Compatible with DokuWiki last version.

Tagged with citing, latex, references, zotero.

Download and Installation

Download and install the plugin using the Plugin Manager using the URL given above (http://f.macke.it/ZoteroPlugin). Refer to Plugins on how to install plugins manually.

Configuration

  1. Enter your Zotero username, key and user ID into zotero.ini.
  2. If you would like to use a wiki page as the cache page for Zotero entries, create a new page and enter its name into zotero.ini (e.g. zotero:sources). If you don't want to use the cache page, delete the entry in zotero.ini.
  3. Initially enter your Zotero entries into the cache file (the newly created wiki page or sources.txt if you don't want to use the wiki page). This can be automated by calling readEntries.php from the command line.
  4. If you cite a source that is not already in the cache, the plugin will automatically download your latest Zotero entries and add them to the cache. For this to work you have to enable autoupdate in zotero.ini.

Syntax and Usage

You can cite your Zotero sources by using the syntax known from LaTeX:

\cite[p.123]{ShortName123}

Prerequisites

  • You need to have your Zotero database synchronized with the Zotero server.
  • Every source you would like to cite needs a “short name” in the Zotero database.
  • You need to make your Zotero reference list public and configure a “key” for access to the RSS feed.

History

  • 2010-06-02: Release of initial version

Discussion

  • Is it possible to add a functionnality to list all references cited at the end of the document, like with the latex command: \nocite{*} or \bibliography{zotero_biblio} ?
