    same problem also for some other searches

    [JavaScript Error: "translator called select items with no items" {file: "file:///home/sebastian/.mozilla/firefox/wkxw8okh.default/zotero/translators/Google%20Scholar.js" line: 0}]
    is the error message
  • dstillman
    Without having looked into this, it's possible those PDF links (are those new/different?) are throwing off the translator. The translator will need to be fixed. On the bright side, the translator can probably be adjusted to automatically save PDFs for those sources.
  • adamsmith
    oh right - I hadn't noticed - yes, similar links have existed before, but the way these works and where they are seems to be new.

    Have the same problem. Translator is not working when I'm trying to import citations from Google Scholar. Yesterday it worked OK, but not today. I saw the same error message as "JavaScript Error: "translator called select items with no items" when I checked out the "report errors."

    For one, the XPath to get the item titles should be changed from
    var titles = doc.evaluate('//h3[@class="r"]', doc, nsResolver, XPathResult.ANY_TYPE, null);to
    var titles = doc.evaluate('//div[@class="gs_r"]/h3', doc, nsResolver, XPathResult.ANY_TYPE, null);
    There is an additional problem though: loading the item URL with doGet will give an Google error page instead of the BibTeX file (manually loading the URL in the browser works fine): "Your client does not have permission to get URL /scholar.bib?q=info:nnj44SdvIHgJ:scholar.google.com/&output=citation&hl=en&as_sdt=2000&ct=citation&cd=0 from this server."

    Rintze: Do you have the third-party cookie pref off in Firefox 3.5?
  • dstillman
    I've pushed the fix. (Clients will update automatically within 24 hours or can be updated via Update Now from the General pane of the Zotero prefs.) Thanks, Rintze.

    I had. Checking the preference fixed the problem.

    Did you commit the fix? It doesn't show up in Trac.

    Thank you, I'm all set.
