Jeanne, As far as I know, this is not currently possible. The new citation processor being prepped for Zotero has the ability to print only the author, without the remainder of the citation, but it's an experimental feature, and it remains to be s…
-
The unix tools from GNU are handy. In a repository checkout, I did this to find files that use citation-number, and also sort by author (guessing that the latter would not occur in the citation): $ cd all-styles/csl $ grep -l citation-number * | xa…

One or more of these might be in the ballpark: american-physiological-society.csl annual-reviews-alphabetically.csl asm-journals.csl immunity.csl journal-neurosurgery.csl molecular-biochemical-parasitology.csl
-
You should be able to produce a style that does what you want in 15 minutes or so, if the citation processor behaves itself. What style are you using as a base?
-
On the relevant "name" nodes in the CSL file, you should find that each has an attribute sort-separator=", ". You should be able to get the effect you're after by changing them to sort-separator=" ".
-
If we're looking at the style harvard7de.csl, the line you modified is in the macro with name="pages". That macro is called only in the bibliography (search in the style file for "pages", with the quotes, and you will find that string in only two p…

The CSL processor being prepped for citation formatting in the next version has the ability to exclude items from the bibliography based on their content. If that functionality is made accessible through option settings of some sort, it can be used…

Glad it worked for you!

@limpato, The solution linked by clio_13 and the one just built by ajlyon in response to your post work in the same way, and both of them do exactly what you want, but you have to follow the cookbook. Open the Zotero gear menu, then go Preferences…

Agree that this is an important item. I had a similar idea with the approach I suggested under the zotero-dev post that I linked above: the risk of acquiring duplicates is greatest when items enter Zotero through a translator; translators are limit…
-
Ah, I get it, it's the key that the item will have when exported in BibTeX format. Bennett once again comes forward with a solution in search of a problem. :)
-
The new CSL processor will support arbitrary output formats, and should work for this. You would use the existing HTML style format definition as a template, and edit it to apply the desired LaTeX macros, referring to the CSL 1.0 specification for …
-
On point (2), the new processor will have the ability to do this, using rich text markup.
-
Google Scholar provides bibliographic data in BibTeX format, and that's what the Zotero translator relies on. Last time I looked, GS was delivering empty BibTeX items (no details at all) against legal materials. That's probably what's breaking thi…
-
This may give rise to some discussion, but the new processor handles institutional authors as ordinary "author", identifying them as literal names (one-field entry in Zotero) as opposed to structured names (two-field entry in Zotero). The literal f…
-
I'm happy to confirm what adamsmith says, that this will indeed be controlled by the style file in the new processor.
-
Yes, it looks like the translator for that site doesn't support search results. It could be extended, for sure. Your best bet is either a programmer close to you, or the North Carolina Central University themselves; their IT department may have an…
-
Try putting quotes around the content of the Edition field, and writing in the label (edn.) as well. So: Edition: "2nd rev. edn." It's not ideal, since you may need to fix up the entry when changing styles, but it should cover you for the time …
-
Date ranges are supported in CSL 1.0, which will be deployed in Zotero later this year.

The LexisNexis Academic translator is meant to work only with newspapers, although it gives an icon for law cases as well. For newspapers, there is one missing character in the translator code that throws a syntax error and results in the failure t…
-
We're finding that it's not reporting JS errors in the translator code, which will be a little daunting when writing a translator from scratch. Hasn't been resolved yet, but we're looking at it. If anyone with js skills wants to take a look, by al…

The citeproc-js processor will encode all quotation marks and apostrophes in output as open- and close-quote characters expressed as ascii-escaped numeric unicode entities, so when it debuts in Zotero, that will solve that end of the encoding issue.…
-
Haven't, but I haven't pressed them. I reckon they have their hands full with the task of marshaling priorities for the next phase of development, and I'm sure this is in the mix, as it's a long-standing issue. For a short-term solution, you might…
-
Abbreviations vary depending on the journal or faculty to which the manuscript is being submitted. It would be better in the long run to have a solution that separates the abbreviations from the Zotero items themselves.
-
There must be another copy of the reference lurking somewhere in your database. Is the book also in your Zotero trash folder? (If so, emptying trash should delete the other copy and break references to it in the document. You can then replace the…

The Google announcement doesn't say anything about extensibility or a plugin API. Looks like nothing's changed there.

I just posted a few further fixes that tidy up the layout a little. When Rintze wakes up in a couple of hours he can take a bow to our applause; my own contribution to this has been pretty small.
-
With a few small fixes, Rintze's Scaffold update for Zotero 2.0 now seems to be functioning. It has some rough edges in the display (due to some rearrangement of the XUL thrown in by yours truly without reading the XUL docs), but it seems to work p…

Great! Glad to hear it's working for you.
