I, too, have been having trouble with JStor. I've been using Zotero for over 6 months, and I have successfully imported jstor records in the past, but am no longer able to do so. My attempts bring up the "check for known translator issues" error message.
Has anything happened with the scraper?
Hi...I seem to be having this same problem...I can import from other sites, but get a "check for known translator issues" error message. I just got Zotero, so I've never been able to download via Jstor, but I can from other places. Any ideas are greatly appreciated.
Hi, I am also having a problem finding the "translator" or an icon in URL bar to capture the information from JSTOR. Is this specific to the libraries that we use through which we get to JSTOR or is this the general problem with Zotero translator? Having this resolved will really help simplify my life. Please help...
Hi,
I too cannot get Zotero to work with Jstor. The icon does not show up when I use these URLs:

Zotero currently only supports one version of EZproxy proxy servers. If your university or institution uses another proxy server or an incompatible version of EZproxy, you won't be able to use Zotero's auto-saving functionality yet. Unfortunately, the URLs provided above are not EZproxy URLs.
There are a couple open tickets to add support for other proxy servers and EZproxy versions, and we hope to address those soon.
I'm currently seeing a weirder problem with JSTOR. I do get the icon in the address bar when viewing the main page for the article, and clicking on the icon imports the citation with no problems. The weird part is that doing so seems to *also* add the citation to my queue on the JSTOR site itself, as if I had clicked on "SAVE CITATION" in the page.
Not having groveled through the code, I don't quite see how this could happen. But I've tested it and that is, in fact, what seems to be happening...
I think my URL is one of the ezproxy ones that should work with JSTOR, and it definitely used to, but recently I haven't been getting that handy little icon to import source from JSTOR. This is one of the URLs I just tried it with:
http://www.jstor.org.ezproxy.lib.utexas.edu/view/0010096x/ap020213/02a00040/2?searchUrl=http%3a//www.jstor.org/search/BasicResults%3fhp%3d25%26si%3d1%26gw%3djtx%26jtxsi%3d1%26jcpsi%3d1%26artsi%3d1%26Query%3dhorner%252C%2bbruce%2breconceiving%2bcomposition%26wc%3don&frame=noframe¤tResult=0010096x%2bap020213%2b02a00040%2b0%2cDFFFDDFF03&userID=80533f15@utexas.edu/01c0a848732255118818b59ee&dpi=3&config=jstor
Something really strange is happening to me with JSTOR. After a search I get the Zotero folder icon *only* on the first page, the second and subsequent ones do not let me save any items. Example:
First JSTOR translator doesn't recognize this site. So I modified the 'target', and now it recognizes the pages correctly.
Then I had to modify a lign in the code (via Scaffold) at the RIS translation stage : I added 'http/www.jstor.org/' in the Zotero.Utilities.HTTP.doPost, which gives :
Zotero.Utilities.HTTP.doPost(host+"http/www.jstor.org/action/downloadCitation?format=refman&direct=true",downloadString, function(text) {
Indeed, without that, I get a 404 error.
After that, all seems to work smoothly - but actually, nothing get saved in my library ! (it's not a 3rd-part cookie problem, as I run Zotero 1.0.7)
Anyone has an idea of what's the matter (and ideally how to fix it!) ?
I have the same issue as gombin (Zotero won't recognize the page as translatable when it's displaying via the link my university uses, but if I get the stable link, no problem). I think Zotero should really address this.
Following is the patch that fixes the problem reported by margot:
Problem:

In case the search return several pages only the first one is recognized by Zotero as a valid target.

I love Zotero, except for this. Help?

Thanks for your feedback.
I'm using Zotero 1.0.7 (and love it !), with FF3.
My access to JSTOR is provided by an institution, so that the URLs are something like :
https://acces-distant.sciences-po.fr/http/www.jstor.org/...
First JSTOR translator doesn't recognize this site. So I modified the 'target', and now it recognizes the pages correctly.
Then I had to modify a lign in the code (via Scaffold) at the RIS translation stage : I added 'http/www.jstor.org/' in the Zotero.Utilities.HTTP.doPost, which gives :
Zotero.Utilities.HTTP.doPost(host+"http/www.jstor.org/action/downloadCitation?format=refman&direct=true",downloadString, function(text) {
Indeed, without that, I get a 404 error.
After that, all seems to work smoothly - but actually, nothing get saved in my library ! (it's not a 3rd-part cookie problem, as I run Zotero 1.0.7)
Anyone has an idea of what's the matter (and ideally how to fix it!) ?
Thanks !
Also, this is solved in Zotero 1.5b, so you might consider switching.
