Articles from the Website zeit.de not working

mreiter · September 1, 2011

I can't save articles from the website zeit.de with Chrome (or Firefox). I get an error when I click the connector item in the address bar.

It works for other sites like amazon.de and I checked the suggestions on the troubleshooting_translator_issues page.

Please go to http://github.com/ajlyon/translators/raw/master/Die Zeit.js and save the file to the translators directory of your Zotero data directory (http://www.zotero.org/support/zotero_data).

It should start working again. If this works for you, please post here so that I can submit this change to be pushed to all users.

Sorry, I get the same error as before after I copied the file to the translators directory.

Can you provide a test URL? I tested this with http://www.zeit.de/2011/36/Interview-Lahm-Rinke and http://www.zeit.de/politik/ausland/2011-09/libyen-bani-walid and it worked.

fix works for me.

Alright, for me it works now with the first link, ajlyon provided, but not for the second one (about Lybia).

Could it be a caching thing of my browser? Because as chance would have it, I had tried the article at the second link before I copied the fixed "Die Zeit.js" to the translators directory.

Thanks for the fix by the way.

If it works for one page, I'm willing to assume that the error you're seeing is only temporary. There shouldn't be caching at work here, but let me know if you have consistent issues with the translator, particularly on other pages. If something doesn't work, please provide a URL and error report ID.
