Aha. I've just triggered the error here. Now that I can reproduce it, I should have a fix out for you within a day. Thanks for your patience, all.
-
I've tried Chicago full note in MLZ and in Zotero 4.0.12 with the LibreOffice plugin, and the reference works there too. Since I was unable to make Shara's example fail either, I wonder whether the cause doesn't lie elsewhere. Let's confirm a few sm…

@singley: Hmz. I've tried a bunch of styles with a reference configured that way (Newspaper Article type, no title, no author), and I can't seem to make it fail. I'll need to reproduce the error in order to trace the cause. If you have a reference …
-
Oh, that's very useful! What style are you using?
-
As adamsmith says, it works only with LibreOffice or equivalent. It's a free download, though, and you might want to try it as a complete alternative to Word. It can save in MS Word format, if you need to send documents to others, and so long as you…
-
Thanks for this information. I've tried importing and citing the item, and it seems to work fine with the "Manuel canadien de la référence juridique 7e éd (Guide McGill, French)" style from the Zotero repository. That suggests the error may be spe…

@rafael_souza1: Very sorry about the delay in getting back to you. I've loaded the style. I've tried with a bunch of random references, and haven't yet been able to make the style break. We'll need to investigate things at your end to find the sourc…
-
Apologies for the delay in getting to this. I'll have a solution or some questions about the issue soon.
-
All very good to hear! Zotero (and MLZ) can use either a "Bibliographic Style" or an "Export Format" for drag-and-drop: they are divided into two lists in the dropdown menu that you used to set the "Scannable Cite" translator (from Preferences, und…
-
Yep. It just adapts on the standard Zotero upgrade machinery.
-
I've made the adjustment in the processor. You can try it out by installing the processor patch plugin. Its only effect is to swap the most recent version of the CSL processor in to your running Zotero. When the next update to Zotero comes out, you …
-
Great! On to the next step. There are two ways to set up drag-and-drop cites for the ODF Scan converter. Both are set from the Preferences, under the Export tab. The simplest is the "Scannable Cite" format. Be sure to install the ODF Scan plugin i…
-
It sounds like you have successfully installed MLZ, and Zotero is refusing to run because of the version mismatch. If you visit the CitationStylist site and install from the "Multilingual Zotero" button, things should work. There is no need to unins…
-
Aha. Thank you for the information -- this is very clear. MLZ has no Standalone version at present. It runs fine in Firefox. So after installing MLZ, the errors that you received when you tried to run Standalone are (unfortunately) expected. It is…

Hi Josephine, I'm the developer for MLZ: let's get you set up so you can go back to work. Before we start, I'd like to clarify a few details. First, do you remember when the database errors began appearing? From your first post, it sounds as thoug…
-
Shara: Actually, it will be better if you start from Step 1 in the list, just to be sure.
-
Shara: Sorry to hear that you're having trouble. We'll get this fixed up for you. In order to investigate, we'll need to be able to reproduce the bug. It is probably triggered by a combination of two or more references in each document that breaks…
-
I've certainly no objections to Sebastian earning something on the side for work on OSCOLA, but I'm curious why just using MLZ is not an option? I can think of a couple of potential reasons (concern over support, unavailability of Standalone, small…
-
In MLZ, there is a jurisdiction field that would discriminate the entries, but it's not available in Zotero. We could go further, and completely disable parallel citation collapsing in Zotero, but that might surprise people using official Zotero fo…
-
(The simplest short-term solution is to put the year directly into the Title field.)
-
Yep, that looks like parallel cite merging. We shouldn't turn it off completely in Zotero, but it shouldn't trigger where it's not needed. I'll think about this one a bit and post back later. Feel free to bump this thread if you don't hear anything…
-
So to be sure I've grasped things correctly on the processor side, it will be acceptable to force capitalisation after a colon in title-case as a rescue action, but under best practice that word will already have been capitalised in the input. Is th…
-
Built-in pseudo-sentence case is the Zotero context menu transform on the Title field?
-
If each of the videos is of a separate performance (even performances of the same work on different dates), each should be recorded as a separate item (as you say). That's the only way to generate correct citations for each, if you need to refer to …
-
The processor should be fixed to do this, but according to 8.156, the first word in a (colon-linked) subtitle should always be capitalised, even in sentence case. I'm not sure what to do there. If some styles may allow lowercase chars following a c…
-
@joekyser: Could you put up a sample citation for such a document that incorporates the listed elements? It would be interesting to extend MLZ and CSL-m to support this, but I would want to accompany the extension with a recommended citation form.
-
I've done some experiments, and as far as I can tell the leading quote comes out reversed only when the example text is generated as follows: The italics, quotes and parens are all contained in the field (not provided by the style); and Straight (t…
-
You're going to be fine. (Do check adamsmith's question first. If there is a "Young 1989a" entry as well as "Young 1989b", the note below may help.) The "a" and "b" year suffixes were definitely caused by citing multiple copies of the Young 1989 …
-
Currently, edited entries are handled entirely in Zotero: the citation processor always delivers the citation formatted according to the CSL style rules, and Zotero uses its existing copy instead. The two copies of the citation are "dumb strings", m…
-
On (A), I assume you mean an abbreviation that is automatically generated from a set of fragment hints (hope I'm not misreading -- correct me if I've slipped here). In the Abbreviation Filter layout, the hints are registered separately, and may cons…
