  • I think the OP is using "column" to mean "colon".
  • That would be great. From your reports, it seems Word is doing something very odd there -- it is not honoring the text-direction hints in the string for some reason, so it will need a kludge to get it to behave "correctly". I have my finger on the …
  • You might take a look at MLZ, an unofficial variant of Zotero with support for legal and multilingual referencing. I am not familiar with Citation 9, but if I understand your description correctly, MLZ offers similar functionality, documented in a s…
  • Is a current, fixed-up copy of the style available for use in testing?
  • Sorry about that -- the processor was missing that character in a pattern match. Try installing the patch plugin and see if that does better.
  • If portable Firefox is an earlier version (say before FF 17), it won't work. You need to be running a recent version of Firefox. In any case that's a peculiar environment, so let's not worry with it for testing, at least. I'm not sure why the plugi…
  • The plugin won't ask to reboot, that's normal -- it uses a different install method that works on the fly. If it does work, it will be unmistakable in the output -- Chicago author-date in-text citation will have "X" before the opening parens, and "…
  • It looks like the plugin has not been installing the alternative citation processor -- that last iteration contained a bug that should have crashed, actually. I've made some adjustments to the install parameters and added some ugly marks to the for…
  • Also, the plugin was set to work only up to FF 20. I've bumped the limit to FF 21. If you reinstall the plugin and try again, you may get a different result.
  • Is the Language field of the test record set to "he"?
  • Try the latest version: it may fix the problem.
  • I'm not a Windows user so I'm just guessing, but Zotero doesn't actually shut down in that case, does it?
  • Try reinstalling the patch plugin now. This one should have an effect on the parens formatting, but I'm not sure it will play well in both Word and LibreOffice, so test with both. (This fix is a hack: it forces the cs:layout parens on citations to …
  • Thanks for checking. A bit of (possibly) good news at this end: I now have parens-reversal happening in a formal test. This will make it easier to test fixes without pestering you constantly. I now see that the initial attempt failed because the RT…
  • The only other variable I can think of tonight would be something weird getting set in the plugin preferences that crashes the install, but I'm not sure how you should go about inspecting either JS errors or the preferences in Standalone (the former…
  • From that trace, it looks like the translator is installing (although if it's not turning up in the UI, something is clearly not working). Out of curiosity, what version of Firefox are you running (or if Standalone, its version)? If you have other…
  • Oops, missed that, sorry. Time is indeed precious, I stand corrected.
  • @Beckengel Oh, dear. No one is banning you, and I am pretty sure that the people who responded to you in this thread and others are in favor of democracy. Zotero is a single system, though, and choices do need to be made. If there are solid reason…
  • This is more exploratory than a serious attempt to fix the issue, but try the processor patch plugin (just install it alongside MLZ or mainline Zotero). To test it, set the Language field of a Hebrew item to "he", then insert a citation into a docu…
  • If you can provide a link to the other discussion, it will bring everything to one place, where any problems can be seen clearly.
  • Ah, good, that's clear. It's failing because of the other creators that you are also rendering with the cs:names node. It's easy to fix, but your choice of variables prompts a question. Will there be cases where the collection-editor variable shoul…
  • No problem. The book is about to be pushed to publication (in the next few hours). I'll send you something to try out this weekend.
  • You can identify them pretty quickly via Aurimas' field description page: http://aurimasv.github.io/z2csl/typeMap
  • Here is a direct link to the specific page on this in the documentation: http://www.zotero.org/support/preferences/cite
  • You can post an image here: http://imageshack.us It's likely that you're just looking in the wrong place. The option is in Firefox/Standalone Preferences, in the "Cite" panel, as adamsmith says.
  • CSL can certainly do alphabetic sorting in a numeric style. The specification contains an example of the necessary CSL code: http://citationstyles.org/downloads/specification.html#bibliography Instructions for modifying a style are here: https://…
  • Is this a style requirement, or is alphabetical sorting in the bibliography a personal preference?
  • If open each item for editing, you will find an "Open in ..." link at the bottom. If you use that to open each item, I think you'll find that at least one of them differs from the others.
  • I think adamsmith would like to know whether, at present, the user that uploaded an attachment that currently shows an empty dot on your system can (a) still access the file on their own computer, and (b) if so, whether they can access the file in t…
  • The year-suffix ("a", "b" etc) is assigned in bibliography order. The American Geophysical Union style uses sorting and disambiguation methods that can reverse the sequence in the bibliography (in which case "Doe 2010b" "Doe 2010a" in the citations …
