Attachments

I'm working on building the collection: https://www.zotero.org/groups/digital_humanities_education/items/collectionKey/7WX7SUVB/order/date/sort/desc

I'm adding items as Web Pages and would like to attach the web page's HTML file. The Attachment field is showing first as a text field, which I'm not sure how to use unless I upload the file elsewhere then paste a link there (which I haven't tried yet).

Then after I save the new submission it gives me an Upload Attachment button. Pushing that button opens the upload dialog box, but any file I try to attach just runs and runs and the page never loads.

I've grabbed screen shots if that'd be helpful. Using Chrome on a Macbook. Have tried in both the web interface and the application to no avail. Planning to try in a different browser now.
  • any reason you're not just doing this in the Zotero client? This seems tedious to do on the website in the first place.
  • The client won't let me attach files either. The Add Attachment drop down only is offering me the possibility to "Attach Link to URI." The other two options, "Attach stored copy of file" and "Attach link to a file," are greyed out.
  • The group permissions are set up to allow members to add/edit metadata, but only admins to edit/attach files.
  • Thanks - I wondered if it might be something like that. I'll contact Lisa and see if she'd be willing to change those permissions. Issue:Solved!
