@thestudentspirit: Don't post the same thing repeatedly in different threads, it wastes other people's time.

@Dirius, I'm able to produce something like this fault by disabling the Java plugin in Firefox. The word processor plugin needs both a properly installed java (a program in its own right installed at /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java) and the F…

Stephan (sdspieg) et al. The XPI installer for an upgrade to the multilingual version is now available. The new version (like the old one) should be treated with care and caution, but it does include an upgrade step to convert the SQL data from th…

I tried this with the multilingual branch running in Firefox under Linux -- and it works. Was able to use Google Chrome (version 8.0.552.224) to capture multilingual RDF from CiNii, into the collection currently selected in the Firefox Zotero. Rem…

Hi, Debbie! Welcome to the circus. I've been thinking about what I could possibly say by way of welcome that goes beyond the first line of this post ... a greeting that carries with it the happy prospect of additional work burdens and longer hours…

@anupambasu, As adamsmith notes, Zotero/CSL will support either in-text references (your first example), or footnote/endnote references (your second example), but not both together in the same document. The reference format is a property of the st…

How great is the divergence from the endnote MLA style, and if it's in the ballpark, what are the specific differences? If the footnoted style is very different, you'll need to either build the style yourself, or find someone who knows (or can lear…

Stephan, et al. I've put in some work moving the multilingual branch code to the new data model, and things seem to be working out pretty well with it. Having been through the code one more time, I think the prospects of transparently converting d…

In Zotero 2.1, the punctuation will be ignored. There has been discussion of adding an option to compare on initials only for disambiguation (to reduce the number of gotchas over this), but that hasn't been implemented yet; the character parts of t…
-
Is this with Zotero 2.0 or Zotero 2.1? (One of the reasons for asking is that Zotero 2.0 will disambiguate all names in references used in the document, even when they are masked by et al.)
-
Shouldn't this be a FAQ entry?The main hurdle to making it so may be that the leading product (Dragon Naturally Speaking) is proprietary software to which relatively few people have access.
-
There have been some reports in the past of trouble with accessing the tinyMCE fields (currently used for notes) via Dragon Naturally Speaking. While it's admittedly not terribly responsive to your question, feedback on how that works in the curren…

The two issues you mention should be resolvable in Zotero 2.1 / CSL 1.0, when you shift to it or it comes out of beta. For the ed. / eds issue, you can modify the default localized term, by adding a locale node above the macros section of the style…

After logging on at zotero.org, click on the Settings link in the upper right corner of the page, then on the Storage tab. A graphic of your account usage should be shown down at the bottom. Not sure what happens when you hit the ceiling of an acc…

Can confirm that citeproc-js only prevents subsequent rendering of variables that are rendered through a cs:substitute node. I started with more aggressive behavior (allowing all variables to render only once), then dialed back to suppressing only …

Just stabbing in the dark, but you have emptied the trash? Not sure if that's relevant to this, but just in case. (Oops, I see there are references to that in the thread, so no need to mention.)
-
If you follow the steps described by benbyerly above, orphaned creators should be purged okay for you. That's a much safer way to go than tampering with the database directly. Individual database rows are inter-connected with other rows in other t…
-
In what way is the style broken -- does it fail to work altogether (which shouldn't happen, if this is the only change), or does the formatting break in some way? If the latter, can you describe what goes wrong? (A little trick when posting code t…
-
Re (1), it looks like what's probably happening is that the author macro is substituting the editor variable edited books (since there is presumably no author for an edited volume). You should be able to get the effect you're after by giving the sa…
-
@Rintze: It's the other way around, actually ... @Takuan: Before we put the style into the test rig, one thought ... will the URL print for you in Zotero? I seem to remember that there is an option in Zotero that will suppress journal URLs under c…
-
@HealyBird, Best start a fresh thread for your issue, it doesn't seem connected to the topic of this one (use the red "Start a new discussion" button to the upper left on this page).

If you can post the full style as a public gist, we'll take a look: https://gist.github.com/

I'm starting to work on the revisions to multilingual data storage. The surgery involved is fairly drastic, and transparent migration of data to the new format via Zotero upgrade probably won't be supported. RDF export and re-import will (definite…
-
Multiple versions of personal names is not yet supported, but I plan to add it. One of the hard science publishers (I forget which) has (sensibly) adopted a policy of allowing transliterated author names to be supplemented with the full name in the…
-
@rickus: Very glad you like it -- encouragement from multilingual users like yourself is very helpful in moving things forward. Just a blind guess, but assuming all goes well, a merge of multilingual support is maybe a year out. At the moment the …
-
The multilingual version will definitely move to a cleaner data model for input. It will take awhile to get the processor and the several relevant layers of Zotero adapted to it, but it's coming. I'll certainly float proposals on the CSL list and …
-
I'm sorry, I pointed you at the wrong document! You should look at the CSL 1.0 specification.
-
Then for it to show up correctly in my document (both in text and reference list) in the author field I need to put {van Vreeswik} ?That is only for BibTeX. In Zotero fields, just write it into the field in plain form, without the squiggly braces. …

In case it helps, I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 with OpenOffice successfully here, with these versions and settings: Zotero 2.1b2 Zotero OpenOffice.org Integration 3.1a2 Link to java in /etc/alternatives is reported as: bennett@bennett-NB100-H:/etc/alt…

Just a note about the current beta. In CSL 1.0, you can control the number of names at any level, including cs:key nodes. Here, you could set a single author name as primary key, with the year as secondary key, and finished up by year-suffix disam…
