Thank goodness for this string. Just spent hours trying to debug why my custom CSL style was not printing URLs with articles with page numbers but the others (without page numbers) were!
-
Excellent! Thank you so much, works perfectly. tim

@noksagt, thanks. I got it with a full install. Yay! It is true I can pass this working cert8.db around, right?
-
Thanks so much for your reply. I think I finally am understanding the full picture. Just so I'm absolutely clear: - There's nothing my IT folks here can do on the web-traffic side except allow this particular traffic to bypass the interception. Whi…

Just for the sake of documentation and if anyone else needs a solution to the specific example I gave above, this workaround does the trick: put "parenthetical statement [" in the prefix and "]" in the suffix. You'll end up with (parenthe…

Excellent. Thanks for looking into this.

This should replicate it: 1. Install Ecology style. 2. begin new MS Word doc. Set the style to Ecology in Zotero Document Preferences. 3. Type some text 4. Search for a citation using the "new" tool. Click on the citation, in the Prefix f…

Thank you for your reply. Yes, that was how I applied it (using Prefix and Suffix fields). Is it style-dependent (e.g. only works with SBL, which I don't use)? If so, then I could add it to the styles I use. This is good functionality to have.
-
I'm trying to apply this functionality and don't seem to be getting results. Did this change ever get pushed out? Not a huge deal as I can tweak manually for the once case I need it (square brackets inside a parenthetical citation).
-
Cancel this. We've got it figured out. Almost certainly was a proxy /// certificates error. Sorry to waste bandwidth. Tim
-
Wow, this is great! A full year after you did this, but I had not noticed before. Thank you!
-
I restarted again and everything seems to be back to normal. I'll post again if these symptoms show up again. But for now, no action or sleuthing needed. Tim

Oop, here's the most recent report ID: 287270210

Re: the 'Attach link to current page' feature in Zotero for FF being accident rather than feature, it looks like I can also create links to local files using the URL field in the citation record. I suspect this is also an undesired feature for group…
-
Thank you both for your very quick replies to my questions. Dan, the context here is that all users of this group library have access to the shared drive the files are on. So the files ARE accessible to all members of the group (granted: only …
-
Yes, after trying it out, that appears to be the case. Ugh, I think this means we have to go back to putting our local URI paths in Notes. Very unsatisfying. Would putting in a request for a change in this policy (no links to local files) ever…
-
So 'link to local files' (https://github.com/friflaj/zotero-link-local-files) probably does too and thus probably won't work for group libraries either?
-
@adamsmith. Drat, I think it is a great feature for our uses! I understand the general concerns, however, in that the links are broken when viewing outside the context of the users current location. Tim

Zotfile is not behaving for some reason, but perhaps this is the way to go: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/31124/import-with-attachment-location/?Focus=162337#Comment_162337

Thanks for your reply. One can do that in Zotero for FF (as I describe above). And those links still work fine now that I've got Zotero Standalone installed. Granted, they work only when connected to the shared drives the files reside on. This solut…
-
I'm trying to 'attach link to URI' with Zotero Standalone 4.4.11 and having no luck (absolutely nothing happens). This is a group library, so the other two attach options are greyed out, per the discussion above. The URI I want to add, however, begi…

Your new translator worked for Map/cartographer, but, as you note above, I had other data types as well. I tried a Computer Program import (the example above) and that record came over with A1 tagged to "Author" not "Programmer". I know that Interv…

OK, done. Thanks again for everything!

I imported from RIS, which was an export from Reference Manager. Here are two entries that imported incorrectly: TY - MAP ID - 3537 T1 - Ecoregions of New York (color poster with map, descriptive text, summary tables, and photographs) …
-
Aha! The one thing I didn't do was to click on the "Author" heading and see that there are other designations, such as "Cartographer". As soon as I flip them from "Author" (how they were imported), they immediately show up in the Creator field. It…

... was also going to note my version if that matters: Zotero version 2.1.8
-
Ok, I'll likely give that a try. I'll let you know if things go awry. Thanks!
-
Drat! "View output" just gave me a blank window so I closed FireFox with the assumption that the log would be there after opening it fresh. But, of course, it claims there now are "0 lines logged". If the log file is gone (can't see anything obvi…

Yes, I got the conflict resolution dialog again. I logged 737293 debug lines from opening zotero to getting to the conflict resolution dialog. It has been attempting to send for the last 45 min or so, so I'm killing it and will send it to you per yo…
-
I think all the errors are Zotero record errors - things like "tags have changed..." Basically, things are pretty mucked up. Which is ok - I'm actually still in the progress of migrating to Zotero and have 95% of the records in a cleaned up RIS fil…
