Yes, it's very consistent even when auto-syncing is turned off. I'll provide debug output.

For the first time, I'm now using an endnote citation style, so I'm dealing with this difficulty of creating complex endnotes for the first time. With parenthetical citations I can just have a footnote that says Jones (2002: 32) agrees with this po…

@ Dirius: If I recall correctly, this is what I did: remove both extensions from Firefox close Firefox rm -r .openoffice.org/3/user/uno_packages/cache/ rm -r .mozilla/firefox/myprofile.default/extensions/zotero* open firefox and re…

Just to follow up again, after upgrading to 2.1b2 and finding that I kept getting errors about updating the document, I reverted back to 2.0 and uninstalled and installed and purged the OO.o python-uno directory several times, and it appears that Zo…

I'm having this problem again with a document I created after installing 2.1b2, so it now looks like the problem is not merely with upgrading from 2.0 to 2.1 but also with adding references to something created in 2.1. Right now, adding references t…

Ok I've copied and pasted the contents of the file into a new document. Not exactly a seamless process but the new document now works so I guess this is the workaround for now. Joe

As a follow-up, I have since installed the 2.1 beta versions of both the Zotero and OpenOffice.org plugins and I am still getting the same error message. I hope I can figure out how to get Zotero working again soon so I can finish off my article. …

Hello, I just switched to a new netbook and am using the same software setup as on my previous laptop (Ubuntu 10.10, Sun Java 6), on which Zotero worked perfectly. But suddenly I'm getting the error: Firefox could not load the component re…

Great, thanks everyone for your suggestions. My only suggestion is this: Instead of this: sudo ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.19/jre/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ This: sudo ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/…

Excellent. Thanks a million. It works great now.

Sorry, I was away for a while and didn't follow up on this. I was using bookmarks when I had this problem but more recently I've been using reference marks (this is the same as fields, right?) and have not had this problem. I will update if I f…
-
Sorry to say that's not the case here. I always use the same options in every document. When I pasted multiple paragraphs at a time, the references came out as plain text, but when I just pasted the reference, not whole paragraphs, it appears to cop…
-
I just tried copying and pasting from an old draft into a new draft in openoffice.org, and the citations work in the original but act like plain text in the new one. So at least for me pasting into another document doesn't work. It's really inconven…

Great news. File this with SCO and the other anti-open vultures.

Report ID: 1893945001 Here's what the references in content.xml look like, plus the bibliography that gets generated (pretty-printed for clarity and without surrounding text). The only reference that Zotero allows me to edit is the last one, Krasne…
-
I see, thanks for clarifying. In that case that's not what broke these references, since I'm only using odt. So I still have no idea why this document is full of references I can't edit.
-
Dan, thanks for your suggestion. In the document I'm working on now, it's an .odt file, and the references weren't exactly converted to plain text--if I unzip and look at content.xml, the old, non-functioning references look identical to the new, wo…

I'm having a similar problem with the OO plugin since I upgraded to 2.0a4 from 2.0a3. Some documents seem to work fine but in others the citations are no longer recognized. I'm not seeing a consistent pattern--sometimes it treats the citations like …
-
I see, that makes sense. Thanks for the prompt response. Is there a plan to make the error message say something to that effect so you don't get a million others submitting the same bug? By the way I just copied and pasted a citation and it wo…
-
I don't know if this is related, but I can't insert citations into footnotes at all with the 1.5 openoffice.org plugin (in OpenOffice 2.4). If I try, I get the error message "Zotero fields cannot be inserted here." If I cut and paste a citation from…
-
Sorry for the barrage of posts, but I just upgraded to 1.5 and still can't copy and paste citations. There is still a different result depending on whether I paste the citation only or the citation with the characters before and after it. …
-
Is it generally recommended to upgrade to 1.5 in spite of all the warnings about how dangerous it is? I'm not sure whether it's better to have something broken/ and not dangerous or something under active development that is dangerous. I guess I'l…
-
I accidentally wrote "cut and paste" in my above post when I should have said "copy and paste." Apparently cutting and pasting isn't a problem, since it preserves exactly the same citation. The problem happens when I copy, creating a new citation.
-
Ok, I'm trying my luck again with the openoffice.org extension for another paper. I'm getting the same error I reported above but for a different reason. Now whenever I copy and paste a citation, one of two things happens: - if I copy and paste wi…
-
Update: I did the standard hack (unzip, change the Firefox compatibility to 3.0.*) and so far so good. I assume this is fine, but if anyone has suggestions as to whether there are advantages to using a more recent version please let me know. Thank…

You're right, I've figured out the problem. The new gnome has an option to show the mouse pointer when CTRL is pressed, and the mouse pointer ends up stealing the focus away from the text fields in this case. I turned off that feature and everythi…
-
Ok, I just upgraded to the svn branch after I realized that it is compatible with FF 3.0, and I'm now able to index the pdfs that seemed to throw off the trunk. So far everything is working fine. I'll keep you posted if I have this problem again.

I'm getting the same error (An error has occurred. Please restart Firefox. You can report this error . . ."). I'm using the "trunk" with Firefox 3. I was using this version of Zotero without any major problems until a few minutes ago when I adde…

Is anyone else still having this no connection problem with OOo? I have tried Zotero/OOo plugin on multiple computers and on each one it works for a short while then suddenly stops working irrevocably. I've installed/uninstalled/tweaked/etc. dozen…
