Linking to Zotero items: pb with the id field #30

Open myildi opened 3 years ago

Hello, Thank you very much for developing this nice extension! I use the last version of Zotero with the last version of OSX. I meet a problem with BetterbibteX and Zotxt.

I use Hook for connecting different information together and it has now a module for linking with Zotero items, that is very useful for me (I am a researcher). This connection uses zotxt that I have already installed.

It reads the information about the selected item in Zotero through the following curl command: "curl -s -d selected=t\&format=json -G http://127.0.0.1:23119/zotxt/items" and then builds a zotero:// link using the id it reads from this record

When Better BibTeX is activated, I get as the id the citekey of the article, like zotero://select/library/items/harmsen2015 and the the zotero link cannot point to the specific article when I click it.

If I deactivate BBTX, the correct id (the same as the name of the subfolder in the Zotero storage folder) is obtained and the link points to the specific file: zotero://select/library/items/DCEXAPF4

BBTX developer suggested me to contact you: "I don't generate or modify this url, that's zotxt's work. Zotxt likely detects the presence of BBT and reacts to that, but I don't know how it reacts to BBT and whether it's configurable; you'll have to ask the Zotxt developer."

I have not been able to find any option for Zotxt. Do you think that we could solve this problem?

Thank you for your attention. Very cordially,

Murat

Hi, @myildi. I encountered the same issue here. When deactivating Better BibTeX for Zotero, the integration of Hook & Zotero works well. But I have to use Better BibTeX. This issue really annoys me. Have you any further solution for it? Thanks!

Hi Tom, I use now the script given in the Hook forums and it seems to work.

Which script do you use? Could you please provide a link? thanks.

Update: I just found Zutilo for Zotero provides an additional feature to Copy selected item links, which can be done via an assigned keyboard shortcut. It can be an alternative to Hook & Zotero integration when Better BibTeX for Zotero is activated.

Hi, Tom, Hook comes now with Zotero scripts (for v5 and v6 beta) and these seem to work in my case. I have Zotero v. 5.0.97-beta.55+3b993b2af
