The report id is: 476376312.

This is reproducable in other browsers/OS' as well (tried Safari/Firefox on Mac OS 10.9.3 also).

Have I something overlooked? Thanks in advance!

  • This here is the issue:
    COMPAT WARNING: MAB2 does not export any properties. Only detectImport and doImport will be available in connectors.
    The catalog uses a relatively unusual data format (MAB2 that is). Zotero does have an import translator for that, but it only works properly via Firefox, not with the Chrome or Safari connectors. It takes a pretty solid amount of time to rewrite an import translator, so while it's generally on the list of things I'd like to do, it's likely not going to happen soon.
    Patches welcome, use the MARC translator as a template.
  • Ok, thank you. I think Firefox will do for me. Did not notice that there is still a standalone extension :)
  • Actually this turned out to be less complicated than I thought and is fixed now.
    Your version of Zotero will automatically update within 24hs, or you can update manually using the "Update Now" button in the "General" tab of the Zotero preferences. If you're using Standalone, restart Zotero and your browser after updating.

    Any further problems let us know & thanks for reporting
  • This is absolutely fantastic. Thank you!
