The code ohthere references probably still works, but is a bit messy to apply. The problem is that Zotero would have to rearrange the tool buttons (locate, save, etc) when the panel is opened and closed, so it's not completely trivial to implement.
-
Yes, the duplicate merging system makes this much less urgent, but it would still be a fun feature to add.
-
Zotero often does save the page as currently displayed, dumping the current DOM. The NYTimes translator doesn't do that because it tries to get the single-page version, but we do try to use the DOM-based approach when possible, since it is faster an…

There is a known issue where Adblock prevents Zotero from saving NYT snapshots correctly. We've never worked out what precisely is causing this. NYT blogs are simply not yet supported.

I don't seem to have access to that item, but the translator is working for me in general. Take a look at http://www.zotero.org/support/troubleshooting_translator_issues and go through the steps listed there, including a Report ID as described in st…

Flickr has a dedicated translator. If you have a page that you'd like to enable the same feature for, see the exposing metadata documentation.

Zotero allows distinct windows to have their own selected collection. This is useful for many reasons (dragging between windows, using windows for wholly separate projects), but it leads to the situation you describe. I don't know what can be done a…

It is still possible to write a Cambridge-specific site translator that gets your call numbers from the page text, and building off of the existing Voyager code. You may want to explore such an option if Zotero compatibility is a priority. Informati…

Zandy does not have a way of detecting that collections or items have been deleted server-side. Sorry-- I'll work on this issue as I focus on the next wave of development in the coming weeks. If it's a major issue for you now, you can reset Zandy an…

Please go to http://github.com/ajlyon/translators/raw/master/MARC.js and save the file to the translators directory of your Zotero data directory (http://www.zotero.org/support/zotero_data). It should start working. If this works for you, please po…

Which of the subfields for 948 do you need? I see |a 20110907 |b jch70 |c ULCAT-h |d c -- I'm inclined to use just $a, but you know better.
-
So I'll add the 948 field to the MARC importer, and add the $b subfield for the 090 field as well. Thanks for pointing this out and for finding the underlying cause.
-
Please provide search terms to find the item-- that link isn't permanent and just gives me a blank page.
-
No need for access at this point-- the problem with DOIs is that they're using the general notes (N1) field for the DOI, while the RIS spec suggests M3, and many other programs use DO. We could program in a work-around, but Scopus should fix this on…
-
It should be working correctly now, pulling the holdings number. Works for me at UCLA, at least.
-
The Scaffold page definitely needs an update, since the text and screenshots are quite outdated. The Framework page is probably less than clear at present-- I wrote most of the text there, but that's no reason you should feel any compunction about m…

Zotero can't read RDFa yet, but we're eager to add solid support in the near future. and we have a good RDF processor in place to make that happen. So work with Drupal now, make good metadata, and we'll work on making sure Zotero reads it right. In …

Note: Zandy's WebDAV support is in Zandy 1.2 and later, but the version currently available from Amazon's app store is 1.1.3, so you will need to wait for the latest version to be approved by Amazon before you can try out that feature.
-
I don't actually need the DOI in the filenames, but rather the eight-character key (like ABCD1234) that Zotero uses internally. I'll see if Joscha can add that in a future release. As for WebDAV, Zotero's WebDAV support should work equally well on …
-
Oh-- it probably does. I was going my the text on Frank's site, which indicated that it hadn't landed in mainstream Zotero yet. If it works for the betas, that's great.
-
I've added the scanning to the issue tracker for Zandy (https://github.com/ajlyon/zandy/issues/69), but it looks like Zotfile would need to add support for including the attachment key in the filename to make this work.
-
You may want to explore the Abbreviations Gadget that Frank Bennett has been working on for legal styles: http://citationstylist.org/tools/?#abbreviations-gadget-entry It currently requires the experimental multilingual branch of Zotero, but you sh…

First, the bibliographic metadata that Zotero syncs is unlimited -- the 100MB of free space is specifically for attachments. The metadata for libraries is synced free without limitations. If you can set up WebDAV storage for your attachments, Zandy…

If you are familiar with Python, you can use pyzotero to create notes from the files and upload them: https://github.com/urschrei/pyzotero For an example of an automated upload using the library, see the CSV example linked here; you should be able …

I use rsync for backup still-- I was using it to keep the Linux and Windows partitions synced up, but stopped when I stopped booting Windows.
-
I don't know precisely what your script in step 2 is doing, but you can almost certainly replicate it by using Python (wrapped in AppleScript) and the libzotero Python library provided by (http://www.cogsci.nl/software/qnotero) for accessing your Zo…

I did essentially this for a while, and it works fine. Just be careful to sync only the storage folder and not zotero.sqlite.
-
I don't have Scopus access here, but it seems that the DOI isn't being included in the RIS output. Try exporting a reference for an item with DOI in RIS, and post the record here-- I'll see why Zotero isn't getting it.
-
The current RIS import doesn't do that, no. I'm a little hesitant to put all the remaining fields into the "Extra" field, but try this one: https://raw.github.com/gist/1395220/6555923b7b3060dc26ba1649123d7041db21b500/RIS.js Just save the file to th…
