There are two Anesthesiology journals on the styles page -- http://www.zotero.org/styles . Can you find it there and install it?
-
I'm interested mainly in working on the code-- I don't currently use a Mac for much of my work, but PDF annotation would be great to have, and I'd be quite interested in working on a cross-platform solution that would work under Linux. So count me i…

This just isn't going to be possible. Zotero works with items in its database. It has a robust style engine that lets it create bibliographies in hundreds of different ways, but its core is really keeping track of these items. If you just need a way…
-
That shouldn't cause duplication-- Zotero keeps track of the relationships between private and group items and I believe that it won't cause duplicates in this case. Test with a small collection and see what happens. That said, it is not the case t…
-
@Greg: Such code would be quite nice to see. With some work, perhaps it could be incorporated into Zotero proper.
-
Hmm. In that case, disregard my email on zotero-dev. I had somehow corrupted the downloaded file when I replaced the translator with its updated version. Thanks Rintze for posting this -- it works for me.
-
For now, you can go to the book overview (http://books.google.com/books?id=EMAiVs23XBcC) and save from there. Hopefully an improved Google Books translator will be forthcoming.

Zotero's support for embedded metadata is unfortunately not that great so far. The Embedded RDF is through META tags. The most robust approach right now is unAPI. I raised the possibility a few weeks ago of rewriting the embedded metadata formats t…
-
Glancing quickly at the page's source code, it looks like a real nightmare. I don't know precisely what's causing this problem, but there's a lot going on that page. Complex pages sometimes don't save correctly. If you need to capture some text from…
-
I understand that the Zotero core developers are not about to work on their own reading and annotation plugins for PDF, DejaVu or other formats. I imagine they would be interested in the development of flexible, cross-platform systems for embedding …

I get the same result. This is quite odd... I use other non-Roman scripts on a regular basis with snapshots and haven't seen such issues. Perhaps someone might have insight on what's going on here?
-
Well, for the sake of maintaining coherence in your Zotero database, you should probably enter the manuscripts separately into Zotero anyway. Presumably you will also use those individual item entries to as parent items for notes on each manuscript,…
-
An update was recently proposed for the Google Books translator-- perhaps it will fix this issue. Go to http://groups.google.com/group/zotero-dev/web/Google Books.js and place the file in the translators directory of your Zotero data directory. Ple…
-
I believe people have made comments for and against counting notes as "modifications" for their parent items. To get the same behavior, you can create a saved search for recent modifications and set it to "Include child and parent items for matching…
-
Also, could you elaborate on what you want the final citation to look like? Archival materials and their correct citation has been a recurrent problematic point for users, and I think part of it is because the ideas of box number and so on are high…
-
I'm not an RDF whiz, but it looks like they aren't generating quite correct RDF. Perhaps if anyone here has contacts with AMS, they could ask the society's technical support people to look into the changes in RDF used by the AMS site and point them …
-
I think that a context-menu item would be really quite nice.
-
That sounds great! I certainly hope that you make progress on this project, and I would be glad to do testing of it when you need it.
-
And since what you're doing sounds an awful like the Gnotero project, you might want to search for it and work from that starting point. It works quite nicely already.
-
This is a known issue when a sync is active, and I believe that it should be fixed in the next minor version of Zotero, 2.0.3. If this is the case even when a sync is not in progress, please provide a debug ID.
-
Good! While you're at it I'd recommend making the 'retrieve metadata' function easily accessible from a menu in addition to the cryptic 'right-click' or 'control-click'. I'd never have discovered that very useful function if I hadn't chanced upon it…
-
Grabbing PDFs (and the indexing that goes with it) is still the one place where I regularly get UI freezes. (I was getting them on syncing until recently, when I moved the data directory off my NTFS partition, for which access is apparently dog-slow…

In that case, Aryesz, go to the Advanced pane of the Firefox preferences, then the Update tab. Make sure that the "Add-ons" box is checked.
-
Aryesz: That shouldn't happen. The plugin does work with Firefox 3.6.3. Developers: Perhaps I'm missing something, but it looks like the install.rdf for the XPI currently at http://www.zotero.org/download/integration/Zotero-WinWord-Plugin-3.0a3.xpi…

@sonofjay99: Have you opened the Zotero pane? Click the "Zotero" button at the bottom right, or select "Zotero" from the Tools menu in Firefox. It sounds like you might be looking at your online library, which will only show items once you enable sy…
-
Please provide a sample URL that did not work for you.
-
@Gracile: Well, the translators in the repository have generally had line breaks in the JSON header. Opening and modifying one of these translators with Scaffold 2.0 will result in less human-friendly formatting without line breaks.
-
This works nicely. One issue, however, is that the JSON header is now written as a single line, making it a lot less legible. Could this be fixed? Other than that, it looks like Scaffold 2.0 works well enough to update http://www.zotero.org/support…
-
I believe the consensus last time this was discussed was that this was an intrinsic firefox limitation, and could only be solved from their end. I'm not sure whether that was definitively established though. Had anyone posted at least a tracking bug…

I'm having running into the same nsIFile.create error, albeit with a very different setup. If there's a path length restriction, I'm not sure where it's coming from. Error report: 1647701655 Debug: D40097628 I'm running Firefox 3.6.3 under Ubuntu …
