Why not solve a few problems with one solution: change "ArtWork" to "Image"?
-
Yes, I wasn't suggesting using Trac. The github issue tracker is quite nice.
-
@ajlyon: the wiki page at github is awfully difficult to read and comment on. It's probably too late now, but it might have been easier to open up the issue tracker, and then create separate issues for each type, with itemized lists of new fields, o…

Bruce, you're one of my favorite real and virtual colleagues, but this statement is nearly as disingenuous as the supposed congratulations. "Disingenuous"? That's an awfully strong word to use in this context.
-
Can I suggest you post it to gist.github.com? Easier to deal with there.
-
@nbadcock: notwithstanding the behavior you observe, is removing that option really what you recommend? Take a look at the CSL spec description and see if it makes sense. http://citationstyles.org/downloads/specification.html#citation-specific-opti…

The wizfolio example in that thread is interesting though: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9W6NwW13fkw Am guessing they use a JS bookmarklet sort of thing to provide the citation insertion, but have no clue how they encode the citation "field" for …

How does the translator work? Is it something that reads XML syntax, or which maps RDF model? In any case, should we move this to zotero-dev?
-
I'm basically saying the most important types of reviews for academics are book reviews published in academic journals, but that a "Book Review" type could also work for now for reviews published in other periodicals (like newspapers). I suspect it…
-
@ajlyon: Because those fields aren't really adequate for many (even book review) cases, where you might also need publisher information, etc., and because those fields are in turn irrelevant to most articles. It would be a different story if we had…
-
It's a little silly to characterize the lack of comments on our "blog" as somehow indicative of a closed culture since there are already multiple great ways to communicate with Zotero developers and users (the forums, the dev lists, Twitter) Since I…
-
Shouldn't this be a FAQ entry?
-
I disagree. This really needs to be done with broader model and UI changes. Reviews are published in many contexts: as articles in periodicals (newspapers, academic journals, magazines), as blog posts, as segments in (radio, TV, etc.) broadcasts, …
-
Agreed (but I wouldn't limit it to blogs).
-
@fbennett: we probably ought to standardize this behavior, however we settle on the best approach, in the CSL spec.
-
@Beurt - yes, sometimes it's easier to edit things manually. But I hope you'll check back and figure out how to get what you need with Zotero 2.1 and CSL 1.0 when you find some time. People here will be happy to help you.
-
@Rintze: Ah, OK. Would that work for this case? I assume yes ... Aside: there's an interesting implementation question here. In my python code, I essentially assume a variable can only print once. So once something gets printed, the variable goes a…
-
You can't do that: have different et al rules in the same context (the bibliography proper, AND the label for that entry). What you have here is a rather odd "label" style, where you want a special algorithm for generating that label. CSL only has …

If you expect people to help you, you're going to have to do some more leg-work: http://www.zotero.org/support/requesting_styles

I get a MySQL error on your post. Might be good to put this on GitHub and expand it as the write API gets done.
-
FWIW, I'm really, REALLY leery of adding such a specific type. Can people not imagine something broader that would still work? Or instead, imagine a new field to add to other, existing, types?
-
right - though in fairness to the original poster, existing item types (website, blogpost, forum post...) don't exactly help to clarify that. True; I've been complaining about this issue since before Zotero was "Zotero" :-) Out of curiosity, though,…
-
Just keep in mind that the item types in Zotero are best understood as a set of fields and a set of ways they tend to be styled. Exactly! This ought to go in a FAQ somewhere. There is no way that there needs to be a special type for an ebook. A boo…
-
But see the citeproc-js manual for information on how to access the various forms from CSL: http://gsl-nagoya-u.net/http/pub/citeproc-doc.html#id36. And this itself should be considered "experiemental" from the standpoint of CSL as well (it's not in…
-
Indeed. But I'm not really sure this is per se Zotero's domain. Grep could probably be useful though.
-
To be honest, I'm not willing to waste my time programming anything related to this until the write API is done and opened up (well, and I'm busy with other things). But for me, Yahoo dumping delicious puts this API and server-side translation suppo…
-
Yeah, one big confusion I've seen is the word "free." I hear library people tell students that RefWorks is "free," which is only true in a very limited sense. We need a pithy phrase that communicates what the free software world has described as the…
-
See discussions of "Zotero next." But note that the parts of that plan that rely on XULrunner won't run on ChromeOS.
-
I don't think the taglines are substantive enough to be effective in actually convincing people. I also don't think Zotero is generally very well-suited to undergrads. I would say something like: Zotero makes individual and collaborative research…
-
I have a feeling you're going to have to list more details of how you got to the point of entering a citation in OOo. Also, version information for Zotero and the plug-in?
