  • Fixed. Sorry for the inconvenience.
  • Thanks, Sean. That's useful, as is Jeremy Boggs' php library that Raymond mentions. However, what I'm interested in is not so much an API for interacting with users as a structured way of getting information about the contents of users' publicly-a…
  • Sean, I wonder if you could give me an update on the status of the REST api? I'm still getting "this is not available" when I use the requests you listed. Is this still something that's in the works?
  • So no estimate on what "in the near future" means? I guess I should start scraping, then?
  • That's great to hear, Dan. Like I said, I've always had tremendous respect for Zotero's open approach. Do you have an estimate of when we might see a working API? I ask because I want to know if I should start working on scraping or not; I'm hopi…
  • Thanks for the answer, Dan. Seems like it would be nice to share your citations with the world, but limit note availability to fellow group members. Since many folks won't share their notes, they'll keep the whole library private, and that makes t…
  • "Not sure how that works for the group library, though. " Yeah, that's the problem. Works fine for my personal library, and I assumed it did the same for my group library. It doesn't. It was a bit of a jolt to see my "Dr. X is a chowderhead" not…
  • Thanks, fredbacon, but unfortunately I'm having no better luck when I save the searches. I still get results from My Library, but nothing from my group libraries. It's funny, because autosuggest will cheerfully throw up titles from my group librar…
  • bump. So, no one else has this problem? It's a frustrating one for me, because I rely on search heavily, and it's pretty much completely broken for my group libraries. Anyone have suggestions? Thanks!
  • Whoops, I saw there's already a thread on this...sorry for the double-post.
  • I've had the same irritation as y'all about this. One solution is to run Zotero on a second monitor: open a new Firefox window (ctrl+n or File->New Window), put it on your other monitor, and show Zotero full-screen in that. Plenty of vertical el…
  • v2.0b7 == sublime beauty. Love the UI changes, but the synch-attachments-to-groups features...holy cow. Game changer. If it wasn't before, Zotero is now head-and-shoulders above the crowd in the citation-manager space. I can't say enough about h…
  • In 2.0b7, dragging items between libraries will copy child notes, snapshots/files, and links based on checkboxes for each (enabled by default) in the Zotero preferences. Dan, am I understanding you correctly that the much-sought-after group attachme…
  • There are a number of threads about this but, for what it's worth, I'm casting my vote as well: this is by far my most-desired feature.
  • I tried both Books and Scholar, and both downloaded citations with no trouble for me--so I don't think it's Google.
  • @Dan, 1. Thanks for the tip on sorting; works like a charm, although the first way (reverse alpha by creator) only works if you want a report from a whole collection, as opposed to a group of selected items. The append-to-url method works great reg…
  • Hi, I read your comment about customizing reports a few weeks ago, and it prompted me to write a quick and dirty solution: a script that accepts the html source of your report, lets you enter your display preferences, and then spits the customized …
