Zotero 7 Plugins

Any chance for a list of compatible and not compatible plugins?
  • Would it make sense to start marking this on https://www.zotero.org/support/plugins ?
  • Indeed, at least to confirm the ones we know work with 7. Some on that least have not been updated for some years...
  • by the way, are the docs on GitHub or some such? The users could help you editing these...
  • No, they're a Wiki, but edit access is significantly restricted because there's been a ton of spam/vandalism in the past. Posting here and asking for an update is fine
  • Any chance for a list of compatible and not compatible plugins?
    Yes, it would be very useful to have this information to be able to test the plugins as well. In another thread I have mentioned about it.
  • Perhaps if we kick things off with this question - have *any* plugins been updated for Zotero 7 yet ?
  • I'm happy to add a label for any add-on that's compatible on zotero.org/support/plugins if either the developer or someone who has tested posts (we also should add some of the newer plugins like better-notes etc.
  • All my plugins are "disabled". I cannot see any way to reactivate them, suggesting that they are all dead now.
    I have tried updating, but it only shows "Updating add-ons" which never goes again, suggesting that nothing is happening.
    I have the plugin PDF Preview (Release 0.3.7 from Oct. 18, 2022) which was installed from Zotero 6. It is indicated above that it should be compatible with Zotero 7.
    What am I missing to reactivate the plugin?
    Windows 10, Zotero 7.0.0-beta.4+744e73bfd (64-bit)
  • zotero-pdf-preview isn't actually compatible yet, though good chance the required changes are trivial (currently it fails to install because the manifest is invalid, I think because it still contains overlay) -- I assume northword listed it because it's based on a template that's compatible in general, but it's based on an earlier version that wasn't yet.

    The same here, and this is just my doubt: I don't know how to identify which of them are already updated.
  • You can try re-installing, but in all likelihood, disabled add-ons are, in fact, not compatible.

    As far as I'm aware, currently compatible add-ons are basically those based on windingwind's template (i.e. those listed above and potentially a couple of others). None of the major older add-ons -- e.g. Zutilo, ZotFile, BetterBibTeX, DOI Manager -- are currently compatible. BBT's dev is working on it. I've not seen much relevant movement at Zutilo and ZotFile and ZotFile, in particular, is going to be pretty substantial.
  • ZoteroGPT is ostensibly compatible but none of the functionality appears to work. The button appears in the library but does nothing when pressed. The key combination used to activate it doesn't work.

    Zutilo please... DOI Manager too. What about ZoteroPreview?

    The preview, as in the last one, should really be in the core application.
  • Zotero Obsidian Note is also compatible with Zotero 7: https://github.com/aidenlx/obsidian-zotero

    oh, sorry, i was mistaken, the pdf-preview has the compatibility with Zotero7 done, in the zo7 branch, but not yet officially built and released.

  • All but the two plugins that were already Z7 compatible a while back, were disabled here and couldn’t be updated automatically. I had to choose the xpi file from Github manually for Zotero Better Notes for it to update. This can be done from inside the addon dialog which now opens an embedded browser, so no manual download steps are necessary any more.

    @gduffner: Not sure what you mean here. There shouldn't be any embedded browser in the Add-ons pane. If you're seeing something like that, can you open a new thread and explain what you mean?
  • There was a broken update link in the earlier builds of better notes (1.0.0 and 1.0.1). Please install 1.0.2+ manually and it should be able to update automatically.
