springerlink changed, connectors don't work any more

sqrtx · 2024-04-17T05:56:02+00:00

the SpringerLink site changed their looks in the last two weeks and the Zotero connectors in Safari, FIrefox, Chrome are no longer folder icons that would allow to select chapters for import. ScienceDirect works fine, so it must be Springer that changed something.

Here is an open access sample book https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-1-4939-9074-0 and a Debug ID D254550185 after clicking the connector in Safari. Zotero still says that it's a book, but the other metadata are gone and no pdf is attached.

thanks a lot

The problem was also reported on Github: https://github.com/zotero/translators/issues/3302

I have a debug ID for https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-1-4939-1408-1 : D687680210

Help is welcome.

It looks like they're still testing the new design — I get one version (I assume the older one) in Chrome that works and another in Firefox that doesn't. The translator will need to be updated to support the new design.
