I mean it would be a good change, should be straight-forward, and I may get around to writing a patch myself, but you shouldn't wait for me. Thanks. Not waiting, but I couldn't figure out how to customize the style either, just yet. I may get arou…

I have Trac access, though (tests...), no apparent way to create tickets. But but the Zotero Trac page is pretty specific (seems to me) that it shouldn't be used for the kinds of user proposals I'm talking about, at least not until they've been giv…

me: I'd love to get Zotero's Series Number field mapped to a bibtex "number" field. noksagt: This seems like a simple and non-controversial change to make. Good and thanks, but I'm not sure what this means as far as the development process. D…

I'm also glad to know about bibtool for exactly the same reason. BibTeX sytles in general seem to be designed to "make use of everything in the database that they have a place for", so "extras" "doi" "isbn/issn" and "url"s all make their way into m…

Unicode Greek (even polytonic) goes quite nicely into the notes here. It sounds like you may be using some pre-unicode font, for which the solution will be tricky. Here's a little bit of unicode (UTF-8) polytonic Greek text to try on your own syst…

Good idea. I had this problem when some unmatched curly braces were in the abstract field of some items I downloaded. As anyone knows who has used Zotero for long, online databases can have ANYTHING in them, and unmatched stray braces are only the …

Looks good.

Apologies in advance for the length of this post. The short version: we need a second BibTeX export in Zotero that cares less for hitting BibTeX standards (whatever those are) than getting maximum metadata exported in a BibTeX-y mungeable, way. T…

Whoops. I see that the "editor" field is working fine.

call numbers get exported, but not short titles, and not series numbers, or translators.

@egh, if you're still listening: I'd love to get Zotero's Series Number field mapped to a bibtex "number" field. And would there be any way to get translator to "translator", and editor to "editor"? At the moment translators and editors get lumpe…

Greater things have surely started out with mild confidence. Post here or on your blog, when you get something up. And make it all look very open-standardsy, with micro-formats and RDF all that junk. (:-) That and a clean 2010-looking web page wi…

As I've said in another thread on this issue, Zotero a) should not adapt ANY features specifc to BibTeX, and b) needs to consider these requests in the context of larger goals. WRT to this example, the relevant larger goals are the forthcoming socia…

Great! And it would be nice if (as I think is planned eventually for the Journal Abbreviations field) we could have some kind of ability to administrate a central list of abbreviationfulltitle associations for consistency, easy of global changes, a…

Though the next time I set up autobackup of my Zotero directory with one of these services, I'm going to set it up to backup *a backup* of my Zotero directory. Then I can choose when I want the sync to happen (by syncing my actual Zotero directory …

The forward-thinking members of this forum might be quick to comment how limited and problematic such a number would be (see, for example the comments on BibTeX references). It would wreak havoc as soon as you try to share your database, and that w…

@migugg: i like the idea. It's true that the creator list is not exactly 'discoverable.'

@ Tjowens: But isn't this particular usage not a matter of the item relationships (hierarchical or otherwise) in the data---since the items are only incidentally related by a passing reference of one in another---but a matter which would be addresse…

Right. I knew that. Bad memory.

You can also find descriptions of the difficulty of the problem in several other threads on this forum (the search function in the upper left is quite decent), as well as some success stories with cb2Bib.

Don't worry, the functionality is not 'already hiding somewhere' you haven't found. And yes it's a great idea (and you'll find it discussed in several other threads. search: pdf rename) If I remember right, the early posts (1yr+ ago) also have the…

OK, so the din of the crowd rushing to this thread isn't exactly overwhelming. Still, my own small corner of the academic world (Biblical, Greco-Roman and Ancient Near Eastern Studies) is addicted to citing series by means of abbreviations, so I gi…

In the Chicago Manual of Style (both types) and its derivatives (Turabian, SBL), book reviews need handling which cannot be done by Zotero at the moment. In an untitled book review, the footnote should look like this: [1] Howard M. Teeple, review of…

If I make a number of citations of the same work, say four in a row, and I add a page number to the third one, and refresh, the fourth one does not become Ibid, but a short citation. I guess it should be ibid if they all refer to the same work with…

1) There is a CMS 'no ibid' style on the Zotero styles page. It's not one that is included by default yet, but you can include it by clicking the install tag. SCRATCH THAT. Apparently that's a CMS note style without bibliography, which is not wha…

Hold down the CTRL key (with the collections open and visible).

The new page is excellent.

If you get to mucking about in the Transformations code, two other details would be nice: title transformations on series titles, and correct title-casing on words immediately follow a double or single quotation mark.
