I'm intrigued by how Alberto Molina uses Zotero with his wiki, but I can't find any documentation on how to use them together. There's obviously been some modifications, but I don't see any obvious plugins listed or that kind of thing. Any help would be appreciated.

I don't know what are you talking about. I don't even know if you are talking about tw5 or twclassic

Hi Dan,

 
I'm intrigued by how Alberto Molina uses Zotero with his wiki, but I can't find any documentation on how to use them together. There's obviously been some modifications, but I don't see any obvious plugins listed or that kind of thing. Any help would be appreciated.

In tiddlywiki classic, under Firefox, I used to have links like that:

Open with [[Zotero|zotero://select/items/2807]]

On click, it opens the zotero panel and shows the item number 2807.

You can also show a report for that item with:

zotero://report/items/2807_FPWJVDDZ/html/report.html

Unfortunately, the protocol zotero:// is not suported by TW5 (at the moment). And I don't know if it will be. Maybe Jeremy or another TW guru could answer.

Thus, currently, I use zotero to store and manage my bibliography, and I use TW5 to manage quotes, notes, ideas, etc., related with those documents. But with no inter-relation between one and the other :(

Regards,
Alberto

Change in extlink.js

    this.matchRegExp = /~?(?:file|http|https|mailto|ftp|irc|news|data|skype):[^\s'"<>]+(?:\/|\b)/mg;


to
    this.matchRegExp = /~?(?:file|http|https|mailto|ftp|irc|news|data|skype|zotero):[^\s'"<>]+(?:\/|\b)/mg;

Hi Stephan,

It would be great to have that in 5.0.xy!

Thanks!

Alberto

No. There should be the [ext[ ]] notation for *any* external link.

Hi Alberto

The best way to link to zotero: URIs is to use the explicit external link syntax:

[ext[tooltip text|zotero://select/items/2807]]

Best wishes

Jeremy.

Hi Stephan and Jeremy,

The best way to link to zotero: URIs is to use the explicit external link syntax:

[ext[tooltip text|zotero://select/items/2807]]

I did try with no success. On click, nothing happens. 
I did also try to manually change extlink.js, as mentionned by Stephan, and reload the page, in vain.

But If I write zotero://select/items/2807 into the address bar of FireFox, it opens the panel of Zotero and shows the reference.
And zotero://report/items/0_VKFSAASU/html/report.html shows a report.

The attached picture shows a report and the panel on the bottom.

Regards,

Alberto

Hi Alberto

If I paste the example link [ext[tooltip text|zotero://select/items/2807]] into a new tiddler on tiddlywiki.com, I get the error message below, which suggests that the link is being seen correctly by the operating system.

Could you perhaps choose "Inspect Element" on the link in your wiki and send a screenshot of the raw HTML displayed by the dev tools?

Best wishes

Jeremy

I can't see the picture you sent, but I wrote the [ext[zotero://…]] in an empty tw and in tw.com, and this is the results of dev tools (see pictures).

Alberto

I have loaded the zotec plugin and on the error console I am seeing

Security Error: Content at file:///media/3497f82e-3b95-41de-90af-df905eceeab4/data/radice/firefoxextension/jermolene.github.com/index.html may not load or link to zotero://select/items/2807.

with version 29 of firefox - there is probably a way to configure ff to get round this - except there is a recent bug : see

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1005016

Thanks BJ, very helpful.

Do such links work in TiddlyDesktop?

Best wishes

Jeremy

Thanks for the info Alberto. Since there isn't straight-forward way to connect the apps to each other yet, I've started dragging and dropping citations into relevant tiddlers.

Also, I thought it might be useful to direct people in a Zotero forum thread to this discussion: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/2628/tiddlywiki-as-a-zotero-database-presentation-layer/

Hello,

I was wondering if there is any update on this? According to https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/24241/linking-to-zotero-items-via-zoteroselect/, the zotero:// links did not work from a local HTML document, which is why, I believe, the links don't work from a local tiddlywiki. Is there a workaround?

Kind regards
Camille

Hello everyone, I'm re=starting this thread to see if anyone has developed a technique to integrate Zotero with TiddlyWiki...//steve.

Hi Steve,
I had a Zotero-Workflow ( which was posted here about two Years ago). But seeing the actual development I have switched to using Zoteros bibtex-Export and the Bibtex-plugin.
It would be great if someone integrated a macro to make the links to Bibtex-tiddlers show a quotable title.

Yours Jan
