Let's start with the page number. Chicago Author-Date includes point-locators (specified via the plugin) in in-text citations, but not page numbers from the database entry. There is literally no path through which the content of the pages field can …

I had this as well. In my case, the ownership of the hidden directory ~/.openoffice.org was root:root (you can check from a terminal with the command "ls -ld ~/.openoffice.org"). Changing the permissions of the entire directory recursively to myself…

Good news! We're now up to date on fixes to the CSL processor.
-
I have identified the fault and applied a fix in a fresh release of the processor. The new version should appear in the next release of Zotero 2.1.
-
Confirmed. I'll look into this, and should have a fix ready fairly soon.
-
@Isis, I'm curious as to why the cite was not appearing for lower court opinions for you under Zotero 2.1. Can you give an example of the text entered into the fields for a typical lower court judgement? Alternatively, you can send a Zotero RDF exp…

Can confirm that I get the jump to Abstract in FF4, on the same system that works correctly under FF 3.6. This seems definitely to be affected by the browser version.
-
As a note on this, as of December 8 last year, citeproc-js processes only the maximum number of authors set in the style's et-al parameters, plus a buffer value of 2. This has lifted performance of the processor to an acceptable level with 2,000 aut…

@ajlyon, PubGet was missing from the engines.json file used to configure the default install. I've updated the file, but it may not take effect on an existing installation. I was puzzled over how to add engines as well, but I think I've sussed out …

Genealogist aren't computer people so they aren't much help when is comes to creating "online" stuff. So, in the meantime they manually type every citation in a word processing program. Then, they manually type the bibliography, just they have since…

This would also be useful where there are many (many) attachments, such as produced by the (currently rather dusty) translator for the Japanese Law Translation site.

Under Ubuntu Linux w/Firefox 3.6.12, the TAB takes me to the Title field, in both Zotero 2.1.1 and in ML Zotero 2.1m8754. Possibly the behavior is browser-version dependent?
-
Yep. This will be fixed in the next release of Zotero 2.1. It was awhile back (in thread-time); the link is here.
-
I've checked this, and can confirm that in Zotero 2.1.1, a date entered as "Autumn 2001" in the date field of a book item with author "Smith, John" comes out as "(Smith Autumn)" in Chicago Author-Date. The multilingual version shows the same behavi…
-
So going through the list: (1) You have stopped and restarted Firefox, and can call up Zotero, and confirm via gear menu -> About Zotero that you have the 2.0 version running; (2) You have also installed the plugin for Zotero 2.0 from the 2.0 plu…

While I heartily agree that we shouldn't need to fuss about where a document comes from, there are commercial legal databases out there (Westlaw and Lexis, the so-called Wexis twins) that carry slip opinions not available from other sources. For the…

I'm not sure whether Amanda means the same thing we do by "all of the Zotero files". (If she hasn't yet reached the Zotero data folder, she can't have made a copy of the database.) But (to Amanda) don't worry, it's better to go slow and ask for adv…
-
(Note that you don't need to run Firefox or Zotero to copy the old zotero.sqlite into place -- in fact, Firefox should be completely shut down when you do that operation.)
-
Amanda, No worries, you're almost there. Take a look at this page; it explains how to find the Zotero data directory, where you will find the zotero.sqlite file described under the first link I posted above. http://www.zotero.org/support/zotero_da…
-
I've made the fix and issued a new processor release. The revised version will appear in a subsequent release of Zotero 2.1.
-
The problem with case names appearing twice was due to a processor bug. I've posted a new release, and the revised version will appear in a subsequent release of Zotero 2.1.
-
Perhaps some German users can offer links to relevant style guides.
-
The processor is not quashing the title variable when it is rendered via a cs:substitute element. This is a bug, and will be fixed soon. (Bluebook and its derivatives do need to be rewritten, though; the processing logic in there is far from transpa…
-
We've had the same report against Bluebook. I'll check into it and report back soon.
-
If you are in the final stage of preparation and you have a copy of your thesis document that has not been upgraded to 2.1.1, you should move back to the 2.0 version. There are two steps involved: downgrading the Zotero software by reinstalling the …
-
Your description seems clear, but just in case: Does the delay occur when you request an entirely new citation, or only when inserting a reference into an existing citation? (If the latter, do you keep the "Show Editor" window open on your citations…
-
Bruce, What do you say to Dan's suggestion above? The title field can contain both elements, shortTitle can be used to identify the primary title segment, and the remainder of the field can be taken as subtitle, accessible via a virtual field, alon…

Visiting the linked page with Zotero 2.1.1 and fetching the metadata with the "Create Zotero item from this page", and then manually adding an arbitrary full date to date field of "2011-03-27", I get the full date in a citation rendered with Chicago…
-
As ajlyon says, we've opted to keep the language field as a vanilla string in the current MZ implementation. It's a compromise that still leaves a path open for better UI support along the lines you describe. In fact, the field is not quite as dumb…
-
@Isis: Definitely roll back to 2.0.9. The current Bluebook style is unmaintainable, and needs to be recomposed. I have a draft replacement to hand that I've used for testing, but its coverage is not sufficient for production. I would be delighted t…
