Dysfunction: Zotero doesn't recognise articles

ArthurD1107 · January 25, 2018

Hi everyone!

I have used Zotero for about a year now, and I usually take data from my university's library website (i.e. http://solo.bodleian.ox.ac.uk), but now, the logo "Article" has disappeared and instead I have a blue page "Save to Zotero (Embedded data)". When I click on it, it does not recognise the articles but instead copy a Web page and takes a shot. I usually use Google Chrome, but it does the same thing with Firefox.

If anyone has the slightest idea about how to get back to normal, I would be hugely thankful!

Thanks for reading!

Please provide a more specific link to an item that doesn't work, or the precise search terms to arrive at such an item.

Thanks for your response! For instance, any article from this list: http://solo.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/primo_library/libweb/action/search.do?fn=search&ct=search&initialSearch=true&mode=Basic&tab=remote&indx=1&dum=true&srt=rank&vid=OXVU1&frbg=&tb=t&vl(freeText0)=alexander+wendt&scp.scps=scope:(ORASYM),scope:(ELD),scope:(LIBGUIDES),primo_central_multiple_fe&vl(516065174UI1)=all_items&vl(1UIStartWith0)=contains&vl(254947567UI0)=any&vl(254947567UI0)=title&vl(254947567UI0)=any

I can reproduce this — if you search for "test", it shows Embedded Metadata for the search results until you reload the page, at which point you get the folder icon. This appears to be a regression in version 5.0.32 of the connector, which was just released. We'll have a fix soon.

For now, just reload the page and you should be able to save.

Indeed! Thank you so much!

OK, this is fixed in version 5.0.33 of the Connector, available now for Firefox and within the hour for Chrome. Thanks for reporting.
