Zotero has a Word plugin just for that: http://www.zotero.org/support/word_processor_integration
-
Making this an opt-in, with the additional condition that all publicly viewable user and group libraries are automatically opted-in, seems reasonable to me.
-
I'm using Frank's builds of Zotero on a regular basis, and I think that they're fine for most power users of Zotero, who make regular backups and who are fine with the occasional display / UI glitch. The risk of actual data damage or loss with the m…
-
It's totally possible to contribute. I have no clue what has been done on this front, but see http://www.zotero.org/getinvolved/ and send a note to zotero-dev (http://groups.google.com/group/zotero-dev), and maybe the core developers can help get yo…

To clarify, Simon is saying that at present, the trunk and 3.5a2 are identical. As the linked page describes, the trunk can in general be unstable or untested--- it's just the case that as of now, no changes have been made since 3.5a2 was packaged a…
-
Something like this is nominally on the roadmap: http://www.zotero.org/support/development_roadmap But it's been there for a while, and I don't know how close it is to becoming a reality.
-
If you're developing a piece of desktop software, you may be able to write it as a Firefox plugin and integrate with Zotero that way. Otherwise, the infrastructure for server-side translators, which I referred to, is currently being quite actively d…
-
They're pretty clearly ordered alphabetically by author, then title, although it looks like the style specified to order by author, then issued date. Can you try going to http://www.zotero.org/styles/ and installing the Chicago Author-Date style aga…

Zotero's API currently only allows access to user and group libraries-- it can't yet do anything with the bibliographic data embedded in other websites. That said, it will become possible in the relatively near future to send sites to the API for pr…
-
The specific bug where links and image links are mangled in the rich text editor appeared several months ago, and it is a known issue that will hopefully be addressed in the relatively near future, but no one has had the opportunity to identify the …
-
Frank-- Would you mind writing up an issue in the Github issue tracker for such a type? (https://github.com/ajlyon/zotero-bits/issues)
-
It's not the case that articles should never be ignored in institutional names -- we wouldn't want "The University of Ohio" to sort under "The". Los Angeles is confusing because the article isn't an article in English, but the article list is multil…
-
I've created a ticket and patch for this-- hopefully it'll be fixed in the next release of Zotero (https://www.zotero.org/trac/ticket/1859).
-
Mendeley has pretty dismal support systems-- they often encourage people to write emails to their support email directly, but that means that the community doesn't develop the ability to support itself and each other.
-
Thanks for pointing this out. The problem is that Zotero wasn't able to read BibTeX that had no linebreaks whatsoever. Please go to http://github.com/ajlyon/translators/raw/master/BibTeX.js and save the file to the translators directory of your Zot…
-
Mendeley has failed to include some of that information (date, publisher) in the COinS data (http://www.zotero.org/support/dev/exposing_metadata/coins). The author ordering appears to be a fault in Zotero and I'll look into it. We could get slightl…
-
ssauerw: I'm not seeing this problem on the ScienceDirect page you linked, although the DOIs were being truncated, and that'll be fixed in the next release of Zotero. Rintze: I believe that is already fixed in the translator trunk and should come o…
-
Unless we're going to come through with a fix for the overall workflow for PDF metadata lookups / parent items in the Zotero 3.0 cycle, and I'm afraid that might not be in the cards, I'm also in support of adding this context menu option for PDFs. W…
-
Yes, this has not yet been addressed. It's not likely to be fixed unless an interested user contributes a translator, or the publisher can be convinced to embed Zotero-readable metadata (unAPI, COinS, RDF), or to write a translator for the site. In …
-
Wiley is no longer using RIS, but I've fixed the author issue: Please go to http://github.com/ajlyon/translators/raw/master/Wiley Online Library.js and save the file to the translators directory of your Zotero data directory (http://www.zotero.org/s…
-
I even made a patch to create an item when lookup fails, but the workflow wasn't very smooth. I may yet get back to that, but I've already promised a few other features that may take priority.
-
If your PDFs are mainly text (that is, they aren't full of images, or scanned pages from older journals), you might be OK with 1 GB, but once you get closer to 5000 citations, you'll certainly need to upgrade to 5 GB. Since upgrading is painless, yo…

WorldCat informs us, via Twitter, that this should be fixed as of July 14. http://twitter.com/#!/worldcatorg/status/89077503565643776
-
That's the way the forum works-- it notifies you of the first response to a thread you've been active on, but it doesn't notify you of any further activity until you visit the forum again. That is, you will only get one notification between visits t…

And does Polish really not use short month names at all? If so, you could probably repurpose the short terms to cover the case "maj 2011" (month + year), making appropriate changes to the CSL. This is of course not a perfect solution, but it'd work.
-
Do you have any examples of when we would need multiple cases of a single term (apart from the month names)? I brought up the same issues for Czech and Russian some time ago, and similar issues with plurals, but then I couldn't provide any examples …
-
The site currently uses the DOI default translator (http://www.zotero.org/support/kb/default_translators). We'd have to write a new translator to add PDF saving.
-
I think you're right -- this is probably just something that was overlooked when Zotero got two different pages fields-- there used to be only one "pages" field, IIRC. https://github.com/ajlyon/zotero-bits/issues/38
-
That markup in the incoming is just wrong. Springer should be notified-- there's no reason that BibTeX should use HTML character entities in that way.
-
I use related for most of this. If you are using Word or Open/LibreOffice, you can insert citations and never create a bibliography, then just copy-and-paste those citations into a different document, and they'll work fine after being copied.
