Error updating document (Openoffice integration 3.0a1, Zotero 2.0b7, Mac OS 10.5)
For some of my documents I get a following message when trying to insert a citation with the new Zotero:
---------
An error occurred communigating with Zotero:

On the other hand, no problem with new documents. May anybody help us ?

Once I broke the dynamic links, i was able to start adding new citations and generate a bibliography. but strangely it threw up the error again when i was dealing with a reference in a 2-column layout (i don't know whether this is related).
once i started again (minus the 2-column part of my document) i was able to get to the end this time - but having saved and closed the document, and reopened it - the references weren't recognised.
1. Restart Openoffice with the troubled file
2. Delete the Table of Contents
3. Try to add a zotero reference, at which point zotero will upgrade your document.
4. Now regenerate the Table of Contents.
Anyway, that worked for me and I hope it works for you.
For me too : I deleted my tables of contents (related to the whole document, to the chapters and to the appendices) and my lists of figures and tables, I've still the same error message.
Anyway, thank you for your post.
would be useful for the team perhaps if we could isolate this.
I just tried to "remove field codes" and actually after that I can add other citations.
After having closed then restarting my document, I can still add or change the entries.
Nevertheless, I have more than 200 references in my document. So, I cannot recognize each of them and change them after having removed the field codes.
Therefore, I need another solution.
Thank you for your post.
i feel your pain though re: number of refs. I had far fewer but it was still a pain to relink them all :(
hopefully we're narrowing this down bit by bit...
Thank you very much to Zotero Team ! ! !
however, i am still finding that when i save and close, then reopen my document, the dynamic links are lost again.
any help appreciated.
The zotero refs remain intact in the .odt file, so it's just the .doc files that are losing everything when close and reopened.
thanks,
scott
thanks a million.
can i set zotero to always treat .doc and .odt files in the appropriate ways, or could zotero do that automatically? or... are there good reasons for it not to do so?
cheers,
scott
An error occurred communicating with Zotero...
followed by some lengthy code starting with java.lang.Exception: invalid code prefix
Is there a way to change them to reference marks without going through and manually doing it?
WIndows XP; the latest OpenOffice; Firefox 3.5.3; I can send a screen shot of the error message
maybe i have misunderstood - but isn't it simply a case of clicking on the 'cog' icon on the zotero toolbar and choosing referencemarks instead of bookmarks?
good luck,
scott
Initially when I clicked on the Cog icon to change bookmarks to referencemarks, it threw the error immediately. But I could add a new reference, which comes up shaded like a field; none of my other ones are.
When I tried to refresh or add a table of contents though, I got the error (Refreshing would add: Zotero experienced an error updating your document), presumably because the old ones are book marks which worked before but no longer do, and even though the preferences are set to bookmarks, Zotero now automatically adds a new reference mark?
And now, after mucking with it a while, it seems to have switched itself in the preferences from Bookmarks to Reference Marks, but no longer recognizes any of my old citations at all. They are still there, but it is as if they are now just regular text. (When I hit refresh now it says "You must insert a citation before performing this operation"). I saved that version with a different name.
it seems that there is the same problem within the Zotero Word Integration. Could you also please to 3.0a2 ?
