If you haven't encountered automatic disambiguation before, that is likely what you are seeing: http://www.zotero.org/support/kb/given_name_disambiguation

Learn something every day. :) What adamsmith says.

Ah, my bad, this wasn't completely implemented. I'll put up a processor revision very shortly (ver 1.0.319). When that works its way into the Zotero development source (probably within a day or two), this will start working in the 3.0 branch XPI. Yo…

Add this just below the info section of your style (if there is no locale section there yet -- otherwise just add the term to the existing in-style locale): - This is not yet part of the official CSL specification, so it won't validate, bu…

Things would be much nicer if the citation manager would generate the entire string "Doe et al. (1999)" when selecting the "Suppress Author" box, and only make "(1999)" represent the field.I think I understand what you mean, but that would require t…
-
The bibliography should be entered at the end or at the beginning of the document. Don't try to enter it at the position of a reference in the text; it will list every resource cited in the document, which is certainly not what you want. As adamsmi…

Are you okay now, or is there still confusion?

It allows arbitrary field variants (translations, transliterations and sort strings) to be stored in a standards-conformant way for things like title, author name, publisher and place of publication. The variants can then be weaved into citations us…

@roypeled, If you're comfortable running unsupported software (which is basically a matter of being patient of errors if they occur, being rigorous about keeping backups handy, and knowing how your backup system works) you could give MLZ and the Wi…

I don't think there is a convenient UI for that at present. What parameters do you need?
-
For legal periodicals, Cardiff University offers a useful online index that combines (possibly overlapping) abbreviations for many publications and jurisdictions. They don't provide a mass download link, but there is clearly a common interest, and w…

It looks like the PubMed people are on our side. Here's the copyright notice on the NCBI site, and here is an FTP download link for their lists (PubMed Journals and NCBI Molecular Biology Database Journals). The lists contain two abbreviation versio…

if I am editing the writing, I cannot just go and edit inside the parentheses, but now need to open the Zotero dialogue in each case, pushing things back and forth between prefixes and suffixes.In Zotero 3.0, you can edit the affixes directly in the…

The key system developed by Andrea Rossato for citeproc-hs and pandoc is very well thought-out. Adopting it in Zotero RTF scan would be a nice design short-cut, and good for portability as well. It will need to be recast in Javascript -- as far as I…
-
If deadlines loom, be sure that you have all your data backed up, first and foremost. With that very serious and important caveat, you can use the new processor immediately via MLZ. Given your short time-frame, it would be exceptionally important t…

Thanks really great to hear, thanks for reporting back. As the plugin is starting to look useful, I'll start a fresh thread as a magnet for feedback and suggestions.
-
This prompted a careful examination of the disambiguation module, with rewrites to some portions of the code. I was able to pick up an unrelated bug or two -- one of them was masked by incorrect result strings that I had recorded in the test suite, …
-
So, depending on the style, two or three of them can't be differentiated. Is there any way of fixing this?Not at your end. I can reproduce your results here in my dev version of Zotero, and the processor is clearly just getting it wrong. Apart from …
-
Things should be fixed now. If you update or reinstall, you should get an OK button in the plugin abbrevs sub-popup, the plugin shouldn't close when you hit Enter in an open abbrevs field (the field will just close instead), and an import of exporte…
-
Okay. Nothing to show yet, but I'll start looking at issues with the plugin today. The use and abuse of abbreviations in the MLZ styles has shifted a little during iterations of style development and processor revision in the past month or two, and …
-
Today the world flew past me almost unnoticed: I just finished a round of work on the law/multilingual style suite that involved some arcane adjustments inside the citation processor. Tomorrow is a good prospect though.
-
Ah, oops, missed that, sorry.
-
Unzipping and rezipping the zotero.jar file is possible with the right method of rezipping, but that extra work is not necessary. Gracile provided a link to instructions for running Zotero from unzipped source files. If you plan to confirm translati…

Inside the style, you will find a line at around line 67. Two lines below that there is a line . Remove the initialize-with bit and the value that follows it. Then change the ID and style name, following the instructions here.
-
Sorry about the error; I'm still not able to reproduce it here, but I see where that fault would be triggered (it's the same error you had before, but in a different guise). I've put up a fresh release that will avoid it. If you update MLZ, it shoul…
-
Great, thanks. Not sure what triggered it, but there was an obvious potential bug affecting number, which is now squashed. Another small glitch in MLZ blocked import of the item you posted (oops), and that's also now fixed. The revised MLZ client is…
-
Great stuff (it's actually useful when things break, so that's not entirely meant in jest). It looks like something about the patent number may be triggering this. Can you export the item and save it as Zotero RDF, then paste it to http://gist.githu…
-
Looks like a secondary resource. Do you have the jurisdiction field set? In the Extra field, you should have something like "{:jurisdiction:us}".

Have you validated your modified version of the style?
