I haven't worked with the plugin code at all. Dan? Simon? Can anyone follow up on Jon's suggestion. @lilmspiano: Can you try Jon's suggestion of shrinking the Word window so that only one or two citations is visible? Does Word start working more qu…

Unfortunately, I don't know how to give feedback directly to the developers. You just did, and there's also the zotero-dev Google group. Have you tried editing the integration plugin to set that option? Does it in fact improve performance?

As for displaying the eight-character full ID (library ID + item ID), the easiest approach is to use a purpose-built translator. I have one that makes little hyperlinks that point to Zotero items-- download http://github.com/ajlyon/zotero-bits/raw/m…
-
And even if there were, you should note that it's local to a particular Zotero install. Not quite. It consists of a library ID and an item ID, and the combination is supposed to be completely stable and unique. It would be broken if you exported RDF…

A naive question-- why can't the sqlite database file simply be copied to a webdav server to make the metadata available? Well, you can do that. It isn't the most elegant approach, and it wouldn't be equivalent to real syncing, but a good many peopl…

The ticket has not been worked on. Zotero is currently falling back on the DOI lookup system, which can't attach PDFs. I'll add this to my queue of translators to fix, but there are a lot to work on, so I won't promise a quick fix.
-
That's essentially what I mean. What that means is that Zotero can't really decide for you when series should be shown, so it is necessarily the author's job, if she wants to limit the use of "series" entries, to prune them from the database or remo…

Ok. You need to find and open the program Notepad on your computer (if you're using Windows) or TextEdit (if you're using a Mac). From inside that program, open the file you exported using Endnote. Select the first section of the file, copy it and p…
-
You have run into one of the little inadequacies of Zotero's data model. Newspapers should definitely support volume and issue numbers, but they currently do not. I would use Magazine Article in the meantime. [Zotero people: Can we make a point of …
-
Go to http://www.zotero.org/support/kb/importing_records_from_endnote and carefully follow the instructions, specifically about exporting as "Text Only". If you run into additional issues, please start a new thread to work them out-- this topic is a…

Thanks for the patch -- it works in my testing as well. I've committed it to the repository (https://www.zotero.org/trac/changeset/6138).

Online sources seem to agree that is "not required": http://www.covenantseminary.edu/learn/library/guides/turabian/ ; http://guides.lib.byu.edu/content.php?pid=61223&sid=450096 I know that the informal practice in Slavistics is often to omit t…
-
I believe that I have fixed this, but you need to use the "Wejście dla katalogującego", the cataloguer's interface, for it to work, since the reader's interface (Wejście dla czytelnika) doesn't have a link to the MARC data that we are using. Please…
-
Neither of the approaches that we have taken to fetching data from Primo installations seems to be reliable enough to work well across all libraries. I have worked some on improving the original PNX-based approach, but it doesn't provide enough info…
-
Aside to Zotero devs: I'm having trouble detecting when the CrossRef translator fails-- is the "error" handler of translator objects actually implemented? I've tried providing an "error" fallback that calls the RIS importer, but it never gets called…
-
I rewrote the translator to make it work again. Please go to http://github.com/ajlyon/zotero-bits/raw/master/Institute of Physics.js and save the file to the translators directory of your Zotero data directory (http://www.zotero.org/support/zotero_…
-
Got it. There is not yet a single solution to that issue, which is certainly a common one. I try to make sure that I mark the library for each call number I record, and I add notes to items for which the various holdings details are particularly imp…
-
There seems to be something wrong with the metadata for that item in the CrossRef registry of DOIs, which Zotero uses to fetch details on items from that site. The raw data that Zotero is getting on that article is actually missing an article title.…
-
There is a stable unique ID for items in Zotero -- see http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/8306/testing-zoteroselect/ for some information that might be useful. The IDs that are mentioned there should be unique and stable.
-
There's not much we can do to improve Google Scholar's results, but you might want to try collecting the DOIs of the relevant articles and using the magic wand icon in Zotero (Add by identifier), since the service that it uses (CrossRef) often has a…
-
The communication between Zotero clients and the Zotero.org server is encrypted and as secure as, say, traffic to bank websites. I'm not sure exactly what you are asking about. If this doesn't answer your question, please explain in more detail in …
-
You certainly don't need to, nor should you, convert things to BibTeX in order to import. Please take a look at some of the simpler translators to get an idea of how they work. If you are familiar with regular expressions and the bare bones of progr…
-
While you can count me in as one of the non-BibTeX-using opponents of multiplying options for BibTeX.js, I'll reiterate my advice that the Zotero+BibTeX crowd look into building off of LyZ to make a Zotero-specific utility for the various hoops that…
-
Also, MozRepl is probably the most stable project to give you access to Zotero from outside Firefox. I believe that it is used to generate the citation previews in the styles directory of Zotero.org.
-
Yes, that's possible, but it probably won't be easy. Take a look at Kieren's work on zotero-browser for ideas: http://github.com/singingfish/zotero-browser
-
Also, how difficult would it be to allow CSL export of citation of the highlighted item in results_box to clipboard? Since Gnotero works by reading directly from Zotero's Sqlite database, it doesn't actually use the Zotero extension's code, so it do…
-
Good to hear. Can you please try a number (10-15) of DOIs from non-Cochrane sources using the magic wand button, just to make sure that I didn't break anything with this patch? I've been testing and it looks fine so far, but this needs more extensi…
-
In hopes of getting this pushed before Dan retires for the night, I committed the updated translator to SVN: https://www.zotero.org/trac/changeset/6114

Do you have this? * IBM PC or compatible microcomputer * 512K memory * One floppy disk drive for small conversions. A hard disk is recommended * MS-DOS 2.0 or higher. Microsoft Windows compatible. If so, the makers of Library Master ca…

My first version of this patch broke all DOIs. The updated version, at the same URL above, does not. Comments are welcome.
