I don't know of any reliable and comprehensive databases for US dissertations that you could use to replace ProQuest/UMI, and those that you'd find may not have the UMI numbers. Good luck.
-
If it's just a matter of small style adjustments, and you're submitting in just days or weeks, do it manually. If you have 2 months or more, you should probably make careful backups of your documents and database (which you were making regularly al…

Sounds good to me. Then I'll close the ticket on trac as well. No need to sweat over migration artifacts.

Search for each number in the ProQuest dissertation database and click the thesis button in the address bar to save it to Zotero. If this doesn't work for a dissertation, post the URL or accession number and I'll see what's up. I believe our ProQues…

If you're about to submit the thesis and 2.0.9 is serving you fine, don't switch yet. No need to tempt fate. But the switch should be perfectly safe, and it may even resolve your syncing problems, since the 2.0.x series hasn't seen any bug fixes sin…

I'm having trouble identifying other pages that show this problem-- it appears to only affect older IHT pages. Since these pages are rare and missing the main metadata we use, I'm inclined to ignore this small limitation of the existing translator. …

Just drag them into the group library. That's all. No import. No export. The only limitation to this is that the collections can't be dragged-- just the items. So create the collections you need in the group, drag the items there.
-
Just delete all the files it identifies. These are files that might be harmful, and they were saved as you browsed some of thornier pieces of the web. Zotero just saves the page you have open in Firefox, the same as Firefox caches the pages you view…

I went ahead and committed this to the repository, since I'm pretty sure it'll work for everybody: https://github.com/zotero/translators/commit/ec5e41f27ce5c280e3d3255ad0a4ab3f41c4803e Still, post here if any issues come up as you keep using the tr…

For those who are comfortable using a little Python to massage CSV into Zotero items, I've posted some example code that uses the pyzotero library to import items from CSV into Zotero. It uses the server API, meaning the items won't show up in your …

Please go to http://github.com/ajlyon/translators/raw/master/Google Patents.js and save the file to the translators directory of your Zotero data directory (http://www.zotero.org/support/zotero_data). It should start working again. If this works fo…

Discussion of thesis advisors should continue in the main thread for the topic: http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/9136/advisor-as-an-author-type/#Item_14
-
This was raised again today, in the context of a project that seems to want this for non-citation purposes: http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/8565/other-author-types/#Item_18
-
The thesis advisor / supervisor is a pretty common request. It would be very helpful if you could point to a citation style that requires it, so we can document that this is a necessary addition. In the meantime, the non-specific "contributor" type…

Dan's point covers the main thing that threw me off-- I took Zotero 2.1.8 to mean that tortugamarina was using Firefox 5 and just mistyped. tortugamarina: Try running the updated code from within Firefox and let us know how it goes. Also, it'd be …

What specifically is unsatisfactory about Document and Presentation? What information would you like to include? If you mean ISBN, then they're planned for Thesis and Report in the next revision of the item fields.
-
Changeset 9830 says:Adds "Create New Item from Current Page" context menu option. We can add a toolbar button too if we can come up with an icon for it. This is on its way.
-
Dan: Can you post the relevant portion of the error report?
-
How are annotations currently stored by the apps that provide annotations?
-
Double check http://www.zotero.org/support/troubleshooting_translator_issues -- and submit an error report (http://www.zotero.org/support/reporting_bugs) and post the report ID here if it still doesn't work.
-
My master document experience was painful enough that I don't want to try it again. Stick with well-tested features like basic files and Insert File.
-
I've added those to the ticket. I'm hoping Dan can comment on this and say whether he'd rather go with a whitelist or simply allowing all protocols. There are conceivably security implications that justified limiting the protocols in the first place.

The Zotero team isn't about to make an iOS app simply because it doesn't have the resources to write a new client for any additional platform. The website revamp will presumably have improved mobile support, but that's about all we can hope for for …

Yes-- it looks like I was a little hasty. Still, we have a day to go before the promised fix is to happen.
-
This is planned for the next revision of the Zotero item types: https://github.com/ajlyon/zotero-bits/issues/16 It would be useful, though, if you could provide documentation for a citation style or journal that requires publisher information for j…

That's happening because the interface currently freezes up a little while the text of a PDF is being indexed for searching. There are plans to change things so the indexing happens in the background, preventing this annoyance, but that hasn't happe…

Don't use "Empty recycle bin"-- you need to empty the trash within Zotero to free up space.

This appears to be working now. If you are still having problems, please post.
