So are we OK with changing to comma-delimited, inverted names in our BibTeX export?
-
Completely a fair criticism. Unfortunately, names support is hard. The only part of the hack that is particularly dirty is for dropping particles, so most people can use the two-field names rather naively and get correct output.
-
The particle issues are discussed in citeproc-js's Dirty Tricks: http://gsl-nagoya-u.net/http/pub/citeproc-doc.html#dirty-names Dropping particles have to be in the first name, it seems. Of course, this is all a bit of a hack-- I still hope to see…
-
So given the current recommended practice for entering particles: lastName: Johnland firstName: John, de and suffixes: lastName: Frankson, Sr. firstName: Frank we'd get author lists like: Johnland, John, de and Frankson, Sr., Frank instead of th…

I feel like this has been discussed, and that the local BibTeX experts have a good reason for the current behavior, but I can't recall what it is. Hopefully one of them will show up and explain.
-
This is a pretty conscious decision, because otherwise there would be no way to save a simple snapshot of the current page for pages that have a translator. This might not be a problem for IEEE Xplore, but there are pages like, say, a list of search…

This is now in the main repository and should be fixed for everyone in the next release of Zotero.
-
Please go to http://github.com/ajlyon/zotero-bits/raw/master/BibTeX.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 for you, p…

\o and \O? This can be fixed pretty quickly, I think.
-
I think the letters were simply overlooked. What's the correct LaTeX way to represent them, apart from using Unicode?
-
Of course. I'm not sure something this non-original would even be subject to copyright, and I sure hope it isn't subject to patent law, but I grant unlimited, worldwide and permanent licenses to any and all rights and interests in this code and the …
-
I know it doesn't actually expose anything to the translator that isn't ordinarily available-- and this isn't a big deal at all. You never know what people might accidentally do if they misinterpret the icons in the personal library.
-
But what if I want to? I also have trouble seeing why it would be necessary, but it's a surprising violation of the general rule of translator behavior being completely blind to the local database and its contents. Still, maybe there's a benefit-- …

I seem to remember this being intentional, but I don't remember the logic behind it.
-
Continuing the tangent, and accounting for Persian mathematics: var N = 677; var key = ""; var X; var letters = ['a','b','c','d','e','f','g','h','i', 'j','k','l','m','n','o','p','q', 'r','s','t','u','v','w','x','y','z']; // length …

Please submit a debug ID for an attempt to save from the site (http://www.zotero.org/support/debug_output).

In that case it sounds like the startup folder is not accessible by your current user in OS X-- you need to set it to be writable by your current user, not just the administrator user. You'll need to do Get Info on the Startup folder and change the …
-
I think the 2.1 branch should be good enough here-- while you could try to match the tagged 2.1.x releases with standalone versions (and there's little downside to doing so), the drivers have been pretty conservative about branch commits, and the 2.…
-
This is pretty basic, and I haven't tried it at all.. but it might work. var key = ""; var letters = ['a'..'z']; // length 26 do { key = letters[N % 26] + key; N = (N - N % 26) / 26; } while ( N != 0 );
-
Thanks for the progress updates-- please feel free to update the wiki. It'd be fun if you could make unofficial binaries for the trunk and 2.1 branch available for download-- it looks like the standalone alphas are on a pretty infrequent release cyc…
-
The citation insertion window has some well-known deficiencies-- it doesn't support selecting columns for display, for reasons no one seems to know. Hopefully this can be addressed in a future version of Zotero.
-
No, now I see why multiple downloads isn't going to happen. We'll do without it for now, since I don't fancy rewriting the lot of it in regular expressions... This is now in the repository. It should be in the next release of Zotero; in the meantim…

11,000 is a good deal smaller than the largest collections I know of, which are closer to 40-60K. The number includes child items, like notes and attachments.
-
Also try adding a saved search for recently added items-- I have ones for last 10 days and last day.
-
This is now in the main repository and will be in the next version of Zotero, if Dan doesn't push it to clients before then.
-
So this is pretty clearly sorting by author, then title. What version of Zotero and what specific styles have you tried?
-
Nice work--- I've commented on the Gist, but the hard work is done. If you decide you'd rather not deal with the multiple, I can do it. Hopefully we'll get this out to all users soon enough.
-
I've just confirmed-- the existing translator is completely outdated at this point. This would make a good Framework translator if anyone is interested (http://www.zotero.org/support/dev/translators/framework).
-
I mentioned in the other thread that if you exported and reimported all or part of your library at any point, the linkages the affected items in your library could break. Could that be what happened here?
-
This version should work-- let me know: Please go to http://github.com/ajlyon/zotero-bits/raw/master/IEEE Xplore.js and save the file to the translators directory of your Zotero data directory (http://www.zotero.org/support/zotero_data). It should …
