Upgrade StorageEBSCO host translators not working
This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Before commenting here, you should strongly consider starting a new discussion instead. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
I have deleted all the proxies schemes and tested the same ANs again. There has been no change in the results:
- if there is a pdf, it is downloaded properly as "EBSCO Full Text",
- even if there is no pdf, an attachment is still downloaded as "EBSCO Full Text", which shows "Sorry, we are unable to retrieve the document you requested." message when having been clicked on,
- if there is English set as primary language in EBSCOhost settings, no snapshot is downloaded as "EBSCO Record", only a link, which is usable when having been manually tweaked by adding the proxy name (and the "&scope=site" suffix in case one wants to have clickable record entries - such as the publication name, author, and so on - in the opened page)
- if there is Czech set as primary language in EBSCOhost settings, again, no snapshot is downloaded as "EBSCO Record", only a link, which is, in addition, unusable as having been describe above (or, in case the "&scope=site" suffix is added, there is a basic search page opened with "AN 4370815⟨=cs" filled in the search box, along with "No results were found." message below - which is logical, as the syntax of the query is not correct, at least according to what I have managed to learn so far).

I sent an error report - the text was
[JavaScript Error: "TypeError: doc.evaluate("//input[@id ='pLink']/@value", doc, nsResolver, XPathResult.ANY_TYPE, null).iterateNext() is null" {file: "file:///Users/ed/Library/Application%20Support/Firefox/Profiles/qpeut6uu.default/zotero/translators/EBSCOhost.js" line: 0}]
thanks!

I searched for 'nationalism nation state' - the first link was to a journal article entitled 'Civic-secular and ethnic nationalisms as bases of the nation-state: multiculturalism at the crossroads?'.
If I click on it and then try to click on the save to zotero item in the left next to the URL I get the error in the red box.
I hope that's what you wanted!
Ed.
(3) is intentional-- I'm adding a permanent link, and it shouldn't contain the proxy information, since it's there to give you an easy way to access the document from any computer, anywhere. If your proxy settings in Zotero were set up correctly, then Zotero would automatically proxy the request for even a URL in this form. Once we figure out the EBSCO and ProQuest issues, we'll see about getting your proxy set up (I seem to remember trying to set up the Charles University proxy when I was living na Kajetánce-- it should be possible). I'll add
scope=siteto the link if it gives a nicer page.As for (4), it sounds like the URL info is a little different for Czech users. I'll switch EBSCO to Czech and see what I can figure out.
If you still have trouble, post again with a new error report.
Using the same search above, and with the new translator from github, I get a blank red box, no note of failure, nothing saved to zotero and there's no error in the log.
couldn't find an entry in the report errors log, but I turned logging on in preferences, and got some stuff that might help - I can't post it here as it's too long... but reading above I worked out that I need to give you D1289122811 as the debug ID :)
Automatic PDF download! Woohoo!
However, I'm still having issues with double dates... It's improved to quasi-double dates. Things like "Ap," "Sum," "O" etc. appear before the date. The year is no longer double.
Also, clicking the envelope for multiple items produces and error: Report ID: 694785361. (I didn't see this address above, but I might have missed it)
All in all, a massive improvement! Kudos to all involved!
arggem: Can you just post the error text (from Report Errors) here on the forum? It'll be faster than waiting for Dan to retrieve it from the logs. As for the dates, can you post the correct dates and what you're getting, and preferably the accession number as well (should be something like AN 4370815 -- in the URL or in the citation info on the page)? This should be doable, although it looks like some of the dates are seasons (Sum[mer]).
And I'm glad to hear that this is working for you. It's actually changed my EBSCO experience enough that I've starting using the database myself-- I used to avoid it, mainly because I hate downloading PDFs manually.
I see that Dan has posted the error.
Here are the date data:
Getting Correct Accension Number
Wint December 01, 1979 Wint 1979 ATLA0000769913
Ap April 01, 1997 Ap 1997 ATLA0001005225
Spr March 01, 1979 Spr 1979 ATLA0000773551
Mr March 01, 1979 Mr 1979 ATLA0000771210
Sum June 01, 1979 Sum 1979 ATLA0000773445
Let me know if you need anything else!
Thanks!
Sorry, couldn't get the table to line up right. But it should be readable)
The dates are what I suspected -- I'll try to fall back on the dates like "Sum 1979" instead of the apparently more accurate "June 1, 1979", since we can be pretty confident that the latter is just EBSCO's way of recording the season, and not a precise date of publication. More to come on the date issue.
On multiple items, it seems to save only the PDF associated with the first item in the list, regardless if it is selected for download or not. That same PDF is downloaded and attached to all items selected.
ohhh, soooo close!!!
Try installing again:
Please go to http://github.com/ajlyon/translators/raw/master/EBSCOhost.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.
Report an Error under preferences gives:
[JavaScript Error: "[Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x804b000a (NS_ERROR_MALFORMED_URI) [nsIIOService.newURI]" nsresult: "0x804b000a (NS_ERROR_MALFORMED_URI)" location: "JS frame :: chrome://zotero/content/xpcom/proxy.js :: <TOP_LEVEL> :: line 316" data: no]" {file: "file:///Users/ed/Library/Application%20Support/Firefox/Profiles/qpeut6uu.default/zotero/translators/EBSCOhost.js" line: 0}]
which looks relevant. Should I post the log too?
thanks for your efforts by the way - it is really appreciated.

Please go to http://github.com/ajlyon/translators/raw/master/EBSCOhost.js and save the file to the translators directory of your Zotero data directory (http://www.zotero.org/support/zotero_data).
Here is the error message.
[JavaScript Error: "TypeError: an is null" {file: "file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/User Name/Application%20Data/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/dqtrm6on.default/zotero/translators/EBSCOhost.js" line: 0}]
Also, saving individual items is now failing silently.
I can post the whole debugging log, but I noticed that the year is coded:
Y1 - 1975/10/01/O 1975
Y1 - 1979/06/01/Sum 1979
Do you need anything else?
Thanks for your help on this!!!!
Multiple items again retrieves meta data correctly (including dates)
However, again, it only downloads the first PDF in the list, regardless of it being selected or not. It downloads the same file for all the items.
I've uninstalled zotero and firefox and deleted profile / support data from library.
I'm therefore working from a fresh install of both.
I've also downloaded the latest version of the translator as above.
Still getting a failure message - report errors gives me
[JavaScript Error: "[Exception...

Can you post the URL that currently is triggering it, from the debug output? As I said, I'm afraid this is being caused by something deeper-- it shouldn't generally be possible for what I'm doing to cause errors like this. The error, however, is probably not in your Zotero install, but might be a bug or undocumented limitation in Zotero itself. I'm hoping Simon or Dan will drop by and take a look.

This version also strips out the fragment identifier (#) from all of its URLs, so it might fix your problem as well, Ed. If not, I'm going to punt on the proxy issue and have one of the other devs look at it.
By the way, it's great that you have worked so hard to help :)
