no pdfs are saved, only webpages [solved]
Hi,
this problem has been discussed on the forum before, but I haven't been able to find a solution. The translator troubleshooting suggestions are to no avail, either.
Say I was trying to add the following paper to my zotero: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0191886912001912?via=ihub
When I hover the zotero connector button, it says "Save to Zotero (ScienceDirect)". It creates an entry in zotero, but it does not save a pdf with it. Until I just tried it to create a Debug ID, it saved a webpage instead. Now it doesn't save anything anymore. When I click "Update Scihub PDF", I am only taken to a Scihub page, enter the captcha, see the pdf but then nothing else happens. When I try to update again, which usually led to a saved pdf, the same thing happens over again...

Do you have access to the PDF through regular channels (i.e. your institution or personall account)?
But seems it only worked for some papers. For other papers, I still need to use the sci-hub webpage directly, input doi, then captcha, before getting the pdf.
Any ideas? Thanks!
Just popping in to say that we're looking at forking the plugin to improve Zotero connectivity with the Sci-Hub collection.
Sci-Hub's captchas currently interfere with it, but there may be a solution. Hope yet! Will hopefully have something within 1 month or so.
