clickable DOI links

igw
Clicking on the DOI-Field ID in the info pane should call the doi resolver (just as the URL field works). Thanks!

    Done. It'll be in the next 2.0 beta build, which should be out very soon.

    Ooh, yes, I'm hoping for this too. Will DOIs and or URLs of references synced to zotero.org also be clickable? So that for instance if I go to someone else's library on zotero.org and see a reference I'm interested in I can click on the URL and go right to it?

    Finally! Thank you!

    Will the URL be configurable? Because we have an internal proxy for DOI request. Also, I've written my own resolver, that first looks in my local library, so I can share them more easily across computers.

    Can your proxy handle OpenURL requests? The DOI is used with a configurable OpenURL resolver when you use the "locate" link. Certainly for your custom-made resolver, it might make sense to add OpenURL support.

    I'm not sure, will check. It is essentially just a stupid proxy and is used like this:

    http://proxy.example.org/http/dx.doi.org/

    as for adding OpenURL support to my resolver, I will probably add it (if I can find good documentation) and offer it to the community if there is any interest.

    While there very well might be other popular doi resolvers in addition to dx.doi.org, it seems to me that you could be able to use the "dumb" proxy through another extension, such as https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5064

    But really, you just need to be able to use the get parameter "rft_id," check to see that it begins with 'info:doi/' (which may be urlencoded). If it does, strip off the beginning & use the doi as you do now.

    Yup. We'll do that.
