[5.0 Beta] Save button doesn't show up for article page

dstillman · March 6, 2017

This discussion was created from comments split from: Zotfile 5.0 Beta (for Zotero 5).

Installed Zotero 5.0-beta.163+d0d7aec and Zotfile 5. Everything worked smooth. Move/rename/link to pdf file in another location works well too. Did notice in my article searches (school library) that I have to actually preview the PDF in the browser now to get the import button to light up in the FF connector vice just navigating to the article page. Is this by design?

that shouldn't be the case. Could you post a couple of sample URLs exactly as you see them, for both PDF and article page?

Edit: @dstillman since this isn't about ZotFile anymore, could you split it off please?

Does not light up (http://web.b.ebscohost.com.library.capella.edu/bsi/detail/detail?vid=3&sid=cfb0f289-8571-4f46-aca5-54bc9901577a@sessionmgr101&bdata=JnNpdGU9YnNpLWxpdmUmc2NvcGU9c2l0ZQ==#AN=120027254&db=bth)

Lights up (http://web.b.ebscohost.com.library.capella.edu/bsi/pdfviewer/pdfviewer?vid=4&sid=cfb0f289-8571-4f46-aca5-54bc9901577a@sessionmgr101)

@dstillman Not sure about the split piece, I am thread challenged.

That should work. Could we get a debug ID from the Firefox connector for loading that first page (the link will probably not work anymore, so you'll have to navigate to it again. The key part is that we get the debug for loading the type of page where Zotero should, but doesn't, display an active Save to Zotero icon.

Followed the instructions, no debug ID given. Not sure.

dstillman · March 6, 2017

Not sure what you mean by that. If you're having trouble with the instructions, you'd have to provide more details.

bwainscott · March 7, 2017

I mean I followed the instructions, created the log and then pressed submit to zotero server and it did not give me a bug ID.

dstillman · March 7, 2017

What happened?

dstillman · March 7, 2017

Actually, I think debug output logging is broken in the current beta of Zotero Connector for Firefox. We'll have a new version out soon with a fix and will post here when we do.

Many thanks, all that aside thank you for maintaining a free and open source ref manager that outshines the pay offerings by miles...have tried many and none resolve articles as well as Zotero. I dream of in app PDF annotation one day, but that is for another thread. Thanks again.

All right, debug output logging should work again in the latest connector beta (4.999.13).
