ProQuest Dissertations stopped working

ProQuest Dissertations database, for which Zotero uses the general ProQuest translator, does not not work any more. It did until a few weeks ago. I have tried all steps recommended in http://www.zotero.org/support/troubleshooting_translator_issues

I cannot offer a link since ProQuest is subscription-based.
  • Do you not get an icon, or do you get an error? A link would still be helpful.
  • I get an icon, it is clickable, but the "Could not save item. An error occurred ..." message pops up. Nothing is saved in the collection.

    I can't really give any helpful links. This is the login page: https://pqshibboleth.proquest.com:9443/Shibboleth.sso/DS

    Let me know if I can help you in any other way (e.g. save and send you a document view?)
  • We need either the link that's failing for you or a Report ID from Report Errors under the gear menu after you get the error.
  • One example link:

    http://proquest.umi.com.monstera.cc.columbia.edu:2048/pqdweb?index=40&did=728929351&SrchMode=1&sid=3&Fmt=2&VInst=PROD&VType=PQD&RQT=309&VName=PQD&TS=1236563565&clientId=15403


    The logged error (I checked, it reports the same error for any kind of link on ProQuest):

    [JavaScript Error: "TypeError: line.replace is not a function" {file: "file:///home/till/Documents/zotero/translators/ProQuest.js" line: 0}]


    I hope this helps.
