Ok-- I even remember seeing that one on the Mozilla bugs that affect Zotero list. I'll add something about this to the documentation if I can remember how to log in to edit docs (why can't there be a login link?). For now, the easiest and safest wa…

Is this persistent? Usually errors of this sort are intermittent and can be safely ignored.

We or you could modify the BibTeX.js translator to handle the paragraphing in a more BibTeX-friendly way. You'll want to modify the writeField(..) function, line 1823 in the translator, and add special treatment for the field "annote".
-
Well that's silly. In most ways, the standalone code is identical to the standard Zotero code, and this is a surprising an probably unintentional omission. Perhaps this can be sorted out in a future Standalone release-- otherwise your best option is…

That one is also better addressed by one of the resident CSL gurus.

Ok-- we'll have to get someone in here who actually uses the Word plugin. I can't offer much more myself, since I don't use Word.
-
The two entries above imported fine for me. You can send me a chunk of entries that replicates the issue-- my email address is posted on my forum profile.

Really? Try trashing your .zotero completely, then creating a new directory, say Zotero_Standalone_Test. Copy the entire contents of your 2.0.9 data directory there and open Standalone. When it opens, select the Zotero_Standalone_Test directory as t…
-
So you're saying that the import puts the sequential numbers in the Call Number field? That's very odd, since the RIS translator doesn't even touch that field (since RIS has no way of specifying a call number).
-
In 2.1, the plugins use the Bibliography style in Word; you'll have to modify it to match your needs.
-
I don't think that CN is a real tag (i.e., not in the Refman spec, not in the Zotero RIS translator, not in the wikipedia article on RIS). If you just need to get it into the record, change the tag to M1 or M2, and it will go into the Extra field in…

Initial synchronization can take a long time these days. You can speed it up by copying the contents of your Zotero 2.0.9 data directory to the .zotero directory, or completely avoid it by upgrading your Zotero for Firefox to the 2.1 beta and pointi…

You can still sync; the limitation on database size applies to the bibliographic data, which is always free and has no connection to whether you've paid for file storage.
-
I don't know much about the workings of the DOI system. Maybe. In any case, we don't yet have a translator for Communications, so this isn't an error with the ACM Portal, but just one of the many DOI metadata issues that arise daily.
-
The magazine archive doesn't have a translator; Zotero just catches the DOI. And the DOI isn't legit-- it has no data in the CrossRef database. ACM should probably be notified of this-- they should look into sending the correct data to CrossRef.
-
Re: Plugins-- Please report issues with plugins to the respective plugin developers. I think they'll have to make some changes for them to show up in the tab, but it shouldn't be hard.
-
Can you explain what you mean by crash? Did Zotero actually close, or did it stop responding for a long time? If it crashed, we'll need you to send the crash report to the Zotero devs for troubleshooting, but I don't know how to get a crash report f…
-
I don't see why the rights field is losing the leading zeros in when displayed as a column in the middle panel. I think that this should be considered a bug, since the field is not a numeric one. Imagine for example something like a UPC-- you can't …

Try disabling automatic syncing -- that's what I do in the archives.

An enthusiast has posted unofficial high-res icons you might use: http://recktified.com/?p=83

An enthusiast has posted high-res Zotero icons here: http://recktified.com/?p=83 I'm not sure how to install them in Windows, but I'm sure it's not too hard.
-
Looks like an error in the translator-- it was choking on items without a DOI. Fixed on trunk (https://www.zotero.org/trac/changeset/7898); it'll go to clients in the next release of Zotero or when Dan pushes it.
-
Did the images pasted into notes ever stick around? I know that they wouldn't have synced, but I thought that they were linked to temporary files that are prone to disappearing on, say, system restart. With some effort, perhaps we can intercept inc…

Actually, the interface isn't fixed, even after I install the XPI. Therefore I thought maybe it's the XPI.
-
I'm still seeing m2809 there -- shouldn't it be m7897?
-
One thing that is easy to miss is setting the language of headline entries-- you can left-click on the label in the info pane to set the language of the main entry. It's probably good to do this when adding variants in the several languages you have…
-
Note that if you're still using Firefox, you can actually use the Zotero instance in Firefox as your central repository, and the Safari and Chrome connectors can send citations to it. Type about:config in the address bar of Firefox and search for "c…

@Philippe_T There has been some discussion of adding support for splitting biographies by type. In other fields, people sometimes need to separately list published and unpublished literature, primary and secondary literature, or literature by langua…
-
Do you have Use Zotero for Refman/RIS checked in the Zotero preferences? Also, is there a reason you can't use the site translator for Google Scholar (folder icon in the address bar)?
-
Not yet-- but that will definitely happen in a subsequent release of standalone. And the other site translators will be fixed as well.
