The following Chickenfoot script demonstrates how to access attributes related to Zotero items. (I’ve run this script on both Zotero 1.0.7 and the latest named release of Zotero 1.5 Sync Preview (1.5-sync3.5))): // zotero_item_show_pieces.js // code to extract elements of the first selected item // Dec 16, 2008 var Zotero = chromeWindow.Zotero; var ZoteroPane = […]
Tagged Chickenfoot, ZoteroIn a previous post adding all Firefox tabs to Zotero using Chickenfoot, I showed how to write a Chickenfoot script to loop through all Firefox tabs and add each of them as an item into Zotero. A limitation of the script was that it used only ZoteroPane.addItemFromPage for every tab, even if a given tab […]
Since I want to make it easier for people to write comments on my weblogs (while not making it too easy for spammers), I added support for OpenID for my blogs by using the WordPress OpenID plugin. Unfortunately, the plug-in stopped working sometime along the way, giving rise to the following error message when users […]
Tagged OpenID, WordpressSeveral weeks ago, I wrote (a blog post and a post on the zotero-dev group) on how to use Chickenfoot to script Zotero. I’m starting to experiment with creating little videos that I hope will make my technical posts easier to understand. Here’s one I just made to illustrate what I wrote about in the […]
Tagged Chickenfoot, screencast, ZoteroWe can now build on what was presented in the previous blog post: Adding items to Zotero with Chickenfoot. The end goal is to loop through all the tabs and add Each of them as items into Zotero. So we need to figure out how to access the tabs. I would do so here by […]

Tagged PythonHere I report a few code fragments that you can try in Chickenfoot to create a Zotero item from the contents in the selected tab of your browser. (For a bit of context for what I’m talking about here, see my previous post Data Unbound » Accessing Zotero via Chickenfoot: a warm up exercise.) There’s […]
Tagged Chickenfoot, ZoteroYesterday, I installed the new version 3.0 of Open`Office.org. I had configured the old version of open office.org to map Ctrl-Q to insert a timestamp of the current time. (I’m using the key mapping from Ecco Pro.) It took me a little while to figure out how to do this configuration once again. Hence I […]
Tagged OpenOffice.org, screencastHearty congratulations to my colleagues Beth Harris and Steven Zucker for winning a prestigious international award for their newly redesigned smARThistory! I’m looking forward to studying the new site in detail — and learning a lot about art history while doing so. (I started reading the number of books on art history (including Julian Bell’s […]
Tagged art historyHere’s some code I figured out for doing so that I believe should work: var tabBrowser = getTabBrowser(chromeWindow); var tabs = tabBrowser.mTabBox._tabs.childNodes; for (var i=0; i <tabs.length; i++) { var browser = tabBrowser.getBrowserForTab(tabs[i]); output(browser.contentWindow.location); } It took me a while to gather the pieces, and I’ll have to explain how I did it — but […]
