Still need to solve the problem, though. We can't avoid local extensions to the schema, so we'll find some way to keep the migration process orderly and safe. I've had another look through the possibilities, and it looks like the least violent alt…

How would that differ from cut-and-paste with the mouse?

Okay, so this was a little more involved than I thought. The code above was also broken. The code below wears suspenders and a belt, and seems to be pretty solid, at least with my own casual clicking around. It tries to drill deeper into the DOM,…

It certainly does seem odd. It might be worth pulling out an Ubuntu install CD and running diagnostics (e2fsck) on each of your mountable disk partitions. One of your configuration files might have gotten cross-linked. It's just a guess, but the …

@araneae, I've spent a couple of minutes this evening looking at the translator problem you've been having on the Royal Society Publishing site. A small fix in the RIS translator has gotten the site working correctly on my machine, but it will nee…

@and: Turns out that there is a small bug in the highlighting code that can trigger spontaneous highlighting of large blocks of text. I've pinned down the sucker, and I imagine it will be fixed in Zotero soon. Hope this helps.

@Dan, Simon: I think the variable names "childAttribute" and "siblingAttribute" were obscuring the logic of what needs to happen. When failing forward to the next #TEXT_TYPE (i.e. to find the starting position), you need to check children of the cu…

I seem to be monopolizing this one. :) Had some time to play with this today, and I've tracked down the problem. The fault is consistent. Here is a minimal document: Document to break highlighting One small paragraph. Another small…

I am using nearly the same system configuration (3.0.5, Zotero 1.5 Sync Preview 3.6 @ r4003, Ubuntu 8.04), and the preferences menu works fine here. This sounds like a problem with your file permissions under ~/.mozilla/firefox (could be a failing …

@martinlabaj: I would be helpful to people able to provide advice if you indicated which version of Zotero you are running. You can get that info from the About Zotero item in the menu under the gear icon.
-
@nannwe: This has been fixed in the latest release. Bluebook (experimental) is based on a Zotero that I myself have modified (I'm a user, not a member of the Z team). To avoid confusion, the developers may prefer that I handle any queries specific…

If anyone hitting this thread would like to take a look, I have put up a click-install experimental version of Zotero with (most of) the infrastructure for full Bluebook support. It covers only secondary material at the moment (no statutes or cases…

I guess I have my answer. :)

While I'm here, I want to make one more pitch for adding containerAuthor to the schema, and including this field for book types. This is needed for a very common use case that is not covered by hierarchical relations. Organizations (NGOs especiall…

What the heck. I had a few minutes before the start of faculty meeting, so I set up 1.0 and Scaffold and took a look. It looks like the scraper grabs RIS data from the page or a linked file, and parses that. This is generally a good idea, but two…

This happens when a site translator crashes or fails to capture an essential part of the citation data (the title, or one part of an author's name, if I recall correctly). Almost certainly, there is some subtle difference in the formatting of these…
-
Maybe a Visual Basic script running in the word processor would be the way to go? Can't speak for them, but the developers might balk at the idea of adding non-essential complexity to the core of Zotero.
-
@orpheus49: as adam.smith said above, the CSL code that Bruce floated is a thought experiment, an example of what the code for a working command for a subject bibliography might look like. If you insert it into a CSL file, it will either have no e…

If you set up the doc with a bibliography, can't you just count the entries?
-
Not-d'oh. The downloaded page is simpler, but the problem persists. Highlighting sometimes triggers a blanket sea of yellow from the cursor position to the bottom of the document. Removing the unwanted highlighting destroys any others that were o…
-
Same thing here, with the 1.5 development branch. It misses out the publisher field.
-
If you can, wait, it looks like that would be a safer choice. Better is coming, it's just a matter of when.
-
Further to bdarcus' point above, I note that Japanese uses a non-phonetic script, and databases designed for use in Japan have separate phonetic fields to accompany all fields intended to be sortable. This is a first step in any Japanese localizati…

@Tonton Macoute: You can find some information on where the Firefox profiles directory (where the Zotero folder is located) here: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Profiles Hope this helps.

@and: the highlight feature is very new, and I've run into some problems with it, too. I think the thing at this point is to let the developers know that the feature is really useful (as you've done). For my two bits, I'm not sure that an undo fea…
-
I am happy to say that this works fine in Zotero Sync 1.5, with the matching plugin. The only slight hitch is that I had to create a separate citation in the blank document into which I pasted the Zotero references, to "wake the document up" for Zo…
-
(piling on too late to save anyone's time here) It's as per adam.smith's advice. If you have the file in your filesystem, use "file:///" (three slashes) followed by the full path name to the CSL file (saved with a .csl extension). The browser will…

For legal support, we're going to need selective bibliographies. There are styles that require a table of cases and a table of statutes only, with no bibliography for references to secondary material. For this use case, the item type can be used t…

D'oh! "View printable text", linked right there in the document. So scratch that for our purposes. Can forward the files anyway, if it's important.

Could Zotero's own splitter be adjusted to keep Jr, Jr. and III with a last name?
