1) As Rintze noted, the official guidelines state that, if six or more authors are present, only the first author is printed in both first and subsequent citations. The style is implemented according to these guidelines. While it is possible to modi…

The experimental OpenOffice plug-in should resolve this issue. You can try it now, or wait for our next release.
-
If you want to try the experimental Word 2008 plug-in (which should work with 10.4), use this link, not the one mentioned in that thread. We should be releasing these soon.
-
Rintze, it's also my impression that validating macro names would be difficult or imposible in RNG alone, but we plan on implementing this kind of validation in the Zotero repository by other means the near future.
-
It's a bug in the Ecology style. Citing books or book chapters causes Zotero to throw an error, since the style references undefined macros. If you create a new document, set it to a different style, and then copy and paste the text from your curren…

You need to have quotes (single or double; it shouldn't matter) around "MacWord 2008.py"
-
Try following the instructions above, but using the command python 'MacWord 2008.py' addCitation instead of python MacWord.py addCitation

We don't currently have a translator for Frontiers in Neuroscience, but in Zotero 2.0 we added a translator that will pull a DOI out of any page and retrieve the metadata from CrossRef, which is what you see working here. If the author list is wrong…

Bruce, Brackets probably make sense. With parentheses, it's hard for users to tell if a citation hasn't been picked up. Support for author suppression is currently included, but limited. The most common use case for author suppression is a…

Go to Insert->Bookmark and see if there's a bookmark called "ZOTERO_TEMP_BOOKMARK." If there is, delete it and try again. (This bug is fixed in the plug-in trunk.) If this doesn't help, send the file to support@zot....org along with a link referr…

You must add citations in the form (Smith, 2005) including the comma. {{Bibliography}} in the text will be replaced with a bibliography. If it does not appear, no bibliography will be inserted. We'll give better documentation in the RTF scan windo…

There's an experimental version of a 10.4-compatible Word 2004 plug-in available here (see also this thread). We will release this with the next update to Zotero.
-
Type "John" and then insert the citation with the "suppress author" box checked, which will insert only (1999) and persist through style changes.
-
I just updated the version in SVN, and it seems to fix the issue on my machine. Give it a try when you have a chance; the link is still the same as above.
-
molland, I can now confirm that author-date styles are producing these issues. A temporary workaround, albeit a poor one, is to use Chicago footnote style, then switch to an author-date style when you are ready to print your document. If things go w…

I think it would be wrong to characterize Zotero as "largely targeted at the humanities." While Zotero offers a few features that are more useful to those in the humanities, it also offers all or almost all of the features of competing products that…
-
Would you mind telling us your computer model, or alternatively, your processor architecture? I've personally tested the plug-in on 10.4 Intel, but not PPC.
-
You can try out the SVN (experimental) version of the Word 2004 plug-in now by downloading it from here. Since it hasn't been extensively tested, you should backup your Word files regularly, although if there is any data loss, it can probably be rev…
-
All parts of (1) are already implemented in the Mac Word and OpenOffice plug-ins that accompany 1.5 beta, but it may be a while before they're implemented in Word for Windows, which currently uses an entirely separate codebase. We're working on embe…
-
I just finished up a plug-in for Word 2004, and it's now in our SVN repository. Please allow a few days for a public release.
-
I've implemented a feature on the trunk to automatically extract DOIs from PDFs and search based on these DOIs, which should improve both accuracy and performance. We might also consider adding a manual DOI lookup feature. If you're seeing inaccurat…
-
If you can give us a download link (or even just the article title/author) for one of the PDFs, we can try to track down the source of the problem.
-
The plug-in is not loading the entire document. Microsoft's public APIs, which are only method of interacting with Word, are just slow. On Mac, this API is implemented through AppleScript, and is, I would assume, much slower than on Windows (althoug…
-
This should be fixed in 1.5, although you are advised to make a backup of both your Zotero database and your documents before upgrading.
-
parod, for your case at least, triggering the loading of the divs with DOMContentLoaded event should work. Zotero doesn't check for translators until the onLoad event.
-
As of 1.5, we have a new modular Python infrastructure that makes writing word processor plug-ins much simpler. We currently use this for the Word 2008 plug-in and the 2.0 version of the OpenOffice plug-in. It is relatively easy to write a new modul…
-
getDocumentData() does not load all of the document (nor does anything else in the code). Does this happen with both in-text and footnote citations?
-
The Zotero OpenOffice plug-in should work with OpenOffice 2.0. The problem is likely that StarOffice does not contain the Python bridge, which the plug-in needs to function.
-
What version of the OpenOffice plug-in are you running?
-
As far as I can tell, Papers takes a similar approach to ours, grabbing metadata from Google Scholar. They try the DOI first, which might be worth looking into. After that, it seems like they make you select text from the PDF, which we aren't going …
