OpenOffice plugin for Zotero 2.0 v. 3.0a8 not working

jhmorneau
Hi,

I'm using Zotero at work for something like two years and I'm facing a new issue with OpenOffice plugin. For an unknown reason, it does not work anymore (Zotero icons do not show) whereas Word plugin still works allright.

My specs are :
- OS : XP Pro 2002 with Service Pack 3
- Firefox 3.5.7 (we cannot install the last version due to an incompability issue with the European Pharmacopeia online)
- Zotero v. 2.0.8
- OpenOffice : 3.1.1

I tried to reinstall Zotero / the OpenOffice plugin, to no avail. Eventually I tried the options in the "Integration preferences" ("Detect OpenOffice.org paths" & "Reinstall OpenOffic.org components") but it did not do the trick.


What I noticed though is I can't open Writer's "Extension manager" (Tool menu).
Is this an OpenOffice related issue ?

Thanks for your help,

Best regards,

JH Morneau

    Well, that would certainly be an OO issue. Look up how to clear your OO extension directory and fix that first, and then reinstall the Zotero OO plugin from Firefox.

    Thanl you for your quick answer.
    Could you please tell me how to clear OO extension directory ?
    I searched the web but did not find how to do that.

    It's something like C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\OpenOffice.org\3\user\uno_packages, but I don't know for sure. Don't actually delete anything—just try moving things ('uno_packages', the whole Application Data\OpenOffice.org directory...) out of the way and restarting OO until it's fixed.
