  • I used to use Papership but it stopped working for me some time ago. I use Zutilo (which is great), but the other trick of exporting items into the .RIS format and then using a simple Search/Replace to edit the fields and then re-import the referenc…
    in Edit same field for multiple items Comment by joycekwc October 8, 2020
  • Second that - Zotfile is what you are looking for. Zotfile allows you to use most external PDF editors.
    in Internal PDF Editor? Comment by joycekwc October 8, 2020
  • Hi Larry, I recommend using the Visual CSL Editor for quick fixes to styles without touching code: https://editor.citationstyles.org/visualEditor/. You can load your style file there, and look at the sample data (if you need more, you can also selec…
    in Editing an existent style file Comment by joycekwc October 8, 2020
  • Yes, there is! You can export the relevant records into a text or code editor using the .RIS format, and then use a simple Search/Replace function to convert the two letters that signal the Report Number into the Call Number using the RIS Format: ht…
    in Bulk Copying Report Number to Call Number Comment by joycekwc October 8, 2020
  • I'm also a big fan of the Visual Code Editor, which can help with this: https://editor.citationstyles.org/visualEditor/. If you put in the style, you can click on the sample entry for the item type you want to copy, and then you can create the new e…
    in HELP with editing a style Comment by joycekwc October 8, 2020
  • If you just don't want to see them, you can hide them, or if you just want to delete all the automatic tags, you can do that too. You just go to the arrow to the right of the search bar on the tag pane (next to the colours), right-click and choose t…
    in Tag management -> feature request Comment by joycekwc October 8, 2020
  • In the meantime, can I suggest that if you are interested mostly in reading papers, then the very handy Zotfile plugin is great: http://zotfile.com/ Also, you can at least save to your Zotero library using the web bookmarklet too.
    in Will there be iPad version of Zotero in plan? Comment by joycekwc October 8, 2020
  • If you are using OneDrive (and I assume Google Drive/Dropbox), you can attach a link to OneDrive/Sharepoint. You just copy the shared link and 'attach' that link. This works for me in the group library and then OneDrive takes care of ensuring you ha…
    in "Attach Link To File" in Group Library Comment by joycekwc October 8, 2020
  • I agree with this as an option - the Web Library is beautifully designed and much better than other workarounds. Currently, it works to open the library in another webpage (which I am reasonably happy with, better than dealing with BibBase), but you…
    in Embedding the Zotero Web Library? Comment by joycekwc October 4, 2020
  • Thanks @dstillman - your suggestion worked for me.
    in Finding items without attachments Comment by joycekwc October 4, 2020
  • Meraine - it depends a little on the web scraper used. For example, the Guardian has clearly identified itself as a news site. At one point I had submitted an ABC News scraper which fixed this issue but forgot about it - may get back in and see what…
    in Item type - media report Comment by joycekwc August 29, 2020
  • Hi micheil - Apologies, I'm in and out of Zotero depending on research projects but have added in the code as dstillman suggests, so hope that helps!
    in AGLC subsequent references Comment by joycekwc August 29, 2020
  • I'm also having this issue with a template I'm using. The problem does not occur if I insert the citation inside an existing citation, but only when I add in a new citation. It is easy enough to select all and apply the footnote style, but wondering…
    in Problem with Footnote style in Word Comment by joycekwc August 4, 2020
  • For anyone else who comes upon this thread, you can also easily enable quick search to search subcollections now by going to the 'View' menu and ticking the search subcollections feature (found in another thread). While this has solved my problem a…
    in Search in library Comment by joycekwc June 22, 2020
  • There is a way to do this, if you don't use too many other jurisdictions. For example, I have edited the AGLC style to format 'Hearings' as Hansard (as we don't otherwise use other types of hearings). The fields are all there, you just have to add a…
    in Document Types Comment by joycekwc March 12, 2020
  • Oops sorry the previous comment didn't display the code. The code you are looking for begins in the field, and starts with else-if position="subsequent" and ends with else-if.
    in AGLC subsequent references Comment by joycekwc March 12, 2020
  • The better way would be to edit the style to remove subsequent references or define which ones you want to display by item type. This is easy to achieve. If you haven't customised a style before, you can do it by selecting the citations you want to…
    in AGLC subsequent references Comment by joycekwc March 12, 2020
  • I am late to this thread and as others have said it's difficult to follow where this is, but I'm hoping that this is a small request - would it be possible to rename Manuscript at least in the UI (it can stay as an item type in the code) into someth…
    in Changes to fields and item types for Zotero 5.1 Comment by joycekwc March 4, 2020
  • Just in case anyone else comes to this thread - all the Wordpress plugins mentioned in the documentation do seem to be out of date for exposing metadata. I have just tried the Dublin Core Metadata Generator plugin and it works fine for blog posts (s…
    in How to create website with zotero-friendly metadata Comment by joycekwc July 17, 2019
  • Thanks @fbennett - your tip helped me too! This is still happening in the stable build, and also in the same circumstance (when client is stopped and started) - as I am used to Firefox with Zotero, I'm still not yet quite in the habit of having to s…
    in This.registry.citationreg.citationById[c[0]] is undefined - ID: 679537859 Comment by joycekwc May 21, 2018
  • Fantastic! Works like a charm. Thanks so much - this is a lifesaver.
    in AUSTLII translator Comment by joycekwc March 5, 2018
  • Yes, sorry - I was only trying to import cases, but I can confirm the others work fine.
    in AUSTLII translator Comment by joycekwc March 4, 2018
  • Hi all - I'm still having issues with the translator. I'm getting the same message, and have manually reset my translator. I've checked all the possible issues including cookies, updated software etc. I'm running Zotero 5.0 and wanting to download j…
    in AUSTLII translator Comment by joycekwc March 4, 2018
  • Thanks for this very useful summary - it sounds like an external HD might be the way to go. Thanks again for the prompt reply.
    in Options for storing Zotero storage folder Comment by joycekwc May 9, 2016
  • Michael and Dan - I have a similar issue. I also want to have the Zotero save button in Zotero for Firefox automatically create a webpage parent item and a PDF attachment. At the moment, although I have enabled the 'attaching snapshot' as a default,…
    in Add PDF as file from URL Comment by joycekwc November 2, 2015
  • Can you tell me how you got this to work? I'm also looking for a 'google search' title functionality, as my database has lots of grey literature. I'm only middling in IT functionality, so if it's too hard I'll just echo the request for a self-contai…
    in Adding search engines Comment by joycekwc February 15, 2015
  • Thanks for this - for some reason this now seems to have fixed itself. It may have had something to do with add-ons, or just the fact I had the computer switched off for a week. So a complete mystery!
    in [MLZ] Error generating bibliography Comment by joycekwc December 18, 2014
  • Jumping back into this forum - this is still happening to me on the odd occasion, but not with enough regularity that I can reproduce it or figure it out. It seems to be an issue with longer Word documents, too.
    in Error [MLZ] citation processor only works second time Comment by joycekwc December 18, 2014
  • Apologies for this - I keep forgetting I have MLZ, I'll have to restore it I think. But thanks for the quick responses!
    in [MLZ] Error generating bibliography Comment by joycekwc December 3, 2014
  • Thanks Dan! Yes, it seems to have started syncing now, but I'll keep your hints in mind for future.
