  • Do you mean that when that error occurs you get multiple copies of the alert dialog? Yes. I'm running Windows Vista on one machine (where it's observed) and 7 on another. I think that instead of being once per tab, it might be that the boxes appea…
    in Dialog box opens once per tab, instead of once Comment by wbt March 12, 2012
  • This discussion should be deleted; it was submitted in duplicate thanks to a browser crash & server error.
    in Dialog box opens once per tab, instead of once Comment by wbt March 12, 2012
  • Search history would be nice, and it would be good to have a "Search Again in My Library"- maybe at the top of all result lists, because "no results" isn't the only possible outcome translating to "not the result I was looking for." Personally, I …
    in Two minor search box feature requests Comment by wbt January 24, 2012
  • A very similar bug, possibly related: Changing the case of one field causes current changes to another open-for-editing-but-the-user's-done field to revert to the pre-change condition. For example, edit a Conference Paper's Conference Name, and th…
    in Failure to save before author status change Comment by wbt June 13, 2011
  • I am experiencing the same errors, using 2.1.7 (no branch xpi). "Item no longer exists in your Zotero database" error: I have a Word doc and frequently, when I add a citation, it points to the last instance of citation [1], which has not changed si…
    in error: this.registry.citationreg.citationBId[c[0]] is undefined Comment by wbt June 10, 2011
  • Yes, the new file works for both of these examples. It still fails to get the location right, for example the first link should have a Place of "Sebastopol, CA" since that's where the book was published - but that is more pertinent to the discussi…
    in ACM Translator Error/Bug Comment by wbt June 10, 2011
  • With ajlyon's modified ACM.js, I still observe the same "Could not save item" issue with both of these sample item links. I've removed that experimental translator from my "translators" directory; there wasn't one there before (though there is an "A…

  • As a second example, consider http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1772735 The location is again NYC, but the conference was held in Raleigh. As to the question of level, I guess we would have to see how other publishers use the "address" and "loca…

  • Also, I don't think it would clutter the interface very much, since most of the other buttons on that toolbar are already arrow-drop-downs. Why do the devs view that much physical and conceptual distance as desirable? WBT
    in "Create New Item from Current Page" should use translator Comment by wbt May 10, 2011
  • At least change the labeling on the button, if we can't make this easier or more intuitive. "Add Web Page to Library" is clearer about what it's going to do than "Create New Item from Current Page." WBT
    in "Create New Item from Current Page" should use translator Comment by wbt May 10, 2011
  • >The user could pick which one of these two is default, and I think the "default default" might be to use the item type. The Create New Item from Current Page icon could also change to indicate which item type it would create (and the drop-down m…
    in "Create New Item from Current Page" should use translator Comment by wbt May 10, 2011
  • Thanks for the reply. This change in behavior should be an OPTION, and that we shouldn't get rid of the capability to easily create Web Page items from current page, for exactly the use cases you mentioned. This could be implemented as a little dr…

    in Add/Remove item causes all other visible items to collapse Comment by wbt March 29, 2011
  • That wasn't the problem? I just default to that because it is on so many sites. Thanks Dan for clearing whatever the log-jam was; the e-mail arrived at about the time of your post.
    in The Economist Comment by wbt March 27, 2011
  • Yes, it seems to not allow me to register because of the plus sign in my e-mail address. No error is reported, but it doesn't send e-mail with a password for initial login, and the resend password feature fails similarly. Zotero forums notificatio…
    in The Economist Comment by wbt March 27, 2011
  • Thanks ajlyon, I'll do it manually for now, and thanks for working on a solution. If/when you break from working on it, please add an item to the list of known issues with a link back here, so that other users might be able to avoid confusion and a…

    in The Economist Comment by wbt March 27, 2011
  • Thanks adamsmith, Can we add the Economist translator to the list of known issues, if it belongs there?

    in The Economist Comment by wbt March 27, 2011
  • The data displayed on Google's page is different than the data Zotero pulls from it...I haven't checked to see which is correct, but they should at least match. The mismatch indicates a translator issue somewhere. Also I finally found one that doe…
    in Google Books Translators Page Count Error Comment by wbt December 15, 2010
  • Thanks to ajlyon for the tip I was looking for! For most of my work, I only want to see snapshots if the URL is not available; otherwise I want to reference the "live" source to see if anything's updated. Double clicking the item shows me the snapsh…

    in Reference to a speech? Comment by wbt December 3, 2010
  • I'm not sure, and certainly no expert on style rules. However, reference information is supposed to help establish a source's credibility level. I think there should be some way to give the content or speech type, to help distinguish between, say, a…
    in Reference to a speech? Comment by wbt December 3, 2010
  • I've been using "presentation" to categorize a "speech," but would prefer having a different category if available. A keynote at a workshop could possibly be more "presentation," but I have a hard time applying that to political and campaign speech…
    in Reference to a speech? Comment by wbt December 3, 2010
  • Thanks. I look forward to seeing that feature implemented!
    in View items not in a collection Comment by wbt December 3, 2010
  • Thanks for keeping this afloat. I am using the method of duplicating the item and changing the type from Book to Book Section; thanks Dan for the patch to make moving the title easier. I also support the idea of hierarchical items at least to a ce…
    in Books and Book Sections: Avoiding Input of Duplicate Info Comment by wbt August 30, 2010
  • This would be an excellent feature to add, and could be integrated seamlessly with the Add Item by Identifier wizard. The only change to the UI would be to say "Enter the ISBN, DOI, PMID, or URI to look up in the box below." Then the field would c…
