Thanks.

Thanks. I'll post back here if, after reviewing what's involved, I decide to start coding this. Yes I agree ideally any functionality should be mirrored in both the LibreOffice and Word plugin. However as a matter of process it might be that I'd g…

It it just a matter of the priorities of labour among the core devs? I mean if I, or another volunteer, did the work might you accept a pull request?

Thanks adamsmith! On markup, thanks: I've got it. And I've seen that pre and h2 works. With blockquote (as you mention) those are probably the four main html tags of interest in a forum context. So that all looks fine even though I'd agree that mar…

Thanks bwiernik. Yes that is what I currently do: use a pseudo-group-by macro as the first key under . I also have a pseudo-group-by-tag macro as the first child under . So the output looks like (I output no tag for general items) ... Law - Statu…

At github/citation-style-language/zotero-bits I've added the issue: Request CSL exposure of the words prefix e.g. "see, e.g., "; "compare " and relevant change to Zotero. #80. In summary, a request to have CSL expose the "see, e.g,. " part in (se…

If this were a feature request ... would it make it on to the todo list? Specifically, for the Zotero MS Word Plugin, for an entry that has a URL have three options. Something like: 1. Do nothing (as happens now) 2. Whereever a style shows a url (…

Thanks Dan. For the sake of others who might not know, until native support for custom fields in Zotero, a work around is to use the zotero-better-bibtex plugin. Essentially you can use Zotero's Extra field for your custom fields, which zotero-bett…

Does the new architecture of Zotero 5.0 make custom fields more likely?
-
Thanks Dan. Given the complication I'll take your advice and hold off.
-
I take it there is no way, from my end, to readily make a 5.0 data directory (standalone and extension) independent from a 4.0 (standalone and extension) data directory. E.g. From a 4.0 install choosing [Tools > Preferences > Advanced > Fil…
-
Dan, could you confirm that if one has Zotero 4.0 standalone and the Zotero 4.0 firefox extension installed then installing Zotero 5.0 standalone (I'm on Windows 10) shouldn't cause any problems ... 4.0 and 5.0 can be installed side by side? Thanks…
-
Thanks for your second @antonyupward. Personally I'd want Zotero to have it's own field for setting the output datetime format, rather than pick it up from the OS (although the Zotero setting could pick up the format from the OS by default, on inst…
-
Yeah, there'd be lots to think about when implementing custom fields. Good news that it's on the list. Thanks again!
-
Thanks Adam. At this point I'd suggest taking each of my specific, bulleted, suggestions in my last post and evaluating whether: * They have any merit; and if so * Are light enough to warrant implementing. If none of the suggested name changes ei…
-
Thanks Adam. Might that speak in favour of support for custom fields? In any case, without further changes to Zotero, I can get by with Zotero-Better-Bibtex for custom field support.
-
Emiliano has just supplied the solution to do this in Zotero-better-bibtex (BBT). I've documented the solution at: https://github.com/retorquere/zotero-better-bibtex/wiki/Scripting-examples#custom-field-order It works beautifully.
-
Cleaning up the confusion In summary I think the confusion entails a lack of conceptual clarity between different pieces of functionality, in virtue of the way this is presented in the UI, and the names (or lack of names) for things. My suggestion…
-
Dan, thanks for your extensive reply. And thanks very much for your considerable effort, with others, in producing a great piece of software. It has a suite of superb features. At the moment the text is atrocious. That's nice. ... I hope you…
-
Thanks Adam. Yeah, personally I'm so far only interested in origdate. So your priorities happen to match mine in this regard. Yes adjusting the vocabulary in Zotero is relatively costly, given that it has to translate to multiple vocabularies. But…
-
I'm referencing here two requests for new fields, that I've posted about elsewhere in the Zotero forums: New Zotero Fields: 'Shorthand' and 'Shorthand Intro', as supported in biblatex. New Zotero Fields: orig fields as supported in biblatex.

Thanks Rintze. Yes without looking into the detail presumably upgrading the underlying CMS will either take care of the issue instantly or better facilitate https://forums.zotero.org developers to take care of the issue.
