Problem with translator for digitalmedievalist.org

I'm having trouble with the translator for the Digital Medievalist journal. When I try to import data for recent journal articles they either incorrectly come in as webpages with minimal data (e.g. http://www.digitalmedievalist.org/journal/9/wills/) or as journal articles with the wrong information (e.g. http://www.digitalmedievalist.org/journal/10/copland/).

The test in the translator on an issue from volume 6 works as expected, and when I ran new ones in Scaffold those tests succeeded too (see below) but the translator doesn't actually work in browser (Firefox, Safari or Chrome). Any advice?

Thanks much.

In order to be useful for researchers these sources must include metadata or semantic links that can connect them to concepts relevant to the study of religions. This paper outlines ways in which some very different source types, including textual sources, place-names, pictures and figurines, can be incorporated into a single resource. The aim is to both facilitate analysis and to separate documentary processes from interpretative ones. This structure has been tested using a web interface for both searching and data entry. Some possibilities for representing the visual and spatial data associated with the proposed resource are also demonstrated.",

  • the target regex is missing a (www\\.)? You can fix this yourself for now --
    in Scaffold it'd be
    ^https?://(www\.)?digitalmedievalist\.org/(index\.html)?($|journal/?$|(journal/[3-9]))

    and we'll fix it on the distributed translator ASAP. Thanks for reporting.
  • Thanks for the quick response! That sorted it for volume 9, but I was still getting wrong results for volume 10 due to the end of the regex. This worked for all volumes for me.

    ^https?://(www\.)?digitalmedievalist\.org/(index\.html)?($|journal/?$|(journal/\d+))
  • that makes sense, thanks. Fixed now for everyone.
