Miryam, I assume that the parens are either in the text (written with the word processor, outside of Zotero) or in the prefix/suffix fields to a Zotero cite. In the former case, this behavior would be extremely difficult to support, and almost cer…

This looks like a note style, with the notes placed at the end of the document as endnotes, and with a specialized format for back-references. It should be possible to fashion something like this in CSL, although it would take a bit of work.
-
@felwert, Thanks for getting back. In coding the new processor, I've taken on board that disambiguation needs to be based on the subsequent form of the citation. It's still a little rough internally, but you can see a test for the correct behavio…

@Rintze: Type 4 is journalArticle (the keys are in system.sql).

This may require a change to the current CSL processor -- I'm not sure. It might be a good idea to wait for advice from others before doing anything, but here's a thread where this issue is discussed, including a patch that is said to address it: …

If you're wanting the citations to be sorted into a-z sequence order by Zotero, this is part of the problem: There is no such variable, so this will have no effect. Try adding a macro that generates the year with the year-suffix, and setting that…
-
If by "plain text" you mean just breaking the connection with Zotero and converting the citations to normal (formatted) text strings in the document, check out the "Remove Field Codes" button. In the Open Office screen I'm looking at here, it's jus…
-
It would save you a lot of work in the long run to work out a way to pipeline commentary and code examples direct from the tests into your doc. Once set up, it should require just one push command from this end, or one pull command from yours to br…

Here-here. As you can tell, there is a serious desire among people involved with CSL to provide clear documentation for the language, and this is really good to see. Good going. Here's a thought that might help you get a little extra community le…

On a quick test with data as you describe using 2.0b4, Harvard Reference Format 1 (author-date) and the OpenOffice plugin here, I get this in the document: *** Citation (BMU 2000a; BMU 2000b). Bibliography BMU, 2000a. Book A, BMU, 2000b. Book B, …

Looks like a (single) standard code could be added by mapping a Zotero field name like standardCode to CSL "number". No change would be required in CSL (although styles would need to pick up the variable and format the cite correctly).
-
zpinhead, igw, cstrauber, I've just now posted a patch on the dev list that is meant to address this issue. If anyone reading this has this need, and is comfortable with unpacking the zotero.jar file and applying a patch, you can help the cause by…

I'm not a Word user, and don't know anything about its macro language, but it must be possible to set up a macro to apply this styling after the document has been finalized. Alternatively, I suppose you could amend the macro code in the Zotero plug…
-
At the moment, the new CSL processor depends on the application (Zotero) to deliver the date information as a structured object with year, month and day attributes, and this clearly isn't good enough. It looks like I could do one of three things: …
-
Here's a design question on disambiguation. Suppose I have three references, with entries like this in the database: John Smith, Book A (1999) John Smith, Book B (2000) Albert Smith, Book C (2000) I then format these with a style that uses surnam…

Seems to be a Word issue, not connected with Zotero. Here's a howto: http://articles.techrepublic.com.com/5100-10878_11-6154784.html (I'm not a Word user, so no idea if the advice there will play as advertised. But it seems to be in the ballpa…

@Imb, What Rintze said -- I didn't catch that you can use the "issued" variable directly as a sort key. Your sample test might be doing roughly the right thing because the order of the references in the document is fortuitously more or less correc…
-
Ah, I see what the deal is. The year is not included in the sort keys for either style; it's sorting on the author's name and initial (last name first) as primary key, and the title as secondary. If you want to change the sort, you should be able …
-
I'm sorry that I can't help with the sorting machinery, but I'm curious about one thing that might be relevant. Which of the Harvard styles produced this result? It looks like it might be Harvard 7de, but that's coded to use full names (not initia…
-
The response to the Accept header is a completely separate thing, unrelated to the form of the URI. I read the document, which proved to be very interesting. The reservations it expresses about changing URIs are based on the assumption that changi…
-
felwert, matthew, I'm working on a new CSL processor for possible inclusion in Zotero, and I'm keen to get all known disambiguation issues settled correctly before it eventually goes live. I'm not sure what logic the current Zotero processor appli…
-
I don't really see a technical problem here. If a user changes their name, and a call comes in on the old URI, the response will be something like a 301 or a 307 not a 404. If the calling application can't handle the redirect, it's fragile and nee…

I'm happy to report that the AGU sort algorithm has been implemented in the new CSL processor, using additional functionality offered in CSL v.0.9. The processor is not yet ready for deployment, but it's getting there. As a bit of reassurance, her…
-
Magic. I like the new website organization, and I'm looking forward to using this for classes, next term is going to be a real pleasure. Thanks to the Z crew, and to the entire cast of thousands.
-
One of the things I've contemplated adding to the processor is an API command that lists all of the fields that might possibly be required to render any citation in any form for the current style, to permit optimization of database fetches (if we're…
-
You'll have to work that out with the Zotero developers. Presumably there would either need to be a means of clobbering author names beyond a certain limit, or (if you need to maintain that info somewhere) store them separately, but supply only a l…

If I remember conversations with the late head of Japanese and Korean collections at SOAS correctly, Japanese libraries use something called JMARC.

Your system isn't frozen, it's just busy. I clicked on the icon and went to bed, the item was in the library when I woke up. I clicked on the item and the system went to 100% CPU, so I went away and had my morning coffee. When I returned 20 minut…

Just to chime in on the dates issue, citations to law cases published in newspapers require both the date of decision and the date of publication. This is from the Bluebook, but any cite to such a case should include both dates.
-
I believe that op cit. is still in the Chicago Manual, but deprecated. (A future version of CSL will be able to measure the distance to the previous citation, which could be used to implement op cit. in a style that still requires it.) [@ erazlogo…
