Also check out the editable preview by putting selecting a Zotero item and pasting the following into your address bar: chrome://zotero/content/tools/csledit.xul Note that on windows anyway, the pull down menu to select the style is about 3 pixels…

Not only is there a ticket, but a working attempt has been submitted to the zotero-dev Google group. It's in need of testers. See both the file in the "Files" section, and the author's introductory post.

Dan: a very good idea which should pleasantly simplify the backup instructions, and hopefully prevent disasters. You guys whip this stuff out of nowhere. Noksagt: (re: backing up the whole drive) Right. I wasn't thinking about syncing the whole dr…

Thanks. Unfortunately the startup cost of learning javascript is probably a little too much for me just now, in the middle of a dissertation. Reading the doc page more carefully, I see the following. And even if Firefox is shut down before acc…

noksagt: by the reference to the campus edition she simply means that thousands of students are likely to start using Zotero now, and she thinks the backup advice in the FAQ not sufficiently easy to understand for the new masses. It has no specific…

There is some movement on these issues here and here in the development forum.

Until something like this exists, you might just take a record (or a book and a journal article) for which you have full bibliographic data, and export it (CTRL-ALT-C on windows) in each of the available formats, copy it to an HTML document add titl…

I've wondered at this last point, too. Is there (could there be?) some way for the user who wants to make a proper bug report or enhancement suggestion to know what translator he is reporting on? ("ALEPH" translation is provided by the MARC transl…

I used to use {Last Name}{YYYY}{First significant title word} The title word had to undergo some manual tweaking sometimes to avoid duplication. (But I'm not using BibTeX these days).
-
I have found myself sometimes wishing to take notes in Freemind and then import as trees into the place where the rest of my notes are. Hence I think it would be nice if Zotero had the ability to easily 'refresh' its own searchable version of a loc…
-
Perhaps, but the number of databases is dizzying, and 'no standard way of presenting the data' really does require the need for serious heuristics (and tentative results). Not to shoot down the idea, and there may in fact be a few databases with we…

Yes, this has been mentioned before in the forums. Many dissertation stylesheets require it, says erazlogo. Though I think what is required is not completely identical in the two places. The stylesheet I'm using, a variant of Chicago for Near-Eas…

Since zotero stores everything in a directory which is contained within your Firefox profile, selecting FEBE's option to "back up entire profile" should back up everything within Zotero including all attachments, metadata, notes and highlights. Y…

As far as I can tell from the specification, RIS wants both the title and subtitle in a single TI or T1 or CT element (separated by a colon or whatever is usual in language you are writing). This would mean that your exporter has it wrong. If that …
-
Dan, I assume you're on US Eastern time, makes you either a maniac developer or an insomniac for responding in such detail at this hour. I am constantly surprised by the times you all seem to be doing real productive work. Cheers to you all, and t…

That makes 4 requests for the Society of Biblical Literature (SBL) style on this post (including mine). That's mildly astonishing, though I do thing that Zotero would enjoy particularly wide adoption among biblical scholars once it is stable from t…

The above example imports to three top level items on my machine. Only the main (expected) one appears in the "Imported Friday..." collection. The other two are dummy "Web Page" files not in any collections. These are the "phantom files" I report…
-
Regarding punctuation in fields, I did a few tests, and it seems that at the moment, it's nearly what-you-see-is-what-you-get. "6 - 8" and "6-8" are each handled verbatim. Same with trailing periods on titles, spaces before the semicolon dividing …
-
Can you find out what proxy your university is using? I've read in the forums that EZProxy is currently the only proxy system that Zotero supports right now, though my (UK) university uses Squid for both on and off-campus access, and it works fine …
-
Perhaps you didn't know that Zotero stores all of its items in a database. This means you can add them to any number of "collections" or sub-collections without duplicating the actual data. The collections are a little like hierarchical labels in …
-
Hmmm, I'm not exactly sure what you mean. If you place an item in two sub-collections of the same collection, it doesn't show up twice (en double) in the main collection, so legibility of the main collection is not compromised. Nor do items in mu…

A few more remarks about Title Casing, a feature that has saved me an amazing amount of time in the last few weeks. It gets everything right for me in English-language titles with the following exceptions: (1) hyphenaed words. Yield 'Greco-Roman'…
-
Obviously (2) is nice if you can manage it. It might be that the Mozilla/FF character set conversion libraries wouldn't be sufficient even if you had them. At least, the above up-loaded RIS files (which are apparently UTF-8) don't detect as such. …
-
I do think it would be good if Zotero added support for multiple call numbers (and associated library/archive/locations). I'm at a university library which uses Dewey, and have no way (except a note) to store both those and, say LoC numbers. One …

You can find an example file from EBSCOhost at this link. It has 6 entries with either French accents or umlauts on each. I'm not sure I have the best tools to check the encoding myself, but here goes: The "Notepad++" text editor has that file as …
-
In addition, keywords (tagged KW) in the RIS file get imported into zotero as manually generated tags. This is a area where we would ideally also have choice. Someone importing their entire Endnote library may well be glad to have their keywords i…
-
For what it's worth, if I turn off RIS intercept and save the file and formally import it, I get (1) but not (2). If I load the file in a text editor and explicitly change the encoding to utf-8, and resave. Everything is fine. I have the same eff…

Right. I don't know why Z doesn't look for them in the path. But try symlinking deeper, right into zotero's own directory in your profile. I don't have a linux box here, so I can't tell you where it is. But it's 1 or 2 directories deeper than .m…
-
It may be that zotero doesn't look for the executables in your normal path, and that they need to be in your zotero directory (of your firefox profile). You could either copy them there, or put a symlink to them there. your link or copy may need t…

AFAIK, there is no way to automate the deletion of doubles or to overwrite existing entries. Zotero carefully preserves all imported data, (even if it's got the same already.) You'll see on the forums several posts regarding transfering the whol…
