  • Please paste the RIS that triggers the error.
  • Try again-- 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). It should start working again. If this works …
  • Probably. I'll do some real testing this time.
  • Zotero's new notification of when it's proxying is an important feature, but it's becoming clear that it needs a way to turn it off. You can probably expect some tweaks to this in coming Zotero releases-- no way to get rid of it now.
  • 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). It should start working again. If this works for you, plea…
  • This is apparently a bug in Zotero's formatDate function, which is just being very naive about date formatting across locales. I'm going to just stop using formatDate in RIS and enter YYYY-MM-DD instead, since that's locale-independent.
  • We can't dictate any changes to styles like that, since WebCite doesn't dictate how journals and the like require citations to be formatted. I'm willing to start experimenting with adding this to translators for my personal use to see how it affect…
  • I think this is a Zotero issue, but I don't know where to look yet for a fix. I'll try to see if I can get it to show up for me.
  • It doesn't address the problem of private-use styles, but the style ID can (and probably should) be a URI that resolves to the actual style itself. A reasonable expectation is that Zotero would prompt to install a style found in such a way when it c…
  • Don't we want to be able to do parsing in many/all locales? This is something we need to work out as EDTF wraps up and we look at moving to a new parser. Anyway-- not a discussion for the forums, I suppose.
  • I hope it will be pushed, but I don't know if Dan will. Otherwise, it will appear when Zotero 2.1.7 comes out. In the meantime, your colleagues can install from the Github link above.
  • Fix committed. Should be in the next version of Zotero.
  • That's great to see, even if it doesn't quite work yet. I can't really contribute much until I get a Firefox-running phone to work with, but it looks like we might be able to get Zotero running natively on these phones.
  • Not sure when that changed, but it seems that Zotero is formatting the date to match the locale when it imports RIS-formatted citations, like Science and many other sites. This a purely cosmetic issue, and you shouldn't keep seeing it in new citatio…
  • Can anyone provide images? I'm interested in seeing how this all looks.
  • But it is worth mentioning that SSL has been having some bad days recently: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/04/11/state_of_ssl_analysis/
  • The files are all encrypted while in transit -- that's what SSL gives us. Adamsmith is right-- sniffing HTTPS traffic is much harder than any of a thousand ways for security services to find out what you're doing in your classes.
  • I don't remember what made SL hard, if anything, but it's on my short list of translators to work on when I'm feeling up to it. RIS export and DOI should work for now.
  • This isn't really the place for such general advice on securing computers, but I don't know if I would ever make the assumption that things I share with my students have much chance of being private. Teaching is about openness, at a rather fundament…
  • The way the RIS translator works, we can pretty safely map additional input fields. I just don't want out-of-spec hacks to multiply unmanageably in RIS.js. DO and AB are extremely widespread, so I think we can afford to handle them (import them, not…
  • I have some RIS fixes that might address this issue. 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). If th…
  • Try this version-- I agree that we can be a bit more flexible in our input, since there are some unambiguous widespread abuses of the spec that we can anticipate and handle already on import. Please go to http://github.com/ajlyon/zotero-bits/raw/ma…
  • That one works for me in RIS mode. Can you paste the problematic data that won't import from the clipboard here?
  • I can't replicate this. It's an odd error-- my only guess so far is that we're seeing something funny with the matching and the translator is running on the wrong document. Can you provide debug output for a save attempt?
  • Thanks for nailing down a page that doesn't work. Please go to http://github.com/ajlyon/zotero-bits/raw/master/NCBI PubMed.js and save the file to the translators directory of your Zotero data directory (http://www.zotero.org/support/zotero_data). …
  • The local ID being discussed is a citation label, which could be used as a BibTeX key, but could also be used for author trigraph (AMS) styles. The latter case is not user data, but it also will depend on the styles and therefore the label forms the…
  • Works for me. Can you provide an error report ID for this error?
  • http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21494540 works for me. Does the magic wand (Add Item by Identifier) work using a PMID?
  • The sync server and API server support only HTTPS. This can be cracked, of course, but it's probably not the weakest link in your security. I'd be much more concerned about a student computer with a trojan that gave access to the library locally.
  • I'm out of ideas. It looks like everything should be working. Can someone from the core dev team take a look at the debug output and offer some advice?
