(Simon is the senior developer in charge of word processor integration [among other things], and very knowledgeable indeed.)

The aim is not clear from your note. Do you want to eliminate all traces of Zotero from the document? If so, "remove field codes" will do that, but the document will of course lose any connection with the Zotero database used to create it. If your a…

Stephan, Thanks for your patience. I've been distracted by the same purpose -- enabling cross-disciplinary, cross-jurisdiction collaboration by getting the integrated suite of MLZ styles into shape. I'm working through a round of proofing today, an…

I only touched the pages on the site I maintain. Someone else should deal with the KnowledgeBase field; I don't know the content there well.
-
I added the warning a few minutes ago, after seeing your post. :) There probably won't be any moves on the code itself until the next major Zotero release, since much will presumably change with the facelift to field mappings.
-
There is now a warning at the top of each page.
-
That's great. You can leave the plugin in place for now. Be sure to remove it when you upgrade to the next Zotero version that comes out, though, so that the processor upgrades normally. Other than that, it's back to work for both of us. :) Thanks …

Great to hear, thanks for checking it out. One final favor: could you visit gear menu -> Report Errors, and check to see if there are any errors relating to "zotero-processor"? There shouldn't be, but just to be sure.
-
@Utopia2012: Try installing this plugin (no need to re-upgrade). It will replace the citation processor in your Zotero with the latest release (which contains a fix for this bug). If the document that was broken continues to work normally after ins…

The file isn't valid JSON. The plugin should complain rather than failing silently, but that's why the import is failing. (On a quick check the only problem I spotted were unescaped double-quotes inside quoted string content, but there may be other …

adamsmith is suggesting an advanced search for Attachment items. The Orphan Items listing under My Library is something different.
-
The abbreviations plugin won't help with this, unfortunately. This will require some form of "hierarchical items" support. At the moment, the processor has no way of knowing (reliably) that two chapter items refer to the same book. It's possible to…

Mine here is 1024x600. There are options at the bottom of some of the panels that I've only seen in the source code. It would be very nice if the panel contents could be made to scroll when the window is too small to display the full content.

This is fixed in the final refresh release of 1.0.328 (labelled "Upgrade citeproc-js to version 1.0.328 (refresh once again)" in the repo). Apologies again for the glitch. The fault reported by Rintze and fixed by release 1.0.324 was indeed a fault…
-
Sorry for this. I'm on it.
-
Yes, research data is complex. All the more reason to step carefully.
-
The difference in behavior with groups is intended by the designers. The problem is that a user may not want to expose all attachments or other content on an item to a group, and to cover that possibility it is simpler to treat group items as copies…
-
I'm afraid you will have to reconstruct the hierarchy manually in Zotero. A computer's folders and files are like cardboard boxes and scratch paper; they aren't designed to provide the sort of structured metadata that drives a reference manager. Th…
-
What you have there is essentially an index. Zotero and CSL are not designed for that, and it's not in the roadmap. If it were me, and if it were a large project, I would probably prepare the document in reStructuredText, use zotero-plain for refer…
-
That is the so-called "hash-bang" syntax that, on Unix systems, is customarily used to declare an interpreter to run the code inside the file. The Wikipedia page covers the subject (I now see) in excruciating detail. I'm not very familiar with ZSA …
-
Ah. Sorry for the line noise.
-
(edit: see Simon's note below instead) Try these steps.
-
Oops. Will fix that. (edit: That should be a little better now.)
-
This should do the colon-only-after-disambiguating-year thing, and add the year to an ambiguous title as well. I haven't tested; when testing in a word processor document, note adamsmith's advice about switching away to another style and then back a…
-
adamsmith's code should work. The most likely explanation is a error in the CSL syntax somewhere else in the style. If you paste the full code for the style to http://gist.github.com, save it as a "Public Gist", and post the URL from the address bar…

For law, lots will be needed -- too many to be practicable in a dropdown UI element. Can supply a list in a few days, with an outline of the solution I've come up with.
-
Dan or Simon will give the real response (I'm just kibitzing here); but ... this is probably not due to Zotero's own code, but rather the third-party embedded editor (tincyMCE) used for notes.
-
@katie.w: A site translator would be bundled with Zotero itself, once it has been prepared; there is no need to distribute it through other channels. Someone just needs to offer a small sum of money to encourage a developer to write the code. After …
-
I've now fixed this in the processor (version 1.0.326). When the revisions are picked up by Zotero, resetting the note numbers at each chapter boundary will no longer break back-referencing.
-
I think it should be possible to control for this, actually, since the conditions that trigger the failure are clear. I will try to take a look at it in the next week or so.
