Announcing the Zotero 3.0 Beta Release ... including automatic duplicate detection and resolution ...Next question?
-
Yes. I guess you would need some sort of list of alternative forms for individual authors. It could get very complicated (and unusable) very quickly.
-
There is no setting for this in CSL. The simplest solution would be to enter the portions that should be rendered as initials as initials in the database.
-
@Oby, adamsmith, Like the other legal styles, OSCOLA can be implemented more fully and more cleanly using the MLZ extended schema hosted at CitationStylist.org. I have placed a copy of the style on the site, and opened a separate repo for styles th…
-
It will not change the way you work with Zotero (apart from the addition of the tick-box for embedding/not-embedding metadata). The main thing you will notice is that, when you open a Zotero document from another system on your own computer, Zotero …
-
A working solution can be provided by a completely separate Firefox plugin that slightly extends the Zotero document preferences popup (with a tab or button that calls up a list management interface), and provides a little glue code that interacts w…
-
The Abbreviations Gadget that went up on the CitationStylist site a short while ago should permit short forms for institutional names. As the release announcement says, the plugin only works with Multilingual Zotero (MLZ) at present. This particular…
-
On point 4, duplicates management has been implemented in Zotero 3.0 (beta). On point 3, a solution will be available within the next few weeks.
-
Just in case, have you tried clicking in the document at the position where you would like the bibliography, and clicking on the "Insert bibliography" icon?
-
I have adopted Dan's suggestion about sniffing for likely-looking descriptor strings on single-number input. I've thrown quite a few tests at the code, and I'm pretty sure that (a) it won't cause headaches for people with legacy data, while (b) enco…
-
@caitifty: Thanks for reporting this. It's caused by a small bug in the CSL processor that I fixed (for other reasons) yesterday. I'll put up a fresh processor release soon, and you should see the problem go away in a future version of Zotero.
-
No, those are copies of your database created automatically each time Zotero is upgraded. The puzzle, if I understand your description correctly, is why the citations that you have re-linked are not behaving live Zotero citations. That should be so…
-
I have been unable to reproduce this. Just in case: what version of Zotero are you using?
-
I've implemented some experimental changes to explore this, and bundled the modified processor in the multilingual client. The changes are described here. The code is currently more aggressive about dismissing lone descriptors than Dan's suggested …
-
@me23rose: you should be getting the same form of the name for both the first and the subsequent references. One thought: is it possible that the first reference is linked to a separate copy of the item with the same content, but only the last name…
-
Just three further questions, and then I should let someone who knows the plugins better than I do take over. (1) What version of Zotero do you have installed? (2) What version of the word processor plugin do you have installed? (2) What version of…

Data lost: I upgraded Firefox from v. 3 to v. 4 something, then I found two Firefoxes installed in my PC (control panel---programs and features), and then I uninstalled the older one. After that, when I launched the new Firefox, I found that it was …
-
smoother, A few questions ... First (just to be careful) be sure to keep an old copy of your document from before the upgrade. It may come in handy. Second, what did you do to update Firefox and Zotero? The Zotero data will not normally be lost i…

Thanks Sebastian! Sorry for the delay. Todd Rundgren has a song that fits the occasion rather well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msVwa7yIgmM
-
I've checked in a processor version that recognizes quoted escapes, but I take the points made above. There is one off-spec wrinkle in the current processor behavior that I have discussed with Rintze previously, in that it recognizes multiple numer…
-
Lois, Thanks for reporting. I've put up a fresh build, updating should fix it now.
-
Thanks for reporting; I'll look into this.
-
Aha. Thanks for the info, sorry for the extra traffic.
-
@hiemm, Yes, but it depends on an unoffical extension to the CSL language. Further information is available here. (Edit: you may find it quickest to jump here.)
-
Aha! Both methods work here. Thanks very much, that's all I needed.
-
Under Preferences -> Cite -> Word Processors (tab), there is a tick-box to always use the Classic View.
-
@adamsmith: It's still on the drawing board. Maybe a month or two away. @bdarcus: Creators should all be objects, but kreuschan's current solution relies of coding the author field as a static, style-specific string as well: In the example above, "…
-
The problem wih a "person-short" field would be that the abbreviated form may vary across styles. The citeproc-js processor will recognize short-form institutional names, but they need to be supplied externally, as an abbreviations list. Work is in…
-
Bingo. Simon just applied a superior patch to the trunk (plus a small carryover from the one I submitted). It all seems to be working very well; this issue should be resolved when the patch makes it into a release. Thanks, Simon!
-
For what it's worth, I think I've come up with a fix for this. I've filed a patch with the ticket, we'll see whether it passes review. (Edit: for reference, the ticket is here.)
