Ah, thank you. That's it!
-
Most excellent. (done). Thanks
-
Ah, okay. Will that also purge my Group files too?
-
Your wish is my command. The Debug ID is D1403401017

Phew. I thought I'd forgotten to do it. A little extra detail (as I was reproducing the problem). When I click "merge" nothing happens. It's when I then click on a different item (in the list of merge candidates) that the actual error is genera…

Let me see if I have this right. For all three scenarios I was accessing EBSCO through our ezproxy. You're saying it failed because of a problem with connectors--i.e., when using Zotero standalone--and worked because a connector is not used wit…
-
My work is spread across several different platforms, so I pretty much only use standalone Zotero nowadays.
-
Hello Dan, Thanks. Yes, I do many/all of those things already. And I do run JS via an add-on. But there are tweaks ... the transform text doesn't get it quite APA 'ready'. It was a convenience thing more than anything else--having the mac…

For me, macros would reduce the need for batch editing (or search/replace) and would be more versatile.
-
Hi mronkko ... sorry I wasn't clearer. I don't think the current implementation falls short per se. I have a habit in programs such as Word or Excel, of using macros to do little housekeeping chores (things I find I do a lot). In Zotero,…

That's great news.

Some book-like items seem to have DOIs. See, for example: http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oxfordhb/9780199234257.001.0001 Alas, there doesn't seem to be DOI field available for all item types .... so I have to store the URL instead of the 'pure' DO…

... the trash is empty and shiny :) ... they are in the group library. I didn't realise that group libraries got replicated onto the (my) local machine. Does that raises some interesting management/versioning issues. For example, I have …
-
I seem to have a similar problem. I was checking my "Storage" directory (looking for any "FullText.pdf" files) and I have come across several PDFs for items that are not in my Library (although they are the type of document/research that would fit -…
-
Then, I've begun to wonder about replacing sub-strings (For example, a lot of the URL's have our proxy server name embedded in them, and I'd like to remove them).
-
Ah ... that might explain why it sometimes works (e.g., a date like 2005-12-03 --> 2005 Dec 3, works as expected).
-
I modified the script to replace some dates .... var fieldName = "date"; var oldValue = "2003 3-5th July"; var newValue = "2003 July 3-5"; var fieldID = Zotero.ItemFields.getID(fieldName); var s = new Zotero.Search; s.addCondition(…
-
That I can understand ... but how can I stop it or distinguish between them?
-
The example is from a new document only using standalone Zotero.
-
Okay, just done a fresh start ... had Zotero SA reinstall the Word Integration. I inserted Brint into a new document. Again, I get two choices of identical looking entries. But, this is the Word field for the first one: { ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM…

Hello Adam, I don't know why I'm using an odd version for FF. I just tend to upgrade when FF reminds me. I alternate between Zotero Standalone and FF (for reasons to do with Chrome and FF). I close word in between switches so it should be …
-
Hmmm ... bit to complex for me. How about: Do an advanced search with two conditions: attachment is pdf and attachment DOES NOT contain the character "a" so that every indexed pdf would have it. Odd that doesn't work the way I expected it …

This problem has now been accepted by SEASR See: http://dev-tools.seasr.org/jira/browse/SEASR-16?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel Boris Capitanu updated SEASR-16: -------------------------------- …

The logic, as I see it, is that different authors are separated by semi-colons, whereas works by the same author are separated by commas.
-
So, to be clear, if I were to use those two citations together, then I would expect (Oram, 2007, 2011), but what I actually get is (Oram 2007; 2011) --- or if I'm not using the author's name I would expect (2007, 2011), but what I get is (2007; 201…

And when it did finish I faced with the messages "Not enough memory" when I try and save the document ... is it a memory leak?
-
Been there. Done that. Got the tee-shirt. Hacked the DB :) ... batch editing, oh yes. It's so annoying having people such as Jarzabkowski, Paula A. and Jarzabkowski, Paula (without the A.)
-
Grrr. And now I have JARZABKOWSKI everywhere. I reset the server from the good data on one local machine. I restored the other machine from the server. Now both machines have JARZABKOWSKI .... I feel an attach of DB hacking coming on.…
-
I'll try that ... but it might take hours to do (lot's of references).
-
Is there some way to tweak the DB so I don't have to make multiple changes.... ... and to make things a little more exciting, I use Zotero on two machines syncing through WeDAV. Only one of them is affected.
