I'm using Word 2008 for Mac 10.6, Zotero 2.1.7, Firefox 4.0.1, and the "ACM SIGCHI Conference Proceedings" citation style (thanks adamsmith).

at http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/18296/acm-translator-bug/ than here. Ajlyon's fix overcomes the "Could not save item" error that this thread is about.

try replacing the ACM Digital Library.js with ACM.js - you can just move the old one outside the translator directory - restart FF and see if that helps.

With ajlyon's modified ACM.js, I still observe the same "Could not save item" issue with both of these sample item links.

I see the "Could not save item" issue with this item from the ACM Digital Library (a doctoral dissertation): http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1023242

But when we eventually get an event-place, we can map "location" to it (at least using special logic in the ACM‌ translator)?

BibTeXing does not have a 'location' field, and neither does JabRef. "BibTeX and bibliography styles" describes ACM's use of the two fields, but this is hardly canonical. No BibTeX style I have ins

As a second example, consider http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1772735

We can probably fix this for ACM if the problem is consistent across journals, but first it's worth considering whether this is a wider BibTeX issue that should be fixed at that level.

I am having a "Could Not Save Item" error at http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=558412 when clicking on the translator button in the address bar.

It is more intuitive to me that if I am looking at a page about a particular article e. g. in JSTOR, Wiley, ACM, PubMed, etc., and there is a translator for that page, clicking Create New Item from Cu

Such a heuristic wouldn't change the user experience, and it would always select only one item. It would make it more likely to select the "correct" citation for known cases, and the only down side is
