OK, I see what happened. Looks like there's a bit of a bug. You should have probably gotten an error message from Zotero when converting from Chicago to Vancouver. Something that says "Zotero experienced an error updating your document..." To fix t…

So that's what the NSF Reviewer is! I was quite confused when I saw that item type in Zotero code.
-
{ ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION { ... is for an intext citation. It will be a rather large block of code. The bibliography should be below that. Make sure you are looking at the right place. The error you are getting seems to indicate that we're e…

Adding DOIs to almost all item types is planned and is tentatively scheduled for Zotero 4.2 release, but there is no ETA yet. Thanks for reporting.
-
That seems to be working ok for me. Or do you mean that it adds " | Bloomberg New Energy Finance" to the end of the title? That would be expected, because that is the actual title of the page and there is no way for Zotero to know otherwise.
-
It would be hard to tell at this point, but clearly the sync had stopped a while ago on your old hard drive. It could be caused by a number of issues, but almost all of them would have given you some sort of indicator near the sync arrow at the top …

No, unfortunately that website is still unsupported and it's unlikely that we will add support for it. Sabin Americana does not seem to provide metadata in any structured format, so it would be quite difficult for us to fetch it. It would technicall…

Where are your references missing from? Are you looking at Zotero Standalone, Zotero pane in Firefox or zotero.org webpage?
-
The way that Zotero is meant to work with webpage citations is that you right-click on the page and select Zotero -> Create web page item from current page (in Firefox there is a "create item from current page" button in Zotero toolbar). It will …
-
See the last step on that page. You need to provide us with more info. Use the Amazon page to submit a report.
-
Are your translators up to date? Check via Preferences -> General -> Update Now I thought we fixed this. I'll double check a bit later when I have access.
-
You should upgrade Zotero to 4.0.12 (current version) then see if the error persists Edit: added link
-
I have found that are often times when using the import PDF and retrieve meta data features result in the item retrieving the wrong article info (frequently wrong item is from biomedical work hmm...) or it retrieves nothing at all. Not being able to…
-
Unfortunately nothing that you can do atm. We're waiting for Dan to take a look at the Report ID you submitted, which should give us a lot more information. Only the official Zotero developers have access to those reports. I think Dan just missed th…
-
If you have the PDF on hand, you can drag it into Zotero and either (A) right-click "Retrieve Metadata", (B) find it on google scholar, use the URL bar icon to import one of the search results (which does what you do automatically), and then drag th…
-
I am just wondering if I went about this incorrectly, i.e. the saved page would just be the search result page and not have access to any of the links. When you "create item from webpage" you are telling Zotero that you want to create a bibliographi…
-
Can you confirm that the URL bar icon does not appear on this page: http://www.amazon.com/The-Wealth-Nations-Adam-Smith/dp/1604598913 ? Also, go through http://www.zotero.org/support/troubleshooting_translator_issues
-
Can you post the RIS file on a website like http://gist.github.com and link to it here? Also, are you aware of the URL bar icon for importing? http://www.zotero.org/support/getting_stuff_into_your_library#web_translators This will usually get you m…
-
I think the best way to handle this would be to introduce another tab on the right hand side and have all collections displayed for a selected item. It would also make it easy to navigate to those collections or remove items from said collections. …
-
Did you "Delete collection..." or did you "Delete collection and items..."? Folders in Zotero are more like playlists. If you just "Delete collection...", that will not actually delete any of your Zotero items. They should always appear under My Li…
-
In general that should never happen (stray files that is), but this could be a good troubleshooting tool. Do let us know if you find any stray files.
-
Deleting the bibliography should not touch your in-text citations at all. If you press Alt+F9, does the old bibliography turn into something like {ADDIN ZOTERO_BIBL {"custom":[]} CSL_BIBLIOGRAPHY} Edit: you can press Alt+F9 to return to the previo…
-
Are you using Zotero in Firefox or Zotero Standalone? If you're using Firefox, the plugin should not have downloaded. It should have prompted you to install instead. If you're using Zotero Standalone, reinstall the plugin via Preferences -> Cite …
-
This is most likely a problem with your workplace's network. You should talk to your IT department. Can you load http://www.crossref.org ?
-
I'm asking one of the Zotero developers (Dan) to take a look at the error reports you submitted. Only Dan and Simon have access to them. You don't need to worry about any of that.
-
As far as we're aware (and assuming the hang you were experiencing was due to what adamsmith said), this only affects importing from files (perhaps also clipboard). So unless you start running into hang-ups again while importing files, you don't nee…
-
Dan, could you take a look at the reports?
-
Just to be clear, I think the phrasing for that action is exactly right. I just found it difficult to locate among all the other menu options. The menu icons really help though.
-
This is _exactly_ the reason I submitted the patch to add icons to context menu entries. Unfortunately, I think the icons will only appear in Windows and not Mac (I'm not sure about Linux) in order to stay consistent with Mac's overall look and feel.
-
ugh... I should have checked that more closely. Zotero grabs the metadata from their RIS export (RIS link in the right column), which is actually quite incorrect. I'll see if we can fix it for them.
