Hi!I use Better BibTex and on my computer it puts a Citation Key field at the top of "Info", but this doesn't seem to exist on the Web version of my database.Is it only local to my computer?
188BET靠谱吗It might be possible to hack something unofficial right now if you have BBT save it to the Extra field, but official support will only come with a new CSL version and field updates in Zotero, both likely this year (definitely true for CSL, optimistic but no promises for Zotero).
The delay is there so that if you import a new item through the browser addon, you have some time to actually correct problems in the new item before the key is frozen.
Ok, thank you

@qqbbon how to use the pin option for this.It worked, though I guess I have to refresh the whole database.NBD.
@emilianoeheynsMy issue was that it's not displayed at all in the *web library*, so I was wondering if it is part of the synced database or only on my local machine.
However (oops), it turns out I didn't fully solve the underlying problem.
I had been hoping to refer people to papers using a link to the public group collection on the web plus the citekey (via a shared database that already has these citekeys in it), but now that I've got the citekey into the Extra, I realised the web library doesn't allow search by field, so it doesn't point them directly to the paper (except by manually reverse engineering it).
Do any of you know if there is a way to search fields on the web library, or if it's in a an upcoming feature?
188BET靠谱吗I may just have to suggest they get Zotero accounts to search by key.
If you have the keys already, why not store the public link to the item as you store the key?A redirection server would be trivial, heroku could host it for you for free.
@emilianoeheynsI thought about trying to use the public link, but I don't see an obvious way to find the link either manually or programmatically, other than searching it myself on my computer and then opening the web library and searching it there based on the author/title, which would be a time consuming and clunky manual process.
If you could explain what you're thinking more explicitly, I'd be appreciative!
For whatever reason, there is no file on my system with the string FS9HLUF2 in its name or contents that I can find.188BET靠谱吗(Some other items have a corresponding directory in ./Zotero/storage, but that one and many others do not.)
I suppose I could write something to periodically iterate over all of
188BET靠谱吗//www.brodersterzo.com/groups/2691979/mostly-fat/items/and parse out the citation key, and then set up a forwarding system, but that is way more work than I wanted to just share bibliographies!
The
Zutilo add-on188BET靠谱吗provides a "Copy Zotero URIs" function.188BET靠谱吗You can use it to copy URLs for items in Zotero's web library without leaving the desktop program.See
here.
There's also a local version of these links, see
herefor details.They have the form
188BET靠谱吗zotero://select/groups/[groupID]/items/[itemKey].You get them with Zutilo's "Copy select item links" function.
188BET靠谱吗Note that Zotero's search functions only search within a given library or group.

The use case I was hoping for was to refer to items by citation key and a link to a group library.
@johnmy: it can, although it will require a bit of work.

So, as a concrete example, I set up my public group library so far with only one item in it to test.That one item is here: 188BET靠谱吗//www.brodersterzo.com/groups/2691979/mostly-fat/items/FS9HLUF2/library
