  • FF 3.6 tells me that Zotero 1.0.10 is not compatible with FF 3.6 What can I do ? TIA - ftr OOo 3.2 (OOo 320m10, build 9477) Win Vista Home
  • Thanks . I shall change the forum as you advised.
  • Oh, I didn't see that. Thanks.This seems to solve the problem. Now I tried to change from fields to bookmarks but I get an error message in OpenOffice 3.0.1 under Vista: Basic Runtime error. an exception occured. Type : com.sun.uno.runtim…
  • Thanks for the hint. I didn't know that you can see examples when hovering over the style. Very well conceived.
  • I collaborate on a publication which a researcher who uses the Word 2007 bibliography tool and already collected a large citation base. Now we work on the same text, she with her tool and me with zotero. Which way can we go to integrate the da…
  • Is there any idea when the definite version of Zotero Sync will be published? The time line on the website about the development roadmap seems to be slightly outdated.
  • I am about to try DropBox. Which files do you have to backup : the zotero.sqlite file only or all of the subfolders in addition ? BTW: How to store the pdfs - which take real space - outside the database? I thought they were part of it - ? …
  • I see that Zotero is getting slower with more references input. I guess this might be a question of indexing pdfs. How can I see whether there are references that bog Zotero down ? Is there a list of recommendations for having Zotero ru…
  • Before changing to Zotero I used EndNote 9 with OpenOffice 2.4. It works. So if you don't want to reformat the references you should stick to what you have and know how to master well. There is a para in the EndNote manual on working with "other" te…
  • How did you realise that it was corrupt ?
  • Is moving an item between folders, i.e. copying to the new folder while deleting the old entry, as Andrew demanded - on the wish list ? And if so, any idea when this will become reality ? TIA - ft
  • That's the solution to the error. It works. Thanks for the rapid intervention.
  • I propose that Zotero survey its users through a poll email to establish from which data bases and citation programs users need to import and to which they want to export. Zotero already owns all the login email adresses from forum users and could p…
  • Dan, Thanks for publishing the patched version. It works like it should ! You solve a great problem here. I understand that the developer team prefers to maintain the project planning, but customer orientation is what makes a project strong. …
  • OOo 3 arrived yesterday but in fact it's a RC4. So there has been some time to "digest" the new version. As I see that there will be no rapid error treating today I tried to install the previous OOo version, 2.4.1. But to no avail : OOo said I…
  • I second the URGENT need for a working integration of Zotero into OpenOffice 3. I didn't know that I should not update OpenOffice as an extension doesn't work ! As I am finishing an important text with quite a number of citations I urgently need a w…
  • Ok, I'll remain with OOo 2.4 as this version works well with the extension. Thanks for your work . -ft
  • Would it be possible to debug the OpenOffice extension so that it will be ready when OpenOffice 3 hits the users in some weeks ? Thanks.
  • Many thanks, Catherine. I had already everything backuped , thanks to SyncBack, but didn't see it !
  • How can you backup BEFORE your Zotero archiv might disappear, for one reasosn or another ? - ft
  • Which form of attachment do you have to use to get the pdf file indexed ? - Link to file, - store a copy of file, - save link to current page, - take a snapshot ? When linking to a file it has to be downloaded on my pc, if I underst…
  • I tried to export my Zotero data base to Connotea to allow sharing with my colleagues but have stopped. The export via the RIS, MODS formats distorts non-ascii text. As we are a European research network working with citations not limite…
  • It depends on the publisher's rules. In some runes you have special abbreviations for having no author, no year of publication (in Englisch : n.d.), no place of publishing.
  • Online sharing of the references is what really lacks. I would like to introduce Zotero into the European COST 298 research network, but as the collaborative side is still underdeveloped there is no sense in pushing in favour of using Zotero. R…
  • I tried the OOo forums but have not yet found a solution. Jon Rubin - What did you mean with logging off (see last sentence) ? begin citation: I've encountered this and managed to find a solution. Uninstall the extension. Check that …
  • Same disheartening difficulty here. I uninstalled Zotero, deleted the uno_package, restarted the PC, installed the Zotero extension. Same error message as before: could not import traceback module. I have the Python bridge installed and repaired OOo…
  • I had the same demand. Currently, there are no collaborative features included in Zotero. Go to the Feature Request section and support the demand for colloborative features.
  • You think of which online bibliographic projects ?
  • Same problems, maybe not same reasons? I run OpenOffice 2.3 under Win XP SP2, Firefox 2.0.0.8 and Zotero RC5, i.e. all are the latest versions. When I try to import a citation into my text I get the error message : "This version of the Word plug…
  • Thanks, bdarcus & Scot for the comments. The current procedure is clearly not one I shall push the community to use, in a community whose members are in general no techno geeks and who have no fun in tweaking around. I have not tried it ou…
