Collections import from NCBI/PubMed

Is it possible to save thebibliography collection, like this, for example: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/myncbi/browse/collection to the library? Each my attempt to do this finished with the Chrome plugin`s report about the error. I use lattest versions of Chrome, Zotero plugin and Zotero Standalone.

I`ve already made this collection public before sending a link. Nevertheless, here is Debug ID: D618350206
  • O.Rym - I don't have access to that link. It tells me it's a private collection - and it doesn't look like it has any collection ID. Public collection links should look like this:
    http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/myncbi/collections/public/1jm46mJ1c8s5xbbjJu1jcTuA6/
    (can you import from that page?)
    Can you run me through how you get to that URL?

    Dan - anything in the debug?
  • @adamsmith, Try http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/myncbi/browse/collection/40383442/?sort=&direction=

    Looks like we just need to pick this up with the NCBI PubMed translator rather than PubMed Central.

    I'll push a fix
  • @O.Rym Update your translators (Preferences... -> General -> Update Now) and try again.

    Thanks, everything is working correctly
  • @aurimas - I keep forgetting, but don't the connectors cache the translators, so the force update wouldn't work.
    O.Rym - this works for me with the fixed translator, I'd expect this to start working for you within a day.

    There is a problem with downloading "My Bibliography" collection, but it can be solved by copying to another collection.
  • That page was not supported. Should work now. Update and try again. If you're using Chrome, you should restart the browser.
  • "My Bibliography" collection still can`t be saved directly without copying to another collection.
  • Works ok on my end. Did you update translators in Zotero Standalone then restarted Chrome?

    Yes, I`ve done it before trying. "My Bibliography" can be downloaded from bibliography view, but it doesn`t work from a collection view. But as for me it`s not important.
    Thank you for quick solving of the problem
  • How do you get to collection view for My Bibliography? Can you post a url?
  • I`ve already posted URL, but it doesn`t work for another users, it just works for my account. You can get such view by selecting all items in "My Bibliography" and pressing the button "View". Again, I think it`s not a problem, because it`s much easier to save "My Bibliography" from the bibliography view.
