In a different thread, the suggestion was made, "I think we should map both base fields [author] and the actual item-specific fields [director] to CSL, so that both are available." (https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/27878/chicago-styles-director/…

Being not an expert, it seems like I'm wrong on the CMoS rule (they do want you to list as many authors as possible, though that seems quite ridiculous and pointless). In any case, I don't think this really pertains to MLA. In the MLA manual (7th e…

I'm not the expert on this, but my understanding is that a, b, etc. disambiguation has nothing to do with identifying author lists as identical, but simply guiding the reader to the correct entry in the bibliography where this would otherwise be amb…

if you're looking in your Zotero data directory, look for "elsevier-vancouver.csl" file (probably inside the "hidden" directory). That's what you want to modify (Journal of Emergency Medicine simply links to that). As a side note, modifying elsevie…

Citation-Number style has been added to the repository: https://www.zotero.org/styles?q=cse Feel free to report any errors you find.
-
Then I don't think it would be correct to do what you want to do. The "---" doesn't really indicate that it's the same person, it just means that it's the same name. You may be able to trick Zotero into thinking these are distinct names by figuring …

Could you include middle names?
-
The directory that opens when you click "Show Data Directory" is the "active data directory". (I'll clarify this in the documentation) Could you list all the zotero.sqlite, zotero.sqlite.bak, etc. files that are in your "Old Firefox Profile" folder…

if you do need to email it, send it to support@zotero.org and include a link to this thread

I think, basically, the rule is when there is no author, don't substitute with editor (or anything else), just omit. Seems like a trivial fix, so maybe adamsmith can just make it directly.
-
I'd be willing to do it if I could find any documentation on their JSON format (I haven't been able to find it yet). OTOH, the quality of the metadata is not that great (e.g only years for dates, sometimes missing pages, abbreviated journal titles,…

Should be fixed now. Update your translators via Preferences -> General -> Update Now, restart browser, and try again. Thanks for reporting!
-
I know papership works with WebDAV, I'm not sure about zotpad
-
Using Google drive as webdav provider is ok and it will create a bunch of zip files (that is normal behavior). You should _never_ place your Zotero data directory inside a third party sync folder (base directory is probably unrelated to what you wa…
-
I'm working on adding that to the repository. In the mean time continue using whichever style is close. I'll let you know once it's ready.
-
It is possible that you have more than one faulty citation (it's also possible that all of the citations got corrupted). So once you find one of the citations, correct it, and go through the steps again. If you find that you need to do this more tha…
-
You can try copying the contents of the "storage" folder to your "storage" folder in the current Zotero data directory.
-
See https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/files_not_syncing Also, which directions were you following that recommended restoring from server? (The ones in the linked page say Reset File Sync History)
-
Is this affecting only one document? Is everything working ok in a new document? If other documents are not affected, see if this helps https://www.zotero.org/support/word_processor_plugin_troubleshooting#debugging_broken_documents (you already did …
-
Is this for a particular journal? (otherwise, you may have to edit the citation style)
-
Please submit a Report ID as per https://www.zotero.org/support/reporting_problems

What probably happened is that when you re-downloaded Zotero, you synced it with your online database, which pulled down your library, but not your file attachments. This might have been because you didn't have file sync enabled before, you were usi…
-
Can you see your library here on zotero.org under https://www.zotero.org/hbrphd/items/ ? If no, then your old Zotero setup was either not set up to sync or was experiencing issues (or you were using a different account). If you do see your items on…

Just one note: if you do reset translators, make sure not to close Firefox/Standalone immediately after. If you do, translators get deleted, but don't have enough time to get restored. Wait a minute before restarting (we should fix this).
-
(After I wrote all of this, I realized that there might be something easier you can do that could provide enough information. In Zotero Standalone, under the Gear menu, are you able to click "Report Errors..." and then submit the error report? Post …
-
I can "re-open" Standalone in Firefox even when Standalone is already openSorry, this is a bit ambiguous. There's no such thing as "Standalone in Firefox". When you click the Zotero icon in Firefox you would either see a Zotero pane opening in the b…
-
So you're saying that when Zotero Standalone is open, you are able to click the "Z" (or "Zotero") icon in Firefox and open Zotero Standalone (or does Zotero pane open inside Firefox)?
-
What happens if you try to open Zotero in Firefox when Zotero Stadalone is open? Do you get an error?
-
Neither of those is a note-based style. They're all numeric styles, meaning that they place a number in the text to indicate citations with a full bibliography inserted where you choose (usually at the end) using the "Insert Bibliography" button. I…

Updating metadata/attachments of existing entries is not currently implemented, but is on the roadmap and will likely be added sooner rather than later (say, within next few years).
