Things have settled down on processor issues, and I think I may be able to help with sorting this problem out. With a little fiddling about with grep and sed, I've come up with a list of 89 styles that seem likely to be caught out by the strictness…

Very good. I was worried about the processor, but there have been no reported problems; I'm just a bit jittery, it seems. Try disabling your other Firefox extensions, and see if that helps. Strange behavior like this can be caused by a conflict wit…

I think I understand your issue, and will take a look. Does this describe the way the data is entered? First author lastName: [empty] firstName: Banksy Second author lastName: Smith firstName: John [...] (Edit: If you have the first-list…

@tiediy You are welcome to modify the citeproc-js processor, but note the licensing conditions, printed at the top of every source file. (I don't know about the processor in Zotero 2.0.9; someone from the Zotero lab can provide the details.) For ci…
-
@tiediy That would be handled correctly in Zotero 2.1. Unfortunately, the citation processor in Zotero 2.1 cannot be adapted for use with version 2.0; the internal differences between the two programs are too many and too great.

I fear that algorithms won't be much use; but some UI sugar to make it quick and simple to push characters between the fields might save a bit of finger-work and frustration. This is the second major Asian site that we've seen with significant prob…

multilingual version is useless to this problem.That's a rather odd thing to say. Multilingual Zotero was designed precisely for sites of this kind. If you mean that the multilingual version doesn't work out of the box for this site, well, yes. Som…

This is likely due to a processor bug, which I have just fixed and pushed to a new release (1.0.143). The bug will occur in the current version when uncited items are manually added to the bibliography. If you have added items in this way, and you a…

I've been tied down today with work on the multilingual Zotero version (where I made a stupid mistake in the code a few weeks ago, which came back to bite yesterday). But I think I know what's breaking the sort for these characters. If you don't he…

Do you have any other Firefox extensions installed?
-
Hard to say; there isn't a fixed timetable. Middle of next week, end of next week. But that's just a blind guess. If your deadline is less than a couple of weeks away, you may want to do the changes by hand, so you have firm control over the time re…

No. This is absolutely a problem with the style code. I lay out the CSL and the logic dictated by the specification above. Jump to the post.
-
That's useful to know. I'd guess that this is the same error, since the processor in 2.1.3 is also affected by the bug. If I'm reading this one correctly, the problem should clear up for you when 2.1.4 comes out.

(CheungW. M., P. C. & J. X., , and , P. G.)This output doesn't look right, for sure. The mix of "&" and "and" suggests that one or more of the author entries are set in single-field mode, which should be used only for institutions. The empt…

With that input, I get the following from APA 6th, so it's not a simple issue to reproduce: Pace, R. C. (1984). The credibility of student self-reports. Los Angeles. Los Angeles, CA: Higher Education Research Institute, University of California, Lo…
-
Let's wait and see how it goes. I'm pretty sure that the error will go away with the next release. When the next processor release is picked up by Zotero, you'll be able to check out the behavior by installing the branch XPI, and then reinstalling w…
-
Thanks for this report. I've adjusted the processor to avoid touching all-caps strings, and the behavior will be corrected in the next release of Zotero (2.1.4). The code that does the lowercasing is in there to allow a given name with multi-charac…
-
I've fixed a bug in the processor that might be relevant to this, in response to a report ("sep is undefined") in another thread. If that is in the error message that you are receiving, it might be the cause here as well. In any case, the steps you …
-
Thanks for this report. The error message was enough to identify a clear bug in the processor, which would be triggered by rendering some fields containing quote marks or in-field markup. I don't know exactly what content would trigger an error, an…
-
If you install Zotero 2.1, you should find that this particular problem with that style goes away.
-
This is definitely a style issue. The same code block has been borrowed across a number of styles, so you see the same behavior in many styles. It's a simple thing to fix, and tomorrow I'll post a revised Harvard 1 to illustrate how this can be fixe…
-
Fixed, in a processor version that will make its way into the next Zotero 2.1 release. I haven't done anything special for prepositions following a period; I think that can most safely be left to the (newly added) generic mechanism for leaving words…
-
That's not good. If letters are capitalized in the input, they shouldn't be touched. I'll have a look. Thanks for reporting this.
-
It's apparently possible to add extensions to xulrunner applications (xulrunner is the software engine that runs the standalone code -- basically Firefox without the browser). I don't know anything further about it. It looks like it takes some low-l…
-
Yep. You may need to adjust the formatting a bit to get the exact effect you need. The code above (just replaced with the code straight from the test fixture, which I've just finished) produces this citation string: (John Doe n.d.-a [Accessed: June …
-
Actually, it should be possible to get exactly the effect you're after by adding the year-suffix element explicitly. It's just an ordinary variable in CSL 1.0, so it can be rendered anywhere. This doesn't require any modification to CSL; the specifi…
-
Yep, that's certainly what's happening. It's not particularly useful, so we'll look into ways of implementing year-suffix discrimination on undated entries. By design, if the year-suffix renders earlier on the citation, it won't be rendered on the a…
-
Thanks for this tip, that's very useful to know.

Use the "Suppress author" tick-box in the word processor popup, and type in the author by hand. There are proposals to do this automatically, but no time-line for implementation just yet.
