Zotero Chrome Connection Beta - Capturing Websites

MUsebrarian
Hi everyone,

Thanks for the work on Zotero Standalone, glad to be testing it out!

I've also installed the Chrome Extension, which is working with my Standalone install. However, I'm only seeing the "save to zotero" icon when I visit certain sites, but not others. Am I missing something about how Zotero works in Chrome? (since there is no Zotero panel ala FF).

Running Chrome (8.0.552.237) on OS X.

Works (zotero icon appears in address bar):
Oxford Journals
Flickr
ProfHacker http://chronicle.com/blogs/profhacker/
NYTimes.com (on individual articles)

Doesn't work (no zotero icon appears in the address bar)

    The connectors don't yet support some of the embedded data translators (not site-specific). Thus, anything that relies on the COinS, unAPI, or DOI translators will not work in Standalone yet.
  • MUsebrarian
    Is there a way to just save a page to Standalone & complete the metadata yourself? (without a translator?)
  • ajlyon
    Not yet-- but that will definitely happen in a subsequent release of standalone. And the other site translators will be fixed as well.
  • MUsebrarian
    Thanks ajilyon!
  • weamon
    Just out of curiosity, has this been fixed yet? Because I use the Standalone Zotero on Safari and the translator on the Unibib app (Fribourg) appears but does not bring up the menu of sources. The translator works on other sites, however, e.g., Worldcat.

    Thanks.

    The general issue is fixed, yes.
    There has been one other report of this not working with the Unibib app - we can't really troubleshoot that unless we have access to a Unibib site with data. Neither ajlyon nor I have iphones.
