Please go to http://github.com/ajlyon/zotero-bits/raw/master/CrossRef.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 for the fast reply. It works, though the pdf is not automatically downloaded.

Yes-- you're seeing the DOI translator. There is no dedicated translator for Cambridge books, so Zotero falls back on the DOI, for which it looks up data in the CrossRef database. And that doesn't provide abstracts or full text.

Now JSTOR is broken. Since I'm pretty sure it was working before I saved that translator, I think that's the culprit.

Example URL? There's a risk that we broke some DOI imports, but JSTOR shouldn't normally be using the DOI translator at all.

Indeed, it still works, but not with the the article I wanted to save (Orwell and the Obvious):
http://www.jstor.org.ezproxy.webfeat.lib.ed.ac.uk/action/doBasicSearch?Query=orwell&gw=jtx&acc=on&prq=orwell&Search=Search&hp=25&wc=on

This is an unrelated issue, but I have a proposed fix.

Please go to http://github.com/ajlyon/zotero-bits/raw/master/JSTOR.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.

It works now! =)

It looks like Cambridge Online is broken again:

That Cambridge Online one works for me. It uses the DOI default translator, but I'm not seeing a problem. Is there error reproducible? Can you produce an error report?

Seems to be working now. Sorry about that.
