Hi again,

one work around I have found is to quick copy the reference in the preferred style and paste it into the field “extra”, which can then be added into the metadata template like this:

  • Reference:: {{extra}}

and this will then add the full reference.

A bit awkward as it requires adding the reference manually to every entry in the library in Zotero, but I couldn’t work out any other way. If one is doing one entry at a time (like I am doing), not too bad…

any update on how to change the admonition template? I’d like to add it in there and also make the metadata fields Dataview fields (with the double colon)

Just a quick one

I have a lot of “presentation” documents in Zotero, but ‘presentation’ type documents don’t have an ‘author’ field, but ‘presenter’ instead.

Presenter information is not copied into the {{author}} field

is there one for {{presenter}} in JSON that I can reference in my template?

#124

In the last version I have added a {{creator}} field that adds all the named entities (including author and editor). Would that work?
I could create a specific placeholders for just presenters if it is helpful

#125

Thanks for a great plugin @stpag As I am starting to explore it I was wondering if there is currently a way to parse a list of authors. My current workflow includes yaml fields for each author/editor/etc as well as [[links]] to each on the metadata section. Thanks!

#126

no, currently {{author}}, {{editor}}, {{creator}} will result in a list. You can wrap each of them around [[]], “”, or put an # in front of each.
Do you need something like {{author1}}, {{author2}}, {{author3}}?

#127

That will be ideal for displaying metadata at the beginning of the note. I can resolve the [[linking]] on yaml by using your solution and wrapping each [[author]]

#128

It would need to be [[{{author}}]].

I have tried the {{creator}} field but it doesn’t work for me (0.9.10)

I would be happy either to have a {{presenter}} field, or even better for data view would be that {{creator}} includes “presenter” along with other “author” field types bundled together

a related issue is that the ‘pop up’ menu to select and update notes does not populate the ‘presenter’ for presentations in the preview (but does for other author types.)

in the attached screenshot, the red circles indicate presentations that have blank ‘presenter’ last-name in the selection list (with a ‘space’ at the start of the title before the comma)

+1 for retaining the various highlight colours, please!

Different highlight colours, for me, indicate different kinds of information that I’m marking while reading PDFs. So, as they currently all come out as yellow in Obsidian via Bibnotes, I’m losing this information on import :cry:

#131

Thanks. @MichaBrugger (not here) has suggested an idea for how to retain the highlight colour in the note exported into Obsidian building on the Highlightr plugin (GitHub - chetachiezikeuzor/Highlightr-Plugin: A minimal and aesthetically pleasing highlighting menu that makes color-coded highlighting much easier 🎨.) and I will look into importing that in the plugin

Would it be possible to add line breaks to whatever is prepended to each extracted quote?

Im working on a Dataview quote query that lets me display each quote with. ‘Metadata’ and the format would be

#quote, [[projectX]], [topic:: life]
Fabulous quote. (Reference)

Or something along those lines - but the important part is the line break before the actual quote. So, I would like to prepend

#quote \n

#134

I am trying to use the syntax [[{{creator}}]] to create wiki links, but in some circumstances
it creates an extra set of brackets [[[[{{creator}}]]]]

Is there any chance that [[ ]] is being applied automatically to some strings in the author field?

Like if the author field is one long sting (like “company name”) instead of “last name, firstname” syntax"

#135

That is possible. Could you please check on json file if that is the case? If so I can add a check on the value and add [[]] only if they are not already added.

#136

Thanks for the reply - I have never actually fiddled around with the JSON in file before. But I’m happy to email it if you want to take a look?

#137

Yes, you can send it via discord, and please flag what reference is producing that problem.
Json files can be opened through any plain text editor.

P.S. I have identified the problem and I hope I fixed it in 0.9.12

#138

That would be fantastic. I’m just writing a literature review for my PhD using your plugin and it’s been life-changing (not an exaggeration!) so far. Really appreciate your work and will keep an eye out for (hopefully) highlighter support down the line!

#139

Hi @stpag
with version 0.9.12 and 13, I have a bug with my extracted highlights.
Only the latest highlight gets correctly formatted:

Do you know what might be causing this?
debugout.md (24.6 KB)

#140

I found the bug! It comes from the zotfile colors option. If I turn it off (and thereby lose the option to distinguish between colored highlights), the highlights are correctly extracted.

#141

I cannot find in the debugout.md the reference from where those quotes are extracted? could you maybe open an issue on GitHub and share the json file? I’m unsure on what is the difference between the sentences that are extracted correctly and those that are not.

#142

I have an odd issue

Is there any reason why notes created with this plug-in will not show up in the iOS app when dataview queries notes with file.cday?

Use the code:

LIST
WHERE file.cday = date(2022-02-01)

This query correctly returns the notes made with bibnotes formatter on the Mac app, but not on the iOS app.

…But other normal notes made on this date do show up in the dataview query on both platforms equally

Weird huh?
