Since last year I've been able to gear up a little. I have Windows 10 and Word 2013 on a dev workstation at the office, so I should be able to check into this directly tomorrow afternoon (15 hours from now, give or take). I've been working on a fre…

This bit me today also, working with Juris-M in a VM - could have caught on to the game more quickly, but I lost a couple of hours to it. The lack of any indication in Firefox that a first-install of the program has come through as 64-bit is puzzlin…

You did Step 3 above, opened the (citations) version of the document, and it still contained the raw markers?
-
Actually, I take that back. The processor would have sorted on the single-field name for those, so the problem must lie elsewhere.
-
SzCol: as Dan says, if you change the names to two-field mode, the sort order will straighten out. Dan: The specifics of the sort SzCol was seeing on single-field items (keying on the first word after a comma?) seems to be a processor bug - I've ju…

I actually agree with what you said earlier, that embedding an actual save-to-Zotero button in pages would add to confusion. I was thinking of sites that offer RIS via a link from the item page. We currently need to cast a specific translator for th…
-
I agree mostly - but I think it could be designed to avoid giving the impression that it is a "save" button or essential feature. I was thinking of it more as a Zotero health check.
-
I was thinking along similar lines to LiborA's last post above, but as a user-oriented widget within the page itself - and I agree with Dan that a download button would be kind of pointless. Button is maybe not a good name for it (although it would …

Another discouraging factor is that the internal code of Google Docs could change at any time. With software as a service, there is no way to go back to the old version if the provider decides it (and everything that depended on it) should go away.
-
Step 2 is not needed, and there is one further step: open the document in LibreOffice, and click the "Refresh" button (the one with circling arrows). At that point, you should be prompted for the style, and you can select APA.
-
Yes, that's the symptom. It's including spaces in the sort on some platforms. If those are removed in the sort key strings, it comes out correctly.
-
Anyway, this will likely be fixed in an upcoming processor release. JavaScript engines all sort a little differently, and I have only recently been able to run the full test suite against the JS engines of the three leading browsers. It turned up di…
-
I can send a note to the Mendeley team when the update is ready.
-
Processor updates are more frequent than Zotero releases, so when a processor release is ready, I put up a "patch plugin" that users affected by a bug can install immediately (to be removed after the new processor appears in a Zotero release). I'll …
-
Found the problem in the code. There are some other changes to the processor queued up, so it may be a few days before the fix is released.
-
Confirmed. I'll take a look.
-
If the style is configured to add names for disambiguation, its rules probably require the extended form in the event of a clash. If that's the case, it's probably correct that way - although it can be alarming the first time you run across it.
-
You may be seeing cite disambiguation - when I render that item by itself, without other cites in the document, I get just "(Keller et al., 1996)."
-
Sorry, I could have been more complete. Zotero updates citations in the document automatically, if Zotero (Z-Firefox or Z-Standalone) is open on the same machine when the document is being edited and (in the case of Z-Firefox) the appropriate word p…
-
Does the citation form improve when you refresh the document?
-
A patch on (1) might be to code for (3) in the processor, but enable it only in note styles. For author-date styles, it would still be possible to use the workaround described by tghoward above. It would have some advantages. Behaviour would change…
-
Any suggestions on the best policy for the present? The current Zotero version ignores affixes on cs:layout, and so fails on most author-date styles (the issue that prompted this thread). Halfway-there does not seem a happy place to be, but if no ch…
-
Perfect, that's it.
-
Can you post a screenshot of the item data via https://imgur.com or such? An export of the item data as CSL JSON pasted to https://gist.github.com will also work - just so I can see exactly how to replicate it here.
-
Confirmed. I have a fix, but I will be unable to test on all platforms, [1] so I'll code it for the three DOM parsing modules, and we'll see how it goes. The label has been dropping in that construction because cs:substitute is not an immediate par…
-
Got it. This does look difficult. The ISBN is presented in default search results, so the best guidance to users in the medium term would be to paste that value into Zotero's "magic wand" to acquire item data. Sorry I couldn't be more help! A tran…
-
The request-for-demo-site-link form seems to sign me up for a Webinar instead, at least according to the confirmation popup. No response so far, but if a link does arrive, I'll take a look. From adamsmith's description, though, this may indeed be a …
-
Hmm, that does sound not so good. When the link arrives I'll take a peek though, just in case.
-
No promises yet, but I'll take a close look and see what I can do.
-
I'll take a look at it this weekend (I've also requested a demo link). If Zotero can access and parse the MARC records, it should be possible to build a translator. I think. (Edit: no special action by the vendor would be needed in that case)
