trouble to add item to Zotero from Proquest databases

bibluc · October 7, 2020

Hello, we have problem here with all Proquest databases:
ex:
https://search-proquest-com.proxy.bibliotheques.uqam.ca/ibss/docview/223684877/BB20519F8C46413FPQ/11?accountid=14719

debug ID: D314943703

bibluc · October 7, 2020

Connector debug ID: D1885025295

dstillman · October 7, 2020

We need a Debug ID from the connector for loading the page.

bibluc · October 7, 2020

Hi, I took this one from the connector: D1885025295
If not done properly by myself, I can try to do it again

bibluc · October 7, 2020

I try a new one:
Zotero Connector
Your debug output has been submitted.

The Debug ID is D39833244.

bibluc · October 7, 2020

it was on https://search-proquest-com.proxy.bibliotheques.uqam.ca/ibss/docview/2442854916/5FBCE20A544548CCPQ/10?accountid=14719

The debug output suggests that you don't have a proxy set up that covers this site, so Zotero doesn't recognize this as ProQuest. Check the Proxies tab of the Zotero Connector preferences to see what's listed there.

Generally, when you log into a site through your university proxy, Zotero should prompt you to remember the proxy.

bibluc · October 7, 2020

I removed the proxy from the list and let Zotero automatically detect the proxy settings again.
But it's still the same, it`s working with databases like HeinOnline and others but not with Proquest

dstillman · October 7, 2020

If you click on the proxy in the Configured Proxies section, do you see search.proquest.com listed under Hostnames in the bottom section?

bibluc · October 7, 2020

yes, I see it

dstillman · October 7, 2020

Can you provide another Debug ID for loading the page?

bibluc · October 7, 2020

Zotero Connector
Your debug output has been submitted.

The Debug ID is D326583624.

dstillman · October 7, 2020

That's not for loading the page.

bibluc · October 7, 2020

Should I make a Debug ID in Zotero, not in Zotero connector ?
Or a debug ID on Zotero connector ?

bibluc · October 7, 2020

I try another one: Zotero Connector
Your debug output has been submitted.

The Debug ID is D481975952.

bibluc · October 7, 2020

What do you mean with : Debug ID for loading the page.

Is it to make a Debug after adding an item to Zotero or simply after pressing F5 ?

dstillman · October 7, 2020

Loading the page means loading the page…I'm not really sure how else to describe it. Not saving. You provided this above. We just need the same thing again.

But also, what are your proxy settings in the preferences?

bibluc · October 8, 2020

The ones which are Checked:

Enable proxy redirection
Show a notification when redirecting through a proxy
Automatically detect new proxies

dstillman · October 8, 2020

You're just not providing a Debug ID for loading the page. We can't help you if you don't provide that. We don't need a Debug ID for saving, or switching to the tab, or anything else. We need it for actually loading the webpage, so that we can see how Zotero is detecting the page.

dstillman · October 8, 2020

Is it to make a Debug after adding an item to Zotero or simply after pressing F5 ?

Neither. You need to start debug output logging, then immediately load/reload the page and get the webpage icon, and then submit the output.

Hello, bibluc2 is one of my coworker. If you allow me to put my two cents, I tried to solve the problem, but didn't succeeded. When I perform a search in ERIC from ProQuest, Zotero correctly identify the page as a list of results, but when I try to download some of them, I get an error message: "Une erreur s'est produite lors de l'enregistrement de ce document". The translator says: "Save to Zotero (ProQuest)". The URL of this page is: https://search-proquest-com.proxy.bibliotheques.uqam.ca/eric/results/830764F781184D1DPQ/1?accountid=14719
If I open the page of one of the results that is a journal article, Zotero connector download it as a Web page. The translator says "Save to Zotero (Embedded data)". The URL is https://search-proquest-com.proxy.bibliotheques.uqam.ca/eric/docview/62086655/830764F781184D1DPQ/2?accountid=14719
I generated a report following these actions: Report ID: 517208628
Hope this will help, many thanks.

To complete the previous post, this may also help: The Debug ID is D1569845245.

adamsmith · October 8, 2020

(dstillman will need to look at the debug, but just to note that this is working fine for me on proxied ProQuest ERIC, so it's not a general issue

dstillman · October 8, 2020

@jjrondeau: Thanks. It looks like the proxy detection is actually working properly for both of you, but Zotero still isn't detecting anything to save on ProQuest.

Can you go back to the ProQuest article page (not search results), open the JavaScript Console (View → Developer → JavaScript Console in Chrome), and paste in the following code, and let us know if it says 'true' or 'false'?

!!document.querySelector('div.citationTextWrapper')

bibluc · October 8, 2020

In my case, it's true

Access to internal resource at 'https://login.proxy.bibliotheques.uqam.ca/login?qurl=https://search.proquest.com/manifest.json' (redirected from 'https://search-proquest-com.proxy.bibliotheques.uqam.ca/manifest.json') from origin 'https://search-proquest-com.proxy.bibliotheques.uqam.ca' has been blocked by CORS policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource.

!!document.querySelector('div.citationTextWrapper')
true

jjrondeau · October 9, 2020

"True" for me too with same CORS policy blockade message.

dstillman · October 9, 2020

Are you running any other Firefox extensions? If so, try disabling them. This really shouldn't be detected as a webpage if that returns true.

Zotero is properly recognizing that this is a ProQuest URL, but it's not detecting the page based on its content. I'm not seeing any reason that should be happening if //div[@class="citationTextWrapper"] exists.

adamsmith · October 9, 2020

This is just an idea, but are you using the French language version of ProQuest? This should absolutely work, but could you try switching to English and see if that works?

jjrondeau · October 9, 2020

Your idea is right! It works perfectly well with the English version. Thank you so much!
