This looks like a case where we could certainly use more flexibility in the Page/Book/Opus/etc. drop-down in the word processor plugins. If one option was "no prefix", then we could cover a case like this, which is similar to sub verbo in concept, b…

I hate to continue the digression, but don't forget that Zotero's development team has not been growing to match its user base, so development of major new features will be slow. More paid developers are not going to come out of thin air; if you wan…

My understanding is that the Zotero team is planning on eventually embedding citation metadata in the documents it creates (via Word or OpenOffice), so that other Zotero users can then read the citation data back out directly from the document. In …

I do not know how to drag the file out of the entry to create a new entry from the metadata. You can do precisely that-- select the PDF file in the middle column and drag it out and into the list of items. When a dark line appears between the entrie…

This can be tough. My current solution is to use the collected works title and volume as the series name and number, as adamsmith recommended. For the short story "Taras Bul'ba", part of the book Mirgorod, published in the collected works of Gogol'…

I was just getting frustrated enough to report this, and it's fixed before I had a chance. Thanks, Dan, and thanks hefixesthecable for fixing and reporting it.
-
Without the notification, you wouldn't know what entry was added-- for some sites, it can be less than clear what is being added, and there's no way for Zotero to know in which cases it is already obvious to the user what is being downloaded. Take, …
-
This should be generated by the Wikipedia export translators-- you can find it in the translators directory of the Zotero directory of your Firefox profile.
-
I see. It is not currently possible to have both a "sub verbo" and a page number, even if we can get the s.v. localized appropriately. One more vote for special mapping, I suppose.
-
Dan, I was perhaps too hasty in saying that these were the same issue. Looking more carefully, however, it's pretty easy to tell that Jodi's DOI is really just an ISBN-13, suffixed by the page number that the section starts on; that publication use…

The user "ibntech" also seems to be a spam account, and I don't see a report abuse link.
-
As far as I'm concerned, I can't give you a style name which requires this but, here (in France), this is a common rule (add "V°" before the name of a dictionary entry). There should be an option of "s.v." in the page number / chapter number drop-do…
-
This has been suggested many times, but it's apparently not currently feasible. Users with plenty of horizontal space have have sometimes opened a second Firefox window and set Zotero to fullscreen in that window, then put it to the right (or left) …
-
There does appear to be a bug in the DOI lookup code-- this is the same behavior I noted above for 10.1016/S1479-8387(04)01102-6; the code Zotero uses to parse the responses from CrossRef is not flexible enough to handle book sections correctly. The…

For some reason, the Aleph translator, which goes to the MARC record screen to pull its data, is not able to find the rows of the table containing the data. In lines 85-102 of Library Catalog (Aleph).js, it tries several XPath expressions, of which …
-
This appears to be because the parsing code for Crossref book results is slightly broken (CrossRef.js): 72: var refXML = xml.doi_record[0].crossref.book.book_metadata; 140: item.title = refXML.titles[0].title.toString(); For a book chapter…
-
While this is not currently possible, it would be helpful to provide more information on this style-- can you give the style name, and example citations for each type? That way future development can keep real use cases in mind. Who knows-- maybe t…

I just finished a translator for FreeCite and other systems that use the XML encapsulation of OpenURL ContextObjects. To try it out, download it from http://zotero-dev.googlegroups.com/web/CTX.js and place it in the translators folder of your Zotero…
-
Peter-- After looking at the project, I'm playing with the idea of writing a translator for that format. Since it's just OpenURL encapsulated a little differently, it should be quite easy, and the service is useful enough. I'll write a site translat…
-
This sounds like the drag bug that Frank had reported for OpenOffice under Linux. Mbruffey-- are you using Linux? If so, this is likely an OpenOffice bug. If it's under Windows, can you upgrade to the latest version of OpenOffice and try again? In…
-
Works for me now. Thanks for the very quick response.
-
What type of item would you expect to get in response when you submit an ISSN? While ISBN, Pubmed ID, and DOI all identify unique books or articles, an ISSN identifies a periodical-- and Zotero doesn't have a periodical type. I can't think of any b…
-
Do you have a backup of your data from before the upgrade? If so, you could set Zotero to start up with debug mode enabled (from Preferences-> Advanced), close Firefox, move the your upgraded data directory to somewhere else, replace it with the …
-
Mark, I don't know about MacSpeech, but I have colleagues who have used other dictation software (Dragon, I think) with Zotero for notes at least, without any issues. As Dan noted in the other thread you mention, Zotero can't tell what you're using …
-
So now I'm not sure whether I should downgrade or give this install a go... Since the 2.0 betas are so far ahead of the 1.0 series in functionality, I imagine you'll be much happier sticking with them for now. Just make and retain a backup of your Z…

Drag and drop directly into Open Office 3.0.1 yields the literal HTML markup. The markup looks to be all correct, but the tags all appear as text in the document. Is there an operation I'm missing? This works for me (no tags are visible, formatting …
-
Gail, See my response on the other post. This looks like a fairly straightforward issue that should be fixable.
-
This was recently re-reported at http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/10330/save-to-zotero-google-scholar-not-working/#Item_4 . The issue is that when a user clicks on "Import into BibTeX" from search result in Scholar, Firefox displays the BibTex f…
-
Gail, I'm not sure why the seasoned troubleshooters haven't stepped in. If you can, it would help to submit your error and debug reports, from the Gear menu and Advanced tab of the preferences, respectively. The Zotero team finds the more complete i…

You might find it useful to bring this to the developers' discussion list, zotero-dev. Specifically, there is currently discussion of options for Lisp integration for emacs, see Access Zotero from Emacs. Hopefully we can settle on a stable way for p…
