positions "saving item" window in a slightly better place on Windows
the UMich bug was actually bigger than I though. as it turns out, the HiddenDOMWindow in Windows is not a chrome window, so i had to modify createHiddenBrowser() to attach the hidden browser object to an existing browser window. i don't believe this should have any adverse effects for snapshots, etc., but Dan, correct me if i'm wrong. it would be nice to be able to create a real chrome instance instead of a XUL element, but all of my attempts at doing so have failed.
i've fixed the Amazon.com bug (i think) and made the translator show a "Could Not Save Item" prompt rather than show an empty list, but if you see any other pages where this happens, let me know
- make EBSCO scraper work better through a proxy
- shorten Accession Number -> Accession No, Journal Abbreviation -> Journal Abbr, Publication Title -> Publication. it does look a bit stranger, but it also makes the interface more functional (especially for those of us without giant widescreen LCDs ;-)
(Apparently 'columnName NONE' in SQLite is functionally equivalent to 'columnName ILUVTIDDLYWINKS' in setting column affinity--as in, they both use the default of NUMERIC--which frankly I feel the docs could've been slightly more clear on, since they scatter the word NONE in capital letters all about the page with the other affinity keywords...)
modifies scrapers to use dates in the format that comes out of the page, rather than converting to SQL
adds Scholar.Date.formatDate() to provide a pretty representation of dates
- Scholar.strToDate() accepts a string date and returns an object containing year, month, day, and part
- capture access date whenever URL is captured
- updated Zotero.dot to use new namespaces
Closes#208, tags overflow pane
This is kind of cheating, but it works, and as long as we can live with a 170px min-height, I'm not going to take the time to figure out how (and whether) this can be fixed.
Also, since I realized there's no way to change the GUID and still delete the previous version on upgrade, I'm adding an update.rdf entry that will disable old versions with a blank extension and force people to reinstall, since otherwise they'd end up with both Scholar and Zotero installed at once, which, as you know, would create a time paradox, the results of which could start a chain reaction that would unravel the very fabric of the space-time continuum and destroy the entire universe.
Anyone on an XPI install should go to Add-ons and delete their version and fetch a new one from http://chnm.gmu.edu/firefoxscholar/download/zotero-dev.xpi
- About panel now gets version number automatically
- Change version from 1.0a1 to 1.0b1
* Important: If you're on an SVN install, you need to rename the scholar@chnm.gmu.edu text file in your profile extension directory to zotero@chnm.gmu.edu *
XPI installs will (I think) update automatically, since I kept an entry in updates.rdf with the old GUID
