Javascript API problem

[Erik Hetzner]

Hi,

In generation citations for my Emacs org-mode integration, I used to
be able to do this, via MozRepl:

var Zotero = Components.classes["@zotero.org/Zotero;1"] .getService(Components.interfaces.nsISupports).wrappedJSObject;
var lkh = Zotero.Items.parseLibraryKeyHash("0_QZXS7E6Q");
var item = Zotero.Items.getByLibraryAndKey(lkh.libraryID, lkh.key);
var biblio = Zotero.QuickCopy.getContentFromItems(new Array(item), "http://www.zotero.org/styles/chicago-note-bibliography");

And then use ``biblio.html`` to retrieve an HTML representation of a
bibliography entry. This no longer seems to work.

According to [1] I can use:

var biblio = Zotero.QuickCopy.getContentFromItems(new Array(item),
Zotero.Prefs.get("export.quickCopy.setting"));
var biblio_html_format = cite.html; /* sic? should be biblio.html? */

But this does not seem to work either. Ultimately I would like to get
away from MozRepl but no other solution seems easy at the moment.

Any suggestions?

best, Erik

From the code, it looks like you need to prepend the style string with
"bibliography=", so:

var biblio = Zotero.QuickCopy.getContentFromItems(new Array(item),

"bibliography=http://www.zotero.org/styles/chicago-note-
bibliography");

(Guessing that the URI id is used to reference styles internally)

Does that work?

Thanks! Turns out that was what I *was* doing in my code, but my
attempts to do this manually were not done right. In the end the issue
was that I needed to increase the time I wait for a file to be
written.

Thanks for the help.

best, Erik
