In that case we'll definitely have to wait and see what the core Zotero team can say about the error report-- ordinary joes like me can't read submitted error reports. Hopefully we can give you some useful information and direction.
-
Dan points to the cause of this in another thread. Suffice it to say that we'll fix this rather soon.
-
Ah yes. I was referring to an even more recent thread, just today. Do we anticipate any problems using no namespace? It seems like it should be safe enough, since everything is from one namespace anyway.
-
I don't know what to say-- hopefully our experts on the Word plugin can chip in-- but it would be useful to clarify what "Tumor Necrosis Factor" is. Is that something from the text of your document? Or is it the title of a paper you were trying to c…

These don't even look like Zotero errors. Try disabling all other Firefox extensions.
-
I can confirm that things are not working with these identifiers. Another recent post pointed to a similar issue with using DOIs. I'll be looking into these-- something odd is going on here.
-
I haven't quite figured out why yet, but Zotero can't manage to import from that DOI at all. It is trying to look it up, but then it chokes on the output. This is pointing to a problem in DOI lookups-- it finds the identifier right away. Since this…
-
If you can, post the PDF in question online and I can try to see why Zotero can't find the DOI.
-
It seemed to me that perhaps when parent items are created in such cases they could be partially or approximately populated from the information that was extracted when searching online for proper metadata. It seemed to me also that as a fallback it…
-
To fix this, just say what you'd rather see in each case. The Typ for theses is called "Type" in English, and I personally use it for things like "Ph.D.", "M.A.", "Candidate" (and similar things, sometimes including the field).
-
And you can switch the Zotero and Firefox interface language (and much more!) using Quick Locale Switcher.
-
If you just provide a better option, we can fix the translation for the next release of Zotero.
-
Well, it's more than just make, install, run. If you want to try -- go for it! The code is there. There is a build script in the repository.
-
Disable any Personas you might have enabled. Then try disabling all other Firefox addons. Usually this is caused by some interaction with Personas or addons.
-
I agree that the patch isn't good enough to actually land yet, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was really quite easy to do. I still have almost zero experience tweaking XUL, so I just changed the back-end behavior. The easiest fix th…

(Apologies to ZFS and its hard-working developers. I meant dumb in the nicest possible way, mainly to say that it doesn't know or care too much about the Zotero item metadata, which Shawkat is probably loath to lose.)
-
To put this a little differently, the file storage (WebDAV or Zotero File Storage) is dumb. It doesn't know which copies of Zotero have which files. It doesn't know anything about the metadata. If you for some reason need to use your own server for…
-
The third party referred to is one that provides a WebDAV interface to Dropbox, mentioned in the forums recently.
-
That type is not for item type, but rather for things like Thesis type. A tooltip should appear over the Type entry in the dropdown, listing the fields that the Type field corresponds to.
-
So reviewed author is currently just ignored? It turns out that reviewed author is used in Bibliontology RDF export, import from the Bryn Mawr Classical Review, and that's all. It is item type "reviewedAuthor" (id 27), but it doesn't look like Zoter…
-
Confirmed. It looks like the site has changed significantly since the translator was written in 2007. It will be necessary to completely rewrite the translator to fix this.
-
Relative is my term, speaking as an enthusiast but not a member of the team. All the code for the extensions is publicly available and open source, and anyone with interest in creating an Opera extension is certain to find the core developers more …
-
Opera will be supported by the bookmarklet feature, but the core team does not plan on making a fuller extension for Opera. That said, Zotero Everywhere shifts most of the hard parts of Zotero's functionality to Zotero Standalone (and the online lib…
-
See http://www.zotero.org/support/dev/creating_translators_for_sites , but unfortunately the documentation isn't terribly complete or up-to-date. I would recommend reading the pages at the link above, then taking a look at several translators alrea…
-
That page doesn't have any embedded data for Zotero to work with -- the only RDF metadata is the language tag. It would be nice if we suppressed the save icon in the address bar for pages where we know that we can't save correctly, but for now many…
-
See http://www.zotero.org/support/hidden_prefs , specifically the option "recursiveCollections".
-
I'm not sure when it appeared, but a similar function is already in place for non-PDF items-- Zotero gives the option of making them an attachment to a new item. I just wrote up a little patch to add this to Zotero -- I don't know if it will make i…
-
Yes, the styles will need to be changed some, once the syntax for specifying this kind of behavior is settled upon by the CSL community. I think that you should be OK if you use multilingual branch to store data for now-- perhaps Frank can clarify …
-
Yes -- it's not in the 2.1 betas, but it could conceivably still happen before the final release of 2.1.
-
This has been discussed, and you're certainly right that it should happen. Falling back to making a new parent item (perhaps of type "Document") is a very reasonable behavior, and I hope that it happens for Zotero 2.1.
