No, I mean Refer/Endnote format output. It looks similar to RIS, but is a little different. I'm just speculating that it might properly export the translators, but I don't know.
-
On your last example, this is a bug in Endnote and/or RIS. They're dumping the translator to a note, so Zotero is correctly reading that. What about the Refer version?
-
I don't recommend changing the CSL style to fix this. Figure out how to fix it in OOo (using the style).
-
Yeah, I don't really get Frank's point. Any editing of CSL output is usually a consequence of the style, or the data; not CSL per se.
-
Might be possible to have some way for biblatex to ingest CSL files though.
-
A "museum exhibit" type is way too narrow and specific. But as Zotero moves to a newer data model, perhaps a generic "Event" type would be appropriate for this example. That could also covers performances, etc.
-
So if this is a real issue and there are cases of both examples, then that suggests changing the boolean value to an option list.
-
OIC; yes, some research would be helpful. There is admittedly some ambiguity in the option.
-
Frank, I think the answer is both a and b. I think komrade's point is basically sound, but would just point out that CSL is not zotero-only. Seems a bit strange to be fixing styles to work around bugs in a particular implementation. FWIW, I do t…

Makes sense, we'v discussed it before, and no, it's not hard to do. Ideally , if a user sidn't find a sryle , they could click on a "create new sttle based on" link and go to a nice wizard interface ro get their new style.x
-
Actually, I may have read the source wrong: lib/endxmlin.c: { "translated-authors", "%?" }, This seems to suggest there's some "%?" value in the Endnote XML output that bibutils is using for the translator. Can you check that? If that's the case…
-
I've not really followed this thread, but ... My hope is that the zotero community take the initiative on this; blaming Endnote for being a bad piece of software is not going to solve any problems. No, but it can identify where the problems are, so …
-
No big deal; I was just pointing out that you can state your requests without having to rely on overloaded language.
-
So are you saying we're not "serious"? The lack of the feature is NOT an oversight; it's just a question of managing priorities. I don't want to add anything to CSL until I'm comfortable that it will work (which by definition means across differe…
-
Not possible, and not a good idea anyway. Those ID numbers are internal database numbers.
-
It seems that the absence of this feature has been a massive oversight. Let's avoid the "massive" hyperbole. As for your suggestion, that's essentially the direction we've been going in the CSL discussions. It still takes someone to dedicate the ma…

There are a number of Harvard styles here: http://www.zotero.org/styles You can hover over them to preview.

Author disambiguation needn't be a insurmountable problem. There's a middle path between fully-automated and totally manual, or one that relies on some mythical central authority. As a simple example, why can't I as an author provide my own disambig…
-
Yeah, LT is narrowly focused on books. The scope of Zotero is different. So while the FRBR-inspired model of LT works in that context, it's too complex for Zotero in my view, at least as a generic approach (might be OK for things like books). So in…
-
Unfortunately, the style generator is not so great. It would probably be quicker/easier to use the normal process for requesting a style. E.g., first find the existing style that is closest to what you need, and then tell us precisely what you need …
-
Brackets probably make sense. With parentheses, it's hard for users to tell if a citation hasn't been picked up. My thought is it's hard for users, and also hard for the code. The pandoc/markdown discussion on this is here; we've yet to really solv…
-
Simon, Two things: First, using parentheses as ciation markers seems less-than-ideal; what about brackets? Second, have you included support for local modifiers like author-suppression? Am wondering if there's room to develop a standardized way…
-
They're not "folders"; they're "collections." And they work as these things increasingly do in contemporary applications (Gmail and iTunes come immediately to mind, but there are many others). Again: this is a powerful feature; not a bug. So throw …
-
I don't speak for Zotero, but would simply note that it's highly likely any such thing would depend on Zotero's API, which is not yet public (and maybe in a little flux?). I'd guess they'll open it up soon, but don't really know.
-
The details are still to come.

Here's what my OOo environment looks like on my Mac. http://www.users.muohio.edu/darcusb/images/ooo-mac.png It's even more spare on my Linux laptop.
-
Yes; the way I've been thinking about it for awhile is that these are user-specific. Was just now playing with some code that illustrates: >>> print(mylibrary.items[0].label) "doe99" >>> print(mylibrary.items[0].resource.title) "T…
-
If you read through in particular my responses on those thread, you'll see this is not as simple as you and everyone else assume. You say "unique id", for example, and I ask "unique in what context?" Is it globally unique, or only to a user? What ab…
-
FWIW, I'm surprised you have a serious issue with the OOo UI. Have you tried the latest version? Have you looked into customizing the UI?
-
Another case to remind people: don't modify CSL styles without either a) submitting the changes to here, or b) creating a new style (where in this case, the bug is obviously with the style).
