Inter Research import fails

dmk
I tried to import the following reference from an inter research journal into zotero and it failed:

http://www.int-res.com/abstracts/meps/v347/p127-138/

The error message (also in bug report #1351574521) was:

Error: TypeError: doc.evaluate("//div[@class=\"abs-footer\"]", doc, null, XPathResult.ANY_TYPE, null).iterateNext().textContent.match(/date:\s+(.*)P/) is null

    Here is another paper that fails to import:

    http://www.int-res.com/abstracts/meps/v393/p173-183/

    OK, trying a few more references, I found that none of the MEPS references appear to work. I haven't looked at the other Inter-Research journals, but it looks like they have a standard api that should work for all their journals.

    Rooting around in the translator, I made a couple of changes to fix importation of the date and the DOI of a reference and it now works fine for me. I would like to contribute this back to zotero, but I don't think I have svn permissions for the translators (I do have it for the csl files). Therefore, I have placed the modified translator on a website:

    http://www.ur097.ird.fr/team/dkaplan/personal/inter-research-science-center.js

    Note that I have changed the name of the file to make the link simple.

    Cheers,
