  • That's what I would do. On a _copy_ of your document(s) before your manual edits were overwritten, try clicking the "Remove Field Codes" in the Zotero word processor plugin. That should give you a confirmation popup. Clicking OK will freeze your bib…
  • Okay, that's the source of the overwrites problem; Zotero controls the fields that contain the citations, and it will overwrite them every time it refreshes. If you edit citations through the "Show editor" widget, Zotero will remember the changes; b…
  • I don't know how track changes settings work in Word, but from forum discussions I know that it's important to turn it off (and accept all changes if it was used previously) when a Word document is connected to Zotero. The reason is that Track Chan…
  • @btrav: Second question: do you have track changes turned on in your word processor?
  • @btrav: Have you preserved a separate copy of your dissertation document?
  • I've spotted a clear bug in the processor code that is almost certainly the cause of this. I'll get out a revised processor release soon, which should become available in the next Zotero release.
  • Zingo. The cause seems to be that the rich text parser stumbles over certain combinations of mismatched quote characters. If you look for an item containing a title (or other field) beginning with "A.C.B.A., Box SCHL/S0910/5", you should find that t…
  • Terrific, thanks. Looking forward to learning what's behind this.
  • There are three problems with the syntax, which are shown below. In the first block, there is a second "name" element inside "names". There can only be one, so move the "and" attribute up to the legal "name" node and delete the extra one.In the seco…
  • Not good to hear that the error is still occurring -- apart from the fact that you're well positioned to help us track it down. :) I added some tracing code to the processor for the 2.1.6 upgrade that should help us identify the root cause of the p…
  • Paste your style as a public gist, and post the URL from the address bar back to this thread.
  • Steven R. Ratner, Jason S. Abrams, , and , James L. Bischoff, Accountability for Human Rights Atrocities: Beyond the Nuremberg Legacy (3rd ed. 2009) 11Please also let us know whether this formatting error has been fixed by the 2.1.6 upgrade.
  • This is likely caused by a bug in the way italics (and boldface) are handled in RTF output (the format that the processor ships to Zotero for use in the document). You can check whether this is the case by selecting a case item in the Zotero center …
  • Re 1/ that's certainly ugly. I'm in the midst of a complete rewrite of the names formatting code in the processor (to make it cleaner and easier for other programmers to understand -- an important form of insurance for the future of the project). Th…
  • @izahn: What you need is a mapping of your local BibTeX keys to Zotero item identifiers. That data doesn't need to be stored in Zotero, and probably shouldn't be (since the Zotero items might be used by others who apply different local keys to the s…
  • This is a bug that I thought we had fixed; the processor is not respecting the request for full-form in the bibliography when disambiguation has occurred in the citation. I'm currently in the midst of a complete rewrite of the names formatting code …
  • In current Zotero, a style does not refresh automatically when it is installed; the new version doesn't "wake up" until you switch to another style and then back.
  • Scraping the information from the page is possible, but it's cumbersome and sets up a snowball of work down the road, since a screen-scraping translator needs to be updated every time the underlying site changes. What ajlyon is looking at is gettin…
  • I figured out how to get a DC metadata page for an individual item, but you need the OAI Identifier to fetch it. I took a look at a content page, and all I could find is an "id" from the page URL. There doesn't seem to be an obvious way to get the O…
  • The Contributor author type isn't mapped through to citations. In this case, I think you would set the author of the article as Author, and the editor as Editor, and set the item type to Book Section. Does that work?
  • If the only sort key given is the date, then the cites will be sorted by date, yes. We can continue on github.
  • Yes. But there is no way in CSL 1.0 to specify that cites should be grouped by author (or any other field or macro output). The closest approximation is to sort by author first. If bare grouping is needed, the schema needs to provide a way of specif…
  • (Edited to correct a logical error) @bdarcus: The example you give would sort as: (Doe, 2005; Smith, 2000, 2010), if both primary and secondary sort keys are set for an ascending sort. In a group-and-sort algorithm, the "Doe" cite would be in the t…
  • No unpleasant ones, anyway. :)
  • Viz:If you think you've found a bug, check the Actions [gear] menu in the Zotero toolbar, before restarting Firefox, for the status of the “Report Errors…” menu option. If a potential Zotero error has occurred, “Report Errors…” will appear in black;…
  • Re 1, CSL 1.0 doesn't support this. The Zotero 2.1 plugin interface provides up/down arrows to adjust the order of items; you'll need to use that to get the order you want. When cites by the same author are adjacent (as for Walter, in your example),…
  • @kseaborn: I'm curious about the sort issues. Do you know which style or styles are messing up? Also, does zotpress rely on the server to perform the sort, or does it run citeproc-js locally?
  • Yep, that would cause an error. I overlooked the fact that "and" can cascade from the style element. I'm in the middle of a complete rewrite of the names formatting code in the processor, which will take a couple of weeks to reach fruition, so this …
  • This may be a little closer. Same address: https://gist.github.com/913322 I've restored the comma on the group delimiter, and dropped it instead from the data block. While it makes the style a little more difficult to interpret, putting punctuation …
  • Not sure whether this will break punctuation elsewhere, but it might work: https://gist.github.com/913322 (Click on the "raw" link in the page, save to a file, and then drag into Firefox to install. I've changed the ID, so your existing copy of th…
