  • A solution could be associate bibliographies to sections, as the page numbers. If it's easy to program or not, I really don't know... Instead of sections, it would make more sense to associate the bibliographies to sub documents in a master document…
  • No problem, and I'm glad it was that!
  • In OOo, is the Zotero toolbar selected in the View menu? (View -> Toolbars -> Zotero)
  • Once you've added a tag, you can add that tag to multiple items by selecting the items and then dragging and dropping them onto the tag in the tag selector box. There's an example of this in the tags screencast: http://www.zotero.org/documentation/…
  • Hi, I've got an Ubuntu installation here that's working fine with Zotero. Can you post an URL of a specific site that doesn't work so that I can see if I can reproduce what you're experiencing? Also, can you grab the following URL, which works fine …
  • I use styles, too. I just made my Bibliography style single-spaced with no added spaces after the paragraphs (and other things like a hanging indent, etc.). With that, the added lines haven't really bothered me. But I definitely see your point abou…
  • I'm just telling you what I've observed, which is that the bibliography brings with it a blank line separating the entries. I didn't know it wasn't supposed to be like that. FWIW, when I set the paragraph style for the bibliography to be single-spa…
  • I'm not sure what you mean by sorting - do you mean the alphanumeric order of the entries is out-of-whack and isn't corrected by refreshing? If so, have you tried completely closing the document and also Firefox and then reopening both and refreshi…
  • What paragraph style are you using in the bibliography? Specifically, how is the line spacing set? I think that what you're seeing may be the result of having the paragraph line spacing set to something other than single space. There formatting of …
  • Zotero web snapshots are HTML files, not PDFs. If you need a PDF, you could install a PDF printer and then print the web page from Firefox with that. And, you could then attach the resulting PDF to a Zotero entry, if you want to have easy access to …

  • If I remember correctly from the one time I used the repair tool, which was a while ago, eventually a link to download the repaired database file should appear on the page. I don't recall it taking that long. If something like that doesn't happen a…
  • Hi, here are some ideas about several of the issues you mentioned: What character encoding is your Firefox set to use? I think it needs to be set to Unicode (View -> Character Encoding -> Unicode (UTF-8)). If I have the encoding set to someth…
  • You could try the database repair tool: http://www.zotero.org/utils/dbfix/
  • If navigating the file system with Firefox seems a useful alternative for you, it might make things even easier if you add a bookmark for your PDF folder to your Firefox bookmarks. You can use such a bookmark to open the PDF folder, and then if you…
  • What I did was to add buttons for the Zotero macros for inserting and refreshing the bibliography to one of the toolbars in the OOo Master Document component. You can do this in the same way as you would add any custom button to a toolbar in OOo. F…
  • Yes, I've done that. You can insert the references in the subdocuments and insert the bibliography in the master document, and when you refresh the master document it will pick up new references added to sub-documents. Or, you can put the bibliogra…
  • Instead of uninstalling/reinstalling, you could try making a new Firefox profile, which would have everything at default values, and then installing Zotero there. This would not touch your current Zotero database and storage folder, since these are …
  • Are you using a custom Firefox theme? I'm thinking that "OceanChromeTangerineVioletGrassBubblegum" might possibly refer to something in a theme. That's just a guess, though. If you are using a custom theme, could you try switching to the default F…
  • Some other ideas: Are you accessing the web using any kind of proxy? Have you tried a site like the BBC? For example, if you visit the following address, what appears in the address bar (which address and is there a newspaper icon on the right)? htt…
  • OK. Are you able to save any other items to your Zotero Library? For example, if you click on the "Take Snapshot of Current Page" button in the Zotero toolbar, is a snapshot of the page you're viewing added? Also, you might try to rebuild the trans…
  • Hi, Which set of icons have you chosen in the OOo options dialog (Tools -> Options -> View -> Icon Size and Style)? If you have not chosen the Human style there, does changing back to Human make the icons reappear? If that works but if yo…
  • Hmm. I have a question about your original post: when you mentioned that you don't see the Zotero icon in your browser, were you referring to the icon in the Firefox address bar or to the icon that says "Zotero" in the Firefox status bar (lower rig…
  • Both Flickr and Epicurious work just fine for me on Linux. Have you updated to the most recent version of Zotero? Also, are there any errors listed in "Report Errors..." (in the Zotero gear icon)?
  • Hi mvatki, Why not use tags for organizing information about interlibrary loans? Once you've added the tags you need and tagged the relevant items, you can then sort the tagged items using Advanced Search. You can also make search folders containi…
  • The Zotero team should recognize that NB is a unique contribution to scholarship and work with NB's owners to bring its code up to date. NotaBene is proprietary software that uses closed, proprietary formats. It's not really possible for people outs…
  • Hi, I'm not a developer, but I have a couple of questions that I hope will be useful. No publisher information, page number, etc. 1) Which citation style did you choose? For example, the Chicago style (Note with bibliography) only puts the short ver…
  • Thank you for updating the FAQ, Tjowens. Could you also add the location of the profile for Linux and Unix users? http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox#Linux_and_Unix Thanks!
  • You can use the editable preview to see how different styles are formatting the various fields: http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/1298/?Focus=5387#Comment_5387
  • Hi, Are you using the Fasterfox extension or any performance tweaks in your user.js file? One common tweak is to increase the following variable: network.http.max-connections-per-server If you look in about:config and see that this has been chang…
  • The Zotero extension works just fine with OOo 2.3 on Gentoo Linux, however. This is with a self-compiled version rather than with a stock OOo package. It looks to me like there there is a typo in the error message. In any case, on my system there i…
