It's the 4th such plugin announcement I can find in this forum. I salute the enthusiasm, but maybe all the developers could get together, join forces and make sure the resulting project is well maintained? https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/1289…

Can you post a specific example where the problem happens? It is often easier to study practical cases.
-
For the examples, please use the exact documents listed in the instructions. Please read them carefully.
-
Please provide more details about the style, as explained in https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/blob/master/REQUESTING.md#requesting-csl-styles

I have experienced the same problem, now the latest release feels much more solid. I've had to manually update it for some reason, but after that everything is running (and exiting) smoothly.

In order to be citable, there must be a parent item in Zotero containing the relevant metadata, see https://www.zotero.org/support/adding_items_to_zotero#pdfs In general I do not expect that Zotero will retrieve metadata for MSDS PDFs, so you need …

Good, it sounds like they eventually understood the need for more granularity! It's not really obvious, and the current translator doesn't seem to capture the DOI, but since it is available in the URL and somewhere in the HTML we could improve that.
-
I don't know why, but it seems to be the standard practice of at least one publisher (Routledge) to not assign a DOI to its book chapters, only to the ebook itself.
-
I can't find any mention of it in this thread (and I'm a bit surprised about this), but metadata updates are possible using a plugin https://github.com/northword/zotero-format-metadata

You can find the mapping from RIS to Zotero in the designated import translator: look for translators/RIS.js in your Zotero directory. The information is in the fieldMap structure, it isn't too complicated. I hope this helps - don't hesitate to rea…

I'm not a core Zotero developer (I'm working on a few plugins, metadata translators and text translations), but I was trying to get you to give more details about your request in a way that developers might be able evaluate. Your latest post certain…

I'm fine with the new keys, but it's certainly good to know for some other users. Thank you!
-
Thanks for your work, I don't have anything else to report: I have re-created all of my citation keys (or perhaps actually just repaired their visibility in Zotero) shortly after my first post in this thread.

1050 different values: right, no one wants to deal with that manually - I don't know if there are gaps in your sequence, but I suppose it's the actual order of magnitude. So yes, I'm suggesting to modify the RIS file using a text editor: replace al…
-
How many different values do you have? If you have just a few, you could export several RIS files and import them as distinct Zotero collections. If you have many, you could turn your label into a keyword (replace LB with KW in your RIS file) and i…

I understand how they can be culturally different, and I essentially agree with that. My question is how they would be different in the context of Zotero. Adding new item types is a complicated process, so there needs to be a very strong reason for …
-
As answered by a developer, translations happen on Transifex. Teams of volunteers handle each language, and the results are imported later into the Zotero code base. As for a Photo item type: I don't think the value of the object is the key factor…
-
Just to add a data point: on my machine I didn't get a prompt from BBT and all Citation keys were deleted. Not a big problem for myself, but I'm guessing this wasn't the intended behaviour.
-
I don't have the answers to your questions, but I can recommend one thing: be extremely careful to add significant delays in your code between requests to the same platform. Most licence contracts explicitly forbid massive downloads (with no actual …
-
You shouldn't have deleted the items in your library, if it's a duplicate you should merge the identical items https://www.zotero.org/support/duplicate_detection And if it is not a duplicate, deleting it will have no effect on your document - the re…

There isn't much metadata you can get from the page, unfortunately. But you can import some minimal information (title, authors, year) through the Endnote export of Google Scholar: https://scholar.googleusercontent.com/scholar.enw?q=info:QWtsPX3xNK…
-
Yes, the information is there. Maybe you are looking at the info pane of the parent item? The Indexed field is in the info pane of the attachment.
-
In other words: feel free to list the missing elements here! :-) If you are comfortable with Github, it can be slightly more efficient to open an issue there: https://github.com/zotero/translators/issues
-
Excellent point about the desktop app vs. web! I often forget that aspect.
-
Right, if you add a PDF from your hard drive, Zotero will not always be able to catch enough information to automatically create a parent item and fill it with metadata. As described in the link I posted, you can either capture metadata from a rele…
-
Perhaps some of your documents are stored as standalone attachements, and you need to create parent items for them? https://www.zotero.org/support/adding_items_to_zotero#standalone_attachments_and_parent_items The last suggestion in the section giv…

Are you collaborating with people who do not have the Zotero Connector installed? This is a possible cause, see https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/google_docs_citations_unlinked

Est-ce que ceci répondrait à votre question? https://docs.zotero-fr.org/creating_bibliographies/#menu-contextuel-pour-creer-une-citationbibliographie Si ce n'est pas le cas, plus de détails sur votre situation nous aideront certainement à vous don…

Yes. Select the attachment, and change the Title field in the Attachment Info section of the right-hand pane. It doesn't really look like it is editable, but it is.

I have written a first script that retrieves basic metadata for the sample book listing on Swisslex. It wasn't too difficult, but I see that the platform presents several possible layouts - I need to explore it some more in order to determine how ma…
