  • Hi Dan, Yes, thanks for the suggestion re: turning off the auto sync. However, it has synced and my notes have been lost. However, I'm pretty sure now that any of my backups no longer have the data that I was wanting to recover. I've now r…
  • Ok, so something funny happened here. I restored the last automatic backup as you said and when I did that some of my notes came back (obviously the ones that had been written before the backup) so I was very glad. However, I went and 'cli…
  • Hi Dan, I'll look into this when I get back to my desk in the morning. My only concern is that I've restarted firefox, and my computer, since this has happened since I was hoping that it was some cached data that had got 'stuck' and that a…
  • ... or even just 'select all' (ctrl-a) and do a word count and pay attention to the count of the current selection. Very easy to work around, but if this is a bug in the beta of Zotero, I thought it would be good to inform the developers.
  • fantastic. Thanks for your help.
  • Yes, I've looked at that test case and it appears that the current processor should do what we expect. Since it doesn't, what can I do or send to you to help this bug get fixed up? re the college. I don't think that this problem will be a deal …
  • Don't worry about the back and forth, I'm just glad for your help and effort. If the processor should work (and by your description it should) then the problem must be in my stylesheet. Currently (with the newest beta of Zotero) when I put in refer…
  • That's fine. I was just hoping that it might work, but for my usage it isn't a 'deal breaker'. It's not too hard to put use the Editor to insert the short title manually. I might keep the code in my stylesheet and look forward to the time when…
  • Yep, that's spot on - the first option would be closer to correct (the difference is that the date is not needed). Daniel (The other difference, though I don't know how relevant it is for this discussion is that this is a note style, where…
  • Thanks for that Just to clarify, the current code is something like: if authors1==authors2 or year1==year2 then disambiguate=true If that's the case then it should work for me. However if the condition is an 'AND' rather than an '…
  • Thanks fbennett, I've just had a play, based on the MLA style, but I can't seem to get it to work. I'm wondering if the problem is the same as this thread http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/5944/proper-use-of-disambiguate/. My style also calls f…
  • That's great. Thanks heaps, particularly for the quick response. I'm pretty sure that I'll still have questions (which I'll post here), but that should push me in the right direction. DS
  • Thanks, that sounds really useful. I'm not very experience with writing XML, do you know where I might see an example where someone has written this kind of thing? (I assume that this - http://www.zotero.org/support/dev/csl_syntax_summary#condi…
  • I know this has been not discussed for a while, but I was wondering, with the upcoming release of 2.0, whether the ability to disambiguate by title has been included? Zotero usage is growing at my theological college and this is the one thing t…
  • An alternative to automation could be some sort of feature where the user could set the style for the quotation marks - single, double, straight, curly... I know that there's some talk in defining this in the CSL, but it might be more straight forw…
  • To install the openoffice extension under linux, use the second option in the instructions (http://www.zotero.org/documentation/openoffice_integration) which talks about using the extension manager in OOo. For backing up, could you export the d…
  • Looks like there is a feature already in existence (or at least being talked about on the mailing list). http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_name=88EED1B0-E355-42AF-B6B4-8A560D7B9B23@simonster.com<citation> Anyway, I'…
  • Thanks eraz, I've done so. Though I'm with you, it would be nice if it were part of the Zotero settings.
  • Thanks eraz, unfortunately my college's style guide breaks with the SBL style guide at a number of points. I'm sure that it'll be okay if I use the published SBL style, I was just hoping that this style of disambiguation was able to be specifie…
  • Wow - this style has sold Zotero to me! I've been spending too much time this week trying to get either biblatex or bibus to create something resembling the SBL style. Just one thing, my college doesn't like the use of ibid, so would it be pos…
