This is now fixed in the Zotero repository and it will be fixed for all users in the near future (https://www.zotero.org/trac/changeset/6350).
-
This is not likely to happen -- where would you expect the file that is linked at location c:\research\papers1\123.pdf on computer A to go when computer B syncs with the server? Zotero can't go around creating parallel file structures like c:\resear…

It might be feasible to implement this as an import translator that reads bookmarks files like the ones that Firefox, IE and others can export (http://kb.mozillazine.org/Import_bookmarks#Import_from_another_browser); the format is straightforward HT…
-
If you would like for the organization to show up as the creator in citations as well, then just add it as a creator for the items in question. Organizational authors are not that uncommon.
-
Great to hear that they were receptive to your feedback.
-
Unfortunately, it seems that the Vertov project is currently dormant or dead. It would be nice if it were taken up by some group with a long-term interest in maintaining it, since it provides a nice set of additional features for Zotero. I would per…

What about holding on to EPs and appending them to SPs as they come? Something like, in my awkward pseudocode: for each tag => value: if tag is EP: if (sps.length() > 0): ranges.push(sps.pop()+ "-" + value) else eps.push(…
-
Try out http://freecite.library.brown.edu/welcome . Copy and paste the bibliography section from the PDF you are using and that site will try to parse it. Zotero can import those references that can be parsed.
-
And dowens -- are you sure that you're not defaulting to the DOI translator? The detect code for EBSCO is broken, in addition to some other logic, so individual articles probably aren't working.
-
At some point, shouldn't EBSCO have to provide its own translator if it's going to keep breaking things like this. There probably is a quick fix, but I wasn't able to get it fixed in first shot at it. The translator code is rather hairy, but I will …

I'll try to take this for a test drive with my multilingual sources and see how it works. Thanks for doing this -- this is one of the features that I am most excited to see.
-
In the case of the NBER translator, it appears that your proxy is catching the URLs inside the RIS file and adding the proxy information to them. We could try to switch to MODS or BibTeX, which NBER also provides, but I don't know if that will help.…
-
I think this appears when translators try to pull tricks to get a good stable URL into the URL field; I have a potential fix for the ACM translator that might address this. Please take a look at http://github.com/ajlyon/zotero-bits/raw/master/ACM.js…

According to an FAQ on the NEJM website, they have moved from Highwire to a platform called Atypon. Unfortunately, we don't yet have a translator for Atypon journals. This is likely a fairly high priority, but I don't know when one will be ready.
-
Yes, it would be nice. Unfortunately, it takes a fair amount of time to create a translator -- from 45 minutes to several hours, depending on the developer's experience and the complexity of the job. There are thousands of sites that would be great …
-
Unfortunately, COinS is quite imperfect, and it doesn't handle this. Look into using RDF or unAPI; the latter can be used to serve RDF, MODS, BibTeX.
-
I knew there was a reason I was glad I never used Endnote. We are patient in explaining how to move back in forth in the forums, and we have extensive documentation. I suppose that's enough bowing to the market. Especially since we're probably not a…
-
As for making RIS export work with Endnote, it seems to me that we could bow to the market and make importers and exporters that supported Endnote idiosyncrasies -- perhaps an RIS (Endnote-style) translator. There's an import issue as well, right?
-
I like this idea. Is there a reason we couldn't always highlight the containing collections? Perhaps it could be a problem for items that are in a great many collections.
-
No. The current development team doesn't have the resources to completely rewrite Zotero. As has been stated time and again, motivated developers or deep-pocketed supporters are welcome to work on extensions for other browsers that could interface w…
-
Is there any reason that fallbacks registered for the "error" event in a translator wouldn't be called? This isn't the only case where there are multiple data sources that might need to be called upon, one if the other fails. Looking at translators…
-
Apologies for the delays. I've been traveling a lot and haven't been doing much on translators. I may be getting back to this soon -- but others are welcome to take a look.
-
Writing here is certainly the right way to start hashing out a new section like that. The relations in a Zotero library are in fact quite useful-- so long as I make note of the reference in my notes on a given item. They are not useful without anno…
-
And for a look at the actual form of the data, look at the source for the citeproc-js demo.
-
You may find it useful to look at Frank's work creating citeproc-js (http://bitbucket.org/fbennett/citeproc-js/wiki/Home); specifically, you'll see that the input data for citeproc-js is in the form of JavaScript objects. The Zotero trunk can speak …
-
I use it regularly to connect notes and articles they discuss, or book reviews and the books they review, or even book chapters and the books they comprise. The most useful and common use case for me is definitely in notes, especially since links to…
-
I worked on it again, but I'm still running into some issues with my approach to falling back to RIS data. So no solution yet, but maybe soon.
-
While I wouldn't hold my breath, see JetPack (https://jetpack.mozillalabs.com/). But really, any change to a new standard extension system will be equivalent in work required to a port to a wholly new platform. Another 300-500 thousand in funding, a…
-
@beogl: That would be nice, but it's certainly not worth their while. Extensions have free run of the Firefox innards, so Chrome would need to have -- essentially -- a full copy of FIrefox inside it.
-
As for this effort, I imagine that the notes editor is running into an issue where TinyMCE isn't loading correctly. Don't know much about it. Good luck.
