OpenOffice extension errors

dcroxton
I seem to be having slightly different problems from the other posts that I am seeing in this forum. To begin with, whenever I go to the Extension Manager and click on Zotero, it crashes OOo completely. For that reason, I was unable to use the update feature to install the latest extension, and I am unable to remove the extension to try a clean install. I installed the latest plugin over top of the old one. It still crashes OOo when I click on it in Extension Manager, but it is also not working to add citations.

Here's the error I get when OOo restores itself after clicking on Zotero in the Extension Manager:

"Error loading BASIC document
file:///home/dcroxton/.openoffice.org2/user/uno_packages/cache/uno_packages/8Rg0Ee_/Zotero.oxt/Zotero/script.xlb:
General Error.
General input/output error."
(very helpful, I'm sure)

Here's the error I get when I try to add a citation:

"A Scripting Framework error occurred while running the Basic script
vnd.sun.start.script:Zotero.Zotero.ZoterInsertCitation?
language=Basic&location=application.

Message: BasicProviderImpl::getScript: no script!"

    I forgot to mention these details: OOo 2.3, Zotero 1.0rc5, Ubuntu Gutsy.

    I decided to uninstall the OOo from the Gutsy repositories, which had given me some other trouble as well, and install the one from the OOo website. It worked!

    Although Zotero is now working fine, I still get the above error beginning "Error loading BASIC document..." whenever I open OOo. Since Zotero seems to have switched to Python rather than OOo Basic, I think this error must be left over from the old version of Zotero. I think the new extensions don't even use macro modules, so I thought I would just delete the Zotero module. Only problem, it asks for a password!? When I can't provide one, it won't let me modify or delete the module. Did Zotero put a password on its module? Do I need to ask about this in an OOo forum?

    This is a nice dialogue I'm carrying on with myself...
    Okay, I deleted the whole uno_modules cache directory a second time, then reinstalled the Zotero extension, then I got the "read-only" error that everyone else is getting -- which is a good thing, because I know how to fix that. Everything seems to be working now.

    Thanks for the help. I have had the same error. I've deleted the uno_module cache and now everything works.
