You should be able to search for "http://ark.cdlib.org/ark:/13030/ft9r29p2x5" in your library and trim that link to get the error to go away. It's probably not a valid link anyway, since it probably includes some sort of very long session code. The …

You'll want to enter the author name manually, then check "Suppress author" in the citation entry dialogue in OpenOffice (or Word) when you insert the date part.

My understanding from previous discussions is that most styles can apply the correct capitalization if you have "sentence case" capitalization in the Zotero database, meaning that the first words and the necessary subsequent words are capitalized (p…

If a work has an ISBN and a publisher, it's a published work, even if it's a dissertation. But here I'm not sure that these are published-- they just have been assigned an ISBN, which doesn't necessarily mean that a print run was done and the theses…

- Is the item number the same between synchronized instances of Zotero on different computers ? It should be the same.
-
If a thesis is cited as a book and the user needs to use, say, a Chicago style, this user would still need to use the book item type to enter the reference. I don't follow. If it's a thesis, and a style has a thesis style rule, why would the fact th…
-
In that case, I suppose we should add ISBN, Type, ISSN, and Series to Thesis.

I feel like (1) could build off of the current system for fetching metadata for PDFs-- an option to right-click on any bibliographic entry to send the existing data to a bibliographic database as a look-up, then pulling up the current partial data a…

Ticket created for accent-agnostic searching, though I don't know whether or not this is possible in Firefox. Given that Firefox's built-in search doesn't do it, I suspect not. It appears that Sqlite can handle this, although I'm not quite sure how…

And I do think it makes sense to treat this as a series when published as books. This would seem to agree with the university's practice: All dissertations are part of a publication series (in our case Acta Universitatis agriculturae Sueciae). Such…

Well, releasing the code is tantamount to publishing the protocol. For that matter, the current client code is likely sufficient to work out the protocol, if you care to try.
-
In theory, the URL field should be a unique, stable identifier for the resource, so no, it really shouldn't have a proxy information. Further, it shouldn't have any information if there is no direct URL for the item listed, like, for example, per-se…
-
Not yet. The Zotero team has indicated that they will eventually release the server code, but that hasn't happened yet. My uninformed, non-team-member guess is that they want to make sure that the client-server protocol is cleaned up and stable bef…

Is there something special you have to do to recreate the .jar file other than just compressing it as a .zip and renaming it? I don't think you should have to do anything else, but I couldn't get my .jar to rezip correctly (on a different platform, …

On 10.6 the command is 'qlmanage -p ' If you run this in 10.5, does it work? I just tried, and this command works in 10.5 as well. That computer doesn't have Zotero, so I didn't try the plugin.
-
zwhuang: Thanks! That's a nice, clean fix.
-
LyZ maybe a good solution. However, it is not a part of Zotero official maintenance. Please remember that Zotero is an open-source project with limited development staff. It is intentionally open to plugin developers, and connections with common sof…
-
Can we have an option to import this? This has been discussed, but it hasn't been coded yet. I imagine that this and a few other metadata proposals (EXIF for images, ID3 for MP3s) are on hold in part because Zotero needs a good, cross-platform way t…

Could someone with access to the knowledge base add the instructions to set the pane font size smaller to the font size page? The extensions.zotero.fontSize preference in about:config does the trick, but it's not documented. As it stands, the KB ent…

Has the latest version been tested against a clean install? My installation is completely clean. I installed Gnotero this morning, after installing Ubuntu 9.10 with its fresh Firefox profile yesterday morning. Works like a charm, once I realized tha…

Sebaastian: Would it be possible to use zotero://select/ URLs to make all the search results accessible via Gnotero? I'm not sure, but I could imagine it being useful to be able to have Zotero open and show a given item selected from the list. And …
-
Select the items you need, right click them (control-click on Mac), and select "Create bibliography from selected items...". Pick the style you need, then choose Save as RTF or Copy to Clipboard. The RTF file can be read by Word without any issues, …
-
I suppose it should be possible to store my Zotero library on a flash drive and just direct my Mac and PC instances of Firefox appropriately? Or are the Zotero files different in Mac and PC? This should work fine. I take a similar approach for my du…
-
I'm not sure I understand. You are suggesting that the Awesome bar show URL results? Were it to include Zotero results, I would expect it to show any matching items, regardless of whether they include a URL field. Zotero items all have an associated…

While adamsmith is correct, you should try out noksagt's advice-- cb2Bib can do a lot. It runs on Windows, Mac and Linux. Its output can be imported by Zotero.
-
As I said in my previous comment, Zotero is in fact going to the MARC screen. It fails while parsing the MARC data out of that page, so the MARC translator, which is called by the Aleph translator, never gets legitimate input. My suspicion is that …

mronkko: Click on the Sync icon in the Zotero pane (a sync initiated by clicking on "Sync" is what Zotero calls a manual sync, and thus "manual intervention"). You will likely be prompted to resolve a conflict between the local and remote data.
-
Perhaps Dan or some other administrator could add this to Getting Stuff Into Your Zotero Library page; it is protected. That page mentions adding multiple authors twice (Manually Adding Items and Editing Item Information) but doesn't note the shortc…

Try Shift-Enter after entering each author name to create a new author field.

You need to make sure that you enter your username and password into the Zotero preferences in the add-on. First install the 2.0 version of the add-on from zotero.org. Then go to the Zotero preferences, which you can find by clicking on the Zotero i…
