Zotero Plugin and Flatpak LibreOffice

khalilbn
Hello,

I just installed the latest Flatpak version of Libreoffice on Linux Mint 18.3. I am trying to install the Zotero plugin manually but it doesn't work. Did anyone else try it, and if you were successful, how did you do it?

Cheers!

    What version number of LibreOffice is in the Flatpak?
  • khalilbn
    Hello, it's version 5.4.4.2.

    I was able to do it through the Libreoffice extension manager. The trick is finding out were the extension is. It is not were Zotero (flatpack) ‘says’ it is. To locate it, run this command in a terminal:

    locate Zotero_OpenOffice

    Just add the output in the extension manager.

    I just installed Zotero in LinuxMint 19 via flatpak. The desktop application works. Unfortunately, the above command hasn't located the Libreoffice extension file. Any help would be appreciated.

    In the Linux Mint 19 and Zotero 5.0.66 via flatpak the extension is located in

    /var/lib/flatpak/app/org.zotero.Zotero/x86_64/stable/727ac9a81ec0350290023bff4d154311a09fd2a1bb3fa26b686565717de46bb9/files/share/zotero/extensions/zoteroOpenOfficeIntegration@zotero.org/install/

    The alphanumeric string between stable/......../files can vary according to particular installation.

    The file is then Zotero_OpenOffice_Integration.oxt

    @pavel.puricer Não consigo encontrar a extensão por esse caminho, o que posso fazer?
  • LiebermannKirst
    @pavel.puricer, thank you so much for your help!

    For my installation, the version-independent path was:

    /var/lib/flatpak/app/org.zotero.Zotero/current/active/files/share/zotero/extensions/zoteroOpenOfficeIntegration@zotero.org/install

    Thank you also @pavel.puricer, I was also having trouble with the Flatpak Zotero on Debian 12 and got the Libreoffice integration working following your instructions.

    PS I could not browse directly from the Libreoffice extension manager to the extension location that I found in /var/lib/flatpak, but I dragged the .oxt file to my home folder and was able to install it from there.

    zotero-deb is now also in Debian extrepo: https://manpages.debian.org/bullseye/extrepo/extrepo.1p.en.html

    so instead of fiddling with install scripts, you can now do

    sudo extrepo enable zotero

    and install as usual

    Thank you Emiliano, this extrepo version of zotero is much easier to work with on Debian and I had no problems with it with the Libreoffice integration, so I am now using that instead of the flatpak. Thanks again!

    To my shame, I actually forgot who added my repo to extrepo. I'm glad it has helped.
