Key Error after pyzotero v. 0.9.9.1

zot.py throws a key error in all pyzotero versions after 0.9.9.1:

File "/volume1/homes/admin/Zotero/zot.py", line 395, in
collection_ids[coll[u'name']] = coll_key #[x[u'key']]
KeyError: u'name'

push.py ExpatError

I'm trying to get Zot Bib Web running on my Wordpress installation. While the generation of zotero-bib.html works fine, I'm running into trouble with push.py.

I'm getting the error

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "Zot Bib Web/push.py", line 94, in <module>
    rawpost = server.wp.getPost(wp_blogid, wp_username, wp_password, post_id)

    return self.__send(self.__name, args)

    self._parser.Parse(data, 0)
xml.parsers.expat.ExpatError: mismatched tag: line 16, column 4

when running the script. Line 94 in push.py points to the rawpost generation, so I'm guessing something is running out of line there - but I can't seem to figure out what. These are my setting for push_wordpress in settings.py:

push_wordpress(url="http://..../httpdocs/xmlrpc.php", blogID=1, user="user", password="pass", postID=360)

With the url pointing to xmlrpc on the server and the postID identifying the page where the bibliography should be displayed (user and pass being the correct credentials, of course), I'm not sure what is going wrong.

According to the Python2 docs, the "mismatched tag" error indicates that "An end tag did not match the innermost open start tag." (https://docs.python.org/2/library/pyexpat.html#expat-error-constants). However, I do not know how to fix this from within the given scripts from Zot Bib Web. Any help would be appreciated!

doi

Hi
Just discover your program, thanks so much, fill my need!
Just have a suggestion/feature request.
I would like to have doi in addition of link (or fallback). I circumvent this issue by using a style incorporating full doi address, ie http://doi.org/XXX. All styles with doi:XXX is not creating the link (it only writes the doi without a href). It works but I found it crowd my page with written link instead of a simple href.
Thanks to read!

linked attachment

Hi
Second suggestion to an already comprehensive program"
I would have link to display the name of the linked attachment (pdf in my case). Just printed, without any links or complicated stuff. Similar to original zotero report do.

I used output for a different need than you, for lab internal use only. My goal is to prepare a digest of our all our common pdf files. So just have the path/name of the file will help everyone to locate it in our folders.
Thanks again!

UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe9'

Your script seems very interesting and useful. However, I have an error when running it:

File "xxxxxxxx\zot_bib_web\zot.py", line 579, in sortkeyname
return SortAndValue(".".join([str(sortkeyname(field, value2).sort) for value2 in value]), sortkeyname(field, value[-1]).value)
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe9' in position 43: ordinal not in range(128)

It may due to characters with accent in the name of the collection. Do you have a patch for this error?

Add note in html

A final suggestion.
Adding in settings the possibility of adding note in the html file. A simple

after title would do the job.

For now, I will add my text after html generation by writing directly in the html but it means it wouldn't be automatically done.
Thanks again.

Exporting files if they are stored using webdav

Hi,
I would like to export a library as html for assigning papers to the students. Hence, the files need to be reached easily by students as well. However, I use Webdav server to store my library.

In this scenario when I used
show_links = ['abstract', 'URL', 'BIB', 'file']
html files are not created. On the other hand, without the 'file' option, it works fine.

I thought this is due to the files are stored via WebDAV? Can this be the reason? If yes. is there a way to overcome this situation?

This the error I obtain.

pyzotero.zotero_errors.ResourceNotFound:
Code: 404
URL: https://api.zotero.org/users/295638/items/FBC48LHH/file
Method: GET
Response: Not found

Thanks once again for such a useful tool.
Best,

very small detail

line 30 of zot.py: "or 'group' # group or userm"
I would change userm to user (unless I am missing something). For amateurs like me, there is no guarantee that "userm" is not some declared variable or something beyond our grasp.

error in line 308

testing this great solution but returns...

  File "./zot.py", line 308
    except AttributeError,ImportError:
                         ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

any idea?

running Ubuntu 18.10

Expandable lists or trees of tags for shortcuts

My Zotero tags look like "Parent tag>child tag", "Parent tag>child tag>grandchild tag" for different values of these parent, child and grandchild tag names. I want to make it look like an expandable list that only shows the parent tags in the beginning and then clicking [+] opens the list to child tags as well and another [+] click reveals all the tags in that tree.

Handling of notes and attachements

The most recent version of zot.py handles notes and attachments of collection items insufficiently rendering them as independent items. In the screenshot, there are two regular items, rendered as they should be, and three item attachements rendered as independent items.

ImportError: No module named pyzotero

on Mac OS after cloning the repo, chmodding as per setup docs, installing pyzotero (with both pip and pip3 because I've found that avoids problems sometimes).

./zot.py --help
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./zot.py", line 266, in <module>
    from pyzotero import zotero, zotero_errors
ImportError: No module named pyzotero

because it's mac OS, what's going on is:

python --version
Python 2.7.16

I tried making a venv to run in because all instructions found mentioned this. but this stuff isn't really my strong suit so eventually gave up on that. That would be my fault for not knowing what I'm doing; maybe it would be a viable path for someone else.

solution

run like this instead:

python3 zot.py --help

This error also appeared in https://github.com/davidswelt/zot_bib_web/issues/13#issuecomment-558831126 but was apparently resolved back then. I have no insight as what the problem is or how to fix permanently aside from what's presented above.

When I ran the demo command as per instructions, the file zotero-bib.html was generated successfully.

thank you for the tool!

Group by author names (shortcuts)

What modifications would you suggest if I wanted to show a bunch of authors in the shortcuts?

Let's say I specify the author last names in a list in the same way that I suggest years. What is the best way to modify zot.py to incorporate such specification in the settings.py?
