That is very satisfactory from my point of view. Thanks for adding that.
-
Just reporting what I'm seeing/hearing. As you say, the support item is not hard to find, either from Google or from this forum thread. Evidence suggests that it is hard to follow by one underfunded, overstretched IT help desk, whether this fact i…

I know it's an old thread, but the problem itself continues to crop up, and is very frustrating to people. The student I spoke with yesterday said "nothing on the Zotero page worked," and she also says, "the IT department [at our large university] …

Before doing anything complicated, try this: 1) Click anywhere in your Firefox browser window. 2) Hold down the Ctrl key and type a forward slash (the one under the question mark on your keyboard) I suspect that Zotero may be "disappearing" on peo…

But even for Windows 7, the zotero button ought to appear in the lower right, assuming one has the add-ins toolbar showing so I guess we're still talking corrupt extension files, right?
-
yep, Windows 7.
-
Also, I checked all the incompatible add-ins and I don't have any of them. I guess that leaves just the corrupt extension files possibility. Hey jahkt2 - try following the steps here: http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/unable-install-add-ons-or…
-
I have no "tools" menu that I can see in Firefox (saw those instructions you linked in my own search for a solution and this stopped me there)
-
And: both of us downloaded Zotero from Zotero.org, not from Mozilla.
-
Big thanks, Adam Smith! Further comments on this thread are welcome, too, of course.
-
I've referred her in that direction - to https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/ask. Did this sort of problem also occur with prior versions of Zotero? Did people end up having incompatible add-ins, or was something just corrupted in the profile?
-
Thanks, Dan; I'll do that. It is also etty odd that the EndNote exporter ARTSTOR has does not work to send the RIS file right to Zotero, even though my preferences are set for Zotero to grab all RIS-format files.
-
Another plug for ARTSTOR. I tried learning how to write translators, but I got stuck, much as I'd love to do it. I will contact ARTSTOR, though. Is there broilerplate language available for making this request?
-
I have disabled every single extension and every single plugin except Zotero and its Word add-in. The same thing happens: icon present, responds with empty box and no error message, but also no citation download, when clicked. Also, the "Report Er…

The icon by the worldcat item says: "Save to Zotero( Untitled)" The icon by the MERLIN item says the same thing.
-
In my video that I made for the undergrads (we're all snowed in here so can't do it live), I got around the book thing by doing a "magic wand" ISBN lookup, which, interestingly, did work. But the worldcat and III problem is still somewhat disturbin…

Both on an iMac, if that makes any difference.

Firefox/3.6.13, Zotero 2.0.9

That double dates issue that arggem mentions above is also happening to me, though not in Spanish. Stewart, J. (2009). Real to Reel: Filmic Constructions of Hip Hop Cultures and Hip Hop Identities. Interdisciplinary Humanities, 26(2), 49-67. For i…

I would like to see a translator for JournalTOCs http://www.journaltocs.hw.ac.uk This is a huge, multidisciplinary (and, amazingly, free) current-awareness resource, the content of which changes frequently.
-
It is great to have working icons for Academic Search Premier again, and even better news that Ebsco is expressing interest in working with Zotero long term, to avoid future issues like this in the wake of future interface changes. This researcher-…
-
Dan, thanks for the clarification. That at least makes things more predictable. I do continue to hope Zotero is able to get icons going again for Ebsco databases, especially Academic Search Premier, since one of Zotero's biggest strengths has al…
-
It just says "Save to Zotero (DOI)" and in the (perfectly formed) Zotero record, I see that the Library Catalog is listed as CrossRef, in case that matters. But...uh oh...I tried testing a different record in Ebsco, and that article did NOT produce…
-
YAAAY, Zotero! Ebsco's working, with icons! Just in time for my instruction session tonight - must be part of the 2.0.8 upgrade. Anyone "inside" know if Ebsco did finally do its bit of tweaking to make this work, or whether Zotero had to do all…
-
I also hope this Ebsco problem can be solved. I'm not sure I'd count on Ebsco to be helpful, or wait for them to provide the needed fixes. Ebsco is fairly ruthless in its dealings with journals; it has recently become notorious for exclusive deals…
-
So basically I can look at what I have already got in my library from my iPod Touch, but I can't browse the web and add items to the library, since I can't get Firefox on my iPod Touch. Hope Zotero develops a mobile app soon; Mendeley has already.
-
I just tried several times to point my browser (on my regular computer) to beta.zotero.org and kept getting "problem loading page." Does this mean the proof-of-concept mobile interface is not available to look at, at all, or is it now somewhere els…
-
I am also looking forward to a fix for this problem, which I am also having with Lexis-Nexis Academic. I'm trying to update my EndNote vs. Zotero comparison chart, and while I'd previously been able to state that EndNote does not work with Lexis-Ne…
-
I hope you'll do what it takes. I just finished teaching a class full of future librarians (and potential Zotero promoters!) who were not happy to see that their main research database was unable to work with Zotero. At least, reading this threa…

Never mind - I found out how here http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+Profiles I'll try that. Being entirely new to all this, I want to stick by the tutorial-creating instructions in the tutorial I've started, so I do want to use Scaffol…
