AMAZON LISTS

basilides
Greetings!

I recently installed zotero, and am finding it very useful. I have one question, though, one which I could not find answered anywhere in the documentation: is it possible to "download" simultaneously an entire list in www.amazon.com? For example, the list created for evolution versus creationism has about 30 entries. In order to get them into zotero, I have to click on each link, then click on the zotero icon at the top, then go back to the list page, then jump down to the next item / link, etc. If this is not possible now, is this feature on the roadmap? It would certainly save a lot of time. Thanks.

    You should see a folder icon on search results pages. See the Quick Start Guide for more info.

    Note that some sites may ban you temporarily if you save too many items at once. (This depends on the site and the method the site translator must use to save each item.)

    Thanks, Dan. I guess this does not work for the list I want to download into zotero (I don't see any folder icon). This was not a search, but a previously made list made by an amazon patron.

    Here is the link:

    Ah, I see what you mean. Yeah, the translator doesn't currently support those lists, though it probably could be adjusted to do so pretty easily.

    Ticket created, which anyone interested should feel free to take.

    Support for lists has been added to the Amazon translator. Your copy of Zotero should auto-update within 24 hours, or you can update manually by clicking Update Now in the General pane of the Zotero prefs. Thanks for the suggestion.

    Hi,

    Nice work. The issue is that Amazon only shows 12 results per page to display lists or search matches. And When i click on the Zotero folder button I just can choose between thoose 12 items. Can zotero let me select from all the results or odwnload all the results directly ?

    Thank you for the support !

    no. Zotero needs the data on that page.
