extending zotero... problems with sample hello-word plug-in

Hi all,
I want to create a plug-in/extension for zotero in order to synchronize a remote db with the local zotero db.
To make this I want to build and extension that (i.e. by clicking a button form the Zotero interface) will put in communication Zotero data with a web service that read the DBs and provides synchronization.

This is my intent. So I've read the development section and I've install the "sample hello word plug-in". But I've a problem: this plug-in does not seem to work: no alerts are displayed. When I go to the firefox tools>add-ons window this plug-in says: "Requires additional items".

Can you help me?

Many thanks, bye,

  • Thanks for pointing that out. The install manifest is out of date. We will update the plug-in shortly. I would also mention that the syncing you are proposing is part of our plan as well. So a db sync plugin might not be the best use of your time.
