    Hello

    I apologize if this is a silly question, but I love this plugin and would like to use it. Here is my problem. When I use no csl definition all of the citation content appears correctly. However, when I apply APA6 citation style (obtained through the zotero style repository then citations are truncated, e.g. I do not get page numbers and other information on articles.

    I am guessing that I am doing something wrong but what???

    Thanks a lot
    Andrew

    I just updated the CSL code – using a different way to retrieve the CSL files, updating the CSL formatting code and testing it with APA6.
    Could you please try again – and if the code still fails, send me an example of a document that does not work (document meta data and CSL formatting output).

    OK – I will try in a moment – thanks – Andrew

    Unfortunately – that does not work either.

    Page numbers are not added and some parts of the text are truncated. Here is an example:

    On Mendeley it says:

    Factors affecting the normalization of CALL in Chinese senior high schools
    Bi He, Nattaya Puakpong, Andrew-Peter Lian (2013)
    Computer Assisted Language Learning (June 2013) p. 1-13
    https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/09588221.2013….
    refereed_article

    In the plugin it says:

    He, B., Puakpong, N., & Lian, A. -P. (2013). Factors affecting the normalization of CALL in Chinese senior high schools. doi:10.1080/09588221.2013.803981

    In this case, no page numbers.

    Hope that helps.

    Since the document is not public in Mendeley, could you please provide me with the document type? I assume that there is a problem matching document types that makes the CSL formatter using a template without page numbers. You can find the document type in the details window in your Mendeley client.

    The document is identified as a “Journal Article”

    Seems like the correct thing – the apa fails with the zotero style file – and used to fail with the one supplied with the plugin… but I have not tried that one with the updated plugin.

    Sorry to do this to you but…

    In the past I was able to use the harvard1.csl style to give a reasonable citation style with all the necessary information, now the name of the Journal is no longer visible. If I remove citation style, all the information is there but in the wrong order.

    Any thoughts??

    As a followup. I now notice that no matter what csl file I use (supplied by you or supplied by zotero) the name of the journal is not there. If I remove the csl file completely then the information appears. Sorry I did not notice this earlier – I guess I was really happy at the fact that the tag filter was working and this detail escaped me.

    This happens in the peer-reviewed/refereed section of my publications and the documents are all identified as “Journal article”. The request looks like this:

    [mendeley type=”own” sortby=”year” sortorder=”desc” filter=”tag=refereed” csl=”https://gocultures.com/cstyles/modern-language-association.csl” ]

    Turning the cache on and off seems to make no difference.

    A typical article used to look like this (I made a copy for a paper CV):

    Lian, A.-P., 2011. Reflections on Language Learning in the 21st Century: the Rhizome at Work. Rangsit Journal of Arts and Sciences, 1(1), pp.3-15.

    I found the problem – In an update of the CSL formatting engine the mapping of attribute names was broken (PHP does not support attribute names / object attributes with dashes in the name – which CSL needs). Should work now.

    It looks like all the problems have been resolved – the APA citations are now appearing correctly. THANK YOU!
