Error - Times Digital Archive (Infotrac)

turkeyphant

I'm having problems saving citations from the Times Digital Archive. I get the "Could not save item" error but there's no mention of this on "known issues".

Any ideas?

URL?

It's through a university proxy. My link is http://infotrac.galegroup.com.libproxy.UNIVERSITY.ac.uk/itw/infomark/455/247/36032320w16/purl=rc6_TTDA&dyn=18!start_et?sw_aep=ucl_ttda

I've also got this problem, but I'm accessing it through a public library subscription (Tower Hamlets, London).

Here's the URL I've got for an article I'm trying to capture:

http://infotrac.galegroup.com/itw/infomark/750/859/78369662w16/purl=rc1_TTDA_0_CS118189622&dyn=4!xrn_1_0_CS118189622&hst_1?sw_aep=tower

It would be really great if this could work, as the site itself restricts outputting citations to plain text...

I've run into this problem too. Was this translator problem ever resolved? I've found at least one other thread related to it (earlier than this one).

I too am trying to access Infotrac via proxy server.

In case it matters/helps, here's the URL

this still seems broke. I can't get it to display a decent error, but here's the relevant debug:
(2)(+0000003): Translate: Translation using InfoTrac failed:
thrown exception => item has no title

Unfortunately, the one person volunteering translator patches at the moment has said that he'll be out for a couple of days - and his pile is rising already ;-)

an old, now updated ticket is here:

Similar situation as the Proquest changes, a couple of years back. The workaround was: Generate a citation, set it up to download to endnote, and zotero picks it up.

Just did that, works like a charm.
