ah OK, sorry, you're right I did misunderstand - this'd be one for the developers then but a follow up question - what is it that Zotero fails to do that stops you from using it for citing the case ? Is it a bibliography problem, that you …

This is probably something that the style should handle rather than having a special button - but where does OSCOLA say that you shouldn't use Ibid. ? Just glancing through this guide https://www.law.ox.ac.uk/sites/files/oxlaw/oscola_2006.pdf…

damn, that was impressively fast, thanks!

e.g. here http://www.jstor.org.ezproxy.lib.monash.edu.au/stable/i20619979 (I didn't post one initially as I thought the proxy would make it pointless)

thanks Dan

Hi Adam, thanks as ever for you speedy feedback, though in the immortal words of Dick Dastardly, drat, drat and double drat. And possibly also: curses, foiled again. If there are any historians who have to tackle this kind of problem, then I'd …

Hi Adam, wondered about MLZ, and clearly need to look in to it but will hold off installing it until I figure out / find out how big a problem this is going to be. Is variant naming something that's going to be addressed by the field & item ty…

Hi Adam, well good news, I've got it working again - bad news, gaah, I have no idea what I finally did that got it working. I always had libreoffice-java-common installed, so we can rule that out as a possible cause (for me at least). I uninstal…

OK, trying that, thanks for your suggestions. It's mostly behaving - and the irritation of it not behaving totally consistently is now being outweighed by the irritation of trying to *make* it behave consistently! :)

I spoke too soon. Turns out that if the add citation window has been selected once and I don't go back to Firefox, then when it's reopened, it opens on top. Add a citation to Zotero and it's back to opening underneath libreoffice. Plus, I chang…

OK, well I *think* I've fixed this. Went through all the 'window' preferences in Firefox's about:config Spotted the one that was different and changed it and now the citation window opens on top. browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction;0 …

No - I figured that'd be a shortcut to disaster, so I use a profile switching add-on that always closes down Firefox before switching to the other profile.

Couple of questions related to this : I thought I had a work around using character styling : select the italicised citation, add the character style 'emphasis style' and I thought that would be OK, but it seems that removing field codes also remo…

Dear Emre, I had a quick look at the Angelaki guide for authors - and currently, they just ask for : "Work accepted for publication in the journal is required to conform to the Modern Language Association Handbook for Writers of Research Papers"…
-
Dear Emre If I can find it, of course ! If not, I'll see if I can remake one - though it's been a while since I played with the styles - how soon do you need it ? Jon

Had a moment of zen like clarity, installed firefox on the mac. Safari still doesn't work, but don't care. Cheers.

"In addition to these major announcements, the developers behind LibreOffice have also revealed plans to deliver mobile ports of the office suite. Android and iOS versions of LibreOffice are under development and are expected to arrive late in 2012 …

LibreOffice 3.4.2 final is now out which fixes the problem here.
-
Oh and quick follow up question, in case this is a ubuntu windows management problem, are you using Unity or Gnome (I've switched back to Gnome, as Unity was driving me bonkers)

I was about to charge in and say that this is an old, old problem, but it's not exactly this is it? http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/3374/add-citation-window-appears-under-openoffice-on-ubuntu-804/#Item_5 I can certainly confirm the beh…

I'm running LibreOffice 3.4.2rc3 on Ubuntu 11.04 and it does indeed seem to be working now

I've got Adblock Plus 1.3.9 and the notes work just fine with zotero 2.1.8. Regards, Jon.

Yes it is (in press) Thanks, Jon.

HI Simon, just to confirm on ubuntu 11.04 libreoffice 3.3.2 zotero 2.1.8 and 3.5a2 Create a dummy document, insert a reference using bookmarks as the option, save it as test.doc close the document, open it up and the zotero link is gone, can't …

What happens if you try to enable the extension in libreoffice?
-
Almost certainly this: http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/17773/solved-openoffice-plugin-not-starting-ubuntu-1104-firefox-40/#Item_3 I really ought to change the name to libreoffice in the title but old habits die hard. I've used OO for t…

Brilliant, thanks, that fixed it.

OK, bit more info: went to the extension manager in libreoffice - the zotero plugin has the yellow alarm triangle. Tried to enable the plugin and got this error message (com.sun.star.registry.CannotRegisterImplementationException) {(Mess…

Don't use symlinks - I haven't tried it in Firefox 4, but there's an old bug that meant firefox and symlinks in profiles didn't work in Firefox 3.6x; like I said, I haven't checked to see if it's fixed for 4. Adamsmith & ajlyon's suggestion, i…

Well the short answer seems to be no, as I can't reproduce the crash. If it starts happening again, I'll send one in.
