Problems in adding zotero/libreoffice plug in
I have tried several times to install the plug in for zotero/libreoffice integration. The icons in libreoffice appear but they are non responsive. When I try to reinstall the extension software, it comes to a halt and I have to force quit libreoffice in order for it to start working again. Any tips would be helpful.
I fail at the last step of building the bibliography.
On Windows, also check the JRE version, though I think you'll want the most recent 64bit one there.
I don't think I have any more ideas. Certainly possible it's a LO issue, so you can try what type of info they'd want for troubleshooting. (Yes it comes up with Zotero integration, but it shouldn't just freeze).
Mmmm
Is there a work around solution for multiple references from the same author?
I had Zotero working fine on Open Office but decided to switch to LibreOffice due to an annoying bug, and other reasons.
Now when trying to install the Zotero LibreOffice Integration Add-on in Zotero stand-alone, I only get errors and LibreOffice goes into overdrive trying to install and I have to force quit it. In LibreOffice Extension Manager it appears the Zotero extension is there but not working, when I try to click resume installation it also just crashes.
I have Java Runtime legacy 6 installed and have tried all sorts of various restarts.
Anyone ideas?

And similar to you at the beginning, I had the toolbar appearing but nothing happened when I tried to use it...
But now I run back into the problems I had before:.
BTW: I would like to add bitmaps rather than write whole the messages I get! (well some errors can get copied and pasted as here)
So the reason for installing the add on _again_ was that it had disappeared in Libre Office (now 5.0.4). I did uninstall.
So first
Opening the preferences of the add on I press the button to install 7 reinstall "Libre Office/Add-in".
Here was an error to ensure Libre Office is closed. It WAS closed. In the Activity Monitor ther is no Libre Office!
Reopening Firefox does not help.
So I tried to install manually by double click. Libre Office starts. Opening the text writer does not show anything about Zotero again.
Trying to add by the extension manager ends in an fatal error:
LibreOffice 5.0 - Fatal Error
[context="user"] caught unexpected com.sun.star.deployment.DeploymentException: Extension Manager: failed to read data entry in configuration backend db: file:///Users/Winkelmann/Library/Application%20Support/LibreOffice/4/user/uno_packages/cache/registry/com.sun.star.comp.deployment.configuration.PackageRegistryBackend/backenddb.xml
and LO crashes.
I should add that I could not install the Language Pack for German (I noted the bug n the LO forum already) and so I have to use the English version.
So the use of Libre Office gets more and more strange to me...
And:
Now after this action I get the error in Firefox (translated): "Zotero LibreOffice Integration could not get verified for use in Firefox and got unactivated". So I have to delete again.
This really sounds like an issue on the LibreOffice side, with something preventing proper file access (the close LibreOffice message typically indicates a locked file). Especially if other add-on installations (like the language pack) are failing, you'll want to figure that out first and I don't have much advice. I assume youve tried a re-install of LibreOffice -- that'd be my only idea and it's not very sophisticated...
You still shouldn't be getting the unverified error message, though. You're downloading the add-on from https://www.zotero.org/support/word_processor_plugin_installation#libreoffice ? And which Firefox version?
I know but to much work on it...
I reinstalled Libre Office several times. But I gave it a last try just the moment. No success...
Tht's the same link as I use.
My download link is this one:
https://download.zotero.org/integration/Zotero-LibreOffice-Plugin-3.5.11.xpi
Coming through main page -> Download -> https://www.zotero.org/support/word_processor_plugin_installation
My Firefox version is 44.0.2 on OSX 10.9.5...
When I will install the Extension in LibreOffice, LO freeze and I have to stop LO.
Is there no solution? :(
You must install the JDK - NOT! the JRE!

Now the installation of Zotero-Plugin works!
