There was support for this in Zandy, but it appears that it broke when OCLC removed the API that it was using: https://www.oclc.org/developer/news/2018/xid-decommission.en.html It looks like I can bring it back to life by migrating to Citoid (https…

Just discovered that Zotable is a thing. Definitely interesting to see that someone else has taken up the cause of making Zotero a great thing on Android. For those interested in seeing Zotable's code, I went ahead and pushed it to a branch of Zan…

The site is written in Drupal, which incidentally has strong metadata support and can be made to do a great job providing metadata for Zotero to use. So maybe, just maybe, the ministry will go ahead and make your day.
-
If you post your changes to the style, perhaps they can be reincorporated for general use.

This has been noticed before: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/6797/zotero-appearance-how-do-i-change-date-format-in-date-added/ Given that Zotero is likely the largest affected product, I doubt this is going to be fixed on Mozilla's end unless…

This is going to depend on what is specified in the CSL for the specific style-- styles differ. Which style are you using?
-
Generally you will have access to your library offline, and that is the normal way of using it. The Zotero.org web interface is a limited subset of the regular experience in Zotero Standalone or the Firefox extension.
-
I also wrote this, which I intended to move Zandy to: https://github.com/ajlyon/libzotero-java It is a pure Java wrapper of the Zotero API, albeit an incomplete one.
-
Looks like a very computing-savvy site-- I wonder if they couldn't be encouraged to provide their data in any of the standard formats.
-
Can you just make a pull request here: https://github.com/zotero/translators/blob/master/Bookmarks.js Log in and hit the "Edit" button-- it'll fork the repo and submit your change as a pull request.
-
Note that the fields should not be both English-- for a source in Russian, you should have data for: ru (original title) ru-alalc97 (title transliterated into Roman letters) en (title translated into English)
-
It would be nominally possible to make a translator that ran on PDFs, parsing them with pdf.js and looking for the same key phrases we use for the metadata lookup; pdf.js could in theory be baked into a translator for this purpose. One interesting …

Great work! I see you've also written a new open-source Zotero API implementation, https://github.com/shazino/SZNZotero -- great to see more people pushing the limits of what can be done.
-
On a final note, you could probably file a request with the granting agencies and/or CHNM or the university itself via more traditional channels (emails, letters, even public records requests) to ask for more information on the grants involved in th…

Perhaps it has recently been updated, but the bottom of this very page says: Zotero is a project of the Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media, and was initially funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the Institute of Museum and Library…

Zandy has brought in about $3-4K in two years.
-
The fully open-source (AGPL, like Zotero itself) but not entirely feature-complete Android app that I launched nearly two years ago is certainly available as a starting point to any interested developers.
-
In case you're still around, the capitalization is something completely customizable; you're probably seeing the automatic title-casing that is applied on import in some cases. Zotero cannot, and no software in the market really can, automatically c…

You can actually do it with hosted providers for free, so why would you want to sacrifice uptime and possibly speed? If you want to set it up yourself, the AWS free usage tier gives you an entire year of a micro Linux instance and 30GB of storage fo…
-
The problem is that the page agapan posted is a journal description, not an article or a list of articles. We don't have a journal type in Zotero, and so the translator doesn't show anything for that page.
-
I got eLibrary working natively several months ago, albeit with less complete support than we had when I first wrote the translator, before they redesigned the page.
-
@mjsim -- There appears to be a growing group of institutions that are implementing the Zotero dataserver (for item metadata) and storage; you may want to post to zotero-dev (http://groups.google.com/group/zotero-dev) with your situation. I think we…

Looks like the Cochrane collection has been folded into a more standard Wiley page. We'll get a fix for this fairly soon-- it should actually make things easier on our end. (aurimasv & adamsmith: I think that just fixing detectWeb and the regex…

I reported several similar issues to pdf.js in the early days of the pdf.js-- they had some issues loading things from Zotero then, and they were fixed. You may want to go to their issue tracker and explain the situation, as it sounds like it might …
-
A rough translator could be done -- you'd probably get names (comma separation and capitalized family names help), as well as issue, keyword, abstract, title, journal. It'd be buggy and probably not get all pages, but I don't see why it would be im…
-
There was a patch sent to me years ago that did this with creators and publications, but I wasn't able to find it the last time I tried.
-
I did some work on eLibrary and it should be out to clients shortly. It is still pretty broken, with only flakey support for many data types, but it's at least pulling basic cite data for basic journal articles again. They don't provide much in the …

Zotero has a fairly strong MARC translator already. What site or what MARC data are you trying to import? The discussion on that link is about grabbing MARC data from a specific university site; we often have to build those translators specifically …

I just went ahead and tested it on Android 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 4.0, 4.1 and 4.2 devices, and Zandy worked on all of them. I just released version 1.3.7, which brings just a couple of small bugfixes, but please do try it and post to the forum if it doesn'…

I'm sorry to hear that Zandy is causing so much grief for some of you. I have been overly slow in issuing refunds in some cases, so please let me know if you are still waiting. As for the functionality of Zandy, I have learned a lot about Android de…
