I see this too, on an eeePC netbook running Ubuntu 8-something.
-
Yep. Both CSL 1.0 and a new processor for Zotero are on the verge of final release. The Zotero team are busy with other important tasks at the moment, but a few months seems a likely horizon for the first development versions with CSL 1.0 integrat…

The groups page was down for a bit a few minutes ago. The same outage may have affected sync.
-
Yep, Zotero parses the date and discards the rest. That's needed in order do things like printing only the year when a complete date is entered into the field.
-
@mgw854, It took more work than I at first expected, but a friendlier tool for running CSL tests is now ready. If you update your archive with "hg pull; hg update", you should find a script "test.py" at the top level of the archive. You can now c…

I guess it just doesn't work for me then. Odd.

After installing on Ubuntu with the deb package and setting the path to the Zotero data folder (version 2.0 final) at gnotero startup, I get the following error:AttributeError: 'Gnotero' object has no attribute 'max_results'It's apparently either fa…

Yikes, of course. I missed that too. In the new processor, it will depend on the style. With an all-names option, it will include the initials here. (That's useful in a way, because it tells you which of the two is the primary author.) With a p…

Where there are two citations in Zotero but with different first names.Not sure what you're referring to here. If Zotero is treating two author names as pointing at the same person, where the only difference between them is that one has a period af…

From Bluebook rule 14.2(a): The Federal Register (Fed. Reg.) publishes rules and regulations before they are entered into the C.F.R. Citations to rules or regulations in the Federal Register should give any commonly used name of the rule or regula…

For what it's worth, I put up some thoughts about this on zotero-dev. In legal research, we trawl over the same online material repeatedly, and the accidental accumulation of duplicates is inevitable, and likely to be annoying. As this affects oth…

@Isis, Including the court in all cases sounds right. On a quick trawl, I wasn't able to find the earlier discussion in the thread that you mention, but IIRC cites to the US Supreme Court don't need the court name because it's implied by the name …
-
Not sure if citeproc-js covers that case yet, but I'll add a test and make sure it does. There will surely be lots of detail work needed to get it working with Zotero. The timetable is up to team Z, but deployment before the end of March seems ver…

I don't think anyone at Zotero has undertaken to work on Google Docs integration, and the gist of the discussion above, in any case, seems to be that there are show-stopping issues with the Google Docs app itself. Someone will correct me if I'm wro…

It noticed this on my notebook. It's quirky, but I think the following steps will reproduce the symptoms I've seen. (1) Open the Zotero panel. (2) Grab the right edge of the leftmost panel (the collection tree), and drag it all the way to the left…
-
The new processor will add the year-suffix (if the option is used in the style and) the rendered cites are the same. For that particular formatting choice, it doesn't matter what variable(s) are used to compose the string.
-
I like this layout also. If all "atomic-ish" library folders are at the same nesting level, it's easy to grasp and to explain.
-
Aha.
-
That suggests that there are two items in your database with identical content.
-
Just to clarify, are there two separate entries in the bibliography, one for Smith 2010a, and another for Smith 2010b? Or only one entry? If there is only one entry, what is given as its year in the bibliography (does it have an alphabetic suffix?…
-
Following a report by Rintze, support for this was added to CSL 1.0, and has been implemented in the new CSL processor that will debut in Zotero 2.1 later this year. The current processor does not support this type of initialization.
-
@mgw854: I'll modify the scripts a little to make it easier to run custom tests, and add a cookbook tutorial to the manual. Bear with me for a day or two, but should have something for you soon.
-
If you're willing to work with command line tools outside of the browser, you can use the citeproc-js test suite, documented in the processor manual. The first step would be to install the Mercurial version control tool, and fetch the processor sou…

Sitebar does something like Zotero sync, for bookmarks. I think the question is asking whether it is possible to install the Zotero sync server locally. If that is right, LeChi, the answer is currently no. The sync server code will be released i…

@kat, When the new CSL processor comes onstream in Zotero 2.1, it will be able to handle both III and Jr, like this, and like this. I suppose I felt a need to implement it correctly because I am among the authors affected. Cheers, Frank Bennett, …
-
On the second point, yes. The new CSL processor, which will debut in Zotero version 2.1 (expected later this year) is designed to support this.
-
@jake451: Are you sure that's the wrong form? In Bluebook style, a "supra" backreference is required in the following case:1. Bloggs, "My Article", 123 L.J.R. 456 (1957). 2. Smith, "My Longer Article", 789 L.J.R. 123 (2000). 3. Bloggs, supra note 1…

In OO 3.0.1 here, it appears on the left like before, when the View -> Toolbars -> Zotero setting is restored, even with the standard toolbar locked. So on one system, at least, the workaround doesn't get around it. (Should maybe note that t…
-
I have OO 3.0.1 installed here, and the toolbar section containing that run of icons is also locked. The "Lock Toolbar Position" item in the menu shown by clicking on the expand-items arrow icon at the end of that toolbar section is ticked, but the…

@giby, Rich text formatting is working in a new CSL processor built for use in Zotero. It hasn't been deployed yet, but if you use the solution that Rintze links to above, your data will very likely carry over smoothly when the Z version with rich…
