Am I missing something or should there be a field to configure the folder where the notes go? I connected my API and it says it finished syncing but the settings shows me no files to test the templates with and I can't find any of the references in my vault.

First of all, thank you for your work.
When I tried this plugin I noticed that I only got child notes. Is there a way to get standalone notes into Obsidian? Preferably with their related fields parsed as links?
Thanks again!

Hello ! I have tried to modify the template so the tags could be imported as the notes.

even if the number of tags come ok (i had 7 tags in a document and the number of references were ok in obsidian) the tags came empty, showing only « object » as reference for each… have you tried this before ? Any ideas ? Thanks !

When working with a Zotero Library that has group libraries, the plug-in uses this URL format:
zotero://select/library/items/PDT4LQ75

But to access the item in a group library, it should be:
zotero://select/groups/4763555/items/PDT4LQ75

When trying to establish first connection I get this authentication error, after pasting in my key:

This is how I generated my api key:

Resulting Key: majV0Jc3TIpTr1byxWxf1ld1
(Key since deleted, so I'm not exposing anything here)

What am I doing wrong?
macOS 13, Obsidian v1.4.16, Zotero v6.0.30

First off, great plugin! I spent some time browsing Obsidian/Zotero integrations and this one is my favorite, so thanks for creating it. :)

In this plugin's config, I coded a template that includes some Obsidian properties. However, Obsidian doesn't detect these properties because the generated file contains a "marker" (the zotero key) and a Zotero link at the top (the relevant piece of code from the plugin is here).

I think the simplest, non-breaking fix would be an optional setting to read/write the marker at the end of the note instead of the beginning. A more robust approach might be to include the marker as another file property, but then we'd need some way for the plugin user to create their own properties.

My availability is honestly shaky right now, but I'd be happy to work on this if you're open to pull requests!

Hi!
Great plugin thanks a lot.
I'm working a lot with group libraries in Zotero and I've created an API key that authorizes Read/Write on Zotero groups, however I only get my personal library in Obsidian, is that on purpose or on your roadmap?
Thanks alot

Is it possible to access the group library name from the Template?

It's great to have the collection name; I would also like to show the group library name.

If the variable is not exposed, please consider making it accessible to the Template.

I've not been able to sync and keep getting the following error:

[Failed to authenticate with Zotero] Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'all')

I tried different API keys, changing between "library access" and "note access", and also restarting both Zotero and Obsidian to no avail.

I've installed version 1.3.4 from the plugin manager inside Obsidian.

This plugin seems to be exactly what I was looking for my workflow with Obsidian, so I'm excited to make it work. Thanks!

Thanks for this useful plugin.
I have multiple items in my Zotero library that have the Date format m/yyyy (eg. 4/2018). The current let year = new Date(data.date).getFullYear(); returns NaN in this case. How can I get the year from that non-standard date format?

Hello,

I am just wondering can you guys also sync tags and collections from Zotero. Since a paper can belong to multiple collections, maybe you can make collections as a multi-select field. I am not sure if these features are provided in the zotero-sync github repo you have been using. But it would be really awesome if you could colorize papers in the graph view based on collections and article tags.

I have a feature request that would hopefully enable some interoperability between this plugin and the Obsidian Pandoc plugin. Ideally, I'd like to have Better BibTex citation keys exposed in the JSON data synced through Zotero Sync Client so I can use Better BibTex citation keys as synced note names. This would allow formatted in-text citation links generated through the Obsidian Pandoc UI to link to synced Zotero notes.

I'm not very familiar with the various Zotero APIs. Obsidian Pandoc uses a local port to grab Better BibTex keys and other item data. Perhaps this local sync method could be added in addition to the Zotero web API?

Thanks for considering. As I have time, I may try to dig into this and add this functionality myself.
