Upgrade StorageALEPH Vienna University Library (error report ID 371874488)
Zotero does not seem to get along very well with the ALEPH-based catalogue of Vienna's university library.
The problem was already mentioned in this forum in February 2008 by user "etm" (http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/2182/httpalephunivieacat/) But there was no answer and Zotero still doesn't seem to work with this catalogue, even after I tried all the troubleshooting steps.
Support for this large catalogue would be much appreciated!
Additional info:
This is an example for one of the books Zotero did not like (sorry for the monstrous link): http://aleph.univie.ac.at/F/BG6VDMRJTUTLA6DVI6CBHMV7R6MMIMIHHS5GFHVP5HQUM47YAK-70055?func=full-set-set&set_number=038291&set_entry=000006&format=999
And this is the error message Zotero gave:
[JavaScript Error: "newItem.title is undefined" {file: "chrome://zotero/content/xpcom/translate.js" line: 654}]
(Report-ID is: 371874488)
(The funny thing is, though, that after countless tries, I was able to save one book reference from that catalogue into Zotero, without doing anything special. One. Then, it stopped working again and I haven't been able to save a reference since. So... the translator works only when it wants to? :)
Thanks for your help and for the awesomeness that is Zotero!

I have been doing some testing and the translator usually works. Sometimes I find it throws an error when I'm on a flaky internet connection (such as at a coffee shop), are you on a wired or wireless connection? The link you sent doesn't appear to be working (it just gives me the search page). Could you send some other broken links?
thanks!
thanks for your reply!
I've tried around a bit and I've found that it sometimes works and sometimes not. It doesn't seem to depend on the item I want to save, it just randomly works either on the first try, or after a few tries and reloads, or not at all.
To answer your question about my internet connection: it's indeed a wireless one but at home, so it's usually very stable and reliable. And about the links: I'm sorry, I've tried but the system doesn't seem to allow direct links to a catalogue entry, it always redirects to the main page.
And I've been able to save most of the problematic items anyway after trying for a while, or by trying again a few hours later. (No idea why, though.) So I guess I'm okay?
Thanks very much for your help, though!
