Upgrade Storage[bug] ISI Web of Knowledge records are not saved, but refs citing them are
I use Web of Science/knowledge for most of my article research, and the connector (4.0.25.2) does not save the record properly when using the "save to zotero" icon in Firefox (35.0).
Instead of saving the actual record, it saves all the publications that cited this record (listed in the right pannel on the website), sometimes resulting in a large series of unwanted publications in the library.
You can test this with this publication for example:
Effects of intercropping sugarcane and soybean on growth, rhizosphere soil microbes, nitrogen and phosphorus availability
http://apps.webofknowledge.com.ezproxy.library.uq.edu.au/full_record.do?product=UA&search_mode=GeneralSearch&qid=8&SID=Q2iuYDP6Qm5d8Qm7rDo&page=1&doc=3
It doesn't save the actual publication, but it does save the three publications that cited it.
Cheers

So I can already see the following in the Known Translator Issues page:
"At the time of this writing, Zotero is not compatible with Firefox versions 35.0a and later"
Is this still the case? Because I am using 35.0.1 and I assume most people get the stable updates Mozilla put out.
The translator used is the right one, it says "ISI Web of Knowledge".
I am using both Zotero standalone and the Firefox add-on at version 4.0.25.2
Steps to reproduce:
- go to https://www.isiknowledge.com or http://apps.webofknowledge.com
- search for "Effects of intercropping sugarcane and soybean on growth, rhizosphere soil microbes, nitrogen and phosphorus availability"
- select the only result
- click the translator icon to save that record
- see that in your library, instead of saving the record you were looking at, it saved the three papers that cited that particular record (you can see the list thanks to the link on the left of the record)
Now, I just tested one last thing: I tried disactivating all other add-ons, and now the translator works fine!
I will see if I can figure out which add-on exactly is the culprit. I'll keep you posted.
Let us know if you narrow it down to some extension.
However, I noticed that I was testing all that without using my university proxy. As soon as I logged into my library services, I was using Web of Knowledge through its proxy (the adress is http://apps.webofknowledge.com.ezproxy.library.uq.edu.au) and the problem came back.
Is this a known issue? Is there any way around it?
Here is an error report ID: 123605531
I just noticed that the error reports says that I am using 4.0.23 even though I just upgraded today to 4.0.25 supposedly...
I updated Standalone to 4.0.25.2, same version as the add-on now, and I can confirm that I have the exact same issue: without the proxy, the record is saved fine; when using the proxy however, the translator saves the three articles that cited the record.
The translator used in both cases is the same.
Is there anything else you would need from me to figure out where it is going wrong?
Cheers
