Site translator for WSJ

fbhare
Mousing over the icon, it acknowledges that it is a WSJ article, but it still won't save it to Zotero when I click the icon.

    If I understand your response correctly, you are telling me that this is a known error that is being addressed. It doesn't look like it gives me instructions on how to surmount it. At any rate, thank you for the response. I will stand by for a fix.

    I'm just confirming this is not an issue limited to you and adding the information to complete the bug report. i actually don't think this was known before, so thanks for reporting.

    I'm getting an error when I try to use the WSJ translator, but I can enter the article manually. I'm using Firefox 3.0.15.

    I've just fixed the bug, you may wish to fix it manually in your "Wall Street Journal.js" translator while waiting for the official file to be updated and pushed out in a future release.

    About 60% of the way down the translator replace this:

    for each (var aut in authors) {
    item.creators.push(Zotero.Utilities.cleanAuthor(aut, "author"));
    }


    with


    for each (var aut in authors) {
    if (aut.length > 0) {
    item.creators.push(Zotero.Utilities.cleanAuthor(aut, "author"));
    }
    }
