Out of curiousity, why do you want to use the earlier version of Z?
-
As another string to the bow, the Juris-M variant of Zotero is able to bind a document to a shared library: https://our.law.nagoya-u.ac.jp/alumni/thesis-supervision-with-juris-m/ The feature was introduced to support supervision of student writing…

That was a shot in the dark -- I hadn't used Tropy, only read of it. Good to know it's in the ballpark. There should be an export/import path to Zotero -- they're built by the same lab, and there is some staffing overlap.
-
Is https://tropy.org relevant to such a workflow?
-
Ah, I get it. The problem isn't so much with the cache of reference data, but with helpful cruft it's encrusted with inside the editor. Shades of the stereo consoles of old.
-
Never have worked with a tool that works like that. It sounds like half of an implementation -- Zotero embedded references, but with DB updates disabled. Side note: We actually kind of use Zotero/JM docs in that way here---Juris-M has a nice little…

(I meant that different is bad! sounds reasonable enough. :) Sounds like we'll have another island in the sea of knowledge. Better than naught, I guess.

It triggered for me in a library today, and when I enabled the debugging log and reran sync, the fresh attempt similarly completed without error. It's a shy one.
-
Sorry about that!
-
Weird, but good. :-)
-
If you have a small document that shows the error, send it (pre- and post-error if possible) to support@zoteto.org. I think the developers will be curious to see what's in there.
-
Sounds reasonable to me.
-
Go team.
-
@teresafr I spoke with the colleague who hit this, and he said that the affected references had been merged. Is that the case here—did you possibly have all-caps and title-case versions of these references in your library that you merged together? I…
-
Glad to hear that you're back in motion. I am totally stumped as to the underlying cause. I'm almost afraid to ask, but ... switching back to US English breaks it again?
-
@gagarine Yes, and most of their active users on their forum seem "happy to handle that manually" I posted what I thought was a civil note to the thread you link above, only to be met also with ridicule by one of the local denizens. A few L&L us…
-
I saw this yesterday in an account with read-only access to a research library. The library is updated at long intervals, so we just disabled sync for the (fully synced) group to avoid the error. But I was also puzzled as to the cause.
-
@dstillman I've done some further checking and come up dry. Nothing resembling "us english" is anywhere in the sources. The one explanation I can think of - that on @Gigi%20Lo 's system the string "US English" has somehow gotten into the preferences…
-
@dstillman The only place where "invalid language tag" turns up in the sources is the Firefox binary. The error in citeproc-js appears to be thrown by an attempt to run localeCompare with "us english" as the locale. The variable that brings that in …
-
@Gigi%20Lo What is your operating system, and what language do you have set in Preferences -> Export?
-
@Gigi%20Lo What is the version of your Zotero ("About Zotero")? If it is not v5.0.45, reinstall with the latest version.) Also, check in Tools -> Add-ons to see if a "Propachi" plugin is installed. If it is, disable it and restart Zotero.
-
Custom style?
-
We had a local report of this, but I'm not able to reproduce it with Linux/LibreOffice. What is your platform and word processor?
-
Tinkers to Evers to Chance.
-
@emilianoheyns @gagarine Sorry about the delay - my release chain for plugins was broken, but it turned out to be a simple issue at my end. The plugin release with the fix by Emiliano (at v2.0.37) is now available.
-
That's really a shame. And that's definitely where the focus belongs.
-
It's been a long time since I last looked at name particle handling, but doesn't enclosure in quotes cover that case?
-
Know that feeling - good to hear all is back on track.
-
Well done. If you have further problems, do post back. In the error message you quote above, the text would have been this: this.registry.citationreg.citationByld[c[0]] is undefined That is, lowercase this, and 0 rather than 9. It's best to use …

What is your operating system, and what scripting utilities are you comfortable with?
