That shows the plugin's Document Preferences window successfully opening, not a "Word could not communicate with Zotero" error. Most likely the window is just appearing behind your other windows. It's a window of the Zotero app.

Hello, I am having a problem with the Zotero Word plugin. When I click “Add/Edit Citation” in Microsoft Word, I get the following error: “Word could not communicate with Zotero. Please ensure Zotero is running and try again.” I am using: - Windows 11 - Zotero 10.0.3 (64-bit) - Microsoft Word Zotero is running before I open Word. I have already: - Restarted the computer - Started Zotero before Word - Removed Zotero.dotm from the Word Startup folder - Reinstalled the Microsoft Word Add-in from Zotero - Confirmed that Zotero.dotm is enabled in Word Add-ins The problem still occurs in a blank Word document.

I'm really wondering why you are building something if you haven't even tested out citation-phoenix yet. It's ready and easy to test out.

@AndySymons - Yes, if you want this plugin to be useful, I recommend that you match juris-m's field data format. Indeed, most of this data is already in Zotero's extra field in juris-m (jurism just hides it), so I'm not understanding what you need to rewrite/transform in the first place other than language data. You can get that field formatting from the jurism code. To answer you question, yes, I also do custom types. It is stored in the xtype: json in extra, just as jurism did it. Like I said, multiple people seem to have been able to load my plugin with jurism data just by syncing with zotero. The full list of custom fields and types is not on my website. It is in Schema.json in the jurism repository. I copy all of the abbrevs and jurisdictions from LRR, which is now maintained by George Duffner. That's what I mimic, exactly. As noted above, I'm suggesting you do the same, or else you are going to have a plugin that converts data into a useless format (that, or you are going to have to rewrite all of the data transformations into CSL and basically reimplement your own version of jurism). I'm not sure what language features of CNE and what you are doing in your plugin are missing in citation phoenix (other than script). Folks have been using my plugin with other languages already - the field names and citations are localized.

My bad. But like I said, this happens when I try to save from article page as well. The metadata are downloaded, but the PDF isn't fetched. Debug ID when I try to save from article page: D550230553 Debug ID when I ry to save from PDF view: D711988487

Thanks for letting me know so soon, Sebastian.

I'm afraid there just is no option for file storage in groups that isn't Zotero File Storage (WebDAV doesn't work for groups) unless you run your own Zotero server, which you likely don't want to

Thank you for your swift answer and yes, thank you, that would be really great!

@risch I am now writing a "Multi-Variant Zotero" (MVZ) plugin that should cope with the language issues. It will allow variants for all text variables in a way that mimics Jurism. (I tried for a while with Cite-Non-English but found it too limiting for my purposes). In parallel, I am adapting my Jurism to Zotero Migration program (JZM), to write tags for MVZ, so that all variants are included. (This is work in progress and my GitHub page is not yet fully up to speed with this). Regarding Jurism judicial extensions, at the moment, I map old Jurism judicial item types to standard Zotero types, e.g. "Classic" to "Book". I convert Jurism Jurisdiction and Court codes to plain text using Jurism's own lookup tables. I map the old Jurism fields to equivalent Zotero fields where possible then write any fields that do not fit the Zotero schema to custom Extra tags "jzm-". I could potentially change these jzm tags (which currently do no more than preserve the data) to Citation Phoenix tags (which are presumably entered into citations), so that we end up with a complete kit that replaces Jurism with Zotero + MVZ + Citation Phoenix, and a migration program that brings the data across from Jurism in a compatible format for both! I would just need a complete list of the tags you need in the Extra field (I did not yet find one on your GitHub page). Do you create special item types as well? I do not use judicial features myself and have not yet got around to testing your plugin. I will be gen

Hi, I'm working in a research team within an institution that has a license for another research management program, so we are not able to get funding for Zotero Storage (plus, we are in the EU and should be using GDPR-compliant storage, esp. if there is every any protected data in our research notes). I am looking into creating a group library for us in Zotero, which I've used for over a decade, because I find that other program very clunky to use. My personal storage, which is synced via Zotero, would quickly fill up with the group files and exceed my 2GB quota. As far as I understand, linked files will not work in groups. Is there a solution for us other than having a single (i.e., not group) library that is stored on Onedrive/Sharepoint and accessed individually by team members who are all logged into the same Zotero account? I'm worried about annotation/metadata editing conflicts in that scenario. I asked our IT if there are any WebDAV capabilities locally but I don't think there are. Any ideas or suggestions very welcome!

Can you please verify that the crash took place when you added a file? If that is the case, we have a fix for this in the latest beta, if you can please install and provide further feedback if needed. https://www.zotero.org/support/beta_builds#zotero_for_ios_beta If that is not the case, please describe what you were doing when the crash occurred.

Persisting in 10.0.3-beta.3+80bc5565e Curious that no other users seem to be running into this.
