is the current connector version
-
@emilianoeheyns -- any ideas? The above looks right to me
-
Could you screenshot the terminal for running that command & paste it here? Actually, run the whole three line block from the documentation
-
What's the exact error message? Wed want it in the original language if other than English. A screenshot will work
-
Im pretty sure EBSCO removes duplicates (which you get when searching multiple databases) when exporting to RIS that very likely explains the discrepancy. In every previous instance of this, the RIS file had the exact number of items Zotero imported
-
adding isolated parentheses as affixes tends to confuse the processor. You should put a group around and then set the parentheses on the group, so something like
-
I'm not sure I understand why item notes aren't an option for this, i.e. a note on the item to which the PDF is attached -- that's what they are designed for.
-
It really depends on the exact scenarios but you'd basically want to create a sort macro that sorts by item type, so something like And then likely have this as a sort key right after the author. You might also want to sort by the tit…
-
no, there is no CSL variable (only a locator, which can't be used in the bibliography) for columns currently. Not the first time this comes up, though.
-
I think this could be done, though it'd require a fair amount of customization. It'd also necessarily have to apply to all chapters -- you couldn't mix this with more 'traditional' chapter citations
-
Right, that's what I would usually do and I don't think it's that hard to explain, but here, the delimiter between URL and rest should be a comma, but absent the URL it should end in a period. If you set suffix="." on the group without the URL you e…
-
That all looks correctly: your quota is unlimited, your current usage just above 300MB. Are you actually getting an insufficient storage error message? It's possible you're actually just using 300mb right now.
-
This very specific set up is actually kind of tricky to do. I think the easiest way to do it is to define the period in the URL macro, so rewrite that as And then switch the with the tag that follows it every time it appears, …

CSL -- the language that defines the citation styles used by Zotero -- has the item type "collection" which would be the most suitable. You can designate an item of any Zotero item type as a collection for citation purposeby putting Type: collection…
-
No, sorry. I understand why someone might want this (e.g. when using Zotero as a pure bookmarking tool), but it is pretty uncommon: in most scenarios people want the best metadata Zotero can provide, which is what it defaults to.

Yes, just add it manually.
-
You don't need those instructions for Chromebooks, though. The beta is available through the same channels, just by replacing "zotero" with "zotero-beta" in the last line of the code, so sudo apt install zotero-beta
-
Well yes, you can do this for the style globally, but then you can't use traditional parenthetical citations (Smith, 1776) with the style anymore. (It also looks like you broke the delimiter between year and page numbers in how you did this -- not…

Run through these & provide all information in the final step if the others don't fix this: https://www.zotero.org/support/troubleshooting_translator_issues
-
See https://www.zotero.org/support/reporting_problems We'd need more information than that
-
Zoplicate only does this after importing, though. There is a pretty old ticket to have the connector do this, but it has never been implemented and I recall it being surprisingly complicated: https://github.com/zotero/zotero/issues/1007
-
The entirety of Chicago 14.10 can't be implemented in Zotero/CSL I'm afraid -- it's also not something that's going to happen any time soon. (FWIW, it's a "may" not a "should" provision in the Manual, though it's clearly preferred).
-
Oh, right, that changed, they now capitalize prepositions of 5 letters or more. We'll need to think about what we do with that -- I'm inclined to think we have CSL follow current Chicago style (i.e. 18th edition). It's a fairly trivial change of rem…
-
That's incorrect. Chicago title case lowercases all. prepositions, regardless of length, so lowercase "between" is correct P.s. No, CSL only has one title casing setting which follows Chicago. There are other rules out there, most notably AP headl…
-
Exactly, yes. In my research group, we have a slack channel were people post things they'd like added to Zotero and then have our graduate assistants do semi-regular sweeps and add those items. That obviously won't work if people are actively writi…
-
It's in the General tab of the preferences, right at the top. (For future reference, that's OS 15.6, not iOS, which is the operating system for ipads and iphones -- the iOS app isn't localized)
-
No, not technically. Speaking from experience, though, having too many people who are able to edit a library tends to not work well -- someone is bound to mess up and delete items or whole collections etc.
-
APA has some of its own guidance that follows Bluebook and points people to the Bluebook for anything else, yes.
-
This should still work. The "Add File" option from the toolbar does the same thing: https://s3.amazonaws.com/zotero.org/images/forums/u2433/ckwmckq1k7rfwqdywju3.png If that's greyed out, you're looking at a group that doesn't allow adding files or…
