This sounds like a locale issue. English uses "2nd", "3rd" -- German, Russian and many other locales use "2.", "3.".
-
Can you provide example citations for grants, from the documents you do produce that use them? The question of whether it will work is tightly bound up with what exactly you need to produce as output. I have an inkling that Report (and a custom sty…

Do you have any connectivity problems with the laptop? Perhaps a flaky connection? I don't know how robust the sync system is for computers that intermittently lose the connection. This sounds like a case that will need Dan to look at it -- I'm jus…

See http://www.zotero.org/support/csl_simple_edits for the basics, and CSL documentation linked to from there.
-
No -- the citation processor in the 2.0.x and below versions of Zotero doesn't recognize compound first names for initialization purposes. The Zotero 2.1 beta incorporates a new processor that was designed to support many cases like this that just c…

Does this still happen after restarting Firefox? There was a major upgrade to the server side of the sync system this weekend, and my understanding is that wait times and such should be drastically reduced. If this is a large initial sync, you may w…
-
This all started because I ALWAYS was getting multiple copies of references I suspect this arises when you auto sync. It doesn't. Something else was afoot, and it would be worthwhile for you to keep using autosync. If you don't trust it after this e…

See http://www.zotero.org/support/csl_simple_edits I think you'll be best off starting with the Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology style if you really just need to move the date. Styles by request do eventually happen, but there's always a back…

Does the Vancouver style work without modification for you? If not, please see http://www.zotero.org/support/requesting styles and provide the necessary information on how the requirements differ from Vancouver. If it does work without modification,…

Just select the other style from the document preferences by clicking the preferences icon in the Zotero toolbar.

I've reworked my code to handle ISSNs as well, and fixed a little bug in the check digit calculation. See https://www.zotero.org/trac/ticket/1604 for the updated version. I still don't have the chops to patch this into Zotero myself, but it'd be ni…

@Adamsmith: Are you not seeing this behaviour?
-
This could conceivably be related to Firefox 3.6.11 -- a change that caused an interaction between Zotero and AdBlock?
-
I can confirm that I see the same behavior -- NYTimes snapshots aren't saved correctly with AdBlock enabled. Firefox 3.6.11 for Ubuntu, AdBlock 1.2.2, Zotero 2.1b1.

I like pizza, but I don't know how soon I'll be able to do this.
-
Well, keep using the patched version for now. If it doesn't cause any trouble for you in your usage of JSTOR, we can look into doing ISSN cleanup for all items saved from JSTOR. Post here to let me know that all is still well if you notice no proble…
-
Thanks for looking into this. Normalization, however, only solves the problems of precomposed and non-precomposed letters. Matching of adorned text (/Entsiklopedii/ matches against "Ėnt︠s︡iklopedii") and matching by base glyph (/Dundar/ matches ag…

If you can contribute an English-annotated sample of Japan/Marc, we'll look into how it can be interpreted from the Zotero MARC translator. Post a link here or on the developer list: http://groups.google.com/group/zotero-dev/t/2fcf290cacb05c83
-
The use of non-use of precomposed characters has ramifications for disambiguation and sorting CSL as well. Frank generally has a test for everything under the sun, but maybe precomposed characters have slipped by.
-
I ran into similar issue with Unicode equivalence that is making author autocompletion rather inconvenient -- the names "Dündar" and "Dündar" are treated as distinct with regards to completion. The difference is, as with the combining ligatures abo…
-
Yes, the references in the OO document should work identically with all Zotero instances that are synced with the same Zotero.org account. Just enter the Zotero username and password in the new installation, sync, and things should work fine.
-
The NLR catalog might be hard to accommodate, but I'll add it to my list of targets. In the shorter term, I will make sure that Zotero can handle the Russian version of the UNIMARC library interchange format, RUSMARC (http://www.rba.ru/rusmarc/, Eng…
-
Interested parties may want to follow the ticket on this: https://www.zotero.org/trac/ticket/1202 There has been some progress, so you may want to try the two test translators attached to that ticket. Your feedback is welcome.
-
Well... It still might be easier than emailing the files each time. So it looks like there might not be a good solution at this time.
-
There is a function in the translator toolkit that is used to capitalize titles -- it is used rather sparingly in actual translators, and the preference controls only the behavior of that function. Furthermore, translator authors can override the p…
-
You can now download my untested modified version of the JSTOR translator that should address this. Please go to http://github.com/ajlyon/zotero-bits/raw/master/JSTOR.js and save the file to the translators directory of your Zotero data directory (h…
-
Oops. If JSTOR is regularly not including the hyphen, I suppose I could modify the translator to add it. Still, though, the hyphens in ISSNs and ISBNs should never be treated as anything but presentational polish.
-
As for your laptop - well, if it's a single core 1.5Ghz (and I guess, what six or seven years old?), then yes, that's pretty slow, but the major factor will be how much RAM you've got. You want something like a Gig to run Windows XP smoothly. Less c…
-
I don't believe that the Zotero updates system handles styles that are not hosted at Zotero.org. This is probably for security reasons. It's not unreasonable to post even an imperfect style to the Zotero repository, and you could even request SVN a…
-
The ISSN and ISBN fields are currently treated as free text. There are some common ways of inserting hyphens into ISSNs and ISBNs, and usually software that handles them just ignores non-numeric characters. I'd echo adamsmith's question-- what prec…
