If a name with a leading particle should always be treated as a unit (sorted on the particle, and never dropping the particle, ever, regardless of the bibliography in which it is included), you can enclose the name in quotes in Zotero. But use that …
-
The method of entering the cites (all in one multiple citation via Zotero vs multiple individual citations in a manually created footnote) does seem to make a difference. It shouldn't do, so this was a bug. I've applied a fix and made a fresh proces…

The only thing in the works at present is the Columbia/Mendeley project to produce a style editor. No code has been released yet, but it's a funded project (from the Sloane Foundation), and they've set the end of April as the target for an initial b…

I just checked American Political Science Association and it seems to be sorting by author but then neither by date or title.Have you reinstalled the style recently? It looks like Sebastian added a date sort to the bibliography (immediately followin…
-
It looks like APSA is sorting by author, then year, then title. Is the problem with sorts within a year? For ASA, the style is sorting by author, then by title. It would be good to have the specific requirement given by the guide, so that we know w…

A quick trawl of the Web for a description of ASA returned this:List all references in alphabetical order by first authors’ last namesCheck the manuals; I think you'll find that the Zotero styles are correct. If you want to modify the styles to sort…

Frank seems less worried about this, but to me it seems like a primary source toggle is both a huge amount of work to implement at all levels and in many ways a bit of a hack, so I'm not very happy with that option.I was writing at cross purposes, i…

What do you mean by "template"?
-
Haven't see this in ages. When it has occurred in the past, users were able to clear it by following the Steps for Debugging Broken Documents.
-
The headline issue has been languishing, sorry. The likely cause is a failure of the parser to identify that there is output coming up when the input is a string rather than a successfully parsed date. I'll take a look and post back when I've tested…

Personally, I would favor a policy of using terms in kanji where they are available and convey the meaning. As you say, Zotero is aimed at an academic audience, and literary or mildly archaic expression is comfortable there. Kanji is also more effic…

Thanks for this feedback. I'll try to respond in greater detail later in the day, but for now, a quick response. The international interfaces are a community effort, with contributions from many quarters. We can be grateful for past contributions th…

Nope, not at all. Just busy here. I'll try to get to this later today.

Splitting the project into separate documents for each chapter would produce that result.
-
The first thing to note with MLZ is that it is not an official Zotero release, and not supported by the core developers. The team are sympathetic to the project: it's just a matter of priorities, limited resources and time allocation. There haven't…
-
The style gives two different base forms for the citation, depending on whether multiple works by the same author are cited. We don't support that currently. If such an option were introduced into CSL, it would be pretty tricky to handle, and you wo…

CiNii is a little inconsistent, but mostly the order is "Lastname Firstname" (where, for a bit of extra fun, Lastname might be something like "van Halen"). These can be handled automatically, pretty much. The good thing about CiNii is that they prov…
-
Legal styles also require this -- and apply different forms of the source nickname depending on the style. In styles for the multilingual experiment (MLZ), I ended up adding a "classic" item type to handle this, using the Abbreviations Plugin to pro…

The fix will probably go in fairly soon. If no one picks it up in the next week or so, I'll take a look.
-
There is an annoying convention in Japanese metadata management to split names with a space regardless of the order of the elements, and Amazon Japan appears to have adopted this lazy practice. It "works" only because the names "look right" when the…
-
Well, that's not good. I'll take a look later today.

As Dan wrote a few posts up, VBA is no longer relevant. I haven't used LyX, but this is easier to implement in a batch-processing environment tied to a fixed citation style than in a word processor. It's certainly not impossible in Word, but it's a …
-
@alobo: Gracile is right, the plugin works normally with Zotero 3.0; we were being deceived by a "feature" that I have now removed from the processor (at version 1.0.298, which will find its way into Zotero in due course). The output transformation…
-
As for the plugin, yes, it does need an OK button. The popup also should not close when Enter is pressed in a field. Data can be imported if it is refactored as an appropriate JSON structure, which shouldn't be terribly difficult. I'm able to repr…
-
Is the code online? It sounds like something that could be implemented as a plugin, and it would probably reach a wider audience that way. If the code is available, someone might be induced to plugify the changes, even if you don't want to go that f…
-
D'oh.

Follow the link; it gives step-by-step instructions on fixing broken documents. Zotero won't behave like this when it is functioning normally. If weird things are happening in your document or on your system, it's best to get to the bottom of the pr…

Start with these steps.
-
(Edit: this was erroneous advice based on a misreading of the problem. Please see adamsmith's next response below.) There is an "Edit Citation" button in the classic plugin popup. If it was open, you would notice. I've run out of ideas, but we're …
-
(Edit: here I'm still seeing trouble where there is none.) Two more questions then (they seem to come in pairs): (1) Does that reference appear with an extended author list in a fresh document; and (2) When you open the reference for editing in t…
