Have you tried disabling Zemanta, which you apparently have installed? Note that the first error isn't a Zotero one, but rather a Zemanta error.
-
The only way to rename lots of authors now is to create a saved search for, say, "Doe" and comb through the items. Batch editing is planned, but I don't think there is a timetable for it yet. As for your side question, no, but I think that such a f…

Bare PDFs will be the bane of your library if you don't associate them with items. Create an iterm manually and drag the bare PDF onto it. You don't need to reimport the PDF to do so.
-
Glad I could help.
-
If you have a collection selected when you add the items from Google Scholar, you won't have to search through your entire library to find what you've just added. If you have a collection that contains the item-less PDF, just select it while adding …

In all these instances, the possibility of selectively remove references within a group or add new ones to an existing group would be of great use. This is possible in Zotero-- just click in the citation and click the edit button in the Zotero toolb…

But on re-reading the thread, it looks like date ranges are not yet being handled on the Zotero side, so this is more than a matter of simply flipping a switch -- the date parsing code in Zotero needs to be updated to handle ranges (and some or all …
-
For some reason, I thought date ranges were supposed to work in 2.1. They are certainly supported in citeproc-js, the new citation parser (http://gsl-nagoya-u.net/http/pub/citeproc-doc.html#dates). If they aren't happening yet, perhaps this can stil…
-
If you just need this for data processing, you could implement this as a tag-- format it some special way like ":place:Seattle, USA". The selection of fields available for each item type is largely dictated by citation needs, and since known styles …
-
I can confirm this, but I don't have a fix yet. It's still on my plate-- a fix will happen, hopefully soon.
-
I don't really read French (many others here do and will add their responses), but if I understand you correctly, you're asking about support for the Système intégré de gestion de bibliothèque databases. If we don't currently support it, please refe…

I'll look into this today (Moscow time).
-
It sounds like your download manager is intercepting the incoming files -- try disabling it.
-
And if we land it on trunk, I'll try to learn enough about programming the Zotero core to help support it-- I feel for you trying to support citeproc-js single-handedly.
-
I do think it would be good to get your patch up to speed, Frank. Maybe we can get it into the trunk while the 2.1 betas are still happening and provide some temporary workflow to address this problem inherent to research.
-
For a number of reasons, Zotero doesn't usually provide great, detailed errors when translators fail. In most cases, though, translators fail for reasons that we can't explain in well-written error messages -- the failures have to be debugged by peo…
-
I think this is planned.
-
noksagt is correct here -- the data in the CrossRef database is incomplete. You can try reporting this to the journal's publisher-- perhaps they can update the metadata with CrossRef. This should be an isolated case, and you'll have to enter the da…
-
There's a reference somewhere in the file that's causing problems on import. Try one half of the file, then the other-- then split the half causing the issue and repeat until you figure out which reference is causing the problem. Post it here and we…
-
Is there any hope for addressing the UI space issue with a shorter translation, or should this be committed to the repository for the next release of Zotero? If the latter, then can someone with commit access to the locales directory make this chang…
-
Can you reasonably fix this without mangling the French too much?
-
I don't know much about this-- I only really do translator development -- but I think that the key sections are in searchDialog.js and searchDialog.xul . That said, I don't see what's wrong either. I still think this has to be a problem with the lo…
-
Just a guess, but are the appropriate terms defined in the French localization of Zotero?
-
You know the drill: https://github.com/ajlyon/zotero-bits/raw/master/Highwire 2.0.js I can't replicate the latter, but the first is indeed an issue with ToC parsing on Oxford, and it was probably broken before the recent update. My fix could use so…
-
Actually, such data is often in MARC subfields, so it might be possible to make changes to select only the real series data. Of course, some databases do just provide low quality data. Garbage in, garbage out.
-
Changes committed to repository (https://www.zotero.org/trac/changeset/7328). This will go to users with the next version of Zotero or when Dan pushes it.
-
I'll look into this.
-
Except that Zotero isn't only for citations. I hope there's room in Zotero's roadmap for increased flexibility with regard to what makes it into citations; a somewhat similar case is the Edition field, which is sometimes used because the researcher …
-
In general, I think that marking something as consisting of one volume isn't very useful, but there is a part of me that doesn't want to throw away correct, meaningful bibliogragraphic data. Perhaps Zotero could be smart enough to not pass it on to …
-
If there is a specific translator or catalog that gives "1 volume" everywhere, I think we could reasonably suppress it in the translator. I don't think that that is valuable bibliographic information (but reasonable people may disagree-- I could see…
