Description (last modified by dstillman)

The EBSCO translator fails to import attached PDFs and HTML full texts. http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/2950. The translator also creates notes with an Accession Number in them, I am pretty sure this is not useful.

See this record for a example of a item with a link to HTML full text.

  • Priority changed from major to critical

Moving the priority on this up. EBSCO is one of our biggest supported databases. Ebsco also now includes lists cited references in a work. The lists allow RIS export which Zotero should be able to grab.

PDF saving enabled in https://github.com/zotero/translators/commit/bddf0b5c8c6a75a1f73f4c2a52e98dbeaa53a8e1

There may still be rough edges, but they can be dealt with on the forums and zotero-dev. Closing as fixed.
