Science site translator broken?

roberto.derenzi
I presently cannot save an item from Science

http://www.sciencemag.org/content/314/580/1914.abstract?sid=5f455cb0-8062-4d68-a20c-b48f3f747d85

If I press the Zotero icon in the URL line I get the message Cannot save ... see known issues.

I do not know it OS and browser matters: it's Ubuntu 10.4 and Firefox 3.6.16.

Thanks for any hint.

    same problem here, on Windows 7, Firefox 3.6.13.
    the translator is Highwire 2.0, which worked ok on some other sites. Science did some facelifting recently, maybe that's why?
  • theed
    forgot to say: i'm using the beta version 2.1b2.

    I just pushed an updated version of the Highwire 2.0 translator, so be sure to check with that. Your copy of Zotero should auto-update within 24 hours, or you can update manually by clicking Update Now in the General pane of the Zotero prefs.

    mmh, doesn't seem to do anything for me.. after pushing the button, it took a while until it said "up to date", but can I check anywhere what the latest translator version is?
  • theed
    with "doesnt do anything" I mean science still doesn't import.
  • dstillman
    That URL above is a 404 for me, but another page on Science works for me.

    It should have said "Updated", not "Up to date", unless you had just restarted Firefox or happened to have just updated by itself. You can check the translator version by opening "Highwire 2.0.js" in your Zotero data directory's 'translators' directory in a text editor.

    ok. The updating went ok (file was new), and after restarting Firefox, I can now import Science again. There was a bit of trouble with getting the pdf (worked for one data set at once, but only after some attempts for another), but that might also have to do with the science web site.
    Many thanks, your help is greatly appreciated!

    Dear Dan, thanks so much, it works for me too.
    Meanwhile however I got another similar issue on the following IOP page

    Thanks for your help

    Still a 'TypeError: match is null" error with the Highwire 2.0 translator.
    Translator version: lastUpdated 2011-01-05 17:05:00
    Page: http://www.sciencemag.org/content/262/5131/218
    BTW, DOI (add item by identifier) does not work on that page either.

    Works for me in Zotero 2.1b2. Haven't tested in 2.0.9.
  • dstillman
    Works for me in 2.0.9.

    It seems that it was a transient problem (Web server? Internet connection?), now it works again with http://www.sciencemag.org/content/262/5131/218 (using 2.0.9). Sorry for the inconvenience!
