Chicago Style Troubles: double place, trans. before.

[urshofer]

Please follow the general troubleshooting steps first:

• [x] I read the README and followed the instructions.
• [x] I am sure that the used CSL metadata follows the CSL schema.
• [x] I use a valid CSL stylesheet

Thanks for your great Work!

I have the following Issue, using chicago-fullnote-bibliography-16th-edition.

This is the metadata:

{
        "type": "book",
        "id": "williams_daniele_2019",
        "citation-label": "williams_daniele_2019",
        "issued": {
            "date-parts": [
                [
                    2019
                ]
            ]
        },
        "publisher-place": "[Basel]",
        "publisher": "Birkhäuser",
        "title": "Daniele Barbaro’s Vitruvius of 1567",
        "translator": [
            {
                "given": "Kim",
                "family": "Williams"
            }
        ]
    }

Is rendered like this:

, trans.Williams, Kim. Daniele Barbaro’s Vitruvius of 1567. [Basel]: Birkhäuser, 2019, [Basel]: Birkhäuser, 2019.

Should be rendered:

Williams, Kim, trans. Daniele Barbaro’s Vitruvius of 1567. [Basel]: Birkhäuser, 2019.

(Test made with https://editor.citationstyles.org/visualEditor/)

Any hints - I'm quite new to csl, worked with BibLaTex before.

Thanks!

So, it's in this macro:

  <macro name="translator">
    <names variable="translator">
      <name and="text" delimiter-precedes-et-al="never" delimiter-precedes-last="always" name-as-sort-order="first"/>
      <label form="verb-short" prefix=", "/>
    </names>
  </macro>

Where , trans. is always preceeding, which is only correct if the author/editor is existing.

[urshofer]

I further pinned down the issue.

In the csl file there are several constructions like this:

<choose>
    <if type="speech" variable="publisher publisher-place" match="any">
        <text macro="issue"/>
    </if>
</choose>

If I rewrite the construction like this

<choose>
    <if type="speech">
        <choose>
            <if variable="publisher publisher-place" match="any">
                <text macro="issue"/>
            </if>
        </choose>
    </if>
</choose>

It works as expected.

It looks like the scope of match="any" is different between the standard implementation as seen on https://editor.citationstyles.org/visualEditor and citeproc-php. First is testing both (type && variable||variable||variable), latter probably (type || variable || variable …) or ignoring type at all.

@urshofer I'm having the same issue. Is this a problem with the CSL file or with citeproc-php's handling of the CSL file? How come citeproc-js doesn't have this same issue?

[urshofer]

I guess the bug is on citeproc-php's side. I did not have time to investigate further, so i changed the csl file a little bit to make it run with citeproc-php.

Can you reopen the issue in that case? I'd like to keep syncing the CSL files with the upstream repository as updates come along, and having (unneeded) local changes to those in order to resolve this issue is kind of messy.

Hi @jmvezic! Please check if the issue is solved with version 2.4.2.

[jmvezic]

Yeap, solved with 2.4.2!

As an aside, Composer wouldn't pick up the 2.4.2 version for some reason, even with ^2. I had to specifically say 2.4.2.
