Chrome connector: problem with ACM Digital Library?

sistumpf · January 10, 2020

Hi -

I think the ACM DL has recently been updated and since then the Chrome connector has stopped working properly. Anyone else noticed this?

Is there a timeline for when the connector will be updated?

The fix is almost ready. Good chance it'll happen today or over the weekend.

I noticed the same issue. It still saves metadata of the paper, but not the PDF file. I have to manually download the paper and attach to the entry in Zotero. Hope it would get fixed soon :(

Same problem. Hope it gets updated soon.

This is now fixed — thanks for reporting. Your Zotero Connector should auto-update within 24 hours, or you can update manually by clicking Update Translators in the Advanced pane of the Zotero Connector preferences.

Any further problems let us know & thanks for reporting.

I have the latest version of the extension 5.0.61 (and 5.0.81 client) and the metadata nor the PDF are being imported correctly from the ACM DL. I get a generic "Web page" reference that is inserted into my Zotero client.

Translators update independently of the connector. See the update instructions in zuphilip's post right above yours
