CSA "Could Not Save Item"

kduncan85 · June 14, 2011

Hi,

I'm using Zotero on the CSA Illumina database and am having mixed issues. Some of the entries record just fine but then others come up with the Could Not Save message. Am I doing something wrong or is it the formatting of CSA?

Example of not working link:

Seems to only occur when the reference is a chapter from a book.

yeah the translator code for this is weird, maybe ajlyon can have a look - it's above my paygrade. It tries to get the publication title, fails, and then crashes - the problem is the super-messy data CSA provides. What a mess.

Please go to http://github.com/ajlyon/zotero-bits/raw/master/Cambridge Scientific Abstracts.js and save the file to the translators directory of your Zotero data directory (http://www.zotero.org/support/zotero_data).

It should start working again. If this works for you, please post here so that I can submit this change to be pushed to all users.

It worked! Thank you so much.

Fixed in repository. Should be in the next version of Zotero.
