Upgrade Storageproblems with citeulike library page (i.e. COinS?) import
Hi
I'm trying to import data via my citeulike page (I know I can use bibtex export and then import etc, but this seemed easier). Unfortunately, zotero imports the data incorrectly. For an example, navigate to
http://www.citeulike.org/user/krthie
and click on the zotero import sign and import e.g. the first few references
problem 1: proceedings are not imported (they don't end up in the selection dialog box)
problem 2:first author is stored as last
problem 3: initials of first author are not recorded (when rft.auinit is used?)
example: the ref "Instrumentation factors affecting variance and bias of quantifying tracer uptake with PET/CT" has first author R.K. Doot, auinit in the COinS info is set to RK, but Zotero does not record a first name (it does for the other authors).
problem 4: the translator fails on the citeulike page for a spcific tag, e.g.
http://www.citeulike.org/user/krthie/tag/quantitation
problem 5: tags etc are not imported, but I guess this is just a limitation of COinS.
I checked the COinS content of the HTML tha tciteulike generates and it looks fine to me.
Note that problems 1,2,3 and 5 do not occur when I use import from the citeulike page for a single article (e.g. http://www.citeulike.org/user/krthie/article/9399683). I guess that the translator used is different in this case.

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Instead of commenting here, you should start a new discussion. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
https://gist.github.com/raw/1022539/c3707adb14eea4c4033e6611cb422014ba756260/CiteULike.js
and use it to replace the existing copy of the translator in Zotero's translator folder
(http://www.zotero.org/support/zotero_data).
You may have to restart Firefox - let us know if this works for you and we can quickly push the new translator.
(ajlyon: The only change is an added |/user/| in the regexp)
