PubMed - not saving ref, only webpage snapshot
With Chrome extension on Windows7, the connector icon is a page (not a Z). Searching PubMed I find a reference. When I hover over Zotero icon, I get "Save to Zotero (Web Page with snapshot)". If I click on it, it saves a webpage snapshot to my Zoetero, which is useless, I need the entire citation. Worked fine the other day.
Any thoughts?
Any thoughts?
(Note that it's not supposed to be a Z. It should be, e.g., a journal article icon, though.)
So, issue resolved itself. Seems like the Webpage snapshot may always come up first (?). The problem before was that it got stuck. Now it quickly changes to the correct one.
thanks
On my Mac, same link, no problem, get correct connect info: "Save to Zotero (PubMed) Has access to this site".
a) simply reloading
b) disabling other Chrome extensions
c) restarting Chrome ?
thanks

You really shouldn't need to reset translators regularly.
I suspect it may have to do with our institutions firewall. But without a detailed understanding of the issue for them, its tough to get them to respond.
The Zotero page icon to the right of Chrome's address bar now has a light blue bar at its bottom instead of lines representing lines of text throughout the small vertical span of the icon. When I save to Zotero Standalone 5.0.58 from Chrome, the Item Type is Web Page not the preferred Journal Article. The Authors are missing and I suspect so are many other items I need for listing it in my bibliography.
I was trying to save from https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/409678 . From PubMed, I can bring up an Acrobat .pdf scanned image of the article at https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC421168/pdf/iai00213-0117.pdf . I can save that as a .pdf into Zotero Standalone as a .pdf, and then the authors' names get saved mostly correctly although a dagger punctuation mark trailing the first author's name got translated into a lower-case "t" following the all-upper case name.
I guess that misreading of the punctuation mark happened when the the old document was scanned by PubMed. It is impressive that Zotero can save web pages and .pdf's now, but I don't want to have to do so, and want instead to be able to record the Journal Article info so I can cite it correctly in my bibliography.
Chrome Connector gives me two choices when I right-click: Save Web Page with and without Snapshot. After I get the info I need off my open web pages, I plan to Restart Chrome Version 71.0.3578.98 (Official Build) (64-bit) and even reboot my Win 10 computer, then report whether those steps fixed the problem.
If that doesn't work:
1. Disable all other Chrome extensions (for testing) then restart Chrome and
2. Try again, see if that works. If it doesn't, could we get a debug output ID from the Chrome connector: https://www.zotero.org/support/debug_output#zotero_connectors_firefox_chrome_and_safari for reloading the pubmed page?
I will let you know if the problem recurs and attempt to get a Debug ID from logging while reloading the page.
I looked at my Chrome extensions. I have 3 Chrome Apps, Google Docs, and Acrobat. That's all.
Thanks!
15 seconds would be extreme, though, so if you're seeing that on a lot of sites, something may be wrong with your setup more generally.
- Zotero extension > right-click > Manage extensions > Allow in incognito: ON
- Open the PubMed page in an incognito window
- Zotero extension > left click
- The Zotero extension saved the journal article in my library as I would like it to be (Item Type: Journal Article with the appropriate metadata)
I suspect the Zotero extension conflicts with one of my extensions (I have 15 extensions...) Not sure which one though. I have the following extensions:
- stayfocusd
- Google Calendar
- Honey
- Turn Off the Lights
- Eigenfactorizer
- Boomerang
- LastPass
- Zotero extension
- LearnFaster
- LINE
- Readlang Web Reader
- Google Translate
- Adblock Plus
- Britannica Insights
- Nectar
Does anyone know which extension(s) is potentially the culprit? Just so I can remove it/them.
Thanks!
