NASA ADS translator not working

kagantx · March 22, 2011

I've been using Zotero for awhile, and the NASA ADS translator is not working anymore. I tried to use Zotero (the newest version) on the URL:
http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2010MNRAS.403..483F
and got a "Could not save item" error. Zotero is definitely trying to use the "NASA ADS" translator to get the information.

Error ID: 1581489242

Thanks,
Daniel Kagan

Please go to http://github.com/ajlyon/zotero-bits/raw/master/NASA ADS.js and save the file to the translators directory of your Zotero data directory (http://www.zotero.org/support/zotero_data).

It should start working again. If this works for you, please post here so that I can submit this change to be pushed to all users.

Thanks! The file you gave me seems to work for single items, but I no longer see the multi-citation folder when I do an ADS search. That's not too much of a problem, but I thought I should mention it.

Anyway, thanks for the fix and for replying to me so promptly.

Can you provide such a URL? It seems to work for me.

Here it is:

I still get the folder icon at that URL.
