Worldcat

LB
Since upgrading to 1.5 a couple months ago, I'm unable to save citations from Worldcat. I've searched the known-translation-issues to no avail. It used to work seamlessly.

    what happens exactly?
    sample URL?
    FF version and OS?
    If you get an error message - report error and post ID here.
    worldcat works fine for me on 1.5b2

    Sorry--got very lazy on that post.

    I don't think I can give a sample URL as I log-in through the university library.
    FF version 3.08
    Mac OS X 10.5.6
    Zotero 1.5.b2

    If I go through public Worldcat, no problem. But logged in through the university, for every item I get:

    "Could not save item. An error occurred while saving this item. Check known translator issues for more information."

    In fact, now that I try it more persistently, I only get the error on the first attempt to save. If I try again, it works fine.

    So the problem is nowhere near as irksome as I had thought.

    Thanks.

    this sounds like a proxy problem maybe - please still post a URL so that the dev team can see which proxy your library is using.
    Are you getting worldcat through some other service? (we get it through first search, e.g., which is also still working fine.)

    Here it is. Any book search doesn't work on first try, as far as I can tell:
