I understand distaste for Bluebook, but this is pretty straightforward. It's just internal to the initial cite, and was fine before this change. Did you want me to look at the link or is that what should be ignored?
-
adamsmith, that would be great. How can I get it fixed? I notice that using MLA for cases actually includes the court!
-
Oops!!! Yes, meant there is a field for Court in the Item Type: Case template, and the output in question is Bluebook
-
Related problem: Although there is a field for cases, it does not seem to appear in the footnote output. This is a fairly big problem, both because the info is important to readers and because the court is used to determine citation order. Any chanc…

I have now -thanks! But still a bit odd (to me) that even when the trash is empty I need to do this to make one unused tag disappear. Oh well, not a big problem
-
Thanks!!

"Though I'm unclear on why you're calling them "unused" tags... Unused tags are indeed purged automatically. And if they're only linked to one item you can delete them very quickly, and then Zotero will purge them. " Usually they are purged, bu…

Hi I tried to kluge the omission of the court name by adding them to the date, since they belong in the same parenthetical. For example, in stead of 2009 as a date I say "CA9 2009" Zotero somehow seems to be extracting the date only?!?! An…

Thanks fbennet. I haven't been able to get this to work, though I will come back later. If someone else succeed, please post. Isis

Hi If I followed the earlier discussion correctly, there was a decision made not to include court names in case cites , though BB usually requires this, because there is an exception for the Supreme Court that would be hard to implement. Person…

Now that I have looked at the BB code, I have some general comments.(I am a very amateur coder, know only what I need for statistical progamming, no csl). I will try to brief but will be happy to expand if helpful. As I understand it, the core of …

Hi, When I cite a statute, I can see only the title and the date, without the Code or Code Number fields. I notice an earlier discussion on this. Is this under construction or am I using the feature wrong? Thanks! Isis
-
I'm not sure that there is a good reason, but it's clear that for short subsequent references it's always either short names or short titles. Personally I would never come up with BB style if asked to design from scratch I would speculate that…
-
That's right. As I recall, the BB only requires a short title in supras when there are 2 by the same author in the same footnote, thus guaranteeing confusion. However, it always allows a short title, so my approach isn't a huge deviation. From a st…

Copy and paste seemed to do it--thanks
-
Well, I'm always the last to know :) http://gist.github.com/296971 Hope this works! The only thing I (intentionally)changed was the line of code described in my last post plus your suggestion about dropping periods.
-
I used the amazing new do-itself-yourself features to solve the last two issues I raised. It works just as I want in new documents. The only problem is that it won't update old documents. I modified the citation rules to insert short titles instead …
-
Wow, thanks -that editor is amazing. Is it new or did I just miss it? In any case, it also allows me to do my drag and drop, replace the period with a semi within the editor, and the period doesn't come back when I refresh. Thanks!!
-
I did not realise that you weren't supposed to drag and drop, since you could in the earlier version of BB, which did not put in the punctuation for you. I personally find it MUCH quicker to drag and drop than having to edit the whole citation. …
-
Hi I just updated to the most recent BB, and I seem to be having a related problem that an earlier user had with periods at the end of cites. When I refresh, I keep getting periods in string cites that don't belong, right before the semi colon…
-
I don't know if this is possible, but this is one of several issues for which I would be happy simply to have some sort of a manual override of the default feature. In other words, I have to go through the document by hand to find confusing cites an…
-
Hi I was wondering how to handle certain law review and other scholarly citations. The default for the second time you cite an article uses the authors' name Laurens and Walker, supra note 10 But if Laurens and Walker have written a t…
-
Then I propose changing the very first sentence to the following summary: A Zotero library is made up of “items”. Items can be either "parent" (top-level) items, or "child" items. Parent items can take several forms: they can be either regula…
-
My main concern was to add an explicit definition for "parent" and "top level" "The foundational elements in most Zotero libraries, regular items take the form of reference types—books, journal articles, manuscripts—and have associated bibliog…
-
I'd actually seen this, but wasn't sure because the terms "parent" and "top level" aren;t defined-thought they might be different categories. Again, I'm no doubt overly literal, but I'd suggest something like: "The foundational elements in most…
-
OK, if child=attachment that answers my question. (maybe for us literal minded folks the documentation should give a definition!) I think I will solve this problem by making them all related documents thanks!! Isis
-
Great idea about collections- I had abandoned them in favor of tags but you are right-they work well together I only have about 1300 items . The slowness is most noticeable when I go to insert a new cite. I wonder if part of the problem is the…
-
HI I personally am considering 2 libraries for a couple of reasons (1) The sheer volume of my stuff is making Zotero run SLOOOWWWLY. (2) I use academic and case law research. The Tags I want for these are totally different and I love …

I too would like this.

D'oh. Sorryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! Amazon works, but still have intermittent problems with translators on the gated sites. Will post the debug output when I get a problem. Thanks, and sorry again Isis
