It's probably a bug, but honestly, ibid is a PITA. According to Chicago, for example, the term stands in for the work information, and page number ought not to impact that condition. However, it's not that simple. If you have: 1. ibid. 23 2. ibid. …

Luc, I agree with what you say, but the OWL distinction between object and datatype properties actually confuses the issue. In plain language, the first is represented by the statement "x is related to y" while the second by "x title is 'Some Titl…

I would discourage normative semantic operators (refutes, supports, etc) in favour of strictly empirical assessments, particularly as these operators may one day more from my highly opinionated view of the world into something more "wiki" like, wher…
-
Ah, right. But given the limitations of COinS, can they even do anything about that?
-
No, no; don't worry. Any contribution is a good contribution. I was just mentioning this for anybody that might be interested. Good code vs. bad code? To keep it simple: good code does the most amount of work with the least amount of code. By usi…

Is there any way you can post your example document somewhere, or a screenshot of the relevant section? It's hard to visualize the problem from your description.
-
This is a perfect example of what I was earlier mentioning about storing names and titles in multiple languages. Since Zotero isn't (yet) designed to accommodate this, perhaps the translator simply ignores that content (which is surrounded by an HTM…

As a general principle, I'm encouraging people to rely more on well-designed macros. The latest dev version of APA reflects what I'm talking about, and I encourage people to model their styles on that. One of the reasons for this is to build up a s…

This should give you a sense.

Thanks. I first looked into using Carbon Copy Cloner (which is a really nice GUI that uses rsync underneath), but ultimately thought using rsync directly per this tutorial was a little more transparent. I may look into rsnapshot later, as time a…
-
Dan, I'd like to go back to your suggestion about rsync-over-ssh, as I'm just now setting up a new desktop machine, and was thinking to do just this. My question is: I was planning to set up automatic syncing using the rsync daemon mode. Is there a…

FWIW, the styling language (CSL) can support original publication information. But Zotero cannot (yet).
-
I'd like to return to the issue of, um, issue numbers that adamw4 brings up again. In short, I think this was the wrong decision and plan to change it back unless people here can convince me otherwise. My reading is this: APA allows, but does not …

While I don't speak for Zotero, my suggestion is still the same: find somebody with OS X coding skills to figure out how to do this, ideally generically (in any OS X-native app; Pages, Nisus, Mellel, etc.). The Word and OOo code have the advantage…
-
I have a request of people asking for new styles. Please follow these suggestions. First, always, always, always include one or more links to documentation. Do not ask us to do this research for you. We're all really busy and essentially donating f…

Just a reminder that Word isn't the only word-processor supported by Zotero, nor Windows the only operating system ;-) I don't know about Word, but OOo already allows one to attach a macro to a key binding. I presume Word does the same. Perhaps a…
-
helga: I didn't know about Babelzilla when I posted earlier. It might be worth following Rintze's suggestion and using the work you did toward that end.
-
Helga: this ("ed." vs. "aufl.") is a bug in the locales files Zotero uses to format the references and citations. You can see an example of the German one here. As you can see, there are some missing translations there. If you'd like to contribute…
-
Elena -- let's take Word. Imagine a customization of the research panel that allowed browsing of citations and notes from within Word, as well as insertion of citations from there. I know Dan doesn't favor creating dedicated UIs for word-processor…
-
TJowens: but using Google Docs is only viable if you never have to change citation styles. Since I and many users do, I consider that approach unworkable. YMMV of course.
-
Seems you have to print off a "Note report" and work from it. Is that right? . . .It sure would be nice if FireFox could open an MS Office doc. The reports are in HTML, and Word opens HTML, so you can already do that yourself. Try it. I use Zotero …
-
Dan: re: Not really. We should switch to auto-update for the OOo plugin at some point, but for this it's just that the dev version of Zotero often requires more recent versions of the plugins than the released versions. Am confused by the "not reall…
-
Probably not so "straightforward"; see this thread.
-
The "The installed version of Zotero is not compatible with this plugin. Please use the most current version of the extension" error seems to be a general problem, as I just got it using NeoOffice. So I updated the extension from here. That appear…
-
Oh good; I should have thought about that possibility before posting that! What's holding up the 1.02 release anyway; it seems there's a ton of useful fixes and one notable new feature that would make a lot of issues go away.
-
The solution for the spurious URL is the same as it's always been: remove the URL from your record (and move if it to a link if you prefer). For the Zotero developers, fix the translators; this has been a known issue for what ... a year?!
-
Not AFAIK; I believe this is a bug that I've noted before.
-
rintze: you're on the right track that robust global identifiers are important (even critical) to solving this problem of citation portability. But it's also true that DOIs only work for contemporary journal articles, and so miss a whole lot. It's f…
-
FWIW, and notwithstanding any possible bugs in Zotero, you're mappings are incorrect. "Code" should map to "container-title" (I think it now does in the dev version), "codeNumber" to "volume" (I think!), and "PublicLawNum" to "number" (again, not to…
-
sean: my comment about the limitations of zotero on this count was not a mistake. Take a look at the example I posted and tell me how zotero can possibly store a) different names (in different languages) for the same contributor, and b) different ti…
