Good; thanks. Jim P.
-
Thanks; I was not editing items in a group collection at the time, but I'll let you know if issues persist. Regards, Jim P.
-
Okay, will pressure our IT folks to upgrade...I guess it's difficult during school semesters!... Jim
-
Okay, thank you again for your careful response; I sure appreciate it. We'll process this a bit more and figure out a workable procedure on our end. I may report another sync issue soon (on another thread), but will investigate it a bit first. Jim
-
Well, after getting more feedback from students and thinking about the above for awhile, I have a few more thoughts: (1) Not all students who had problems syncing were fixed by the latest dev XPI. I was thinking we could manually update their group…
-
Okay, thanks. I think we can construct some rules/recommendations out of the above. Regards, Jim
-
Okay, I'm understanding this a bit better. Basically, what is apparently required are two users modifying the same tag or collection, though this doesn't always trigger an error. This is interesting in that, for the most part, our students are work…
-
Right, so my interpretation of what you say above is that this could possibly happen merely by syncing an old version, not necessarily by doing editing (e.g., of tags) in the group library, then syncing. Anyway, once we experienced the problem (aga…
-
Here's one affected student's reply to my query, and he is reliable and tech-minded...possibly would it happen simply if the local tagset doesn't match the server tagset? "I can confirm that I did not change tags before attempting to sync and have …
-
Yes, certainly, and we will recommend the same...I don't know why they wouldn't have it on, unless e.g. their login information is incorrect. (There will still be students who aren't yet using it outside of course requirements, so they won't have s…
-
Okay, so as a procedure, we could recommend first syncing before doing any work with tags, and this should solve the problem. It's good to hear that it's not about earlier versions. I'll check with affected users to confirm the above. Thanks, Jim
-
Well, I'm not sure about the conflicts between tags thing: the cases I'm aware of don't necessarily involve users changing tags, then syncing. As far as I know, the user simply reports that s/he starts up Zotero and it hangs upon syncing (from an ol…
-
PS -- I've temporarily restricted Library Editing to "Only group admins"...not sure if this will avert the above sync issues from group members or not!
-
Okay, the behavior noted above by prooney has happened again and undid a huge amount of collection title (and potentially tag) edits we made to our shared library this AM. I did hear from a student who had problems syncing today (on a shared compute…

And another: " D1125409671. The build was r10804."
-
Okay, here's an update from another student: "Here is my new debug ID: D1301794822. This is with build version 3.0.1.r10804."
-
Okay, with the 3.0 branch dev XPI I've received one debug ID of D2043583208 from a student...thanks!
-
Here's another from a second student, also with current version/database integrity confirmed: D102336423.
-
Okay, debug ID D1906930002; version and database integrity were checked by this student, and all are apparently good.
-
Okay, will do, and will be back with updated info when I get it from my students. Many thanks, Jim
-
Yes, that makes sense...I initially retitled journal names sentence case and it just looked plain weird so I put them back to title case. Thank you! Jim P.
-
Thank you! I sure appreciate your looking into style tweaks, and will convey sentence case as preferred to our students. Regards, Jim
-
As a quick update, the other two major styles my students use -- APA and MLA -- don't seem to be appropriately set for title casing; jmac62 seems to be correct, and I can't tell 100 percent with APA but the code I have suggests no use of setting tex…
-
Thanks for this fascinating conversation. I'm heading up a set of shared bibliographies in a higher education setting, and we want to establish certain rules that will make these biblios work for a number of output styles; do accomplish this, it sou…
-
I've solved the issue: a previous thread mentioned SEASR as the culprit, and I disabled it within the Zotero plugin but didn't remove it from Firefox; now that I have, it all works fine. Jim P.
-
Yes, you seem to be correct; I've edited out another http:// in a plugin js call, and the a href's with Zotero links don't seem to be breaking anything (it wouldn't make sense!). Example research project mashup calling Zotero feed (see bottom middl…
-
I'd be interested if others have found a way to export a Zotero tag cloud, e.g. via the API. Many thanks, Jim
-
Thanks; interesting, but from error console (Zotero 2.1.8, SEASR 0.4.1, FF latest) it looks buggy and I could only get it to work (barely) when tab mode disabled in Zotero, and then it only displayed a tag cloud image, not a clickable tag cloud...if…
