We'll be digging into code logic. Shall we move this discussion to zotero-dev?
-
@aurimas: I obviously need to study up a bit.

If the user cites a journal that is not covered by the list, she should have some direct way of getting correct output. In the MLZ setup, it might actually make sense to ignore the journalAbbreviation field entirely when an abbreviation list is in …

Oh, that's interesting. So much for my thinking that Aspose and Scrivener were different conversion engines. I haven't yet had test results back on the cite-merge fix, but I'm pretty confident it can be pushed out. If there isn't text in the export…
-
@cw1987: What we're after in step 8 is not a working document, but a minimal document that fails. We'll need to examine all of the references in the failing fragment, so the fewer references it contains, the better. Once you have a minimum set of r…
-
@lucas: If you are able to share your document with adamsmith we'll certainly take a look. Conversion of an ODF document straight from Scrivener should not fail.
-
@benjamin: What happens if you select the text in a faulty footnote and then right-click for the context menu and select "Clear Direct formatting"? If that patches things up in the document, there might be scope to compose a macro that automates the…

If I understand how things fit together, this behaviour originates from the processor, so I should be paying attention to these threads. In the Abbreviation Filter plugin, there is a UI for the abbreviation lists. If the abbreviation is set to the …

Thanks for checking. The next step will be to try to fix the document, or failing that, to identify the reference or references that trigger the error. The steps are described here. There is a small chance that the document will be fixed before you…

Hi, all. Sorry be a bit late picking this up (particularly since it was clearly and correctly flagged as a processor issue). We definitely want to track down the cause of this failure. @cw1987: There is a possibility that the bug you've encountered…
-
@sharachchandra: The original topic of this thread is an outer suffix/affix on the (possibly multiple-reference) citation field. It sounds like what you are proposing is a "suppress-year" or "author-outside-cite" option. Here is a thread where that …

@rintze: For this particular tool, there shouldn't be any difference in behaviour between MLZ and official Zotero, since both use the same word-processor plugin format in the document. (Style issues and client bug reports are indeed separate though…
-
Sorry for being slow on the uptake here. I've taken a look, and the failure was in the document conversion, before application of the style. The ODF document was produced with with the Aspose tool kit, which apparently sets additional span wrappers…

I'm on the road this weekend (for a conference of Code4Lib Japan, where I will be giving a short presentation on Multilingual Zotero). There might be a day or two's delay, but I'll double-check the test cases with the patch plugin soon and post back.
-
@rafael_sourza1: Sorry, I had missed your message, Aurimas sent me a heads-up. I'll take a look soon, and if there is an issue with the processor I'll get it sorted out soon.
-
We actually need something like this locally. Zotero and MLZ are heavily used by our students for thesis preparation, and on completion, I would like to be able to harvest their references by giving them a plugin to install, a set of simple instruc…
-
For a robust version of the style, you might consider casting it in the extended version of CSL used by Multilingual Zotero (CSL-m). There are some aspects of legal citation that are hard to capture in current CSL, including: Jurisdiction-specific …
-
@rintze: Thanks for tracking that down. It looks like screen-scraping this stuff would be very tough. There is not much uniformity in the presentation, and with both multiple item types and multiple languages, we could find ourselves heading down a…

Looking at the "Legislation" area of the new site, I am again amazed at the effort and care that legal archive projects put into visual organization, while completely neglecting to provide meaningful structured metadata. It really makes you wonder w…
-
@isabel-h1: Thanks for reporting this!
-
I could take a look at this now. I'll probably have questions about the document numbers and other metadata in the pages, and about customary cite forms so that we don't miss essential details. Which of the document categories would be a good start…
-
Late to the party, sorry. Nathan: Let's get started. The 3.0.11m322 MLZ release is very old, and it's almost certain that the terse error you're getting is just due to the fact that it's not compatible with recent versions of Firefox. As adamsmith…
-
Apologies for the long delay in getting to this. The fault turned out to be due to a missing offset in the code -- it was comparing the et al. parameters in effect for author and container-author, rather than for editor and translator. Since those d…

@joehill: answered in the other thread. https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/30974/any-idea-why-an-a-author-comes-last-in-the-bibliography/#Comment_161725

@joehill Thanks for this feedback. The change that's causing this behaviour went into the processor code on March 23; if it's too aggressive I'll dial the logic back to be more precise. Is "al-" the only hyphenated prefix that should be treated as …

Okay, try installing this processor patch plugin (it works only with Zotero for Firefox, not Standalone). Handling this use case required a small adjustment to the logic inside the processor. I'm pretty sure that collapsing stopped working as soon …

Hi, I'm the author of the citation processor. I'm looking into this, should have something to show tomorrow.

This is starting to sound like there might be a problem with the local database on Bonnie's PC. I've send a private message, we'll see what we can discover.

We should wait until you can send the actual data for those refs. The statutory references look like they might be the culprits, but it's hard to know without testing. To export the items, select them in the center column, then right-click and choo…
