Saving JSTOR Items
In the latest (2014/12/03) "Known translator issues", it says "Due to recent changes in JSTOR, the translator only works when you have access to JSTOR (i.e. you can download articles). You will not see an icon in the URL bar otherwise. This is a permanent limitation."
If you cannot save the item in the article view, try browsing the whole issue of the journal and save the article(s) you want from there. It worked for me.

I have no subscription to JSTOR.
However, in Zotero Standalone (latest version) I see the icon in the URL bar AND cannot download.
Maybe the error explantion should be changed.
I've also just noticed that when I use the DOI for some articles in JSTOR, they don't seem to result in all the info being inputted. For example, from the American Journal of Archaeology: 10.3764/aja.119.1.0137. I don't get an author or abstract for it.
This article in JSTOR, btw, is using the Dublin core schema, where the author appears FIRSTNAME LASTNAME as dc.creator and the abstract is dc.description. I've pasted the info below. Returns are mine for readability.

<meta name="dc.Description" content="Abstract In this article, we present a reexamination of a shrine to Mercury preserved in situ in the basement of the apartment building at Via San Martino ai Monti 8, part of the ancient Clivus Suburanus, on the Esquiline Hill in Rome. A new campaign of documentation has yielded many new insights about the character, chronological development, and historical importance of this local shrine. We analyze the date and appearance of the republican shrine and consider the extensive changes that Augustus made when he restored it with money donated to him by the people of Rome on 1 January 10 B.C.E. The original interpretation of the monument as a compital shrine made after its excavation in 1888 is no longer tenable; rather, the monument is our only in situ example of an Augustan New Year's dedication. The new analysis of the archaeological evidence for this particular shrine, considered within the broader context of other known examples of Augustus' New Year's monuments, not only highlights its unique aspects b..." />

DOI: We never get abstracts from DOIs, CrossRef doesn't usually store them. The lack of author is a problem with the data deposited by JSTOR to CrossRef, you can try reporting that to them.
It's interesting that the issue page does provide the info.
Report made to CrossRef.
Does anyone know what is causing this problem?
http://www.jstor.org/stable/25722573
http://www.jstor.org/stable/10.1086/378695
Both of these URLs (one being DOI-based, the other not) won't save to Zotero properly. The Zotero button in Safari says "Save to Zotero (JSTOR)".
When I click the button I see "Saving to My Library" but none of the article info displays. Screenshot - http://i.imgur.com/YQJLiAx.png
I don't know Safari too well, but you should be able to right-click --> Zotero Preferences (anywhere on the webpage). Look through that and see if it says anything about Standalone (Standalone is connected or something like that).
Zotero 4.0.23.
Connector 4.0.21
I enabled logging, these are the lines for when I try to add a JSTOR item

Now, I tried it in Chrome, and it works perfectly, so this is probably not a site translator issue, yet other sites translate fine in Safari.
Edit: I also deleted and reinstalled the Zotero connector, emptied the cache and deleted JSTOR cookies, and tried again to no avail.
I get the "Saving to [My library]" box in the lower right, but it never goes through to grab the article, whether I do it from the article itself or the issue.
OS X 10.9.5
Safari 7.1.2
Zotero standalone 4.0.23
I realize that there's a lot of cruft on the end of the JSTOR URLs, but could the magic-wand feature of Zotero be enhanced to ignore all that? A long URL looks like, so everything after & including the "?" could be ignored:
http://www.jstor.org/stable/10.2307/1516352?Search=yes&resultItemClick=true&searchText=The&searchText=Literary&searchText=Influence&searchText=of&searchText=the&searchText=Ugaritic&searchText=Fertility&searchText=Myth&searchText=on&searchText=the&searchText=Old&searchText=Testament&searchUri=%2Faction%2FdoBasicSearch%3FQuery%3DThe%2BLiterary%2BInfluence%2Bof%2Bthe%2BUgaritic%2BFertility%2BMyth%2Bon%2Bthe%2BOld%2BTestament%26amp%3Bacc%3Don%26amp%3Bwc%3Don%26amp%3Bfc%3Doff%26amp%3Bgroup%3Dnone
PS The DOI now does get me the author info I mentioned as missing above.
(I don't think we'll start cleaning up identifiers in the magic wand tool, no.)
Safari on a Mac with the standalone.
I tried to download the Zotero Safari extension, but every time I click on Install after download, it just disappears from my computer, as if it was never downloaded. Very weird. Any thoughts about how I can successfully install the Safari extension so I can use it in JSTOR?
