FAZ.NET

OK, so I lied.
The FAZ translator is great, but it failed ugly on me because the
xpath for the date was off.
Here's a fix
https://gist.github.com/1024336
only l. 81 is changed

I can't get search to work - it fails silently, claiming success.

Please go to http://github.com/ajlyon/zotero-bits/raw/master/FAZ.NET.js
and save the file to the translators directory of your Zotero data
directory (http://www.zotero.org/support/zotero_data).

Dates and search results should start working again. If this works for
you, please post here so that I can submit this change to be pushed to
all users.

perfect, thanks. Now I'll try to understand what you did there...

The translator uses the getItemArray function, which is very rarely
used, and which I‌ had even overlooked in the translator coding
documentation. There are docs there now:
http://www.zotero.org/support/dev/translators/coding#utility_functions

It was throwing away the correct search results -- I tweaked the
regex, and now it works!

ah yes, I see - I didn't get why there was a regexp in the end in the
first place, thanks for explaining/documenting.

I've remarked that the FAZ.net changed their site.

Thanks for already fixing the translator.

The version http://github.com/ajlyon/zotero-bits/raw/master/FAZ.NET.js
returns the following date
13. Juni 2011 2011-06-13 06:00:00

I've improved your version in https://gist.github.com/1047276
The result is now:
2011-06-13

I've tested the search fix with
http://www.faz.net/f30/common/Suchergebnis.aspx?term=philosophie&x=9&y=12&allchk=1
The search returns 5 out of 10 results. But this is ok, as only 5
articles have free access.

Will you commit a fixed version to svn?

[Avram Lyon]

Updated, tests added, committed.

Thanks!
