  • So you can log into the forum with your email address and password, but you can't log into the forum with HenriJ and the same password? If that's the case, that's a little odd and the core devs may have to look into it. Unless something has changed…
  • The login and password should be the same ones you've used to log in to this forum.
  • Go to http://github.com/ajlyon/zotero-bits/raw/master/ESpacenet.js and save the file to the translators directory of your Zotero data directory (http://www.zotero.org/support/zotero_data), replacing the existing file of the same name. Then restart F…
  • The only case in which it should have been necessary to open the file to maintain compatibility was in the switch from Zotero 1.x to Zotero 2.0 and later. References can also break if you export and reimport items, for example to move them to anothe…
  • Yes-- if there are two files with the same translator ID, Zotero's behavior is undefined and not pleasant. In general, Zotero will run the current code of the translator for import and export all the time, and for a webpage after reloading the page.…
  • There was a stray period breaking the URL. Try again now.
  • No, it should be using the Highwire 2.0 translator still-- that version has only a small change to handle pdf+html pages correctly.
  • Try this updated version of the Highwire translator -- Please go to http://github.com/ajlyon/zotero-bits/raw/master/Highwire 2.0.js and save the file to the translators directory of your Zotero data directory (http://www.zotero.org/support/zotero_da…
  • See http://www.zotero.org/support/dev/translators/coding#notes for some more detail-- the full list of internal names for fields and item types is at http://gsl-nagoya-u.net/http/pub/csl-fields/index.html
  • ISI support does not yet include all databases, just WOS and CABI. I think we should be able to add more, but I haven't had a chance to do so yet. See also http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/16772, on missing support for BIOSIS.
  • I agree that an interface in Zotero for manually shifting items between sections to handle idiosyncratic sections is certainly going to be necessary, and I understand adamsmith to be saying the same.
  • I'm not sure why that _shouldn't_ work, but apparently it isn't. Would you be able to create the pointer text files in the user home directories? You'd only have to create empty files, so it wouldn't be as much overhead as making a copy of the exten…
  • This discussion should probably be moved to xbiblio-devel (http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_name=xbiblio-devel), since it obviously has implications beyond Zotero and is not about immediate solutions to the problem raised. For now…
  • Installing the Word integration site-wide may be a separate significant challenge, but the Firefox portion of it can be installed using the text file approach, and the Word add-on could probably be deployed in some MS-standard way. Dan will need th…
  • But this will only be possible as an automatic part of styles that require it if it is included, at least in some way, in the CSL spec. The magic in the CSL processors that make this happen would hopefully be made flexible enough that it could supp…
  • If the PDF is not being attached, it's likely due to some peculiarities of how the page is being displayed to you -- can you post a copy of the source for an article page to http://gist.github.com and put a link here?
  • I pretty firmly disagree-- we have well-documented situations where citations are split into sections by type (primary source/archival source/secondary source in many places, book/thesis in the present French case) or by language (GOST styles, cover…
  • I just made a small change that might help: Please go to http://github.com/ajlyon/zotero-bits/raw/master/Informaworld.js and save the file to the translators directory of your Zotero data directory (http://www.zotero.org/support/zotero_data). It sh…
  • The schema should probably be http://emedien.sub.uni-hamburg.de/han/8724_0/%p
  • The correct solution is to treat these are their normalized equivalents (fl, &c.) when we do the database queries that underly searches. The database software allows this, but it looks like Mozilla doesn't include that module (see mention at htt…
  • Although this would optimally be handled by Sqlite through proper collations--- I know that matching and collation were supposed to become more flexible with, iirc, Firefox 4. Still, I'll look into it.
  • That would be quite nice-- and I don't think it would be that hard to patch into the existing code. I'll take a look at doing this.
  • It's pretty ridiculous that the OCLC system requires the hyphen-- since of course it will be stripped out. I can provide you with an RIS importer that forces the hyphen, and validates the ISSN, if you're interested. It's pretty clear that ISSN will…
  • I think this method might no longer work in Firefox 4 in Windows, though, which would be pretty bad. Still works fine on OS X (and I assume Linux). Still works for me under Linux.
  • The approach for running an SVN build of Zotero should also work for referring all Firefox profiles to a single copy of the extension: http://www.zotero.org/support/dev/svn_and_trac_access#running_an_svn_build_of_zotero
  • This version has the AB and DO logic in it, and some logic to account for missing spaces in the input, as often happens. I'm a little hesitant to add much more logic to SN processing-- as we've discussed, the hyphen in ISSN is purely cosmetic. I ha…
  • I've put together a version that forces uppercase on types. Please go to http://github.com/ajlyon/zotero-bits/raw/master/RIS.js and save the file to the translators directory of your Zotero data directory (http://www.zotero.org/support/zotero_data)…
  • Note that the new translator is designed specifically for the version at worldwide.espacenet.com
  • And XSLT is interpreted by many free clients, including Firefox, but also Saxon and more. To edit the Refer translators, take a look at the translator documentation (http://www.zotero.org/support/dev/translators) and at the actual translator, which…
  • XSLT is a language and system for converting XML from one form to another. It can be hard to get a handle on, but it's actually quite flexible and powerful, and often the best option when you have to XML formats that need to be interconverted.
