Well, Zotero will probably settle on one set of shortcuts and stick with it for all locales, at least at first.
-
While you're modifying that page, please fix the link for "Write a translator to make it easier for zotero users to ingest content" to point to http://www.zotero.org/support/dev/translators
-
And if this is documented somewhere, like the style guide, we can change this in the style in the repository as well.
-
You'll want to set demote-non-dropping-particle to never, as an attribute in the cs:style tag.
-
Have you tried the 3.0 beta? It includes a pretty thorough-going overhaul of the citation insertion mechanism, possibly including the changes Simon refers to.
-
Some guidance on donations would be nice. I couldn't find any mention of donations in the Zotero site at all, which seems unreasonable. Perhaps something could be added to the "Get Involved" section?
-
Interesting. I wonder why they took down the link. You can donate to the Center for History and New Media, the home of the Zotero project: [link removed — Zotero is no longer affiliated with CHNM/GMU] CHNM does other things as well, so a gift to th…

Are you using the desktop version of Zotero or the online one at Zotero.org? In the desktop version (in Firefox or Standalone), you just need to click on the item in the middle pane, and look at the right pane, where you usually see item details. Th…
-
Go to the Trash, highlight the item you want to restore. In the right panel, above the item info is a button to restore to your library.
-
This shouldn't be happening-- I'll see if I can pin down the cause. By the way, there is a group of researchers working on a complete RTL overhaul of Zotero; they're focusing on Farsi, but the work could presumably improve Hebrew support as well.
-
Having just recalled that Z39.50 isn't traditionally built on standard HTTP, I retract my statement that this could be done in translators alone. SRU might still be a valid target.
-
I have seen SRU. I think that z39.50 and SRU should both be explored as possible future translators... And then, presumably, we would build a plugin (later to be merged into the core) that let people send an arbitrary query to a number of enabled lo…
-
If I write a z39.50 translator, we could use it to essentially add any major library or database to the current lookup system, which only uses OpenSearch at present (and OpenSearch is not a major standard for the library world).
-
I've updated GS again to use the same XPath in detectWeb and doWeb. Maybe that'll do it.
-
And now we have two bars at the top of the page. I don't see where people are getting these pages that trigger an error...
-
See that nice red bar at the top of the repo status page? We weren't doing any checking in detectWeb, which was probably triggering an error every time someone tried to retrieve metadata for a PDF and failed. Let's hope that little nit stays fixed--…
-
Multiple authors will be imported by Zotero if they are are in distinct rft.au entries. Packing them into one entry is not what the OpenURL specification requires, and it really just an abuse of the format. Notify the site maintainers, and feel free…
-
Well, you are petitioning development by posting here; the core developers (Dan Stillman, Simon Kornblith) read pretty much every post. I'm not sure how hard this would be, but it sure doesn't seem like it should be too bad.
-
I think that should be possible, but no one has really looked into it yet.
-
The Y2 entry is invalid-- the field should have a secondary date of some sort, and ")" is not legit. I'm always amazed at how bad EndNote's RIS export is, considering that it was developed as part of Refman, now part of the same parent company.
-
You need to identify one or more references that don't import, and post them here so we can see what's preventing them from importing correctly.
-
I know that we discussed this by email at length over a year ago, and I think I'm currently in favor of using codes, especially since recent movement on the BCP 47 front is going bring us comprehensive transliteration and translation support within …
-
Wait -- I thought we can do this in the latest versions of Zotero and citeproc-js, since language is being mapped now.
-
No, COinS wouldn't do it. If your code is pretty easy to generalize, I'm sure the Omeka folks would be happy to see it posted somewhere for others to use when they need a solution more robust than COinS.
-
Thanks! Now to fix these errors...
-
But I thought that Omeka had its own robust Zotero metadata exposing feature... As another CHNM project, that would be pretty logical.
-
Zotero understands the following formats: "rdf_zotero", "rdf_bibliontology", "mods", "marc", "unimarc", "ris", "refer", "bibtex", "rdf_dc" Set the unAPI format list response to send "rdf_bibliontology" and it should work.
-
What code are you putting into the page? You need to indicate the unAPI server, and provide the id in the text. Example from the WordPress unAPI implementation below. In the header: In the text, for each item on the page:
-
Thanks for the added details; this list is certain to be pretty useful. The last thing I'm looking for in it would be an indication that an error report is old-- that is, mark which reports are from versions of translators older than the latest one.…
-
Thanks for upping the number visible. What's going on with the outdated translators? There are people out there with three different ScienceDirects, two DOIs... Is that just people with updating off? Or something else?
