It may be turned off by default because it has storage implications for sync accounts.

There is no option in CSL that will do this. The best approach will be to include the period on the names in the database, which will produce the result you're after in this case. The same approach is taken with terms (like "et al." or "Mar.") in …

PDF attachments from JSTOR also confirmed to work in 2.1a1 r6105, on the same system.

Downloaded PDF attachments from JSTOR confirmed to work okay in my currently installed Zotero trunk (2.1a1 r6098), with Preferences -> General "Automatically download PDFs and other associated files when saving items" ticked. Firefox 3.6.4, Atom…

Exclusive reliance on a voting forum as the sole user input/feedback mechanism would be inappropriate for Zotero. There is a lot of fruitful discussion of use cases on the forums, ranging from the universal to the obscure, and we wouldn't want to l…

Got it. Sorry for the misdirection.
-
Fix and pushed to the repository. You can install with this link.

Tilde failure has come up before recently: http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/12866/some-european-characters-are-not-imported-correctly/#Item_6 A fix is beyond my ken; maybe someone who uses BibTeX can take a look.
-
Success under Linux.

Looks like a small speed bump. The trunk xpi install doesn't work with OO either; when inserting a citation, Zotero complains that the selected style is not defined. Running the same version straight from SVN does work, though.

Apropos comments by bdarcus and adamsmith above, see this user comment on the EndNote forums. Extraneous periods, apparently still waiting for a fix two years on. Then there's this query on variations in title capitalization between item types. N…

JonEP, thank you for your words of encouragement. I should maybe point out that I'm not involved in the wysiwyg editor project personally, mainly because I also have too many other things that I need to do. :) But the project link is here, if you…

@totalbaluba, I’ve just discovered Zotero a few days ago ...[T]o my surprise ... editing citation styles ... is complicated and time consuming!I'm very sorry to hear that. Give it a few more days, things might look better when the CSL language come…

Apparently not, unfortunately. Same result with the patched translator.
-
In the CSL code for your cites, you would use two separate names declarations. One would have the name-as-sort-order set to "all" (or "first"), and limit the number of names to one, and the other would have no name-as-sort-order attribute set, so t…

Yes, there are lots of ways that institutional authors could be flagged. This is the way it's handled in the Zotero UI, and until someone comes up with another method that is far enough superior to justify retraining the entire community to use it,…
-
Use the little square-boxes icon to the right of the name to toggle it to "family name - given name" order, which is correct for people. In the "first last" ordering, a personal name will not be formatted correctly in citations -- use that for orga…
-
Try some output. The detection flags aways shows "y m d" in that sequence, but the parse is picking up the elements correctly.
-
Before applying the patch, I get the "Before" behavior described by Olivier: only the first of the accented characters is transformed. noksagt's version of the patch wouldn't apply on my system (patch reports it as corrupted, maybe something to do …

[I agree with ajlyon. With a hat-tip to Randy Newman, and no disrespect to Utah, what we have at the moment is a Beehive State where "nobody seems to know".]
-
Feel free to post your work-in-progress to the gist.github.com site, as adamsmith suggests. People will be happy to take a look and give you pointers to help get you started.

It will be much more efficient, overall, if you can handle the changes yourself (we're all volunteers here, so efficiency is very attractive). Have you read this page? Do you have any questions about how to proceed?
-
I don't see a style of that name in the repository. Probably the first thing, though, is to be sure you've validated the style, to make sure there are no syntax errors. See this link for some pointers on validation.
-
I didn't realize that current Zotero had been configured to do this. The new CSL processor will do this also, so this is in a sense an early shakedown for it. (per fbennett) the n.d. currently isn't actually a Zotero feature but a style feature. (pe…
-
I'm not one of the developers, but speaking as an ordinary joe, citing with author "Center for History and New Media, George Mason University" seems about right.
-
Okay, we'll try some rough surgery first. Go here: http://gist.github.com/411693 then download the style, using the "Raw" link on the top right. Install by dragging the downloaded file into an open Firefox Window. This will eliminate the "n.d." b…
-
Another question: which item type are you using for this category of material?
-
This is the right intuition; that option (with a slightly different syntax) will trigger the behavior that you're after in CSL 1.0. The reason it's not working for you yet is that Zotero is currently at CSL 0.8.1, which doesn't have this feature. …
