When I try to add the following publication

www.discuss.wmie.uz.zgora.pl/gt/index.php?doi=10.7151/dmgt.1154

to my Zotero lists (using Zotero 4.0.29.16, in Firefox 50.1.0, Linux Ubuntu), I get the error message:

"Could Not Save Item
An error occurred while saving this item. Check
Troubleshooting Translator Issue
for more information.


Steps to reproduce:

1. Open Firefox
2. Go to www.discuss.wmie.uz.zgora.pl/gt/index.php?doi=10.7151/dmgt.1154
3. Click on "Save to Zotero" button


Thanks for any help.

Best,
Jan van den Heuvel

    Thanks -- the issue is twofold:
    1) The page doesn't offer any useful metadata for Zotero to import so
    2) It falls back to finding the DOI on the page and then trying to import that -- that works most of the time, but the DOI here has a period: 10.7151/dmgt.1154 and we assume no periods in DOIs, as we'd otherwise get too many that incorrectly include a period. I'm afraid there isn't much we can do -- you can easily copy the DOI, click on the "Add by identifier" icon in Zotero, paste the DOI there and import the article like that.

    @zuphilip do you have any idea to be smarter about this. I find it hard to think of anything that wouldn't have significant drawbacks.

    @adamsmith, wouldn't it be safe enough to continue DOI regex matching unless the period is followed by a whitespace character?

    Also, in this case the DOIs are hyperlinked (<a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.7151/dmgt">10.7151/dmgt</a>), so you could test (and prioritize) for that as well, especially now that CrossRef is pushing for DOI hyperlinks.

    On the top left corner of the page you see that "DOI 10.7151/dmgt" is written explicitly and the translator does not see all of the other content. I think the problem is with the iframe. It works if you open the content separate: http://www.discuss.wmie.uz.zgora.pl/php/discuss3.php?ip=&url=plik&doi=10.7151/dmgt.1154&sTyp=HTML .

    DOIs with a period should not be a problem, because we just exclude DOIs which have a period at the end: https://regex101.com/r/NPWLYd/1 .

    We could write a dedicated translator for that page. One of the links behind the symbols on the right is leading to the BibTeX.

    Dear all,

    Thanks for looking into this. Opening the content separately, as suggested by @zuphilip, worked. Let me know if I can be of further help.

    Best,
    Jan

    @zuphilip thanks for catching that -- I thought it was grabbing the DOI one further down and the period seemed like the only reasonable explanation.

    Custom translator is fine, though I won't have the time for that any time soon.
