Am I supposed to need to enter a Yahoo! App ID? I didn't need to in the previous release.

You should take a look at the Zotero Maps plugin. It is a simple little tool that may do much of what you want.
-
I just looked again, and your site already has some RDF metadata embedded in the page, in the form of META tags. Right now, it only includes the author and title, and the title is incorrect. That said, maybe the site developers could "fix" that meta…

In that case, your situation probably does call for a translator. The best option of course is for someone within your organization to do it, since it's part of your organization's needs. Most people here who write translators (I've written one) are…

If you have access to the CEPAL site, why not "Make your site Zotero-ready"? Doing this using unAPI or COinS is actually quite easy. The advantage of exposing metadata in this way is that it will make it easier for all users to save items from your …

I did click on "next" to send the errors off to you. When you do this, you need to copy the Report ID and post it here. Otherwise, the developers don't know which error report is yours. edit: I should read more carefully! Someone else had not quite…

This is due to a deficiency in the CrossRef translator. These DOIs are correct; the output from the CrossRef query service is indeed for the book sections, as can be seen here for 10.1007/11547662_24 and 10.1007/3-540-47979-1_7. These books are lis…

Report ID: 460571796 - dumb question: how does this help? Error reports are useful only when the developers know the context in which the error occurred and can discuss the issue and troubleshooting with the user. Unless you post the report ID here…

Having found that I never want reports to replace the contents of the currently open tab, I'd like to see this as well.

As I stated before, I certainly think that this could be improved in the BibTeX export translator (https://www.zotero.org/trac/browser/extension/trunk/translators/BibTeX.js). I think that it should be possible to treat some of the unambiguous cases …

These groups must be private, correct? I wonder if you could make the group open, announce it, then make it private once the students have joined. Another option would be to distribute a link to the group page and have them simply request membershi…

You will see in the References at the end of the document that there are master's theses and phd theses differentiated through the words "master's thesis" and "phd thesis". Hence the "Type" field in Thesis items. In light of the very large number of…

I don't think that it is meant to be used by organizations, such as Dulani's, to provide local sync. It is rather most likely meant to be used by developers. It has been brought up that local servers could address some organizations' concerns with …

2. I don't know how to make "et al." to be dependent on the language of the item cited. This is not yet possible, but it is a known issue with CSL/Zotero. I don't recall if CSL 1.0 (and Zotero 2.1) have a fix lined up.
-
This does seem like a bug. Would it be better to change the translator for affected sites to convert en-dash delimited page numbers, or to change the Zotero RIS translator? I personally think it'd be better to change the translators, since there's n…

Thanks! Looking forward to the next bugfix release.
-
In the 2.0 version, the "add a link" button has been removed in favor of the "create a new item from current page" button. Stand-alone links and attachments, as were often created in Zotero 1.0, cannot be organized and categorized as completely as c…

Glad to hear that you figured out the issue. Missing or incorrect data is unfortunately very common!
-
You don't need to double-post. Your original post is sufficient, and it is in the right category. Additional posts just make things more confusing for future people looking for support, and for people trying to help.

When I installed the style from the repository, it handled the author name correctly, using all the available initials. Check that you have the newest version of the style and that you are sure you have the initials (full names) in author field of …

anders_royce: Yes -- the general tab of the preferences doesn't fit for me either. I believe that that is a Mozilla bug, and that it has come up on the forums before, but I don't have a link handy.
-
Are you looking for the difference in intialization or in the capitalization of the journal title? In either case, the current version of the style, at http://www.zotero.org/styles/journal-neurosurgery/dev?install=1 , does both initialization and ca…

I'm using an eeePC as well. Might this really have to do with screen size? How about you, Bionatsci and anders_royce?
-
This is still happening for me, even though I switched to Linux, and my current setup has very little in common with my previous setup. I am now using Firefox 3.6 and Zotero 2.0 Final, and the Zotero panel still restored to only a partial window whe…

This step is necessary for PDF indexing to work. Zotero can't yet do OCR on its own, so users who have PDFs without a text layer have to do OCR themselves, then click the "reindex" button for each PDF.

For a new library search system, Encore seems pretty weak when it comes to integration... Some of the Encore installations have Refworks integration, but not all of them. The approach of going to the Classic Catalog and getting MARC data works, but …

Also-- it sounds like you are using Zotero 1.0. If you are, upgrade to Zotero 2.0-- it moves the snapshot of current page tool to a menu, encouraging users to create full fledged items, so that they don't find themselves in the position that you are…

Can anyone say if this: http://bitbucket.org/csledit/csl-wysiwyg-editor/ is live somewhere? Since it has Mendeley backing it and Bruce at least somewhat involved, I imagine that it could be good. I'd like to try it out, and it'd be good to encourage…
-
[edit: I misread erazlogo's comments!] Hold on-- it seems that the server side is getting a lot of attention these days, and the Zotero team is slowly adding support for larger and larger databases.
-
Well, the reason for this is that the author name in this and many Author-Date styles is often integrated into the grammar of the sentence, so it isn't quite as simple as replacing (Author, Year) with Author (Year)-- it can be something more complex…
