More user friendly connection to Zotero about cite2c HOT 6 CLOSED

Stupid question how to you change your userID if you entered your actual name and not the number on the settings page?

from cite2c.

There's no way to change it in the UI, but you can set it manually by running code like this:

from IPython.html.services.config.manager import ConfigManager
cm = ConfigManager()
cm.update('cite2c', {'zotero':{'user_id': '1234'}})

Or if you set it to None instead of an ID, it will prompt you again next time you go to use cite2c.

It looks like this will need to be oauth - there doesn't appear to be a username -> userID API.

It could be done by scraping a page like https://www.zotero.org/takowl/items

Great! It works perfectly. However, all my bibliographic information disappears when I try to export as html or pdf.

from cite2c.

Yeah, they will for now. HTML is issue #10 - that should be relatively easy to do using citeproc-7py. Latex is issue #7, and it will be a bit trickier, because we'll need to convert the CSL citation data to Bibtex.
