It may surprise you to learn that I'm also a historian. Anyway, I hardly was asking you to "fix it yourself" since a) it's not actually broken and b) there is a community of developers with a wide range of skills that would be willing to assist you…

As part of our future plans to revamp our data model, this functionality will eventually be available (in the coming months, but not immediately).
-
Looks great!
-
We have a new Open WorldCat translator in the works. It will be available within 24 hours.
-
Crashing and 3 hour import/export operations are definitely not normal behavior. From a citation standpoint, it's worth noting that what you desire (full first reference, repeated references abbreviated, bibliography) is technically not Chicago Man…

hAndrew: The bad news is not just that Google displays initials as you describe; they're also generating names in the same format in their RIS and other citation output. There's no good way to attack this problem without upsetting our many other …
-
Derek, Bad news: we have no good way to store the "et al." Your best bet would be to find out who the other authors are. Good news: "et al" has nothing to do with the import failure. We have just updated our MARC translator to handle accented ch…

aldo and eugenia: I took a look at the ISIS system yesterday. Unfortunately ISIS doesn't appear to provide any neatly formatted metadata. Unless I am mistaken, a translator for ISIS OPACs will involve a text scraper, which is the most problematic …

circeus: We invite you to join the localization effort underway at BabelZilla. Please establish an account at http://www.babelzilla.org and contact the lead French translator, Calimero988. If you move quickly to update the French strings, we may b…

circeus- 1) You can manually override your locale by typing about:config into the Firefox location bar. Then set general.useragent.locale to something other than fr-FR, such as en-US. 2) We invite you to join the localization effort underway at B…

1. I'm not experiencing any problems saving multiple results. Could you please provide us with a search query that's failing? 2. There does seem to be a problem with item type recognition. WorldCat tags its items with COinS, and they are not indi…
-
Thanks for bringing this issue to our attention. This problem is now fixed, and our RIS translator now supports all current Zotero item types.
-
I'll look into the problem noted by vav, but in general I do not encounter any difficulties saving Google Scholar resources. Try, for example: http://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&lr=&q=france&btnG=Search http://scholar.google.com/s…
-
I'm not getting any error saving search results from ScienceDirect (Elsevier). Could you please indicate exactly what search query you're using? While you're at it, please ensure that your translators are up to date by going into Zotero's preferen…

UPenn has been functional for several weeks. Closing this thread.
-
lutra: Thanks for identifying these problems. I have updated the Blackwell Synergy and SpringerLink translators, and your Zotero client will automatically download them within the next 24 hours. I could only replicate your problem with ScienceDir…
-
It's neither a bug nor a missing feature, but it's certainly something relatively easy to add. I've just updated the translator, and it will be available tonight.
-
Thanks for bringing this issue to our attention. The problem is that Nature's RIS file only includes the journal abbreviation tag (JA) and not the full journal title (note that your example does populate the "Journal Abbr" field in Zotero). I will…

The latest version of the PubMed translator resolves nartj's problem. Closing this discussion.
-
Bruce -- "Reproduced in" a book or a web page is what you would do with your hypothetical interview. That said, in our model a "Communication" is really just a "Document" with the addition of a specified recipient or recipients. So maybe we shoul…
-
Matthias- Josh and I agree completely on re: typing items to reduce the total number of item types. As you note, periodicals could be collapsed, as could be dictionary/encyclopedia, etc. As for "ancillary" items, we think it's important not to al…
-
CoD- "Reproduced in" is not an item type. It's just a UI element pointing at a back-end association between one item and an another. Functionally, this means that before entering a letter, you'll first want to enter the book where the letter is re…

You might want to look at Trac.
-
Thanks for your comment. We are well aware of this problem, and we already have plans to solve it in a post-1.0 release. If you're interested in participating in the development process, please see our developer documentation.
-
Ah, now I see what you mean. The problem you describe actually has nothing to do with archival sources per se. It is precisely the same citation problem posed by citing multiple chapters from an edited volume, where one would likewise not want to …
-
If you click the green button with the plus sign to add a new item, you'll find that Zotero supports letters, interviews, and archival manuscripts, among many other document types. Rest assured that we're well aware of the needs of historians. Zot…

Thanks for following up on this issue with the library. Please take a look at one of our supported Voyager sites – UPenn uses Voyager OPAC – such as the Library of Congress or UCLA. At the bottom of search result and individual record pages, you'll…
-
It sounds like you're talking about an annotated bibliography, and we plan to add that functionality in the near future (#504).
-
What Dan meant is that it's fixed in our development branch. The fix will roll out with our next release (RC1) this week.
-
We are working on highlighting and annotation right now and hope to have them ready this week for RC1.
