- import translators no longer fail when trying to import an item with no name
- the T2/BT field becomes the publication title when no JO/JF field is available (fixes newspaper issues)
- Y2 is now treated as part of the date if and only if it is improperly formatted (seriously, why can't Thomson get their own specs straight?)
- work around EndNote's strange behavior of putting article titles into notes for no apparent reason
- RIS export gives dates as per specification
- fixed a bug that could have (potentially) caused problems formatting "January"
- allow translators to access strToDate function
MODS uses the encoding as specified in the <?xml tag, or else UTF-8
RIS uses IBM850, since the spec says "IBM Extended Character Set" and it's the only code page Mozilla supports. (should I do this? or just use unicode?)
MARC uses UTF-8, since I don't think there's any way to get full MARC-8 support, and UTF-8 is now the preferred encoding anyway
- improved bibliography (especially Chicago Manual of Style)
- improved error handling for import/export/bibliography
- bibliographic export now ignores notes and standalone attachment (before, they made export silently fail). an error appears if you try to generate a bibliography from only notes or standalone attachments.
positions "saving item" window in a slightly better place on Windows
the UMich bug was actually bigger than I though. as it turns out, the HiddenDOMWindow in Windows is not a chrome window, so i had to modify createHiddenBrowser() to attach the hidden browser object to an existing browser window. i don't believe this should have any adverse effects for snapshots, etc., but Dan, correct me if i'm wrong. it would be nice to be able to create a real chrome instance instead of a XUL element, but all of my attempts at doing so have failed.
i've fixed the Amazon.com bug (i think) and made the translator show a "Could Not Save Item" prompt rather than show an empty list, but if you see any other pages where this happens, let me know
- make EBSCO scraper work better through a proxy
- shorten Accession Number -> Accession No, Journal Abbreviation -> Journal Abbr, Publication Title -> Publication. it does look a bit stranger, but it also makes the interface more functional (especially for those of us without giant widescreen LCDs ;-)
(Apparently 'columnName NONE' in SQLite is functionally equivalent to 'columnName ILUVTIDDLYWINKS' in setting column affinity--as in, they both use the default of NUMERIC--which frankly I feel the docs could've been slightly more clear on, since they scatter the word NONE in capital letters all about the page with the other affinity keywords...)
modifies scrapers to use dates in the format that comes out of the page, rather than converting to SQL
adds Scholar.Date.formatDate() to provide a pretty representation of dates
- Scholar.strToDate() accepts a string date and returns an object containing year, month, day, and part
- capture access date whenever URL is captured
- updated Zotero.dot to use new namespaces
Closes#208, tags overflow pane
This is kind of cheating, but it works, and as long as we can live with a 170px min-height, I'm not going to take the time to figure out how (and whether) this can be fixed.
