(Zotero-Firefox) Add-ons for Standalone

maxixam
The SA is great! Love it! The question is:
Is there a way to use the firefox-add-ons in the Standalone Zotero??
If not will it be implemented?
(Especially LyZ and Zot2Bib would be the two add-ons that I'd love to have.)

I am aware that there was an old thread here: http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/16702/addonsplugins/#Item_0 -but it is specific on one add-on.
Cheers Maxixam

    plugins can be used with SA, but the plugin developers will probably need to make some (I understand relatively minor) changes for compatibility.
    Installation instructions are, e.g. here:
    http://www.columbia.edu/~jpl2136/zotfile.html#install
    (this one for Zotfile, but the instructions are the same). Developers can find existing threads with documentation on the dev list.

    If you want to fix a plugin yourself, for most of the cases the only thing you need to do is to unzip the xpi file, then modify install.rdf and add the following

    <!-- Support for Zotero Standalone -->

    <em:targetApplication>
    <Description>
    <em:id>zotero@chnm.gmu.edu</em:id>
    <em:minVersion>3.0b1</em:minVersion>
    <em:maxVersion>3.*</em:maxVersion>
    </Description>
    </em:targetApplication>

    after a similar entry for firefox. Then update the install.rdf in the zip file by re-adding it.

    This should do the trick for most of the extensions that have been updated at least fairly recently.
