No go in ProQuest using 1.5

domangen
Not able to grab citations from ProQuest in v1.5b1.

Here's an example of a URL:
http://proquest.umi.com/pqdlink?index=0&did=1580752981&SrchMode=1&sid=1&Fmt=3&VInst=PROD&VType=PQD&RQT=309&VName=PQD&TS=1236644964&clientId=83650

Anything I can do to try and troubleshoot?

Many thanks,
Ofelia

    Didn't work for me a little bit ago, but after restarting Firefox it is working properly.

    What message are you getting, if any?

    Although I notice that Ph.D. gets put in the Extra field rather than in the Type field where it belongs. It actually should be PhD diss. according to Turabian. That's fairly minor though.

    I am not able to grab citations from Proquest after installing 1.5 but it used to work. Any ideas, is there somethig to check permission within Firefox?

    I had no trouble pulling in a few items from Proquest with 1.5. Can you run through the troubleshooting translators process and report back.

    Sorry to take so long as this was not marked where I normally look.
    I went through the steps but did not succeed in rectifing teh problem. I have no other add ons and I reset the translators but that does not enable me to grap the citation from the url piece of firefox. FYI it does work for a book I looked up on Amazon

    Here is the search from EBSCO for one of my articles
    https://extranet.cranfield.ac.uk/ehost/,DanaInfo=web.ebscohost.com+resultsadvanced?vid=3&hid=7&sid=3426c44d-f037-456f-8ac3-ea4832e53091%40sessionmgr7&bquery=(AU+(+maklan+))+and+(AU+(+knox+))&bdata=JmRiPWJ0aCZ0eXBlPTEmc2l0ZT1laG9zdC1saXZl

    Then if I click on it:
    https://extranet.cranfield.ac.uk/ehost/,DanaInfo=web.ebscohost.com+detail?vid=4&hid=7&sid=3426c44d-f037-456f-8ac3-ea4832e53091%40sessionmgr7&bdata=JnNpdGU9ZWhvc3QtbGl2ZQ%3d%3d#db=bth&AN=30004924

    Here is a URL for someone else's article:
    https://extranet.cranfield.ac.uk/ehost/,DanaInfo=web.ebscohost.com+detail?vid=6&hid=7&sid=3426c44d-f037-456f-8ac3-ea4832e53091%40sessionmgr7&bdata=JnNpdGU9ZWhvc3QtbGl2ZQ%3d%3d#db=bth&AN=14328982

    Does this help?

    EBSCO and 2.06; the icon in the browser is still there but when I press it, I see the Zotero box with a red line open but nothing happens. I appreciate that there are issues going through university extranets but I it was working in 2.05; I still hope for Proquest as some date. Not critical, the workaround requires a lot more clicks but I export the relevant citation and it exports to Zotero neatly.
