First of all, apologies for still not having worked on this myself. Second, adamsmith's advice is correct. They should post to zotero-dev, and we'll help out. If they have questions that for some reason can't be aired in a public forum, they can ema…

That's because the translator is rather inflexible and even case variations break it. The version now at https://github.com/ajlyon/zotero-bits/raw/master/Highwire 2.0.js works. I'll get this into SVN when I'm back at an SVN-equipped computer, unles…

Also, Mendeley's csl implementation seems to be more buggy, so you might just be running into that. Note that the CSL implementations in Zotero and Mendeley are the same at their core, starting with the Zotero 2.1 betas. This should be a great thing…

At some point, a patch was posted to the forums that made it possible to reduce the right pane even more, and hide it completely. I remember that it worked at the time; you could keep searching in the forums and see if it still works.
-
Stubs and comments in new translators would be nice-- can you propose some boilerplate text? There's no reason we couldn't add something like that to Scaffold.
-
New translators are empty. What do you expect to see in the Code window? There should be output for detectWeb, at least if the translator outputs debug messages during detectWeb. I'm not sure whether it's supposed to output anything if detectWeb re…
-
What version of Zotero are you using? I am having trouble with Zotero 2.1b and the trunk XPIs, but that has only affected detectWeb and doWeb.
-
Michael, Thanks for contributing here. It would be rather simple to rewrite the translator to use the metadata embedded in the page code. See https://www.zotero.org/svn/extension/trunk/translators/Institute of Physics.js to see how the translator c…

I've just finished working out a workflow for doing conversions -- it's a little clunky, but it works. See https://gist.github.com/734012 I haven't put in the time to polish off the feature, but the idea is that I add a new menu entry to "Convert a…

I'm now using the Zotfile plugin to streamline photography of books and archival documents-- in combination with a tethered camera, it's great. I did have to edit the file type regex to add support for JPG -- it would be nice if images were support…
-
But the answer to "Can you help me?" is certainly "Yes!". We probably can't do it for you, but we're glad to provide advice and feedback as you try to convince to publishers to make improvements or try to learn the art of translator writing yourself.

I tried to implement an IOP translator with a try-catch fallback from DOI to RIS. It didn't work, and I'm not quite sure why. There's only one translator that currently works that way (kudos to Frank/fbennett), and I hope to replicate it for some ot…
-
The target expression is only part of the problem -- I can submit the translator that I posted here to be pushed to clients, but I'm not sure that it's better than letting clients fall back to DOI, since CrossRef has better data. Do any IOP DOIs wor…
-
You can try the translator modifications I'm proposing, as I note above: If you'd like to try my work-in-progress translator, go to http://github.com/ajlyon/zotero-bits/raw/master/Institute of Physics.js and save the file to the translators directo…
-
There is no feature to automatically save items. It is possible that a site translator is acting up, and you are getting extra items from search results when you save, but I've never heard of that happening. Do any of the items have useful data in t…
-
The workaround doesn't work correctly in Zotero 2.09 and in Zotero 2.1b, do to a bug that appeared when the rich text editor integration was reworked. Hopefully (ahem...) this can be fixed before Zotero 2.1 final, since it breaks image embedding (un…
-
I don't think erluck53 is talking about visibility online. A way of showing items not in a collection has been discussed for some time-- the only simple way of doing so now is to create a collection with all your items in it, and make all other coll…
-
I think I'm inclined to agree on the import issue-- maybe a tag and saved search could be created on import, but the items would go to the currently selected collection? As for site translator errors that are causing this to be needed, please post …
-
It is probably exporting in a standard format regardless-- hopefully in RIS. Export as txt, then try to import it into Zotero using the gear menu. You can also open the file that Endnote creates and paste part of it here -- we should be able to tel…
-
You will need to export in RIS or BibTeX format, then import that into Zotero, by selecting Import from the gear menu in the Zotero pane. See: http://www.zotero.org/blog/making-the-switch-to-zotero/ http://whyihatetheropods.blogspot.com/2009/03/go…
-
My impression is that Zotero is being more cautious about data segregation among users, in contrast to a certain other service that does something like what you suggest. It would of course be great to have such a metadata repair service, but it woul…

The Library of Congress often has better results, but it doesn't have this ISBN either. Some searching reveals that it is a PDF-only report published by the National Academies Press (http://www.nap.edu/catalog.php?record_id=12780), and that page has…
-
Short answer though is-- use Zotero 2.1 beta and enter the tags yourself.
-
But this is a known issue -- there isn't yet consensus or a decision on how it will be addressed, but handling for these common date-like terms is planned.
-
Fixed in the repository (https://www.zotero.org/trac/changeset/7404). This will go out with the next release of Zotero or when Dan pushes it. Thanks for catching this.
-
This will hopefully make it into Zotero 2.1 final. It is supported by CSL, so supporting it is relatively simple. See the types whiteboard for 2.1, a set of proposals-in-progress that will eventually lead to the set of schema changes that happen for…
-
Sometimes RIS files are served in ways that makes it hard for Zotero catch them-- if the MIME type is different or the file appears to Zotero to have a file extension other than .ris, the interception might not happen. I'm not going to be able to l…
-
If we find that there are entire classes of DOIs that are registered with a non-CrossRef service, I suppose we could make the lookup system fall back to other servers. Still, I think that all DOIs are supposed to have data in CrossRef.
-
We can change the exporter, but we can't just stick the number arbitrarily. To do this, you'll have to identify how you want the report number to be represented and hopefully find a way to do it without breaking standards-compliance. I could also he…
-
Since this is a fairly small change, I'm going to go ahead and commit it to the repository. Hopefully this will go out with the next release of Zotero (next beta of 2.1). There are also larger reworkings of the RIS translator on the way to better a…
