breaks bibtex import in Zotero

[adam3smith]

your better bibtex.js translator overwrites the existing Zotero bibtex translator and looks like it's breaking things:

It'd be great to fix this as soon as possible, as it's very confusing to troubleshoot:

Can you add a gist with the bibtex content you're trying to import? I can't access the site in question.

[retorquere]

Hold on, I have access via university VPN. I've tried to import, both the "BibTex" generated from the dropdown and via the in-address-bar Zotero icon, and I'm not seeing any problems.

BBT doesn't delete the import BTW, it adds a biblatex importer (which might be broken); if I were to remove bibtex import it could hardly be called better. But this seems related to the interaction between the Chrome connector and Zotero. I'll try to sort it out, but I'm unsure this can be caused by BBT at all.

0.0.50 is supposed to fix this, but I would appreciate confirmation.

[carlodri]

Is this somehow related to this issue?

[retorquere]

Unlikely, but I'll investigate. Thanks for the heads-up.

The error shown in the Zotero error report is the following:

[JavaScript Error: "config.exportCharset is undefined" {file: "C:\Users\Carlo\AppData\Roaming\Zotero\Zotero\Profiles\9197duhv.default\zotero\translators\BetterBibTeX.js" line: 11307}]

[retorquere]

Ah, that explains it. 0.0.52 ought to fix it.

[carlodri]

Here is the gist link to the collection.xml file. Hope it works...

[retorquere]

Seems to work now, please test (oh, and would you mind opening a separate issue should you run into another problem?)

[carlodri]

Sure, sorry, I'm a novice with github and relatives...

[retorquere]

No worries whatsoever. I'm glad for all the feedback I get. Don't forget to let the extension update to 0.0.52 before you test again -- and thanks for using BBT!

likely related to issue #7: if I double-click this file to import it in Zotero, I get the following error:

[JavaScript Error: "name.trim is not a function" {file: "C:\Users\Carlo\AppData\Roaming\Zotero\Zotero\Profiles\9197duhv.default\zotero\translators\BetterBibLaTeX.js" line: 11447}]

It wasn't related to #7; it was something that was already in the existant BibLaTex im/exporter that I inherited... that was one strange error though.
