I'm on record as believing adding Endnote styles support is a bad idea, in part for reasons like this. But it would be really good, I suspect, if people reporting problems with Endnote styles could try to identify whether the problems they are see…
-
You could treat it as an article. The "106th ..." bit is the tricky part, and I'm not sure where you'd park that data. Not sure either what "H2205" is?
-
Numbering your files by some internal database number is a really bad idea.
-
Hmm ... "recording type" is ambiguous. I could imagine they might mean by that something like format or medium, but it's not clear. This ought to be cleaned up. To wit, I've created a ticket.
-
I don't think the last option is viable, and I'm not convinced the second is either. I could imagine that there may be cases where a "van der Whatever" or a "de Something" might get sorted on the 'v' or 'd''. In fact, I know someone for whom this is…
-
Worth nothing that this issue is not so straightforward. Sometimes these fragments are formally non-sorting articulars, and other times they are effectively part of the family name. So I'm not sure, for example, you can reliably automate it.

(yes, there is Video Recording, but the style requires DVD references to be prefixed with "DVD:", videos with "VID:", CDs with "CD:" and audio cassettes with "AUD:". The solution is not a new type. It's to use whatever field maps to CSL's "medium" v…

Zotero provides no option to customize the and="text" option (at least not that I know about) and this is a pain, because it impairs localization... This isn't true; these terms are fully localizable. There just probably isn't a localization for thi…
-
What kind of integration are you interested in? You might look at the biblio module, whose author has talked about some related issues (like porting the Zotero citation formatting code to PHP).
-
The real solution to your problem of identifying the location of the content you are annotating is improvements in Zotero. Shorter-term, people seem to generally recommend putting the location in a consistent way at the top of your notes. That way …
-
On ISBNs, as I've mentioned before, think in terms of generic macros like "identifier" and have those specific there (along with DOIs, etc.).
-
One thing to keep in mind is that one goal of CSL—one which Zotero has followed—is that one can switch between note and other styles without modifying your document. So as you add your citations and associated text, think to yourself: what would hap…

reread tjowns suggestion again; click on the box to the *right* (not left) of the name.

1. I use articles, web sites, books, book chapters, blog posts, etc. Can you make it so that I can write a really long one? This isn't at all clear. 2. I need a field for book title in addition to chapter title. Zotero has gazillions of fields. Can …
-
Yes, that's correct. There are essentially two independent contexts (citation and bibliography) and two different conditions (first and subsequent) in which et-al can be configured.
-
I can't really, except to say that the first release of the model is out, and the Zotero people have been involve in its development. I wouldn't be surprised to see it, say, when 2.0 is released. But I don't speak for Zotero, and so don't really kn…
-
OTOH, unlike both MS Office and OOo, WP is a Windows-only product. And while Zotero now seems to be supporting the OOo plug-in, it was actually originally written by a third-party. So I think you need to be realistic about the expecting too much fro…
-
Why would you want to use Subversion for this? rsync works quite fine.
-
I'm trying to say: I totally agree with your request. Indeed, I've spent more than a year working on an independent data model that I expect Zotero will be using that includes periodicals as full class objects, along with a lot of other things (even…
-
It may not be "exotic" and seems rather obvious, but OTOH, what other options support it?
-
Bill: a 14kb gif of an ERD is pretty much unreadable ;-) More broadly, I'm going to ask the obvious: why reinvent something vaguely like RDF in SQL, rather than just use RDF more directly, particularly when the primary import/export format will in …

I'm having trouble setting & as "Delimiter between authors". When I do that I get XML Parsing Error: not well-formed Location: file:///D:/test-7-06-06-07-08.csl Line Number 81, Column 21: --------------------^ Two problems here. First, you're…
-
Changing an already-made style would be much more difficult to program. However, one variant that is easier is to be able to create styles based on a pre-set group of existing styles. E.g., have a few core styles with pre-determined defaults, and to…
-
I am concerned with students who use Zotero (or EndNote or RefWorks or Noodlebib even) and then get dinged by their professors for incorrect format. Yes, I know. Certainly we ought to avoid that where we can. OTOH, professors that give their studen…
-
Thanks for the thorough info. Is the snide tone at the top really necessary? Just to contextual my earlier questions/comments, it's a big, big big PITA to deal with all of these trivial variations in styles. I'm not complaining about your messag…
-
First, how do you conclude that the id "3rdID8487" is ought to be printed like that? Second, I have a hard time believing the "video posted to" is any more correct than the "retrieved from".
-
oops; yeah, doesn't seem possible. Really need a consistent interface logic between the citation and the bibliography section. This will become particularly apparent when dealing with note styles that don't have bibliographies.
-
@jon: look for the "author settings" pane and select from the "And" pop-up. Max: the UI needs to provide a little help on some of the more obscure options here. Also, somehow it needs to make clear that these rules are not just for authors, but al…
-
It *might* be worth considering folding ISBN into a more generic "identifier" macro call (that would also configure DOIs amd such)?
-
I'm not exactly sure of the best way to contact Apple. I did it through filing a bug report through their developer support. There are a few others options if you're not a developer. Style inheritance is where you base styles on other styles. For e…
