  • But if you have a local folder that is connected to the WebDAV share, you could convert the links to local paths, which would then import. If you want to go that route and need more help, we would need to see one of the BibTeX records and know the p…
  • OK, that record looks clean. I cannot reproduce the box in front of "al-Kuntī" with CMoS in Word, but I am on Windows, so this could be Mac-specific. If you can reproduce this in a new Word document and be certain that you're inserting that same re…
  • Unfortunately, when I got back to word and put in a citation using these newly created sources, the boxes are still there!! There's a chance that you re-inserted an old reference that was stored in Word. Could you try this in a fresh Word document?
  • Just after the restart there was a pop-up. I can't remember exactly what it said, but it was approximately: "you have made changes to this citation, would you like Zotero to save these changes and prevent you from making any further changes," and I …
  • So did you try editing the name in Zotero? Edit: Just to clarify, the boxes are shown when a particular character cannot be displayed with a selected font. Usually this will happen either when the document encoding is selected incorrectly (which I …
  • There appears to be a "Right-to-left embedding" character at the beginning of that string, probably coming from the last name field (?): "U+202Bal-KuntU+012B, " In Zotero, place the cursor to the right of "a" in "al" for that name and press Delete …
  • @Dan can you see in the reports where the Zotero data directory is? Those errors don't make sense with anything other than corrupt translator files. We've never seen this behavior with the DB transaction errors... Are there other add-ons installed?
  • Yes, this check is only performed for JSTOR. We could perform a similar check for all DOIs using the CrossRef RA look-up tool (e.g. http://doi.crossref.org/doiRA/10.6220/joq.2012.19(1).01 ), but in general I don't think this should be necessary. DOI…
  • Could you check the encoding of the document? File -> Options -> Advanced -> General -> Web Options -> Encoding. What does "Save the document as" say? Can you copy and paste the contents of the footnote on http://gist.github.com and …
  • For further reference, the comments on the apa style blog: http://blog.apastyle.org/apastyle/2011/10/how-to-determine-whether-a-periodical-is-paginated-by-issue.html Apparently the issue requirement was changed in 2007 and then reverted back to bein…
  • You will also want to purge storage online. See https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/31207/can-i-sync-only-records-and-leave-out-attachments-between-local-and-online-library/?Focus=168097#Comment_168097
  • To be fair, we were already doing this (the code was already there), there was just a bug due to an assumption that DOIs were not being exported in RIS format (which apparently has changed). So this was a fairly easy fix. Thanks for reporting!
  • There is nothing particular about a DOI that makes it real or fake (e.g. unlike ISBN numbers, which have check digits and can be easily validated). However, "real" DOIs, in order to be useful (this applies to ISBNs too), have to be registered with a…
  • Yes, you will be able to add/edit references in the group if you have editing permissions (but seeing how you are the owner of that group, it should certainly be the case).
  • You have to explicitly delete a reference for Zotero to delete it during sync. Otherwise references are merged (i.e. references that are online, but not on your local client will appear on the local client and vice versa) So, no, if you sync, your …
  • This should be fixed now. You can update your translators via Preferences -> General -> Update Now. This was actually fixed before, but it looks like JSTOR itself is now exporting the fake DOIs as real DOIs in their RIS export format.
  • I have done this online, and I wondered if I needed to sync this with my standalone library? Yes, you need to do this on your local Zotero client. Zotero website does not have nearly as many features as the local client. If I did this would I get ri…
  • The Windows/Samba share only gets mounted at /run/user/some_user/gvfs/... when you navigate to it in Nautilus. My comment above was a suggestion to mount the remote share on boot and have it always be available. In either case (mounted via nautilus…

  • You can use zotero bookmarklet on IE ( http://www.zotero.org/downloadbookmarklet ) along with either Zotero Standalone or zotero.org interface
  • This has been requested quite a few times, but here's one of the more complete replies from adamsmith: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/9298/2/apa-6th-new-style/#Item_15 IMO, the "requirement" to omit issue numbers is quite ridiculous from the …
  • Besides this is still the only way to go, that I know of, if you have multiple computers on the same subnet needing to access the Zotero db. You're not trying to access the same database at the same time from differnt computers, are you? The problem…
  • If you just want to import the PDF into Zotero, you don't need to open it in Firefox (though you should be able to anyway). You can drag the file into the Zotero window.
  • it's very easy to convert JSTOR URLs to DOIs by taking the numeric component after stable/ and prepending 10.2307/ which CrossRef will then resolve. The URL is included in the first page of each JSTOR PDF. We can probably incorporate that without en…
  • I'm not exactly clear on what "the problem" is with Foxit. What are you trying to accomplish?
  • Your comment from the ZotFile thread:Given how quickly web pages change -- and also how useful PDF snapshots are thank to Zotfile -- it would almost always be preferable to retain a PDF instead of a snapshot. My current process is to capture a snaps…
  • You may be able to use frames instead of text boxes, which should allow you to insert citations. http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word-help/the-difference-between-a-text-box-and-a-frame-HP005189333.aspx
  • Depending on how much effort you are willing to put in, you can either join Zotero Finnish translation team on transifex (https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/zotero/) and submit the fixes there, or you can list the mistakes here on the forum and so…
