Zotero Connector on PubMed Displaying Irrelevant Articles in Item Selector

Hisaya Kato · June 12, 2024

I would like to report an error with the Zotero Connector. When using the Zotero Connector on PubMed, the Zotero Item Selector always displays two unrelated articles as candidates: "COVID-19 and Headache: A Primer for Trainees" and "Psoriasis in Children and Adolescents: Diagnosis, Management and Comorbidities". This issue persists regardless of the actual article I am trying to save. Please advise on how to resolve this issue.

ID is D148808898.

What do you see when you hover over the Save to Zotero icon? It should say "Save to Zotero (PubMed)" (and does for me on that page)

Hisaya Kato · June 12, 2024

It shows "Save to Zotero (DOI)."

Can you provide another Debug ID for reloading the page?

Also, what version of the Connector do you have (in the Extensions pane of Chrome)?

Hisaya Kato · June 12, 2024

Another Debug ID is D782077764.
The URL is https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38839969/

The Connector version is 5.0.128.

That still seems to be for saving, not for just reloading the page.

Hisaya Kato · June 12, 2024

I reloaded the page and created another Debug ID D686736366.

That still shows you saving. To be clear, "reloading" means clicking the Reload button in your browser, next to the Back/Forward and Home buttons. That's what we need debug output for. It doesn't mean clicking the Save to Zotero button.

Hisaya Kato · June 12, 2024

I just reloaded the page and created the ID D1125575366.

Can you disable any other browser extensions you're running, reload the page, and see if it still says "DOI" when you hover over the save button?

Hisaya Kato · June 12, 2024

"PubMed" was displayed. It seems there was a conflict with other extensions. Thank you.

dstillman · June 12, 2024

You should re-enable other extensions one by one, reloading the page after each one, until you identify which one was interfering.

Hisaya Kato · June 12, 2024

An unnecessary extension was the culprit. Thank you very much!

Can you tell us which, so that we know for helping others? You can email to support@zotero.org with a link to this thread if you don't want to say publicly.
