In the online library view, URLs in item listings are not active links. They probably should be. The links from http://www.zotero.org/support/ are in the form: http://www.zotero.org/support/doku.php?id=installation ; they should look like http://www…

I can try to compile and package this for 32-bit Linux systems, though I can't say C++ is my strong suit.

Persée is supported using the COinS translator, which is one of the embedded metadata translators supported by Zotero (http://www.zotero.org/support/kb/default_translators). Unfortunately, the OpenURL specification that it is based on doesn't suppor…

There's discussion on how to use Dropbox safely-- you'll need to put the "storage" folder in Dropbox, but keep zotero.sqlite out of it. Use Zotero's built-in syncing to sync the metadata. Search on the forums for more information.

You may find it easier to just re-download the items from Google Books -- Zotero supports one-click downloading from it -- then dragging your PDF onto the item.

Are proper names capitalized as well? If so, you're just seeing sentence-style capitalization, which is the best way to keep references in your database. When you output citations in styles that require Title Caps (everything but conjunction and pre…

I think 2.1.9 should be coming regardless. There's been a fair amount of work done on the 2.1 branch, including big, useful things like translator testing, and loads of smaller bugfixes.

No, there's no cache. Try reinstalling one more time from Github-- not sure what's causing this. What is happening when the import fails? Does anything show up in "Report errors" in the gear menu?

Note that creator fields can be requested from the API: https://api.zotero.org/itemTypeCreatorTypes?itemType=book https://api.zotero.org/itemTypeCreatorTypes?itemType=journalArticle

As adamsmith said, definitely post this to zotero-dev (http://groups.google.com/group/zotero-dev). I'd also encourage you to try using Scaffold (http://www.zotero.org/support/dev/translators/scaffold), since it makes the whole process much easier (a…

The first beta of Standalone 3.0 should be out in a matter of days; it was pre-announced today on the developer mailing list: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/zotero-dev/-/rYT4UsaGxh0J

It appears that Alejandro is modifying the ProCite export schema to include those fields.
-
bdarcus: I'm suggesting that Alejandro customize RIS.js for this one-time import. I don't think RIS has ways of representing translators and call numbers-- but here we just need a way to get the data into Zotero fairly cleanly. Inventing tags for on…
-
What I posted is a modified version of RIS.js that I made to fit your needs. The change you suggest for translators looks correct. I don't know where to suggest you upload the Procite export file-- it's not directly related to Zotero, and I don't k…

I'm using it on a regular basis, and it works quite well. The data layer is solid, and the problems have been limited just to the occasional UI glitch.
-
The RIS import doesn't yet support call numbers; I'm not sure the RIS standard even has a way to represent them. I made a custom version that imports callNumber from ZZ: Go to http://github.com/ajlyon/zotero-bits/raw/master/RIS.js and save the file…

I still don't see what caused this, but I'm confident that the 20 attachment limit should do the trick. If you have trouble making peace with the folks at ACM, please do have them get in touch with the Zotero team, since it's pretty clear that you h…

Can you provide the URLs of the offending pages? The ACM translator does download multiple PDFs when present for a single item, as requested by people who noticed that some pages had multiple relevant PDFs. It's possible that there are pages that wo…

If you're seeing pLink errors, you're using an outdated version of the translator. Install again from Github.

There is a long-standing bug that covers this: https://www.zotero.org/trac/ticket/1132 Something like this will need to happen when the long-awaited switch to a new annotation system finally happens (and annotations turn into something that can be …
-
Problems 1 and 2 sounds like Unicode issues. Zotero exports as UTF-8 by default-- this might cause trouble for some TeX / LaTeX workflows (XeTeX is UTF-8-friendly, at least). That said, Zotero is perfectly capable of doing all the entity replacement…

And for sharing subsets of the database, use Zotero groups (including private groups).

There have been some efforts to make Zotero work on Android by using Firefox Mobile: http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/17336/zotero-on-my-android-tablet-with-firefox-mobile/

Zotero works fine with Mac Office 2011 in general-- some isolated users have had trouble, but those troubles arise from specific configuration issues, and can affect Office 2008 as well.

The plugin ZoteroQuickLook can do this: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/zoteroquicklook/ and http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/11441/new-plugin-zoteroquicklook/

It's also possible to create a saved search / smart folder in your operating system of choice that shows all the PDFs in the Zotero storage folder-- this gives you the convenience of a single folder without the limitations.

lothwyn: If you're using a proxy and are getting an actual error message when saving, you're probably being affected by the bug in https://www.zotero.org/trac/ticket/1878 -- to use EBSCO at the moment, you'll need to switch to the 2.1 branch XPI of …

Judging from https://www.zotero.org/trac/changeset/10041, this will be a feature in the next major release of Zotero.

Which problem? There are several problems discussed above, from PDFs not saving to errors on saving.
