Zotero on Firefox is considered stable. The stand-alone version and extensions for other browsers are in alpha release at this time. There is also the very nice compromise of running the Zotero+Firefox beta (more polished than the standalone alphas)…
-
Got it. An updated importer and exporter is now up at github, with support for importing tags and descriptions. Export is weak.
-
I just ran into this myself for the first time today, and boy is it annoying.
-
you can probably just copy/rename the 32-bit pdfinfo and pdftotext in your Zotero data directory and they should work. Have you even tried this?
-
I'd like to import tag data, but it looks like Firefox doesn't include it in bookmark exports. Tags would matter even more for delicious-- if someone can send me some example data, maybe I can get it to import.
-
Please go to http://github.com/ajlyon/zotero-bits/raw/master/Bookmarks.js and save the file to the translators directory of your Zotero data directory (http://www.zotero.org/support/zotero_data). Restart Firefox. Now just import and export bookmark…
-
I am definitely thinking of your CSL style to export bookmarks. I'll try to do this one soon.
-
I think someone here even wrote code to import bookmarks files, but I can't find it. There is absolutely nothing preventing Zotero from adding support for bookmark file imports, just it hasn't been done yet. It would only need to be an import trans…

I do wonder if newer data-heavy collaborative projects in the humanities and social sciences will bring such long author lists to the more fields in the coming years. Imagine Dan Cohen's work on Victorian book titles citing the entire Google Books t…
-
This would be a nice feature, but it is not yet supported by Zotero. You could do something like it with the coming duplicate resolution features, but it still won't be terribly smooth.
-
I had no idea Zotero supported OAuth!
-
Presumably this is for the proceedings of ACM SIGBIBTEX-EVANGELISTS.
-
Yes, this will be in the next version of both.
-
Can you describe what your desired webcitation+Zotero workflow would be? Would Zotero still take snapshots? What URL would be saved with the item? How would this affect citations? This is a technically simple idea, but it's not really clear how the…
-
Document is missing these fields: Place and Series Some people would like to add all fields to the Document item type. I don't know if that will happen for Zotero 2.1, but some kind of number and place seem pretty reasonable.
-
Bill, legislation/statute and case law could have "publisher-place" / "place" Bill, legislation/statute and case law could have "report-year" as well, if possible Are the places here for the place of publication of codices and compilations of case …
-
No, the problem is that Zotero currently has no way of telling how the items referenced by the Word file match up to the items you've imported into Zotero on the second computer. You need to copy the Zotero data directory from computer A (where you …
-
Don't use RDF for syncing. Use Zotero's built-in sync function, in the Sync section of the preferences. And feel free to post questions in your native language-- we have people here who can you help you in pretty much every major Romance, Germanic …
-
The questions raised by Alexius here have come up again in a discussion I'm having with some Russian Zotero users. The requirements are the same-- terms need to match the language of the source, bibliographies need to be sectioned by source languag…
-
This sounds suspiciously like a case of scraping the wrong doc -- if your target regex is too loose, sometimes you will end up scraping an iframe or something else. This frequently happens with things like "AddThis" boxes. And this discussion shoul…
-
First -- note that you don't want to use XPath like that. Try to identify a good @id or @name you can search from; counting divs and whatnot from the root is very fragile.
-
Thanks for pointing that out. I think I'll try to put all this in the Embedded RDF translator, which currently doesn't use the most widely employed vocabulary, the Highwire one.
-
But -- what if the full author list isn't shown anywhere in the style? Nowhere. A subsequent reader will just have to guess which (Smith, et al. 2000) refers to which Smith, et al. 2000. [..] in the bibliography? But I don't really do CSL theory, s…
-
It might have been possible to design Zotero's inserted code to be more concise, but there's no reason that development should have to consider how pretty or short the code is. Maybe the LibreOffice people will be more understanding? [edited -- Neo…
-
BTW, that whole mess is the meta tags that Google Scholar looks for, but I believe that they are not standardized or documented properly anywhere (or at least they weren't last time I looked). If would be very nice if they at least documented them …
-
I just wrote up basic code that does all that in JavaScript, and I'll look at implementing it here.
-
I took my advice and built this little translator that does most of what you need. It doesn't yet do search results or tables of contents, but I think it should work well enough for those of you who are desperate. I will also extend it to cover oth…
-
Confirmed. For some reason, the translator isn't able to call the RIS translator. The last line of debug output is:(3)(+0000000): Translate: creating translate instance of type import in sandbox Usually, there would be more output as the RIS tran…
-
If the HTML-like tags are the official way forward for rich text, the BibTeX and other translators will need to be changed accordingly. That has not happened yet.
-
The subscripts and italics will not yet be displayed nicely in Zotero's UI, unfortunately. Still, they're important for citation, and they will cite correctly.
