Like any site with reasonably good CSS, all Zotero pages, including the web library, look good with standard dark mode add-ons for your browser. I don't think individual switches for every site make sense for dark mode. (I'd tend to agree on more pr…

Sorry, yes, it's misclassified for me to, but no translator errors

Odd, works for me (using atypon on Firefox with Zotero 9) @dstillman what's in the debug?
-
That style installs just fine -- if you click on the "Raw" link with a browser in which the Zotero connector is installed and with Zotero open, it will prompt you to install it. (ACS asked us to remove all ACS styles except the standard one since th…

We always need examples, even if nothing works.

Fairly certain Zotero cannot. It's possible it could be done by a plugin, but doesn't seem very likely and there haven't been any other reports: 126146 is about a public group getting messed up by a human user. 130975 is about citations in Word gett…

We always need sample URLs, exactly as you see them.

There has never been a feature in Zotero to enrich or update metadata. Retrieve metadata is a feature to retrieve metadata for a top level PDF (and that feature hasn't changed for several years). To enrich metadata, have a look at the Linter for Zo…

Sorry, that was referring to the other ISBNs from the linked thread, like 9798299322149 (which also currently don't import even though it's on worldcat). I suspect there's something wrong with the last ISBN -- there's not a single google search it f…
-
(well, it's on Open Worldcat, but that's increasingly locked down, so people get more unsuccessful lookups than they used to. Google books has an API and actually pretty good metadata, but it's heavily rate limited, so I don't think it's usable her…

- more generally, more robust support for links from outside Zotero to particular items. It seems like it ought to be easier to right-click on a book or paper or whatever in Zotero and get some kind of URL -- either `zotero://somethingsomething` or …

Just to be clear -- the PDF wouldn't get linked to an existing item, it would create a new parent item to which it is attached, so to check that it's not working you'd have to continue seeing the PDF as a top-level item. Is that really the case? And…
-
I assume this is about the classic view no longer being available. 1. You can just navigate the main Zotero interface and select items you want to insert. Those items will be available in the word processor dialog at the top 2. You can also switch t…

Revert any changes you made to the sqlite directly (i.e., restore from a previous backup). That's a recipe for disaster all around and Zotero has various scripting options (API, local JavaScript API), that allow you to handle this without touching t…

I mean -- you can't have a journal article without a journal. This is a report (and citing it like a book seems fine, too)
-
(I don't think there's much of a chance of adding this to the word processor add-in -- it'd just be too much going on there: either it'd overload the interface, or, if you just allowed adding by DOIs from the search bar, would confuse search & a…
-
Could you provide steps to reproduce? Where exactly are you merging the duplicates and when does the error occur?
-
you can add sort="descending" to the sort condition, see the example in the specs.
-
Could you give us what you are currently getting and what you would like? There are lots of variants of Chicago Style and I don't quite follow here. Do note, though, that if you want specific pages to appear in text Chicago style, you'd typically a…

The 2019 answer is still applicable -- if anything isn't clear, you'd have to say what.

Both the dataserver and the web library are already open sourced: https://github.com/zotero/dataserver https://github.com/zotero/web-library Zotero doesn't provide support for either, but people do deploy at least the dataserver locally.
-
There is not cache -- storage is the attached files and images in notes in your Zotero library, nothing else. There's no automatic optimization possible -- if there's something you don't need, you'll have to identify that yourself and delete it; obv…
-
You can already specify a timestamp as a 'locator' (which is where CSL has it), which is the pinpoint you specify for a specific citation. You'd do this in the word processor plugin: https://s3.amazonaws.com/zotero.org/images/forums/u2433/lrsnl9bfxh…

There are many citation styles that do this differently -- including the majority of author date styles available for Zotero -- so if you don't need to/mean to use APA, it'd be easy to find one that only adds initials where they are strictly necessa…
-
That's correct APA style. Different first authors with the same last name always get initials in text to distinguish them
-
That's correct APA style so that references are easily found in an alphabetically sorted bibliography
-
What specifically are you asking about? Zotero is licensed under an open source license, so no one is selling licenses.
-
ISBNs are imported via library catalogs (there's no central database of ISBNs like there [mostly] is for DOIs) and I'm guessing libraries don't tend to hold and catalog these. In this particular case, there's very little structure information on th…
