It should -- does it work for you?
-
This sounds like text clippings, which have long been a poorly explained but fun part of the Mac world-- a file-like representation of clipboard contents. I'd be surprised if they were dropped from OS X, but I don't use a Mac anymore and can't verif…

I've updated my draft RIS translator to do the same for conferencePaper
-
This is fixed for book sections now at https://github.com/ajlyon/zotero-bits/raw/master/RIS.js Try saving that into your translators directory and exporting again. @adamsmith: What precisely do we need to change for conference proceedings?
-
In short, it's not always a straightforward process, but what adamsmith and I have written is about all I can tell you without diving into the code and explicating the whole thing. Is there a specific issue you are trying to address here?
-
That depends on the translator. For some sites, we download an RIS or other bibliographic data file. For others, we try to extract the info from the page content or embedded metadata. If you're curious, the best and only way to really see what's goi…

Based on my reading of the standard, page 9, dates should only be included for disambiguation purposes-- in my testing, dates are currently used even when there is only a single citation in the document (and thus disambiguation is certainly not happ…

The RIS issue is, I believe, a bug. The specification (http://www.refman.com/support/risformat_tags_02.asp) is as vague as always, but I think we should be able to suppress the comma on names with only one part. You can try downloading my patched RI…

Well... In that case it really should be there. Empty the trash and try syncing again.

Simon is referring to the CrossRef data at this address: http://www.crossref.org/openurl/?pid=zter:zter321&url_ver=Z39.88-2004&req_dat=usr:pwd&rft_id=info:doi:10.1093/ref:odnb/17902&format=unixref&redirect=false If Oxford regist…

You searched for "NATIONAL REVIEW" in the abstract field using advanced search? Note that the quick search doesn't search all fields (iirc).
-
You will need to search for your name, then click the folder icon in the address bar and select the needed publications. Unfortunately, it looks like Zotero is not currently able to download PDFs from ADS -- it might be possible to modify the site …
-
The DOI detection isn't perfect -- at one point, it was detecting the Ubuntu default search page in Firefox, since it found 10.10, the version number. So this could be an erroneous detection on Zotero's part. But if there really was a DOI on the pag…
-
You may want to look into using WebDAV -- your department may already provide it, and it's free to use with Zotero (your WebDAV host, internal to the department or a private company, might charge for it).
-
You'll need to create new items using the (+) button in the Zotero pane, fill in the metadata, and drag the PDFs onto the new items in the middle pane.
-
I think I saw something like this mentioned in a commit to the Zotero repository several weeks ago, but it doesn't seem to have made it into Zotero 2.1b2. You are certainly right that the pane should scroll.
-
Dropbox is an option, but there is a very serious risk of data corruption if you use it or any other synchronization program on the entire data folder. If you do use Dropbox, you must make sure that Firefox has been closed and the folder fully synch…
-
The PDF problem is unrelated. The DOI problem is not something we can fix -- the CrossRef lookup service tells Zotero that it doesn't know about that DOI: http://www.crossref.org/openurl/?pid=zter:zter321&url_ver=Z39.88-2004&req_dat=usr:pwd&…

Some people have redirected the feeds through something like Yahoo! Pipes to get around limitations like this.
-
The main style creations person has said that he is short on time these days, so I imagine he just hasn't managed to take a look at it yet. You can also try to make the changes yourself; see http://www.zotero.org/support/dev/creating_citation_style…

See http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/6735/protocol-handler-for-zotero/ It's not as easy as it should be, but there are stable internal references that you can use.
-
I believe that this is intended to be part of Zotero Everywhere, which should be coming relatively soon.
-
You'll need something like: item.attachments.push( {url:temp, mimeType:"application/pdf", downloadable:true} ); Your current code is simply replacing the contents of item.attachments each time, rather than adding more elements to the array.
-
This should be done with a translator, as you had done before (I was using the same feature), since the ID and key are internal Zotero fields that shouldn't be and aren't accessible from CSL. Can you generat debug output and report errors for an at…
-
There's currently a discussion on the zotero-dev list on changes to RIS.js to improve Endnote support. I'm not sure if the ET issue in particular has been raised or addressed, but hopefully the current discussion/proposal will lead to improved suppo…
-
The tpages issue has been fixed in the Zotero trunk and should work in 2.1b3 when it is released (https://www.zotero.org/trac/changeset/7347).
-
In that case, I'll commit to making an Openlibrary translator, once the RDF side of the 2.1 betas is stable and ready to go.
-
So when you saved articles, did it get all of the data? Authors, newspaper name, date? I believe this would have worked in Zotero before the second beta, but you would have had only the page title and the date, plus the automatic snapshot. In the …
-
Perhaps this is linked to the translator changes in Zotero 2.1b2? This error looks suspiciously like a side-effect of sandboxing. Translation using Embedded RDF failed: message => rdf.Zotero.RDF is undefined fileName => chro…
-
The Guardian doesn't have a translator. You're seeing the Embedded RDF translator, which is failing since the page doesn't define a title (required for Zotero items) in the embedded metadata. Edit: Embedded RDF doesn't require that the title be def…
