It still won't work for me.

Zotero server is always free. It syncs your data - the size of which is unlimited within the technical means of Zotero. Here, "data" refers to your bibliographic data. Zotero items and notes. File data, in the form of the actual attachments of vari…

But note that since Zotero is open source and open to innovative user contributions, it would be possible to build a plug-in for Zotero that did search in context. That would be nearly impossible for Endnote, and their past behavior might make you w…

In this case, you should probably use the "Extra" field. I use Location in Archive for such information on physical location of documents (but not a serial number). No fields enforce uniqueness, but you could keep track of the next unassigned number…

I don't think my changes should have caused this, but I made some changes to support your catalog. It works in my testing with other InnoPAC sites as well, but it should be tested before release. Please download the updated version here and save th…

I'll look into this. I made changes to the InnoPAC translator recently, which is what is used for your catalog.

Guest mode has not yet been fixed. I made the recent fixes to PDF saving, but I have not looked into guest mode.

We ran into another book of type "other" some time ago, maybe a month. At the time, I resisted adding a condition for it to the CrossRef translator since I wasn't sure of the format that CrossRef uses for such items. Now that we have two instances o…

On another matter, is there a way of asking to include new categories, for example, newsletter, or a whole special journal (and not by each article). This are on the vaguely-defined long-term roadmap. Unfortunately, I don't think that they'll be co…

A "Y" indicates that Zotero has found a year. An "M" indicates a month, and a "D" a day. Mouse over to see what Zotero is interpreting the date as. Zotero shows it as "YYYY-MM-DD" in the tool-tip that appears when you mouse over the date.

Note that the style likely requires the use of the first name (or possibly initial) when two different Ramos authors are cited. Double-check your style guide. If you are completely sure that you don't need the disambiguation, it is possible to modif…

Have Mozy back up only the "storage" folder within your Zotero data directory. The remaining information is backed up by the Zotero server or is not important for your purposes. (Well, the sync server provides one kind of backup-- you may still wan…

Then click "Show file" and open the file in the application of your choice. Non-snapshot attachments can already be opened in external applications, and usually are (PDFs, etc.) There is not a common use case for snapshots to be opened in external a…

That is all possible within the current framework. Translator documentation is at http://www.zotero.org/support/dev/creating_translators_for_sites and the links from there, but most of it is for site translators. You'll want to look at the current …

Zotero does not support custom fields, but usually there is a way to accomplish what you need using existing fields. What specifically do you need the Wikipedia citation template export to do that it does not currently do? Are there missing fields? …

You know how these things go. Translators are rarely written unless a self-interested person goes out and learns how to do so. You're right-- there should be a translator. I am not likely to write one in the short term, since I still have a lot of s…

Are you using Zotero 2.0?

The PDF logic was in the translator, but it seems that it has been broken for time immemorial. The updated translator that now saves PDFs is in Zotero SVN (https://www.zotero.org/trac/changeset/6932). It will hopefully get pushed to users soon. Oth…

This is the typical case of a DOI where the CrossRef OpenURL resolver doesn't resolve correctly, but the DOI redirect (dx.doi.org, for example) does work. I don't know why these happen, but Zotero can't resolve them since CrossRef doesn't seem to ha…

I'll see what the translator hackers have to say about this and get back to you. It does look simple enough.
-
They often make small changes, but it is still fairly easy to keep up with them. Some other sites are much more complicated.

This has been pushed (Thanks Dan!), so your copy of Zotero should update automatically in the next 24 hours, or you can click "Update Now" from the Zotero preferences.

rekcor and Jon Rubin: In the updated translator now in the repository, your issues are all fixed. You can save the updated translator (https://www.zotero.org/trac/browser/extension/trunk/translators/Informaworld.js?rev=6920&format=txt) to the t…

I like Shift-Click. Shift-Ctrl-Click to open in new tab. As I've mentioned before, this would be really quite nice with select:// URLs.

If you have recently updated Zotero, it's possible that there is a zotero.sqlite.bak file newer than June in your Zotero data directory.

Previous threads on links and related fun in TinyMCE include: http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/8306/testing-zoteroselect/ http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/6393/spell-check-notes/ Really, we should switch to something else, but the Zotero team…

Two things at work here: 1. I fixed this specific issue in the Informaworld translator quite some time ago, but it was never pushed to clients. 2. There was a new issue where the translator would erroneously show the book icon but still save this co…

Darn it. It is broken for me too. Informaworld is familiar territory for me -- I'll try to get this fixed for you.
