zbMATH does not record the url nor the Zbl identifier #3039

Open nonobsense opened 1 year ago

The translator for zbMATH pages needs some serious update. You can quickly check with scaffold that its "scrape" function does not find the Zbl identifier (id variable is empty), even though it uses BibTex translator which knows it ! As a result, no url nor identifier is recorded in Zotero. I'm not conversant enough with java to even suggest corrections, but it should be simple for someone who is. Thanks in advance. PS: btw, I added a modified translator in my Zotero data/translators directory, restarted, updated translators multiple times, to no avail...

Just to confirm: this affects the search results, but not individual articles, right?

The zbMATH translator seems to be using outdated XPath/selectors to identify the items in the search results. I'm working on a fix.

Thanks for the info.

Thank yo‌u too. Indeed search results give only "null". But on individual articles (review of  an article), no field records the Zbl identifier of the article. For example http://zbmath.org/1496.14001‌ the "url" field remains empty as well as the "extra" field. The "library catalog" field contains "zbMATH" but "call number"field (which I assume should contain the Zbl identifier 1496.14001‌) comes out empty. Thanks again.

Sorry for bothering again. On my side the zbMATH.js translator fails (since not very long) to even detect zbMath document pages. eg : https://zbmath.org/1455.14018 only "DOI" and "Web Page" are proposed by the connector. They (zbMath) recently made changes, at least on some pages, maybe that perturbs the translator ? Thanks
