Add support for Zotero 7 about zotero-markdb-connect HOT 16 CLOSED

Quick update on Zot7 support - the core functionality issues are resolved. Main remaining task is getting the preference window situated.

from zotero-markdb-connect.

Zotero 7 will require fairly extensive rewrites of most plugins (see retorquere/zotero-better-bibtex#2522). I'm going to hold off on redeveloping MarkDB-Connect until BetterBibTeX has a working beta since one of the major MDBC workflows relies on BBT citekeys.

It's in development. The new requirements for zotero 7 plugs require a ground-up rebuild, but I have some of the core components working. An additional complication is building a plugin that supports both zotero 6 and 7. But maybe I'll release a beta with exclusively zotero 7 compatibility before tackling that.

yeah, everything is close. I'm hoping that I'll have time next week to connect the parts and get an alpha out.

Thank you and please get this done as soon as possible！

If you installed a prerelease, you'll need to manually update to v0.1.0-rc.6 (or later). I changed the addon ID and it won't autoupdate to a different ID than the installed version.

Thanks for the update. I'd say to just release a beta plugin that work only with Zotero 7. I've seen a few developers rolling out updates that work with both Zotero 6 and Zotero 7, which causes some bug with Zotero 6, or they have to remove some features. Eventually most of them just drop Zotero 6 support, and people have to trace back what the stable release for Zotero 6 was and reinstall it.

I think as of now, those who choose to remain with Zotero 6 don't want anything that's buggy. Your plugin currently works very well with Zotero 6, so I think it's better to make a separate version for Zotero 7.

Just tested on mine, works perfectly on:

• Fedora 38
• Zotero 7.0.0-beta.52+2f8e536f2 (64-bit)
• zotero-markdb-connect 0.1.0-rc.0

Great. Seems to be working as intended. Thanks!

fyi I found a typo that messed with the obsidian URI. It's fixed in rc.2

Hi, I don't mean to be pushy, but BetterBibTeX can now work with Zotero 7 quite well. The only remaining issue is the “citekey display/edit field awaits API from Zotero” retorquere/zotero-better-bibtex#2522 (comment)

This is one of the few plugins I really depend on for my Logseq workflow. Any progress with the preference window? Thanks for your work!

hi daeh, how it is going?

from zotero-markdb-connect.

I got a note that there was a release candidate, zotero-markdb-connect-0.1.0-rc.0.zip, and I was able to download it, but it won't install. Says that it isn't compatible with my version of Zotero, which is 7.0.0-beta.52+2f8e536f2 for MacOS

from zotero-markdb-connect.

@kerim That's the same version I'm on (7.0.0-beta.52+2f8e536f2 for MacOS). rc.1 will be available later today, I don't think anything will be different, but if it doesn't work I'll think about how we might go about troubleshooting.

from zotero-markdb-connect.

Here's rc.1. Please let me know how it works for you.

https://github.com/daeh/zotero-markdb-connect/releases/tag/v0.1.0-rc.1

Since this plugin is fairly flexible and encompasses a variety of use-cases, feedback about what is working is very appreciated.
