Hi, we are really interested in using the Cloud plugin for Zotero. Is there a show case where we could explore how it works with Zotero? Best regards, Jonas

Hi Gregor,

We have installed your 'Cloud Plug in' on our development installation. Right now we cannot get it to work - we are only trying to start using Zotero.  Is there a documentation you can point us to? Is it ok to ask questions here in the Support forum?

We are really looking forward to explore its features, especially the Zotero app.

Best regards,

Jonas

P.S. We use Mahara 1.5.1

Yeah, you can ask questions here...

Are there any errors displayed?

Hi Gregor,

Thas is very kind of you. I had made some screen shots of the config views in both Mahara and Zotero, but I see it is not possible to upload them here.

1. When the block is displayed on a page, there is no info at all.

2. There is one Warning message in admin:

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Warning

  • Your PHP session.entropy_length setting is too small. Set it to at least 16 in your php.ini to ensure that generated session IDs are random and unpredictable enough.
  • No site-wide password salt has been set. Edit your config.php and set the "passwordsaltmain" parameter to a reasonable secret phrase.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Do not know if there is a connection with this issue.
 
Any hints on where to to start the debugging?
Kind regards,
Jonas

One more question on my mind? What must the Library settings be set to in Zotero? Group Type:  Library reading:  Library editing:  File editing: ?

Cheers,

Jonas

If you are referring to generating key in Zotero - when I was creating my key for testing I just leaved default options and everything worked for me.

Hi Gregor,

Thanks so very much for your fantastic support when testing and installing your plug-in!

I wonder if it wyoud be possible to configure the Plug-in to allow for

  • Notes access
  • Attachments access
  • Editing
  • On the Zotero side, it seems like one can Edit the Key accordingly.

Best regards,

Jonas

  1. Personal Library
    1. Allow library access

      Allow third party to access your library.

    2. Allow notes access

      Allow third party to access your notes.

    3. Allow write access

      Allow third party to make changes to your library.

  2. Default Group Permissions
    1. All Groups None
      Read Only
      Read/Write

      Allow access to all current and future groups.

The warning in admin is not connected to problems with cloud plugin - zotero.

When you say: when block is displayed... So I assume you got past OAuth connection between Mahara and Zotero? So you've successfully connected/exchanged OAuth tokens between Mahara and Zotero?

One more thing. I remember someone mentioning that proxy could be the source of troubles. So is your site behind the proxy?
