Chrome disabled it[edit]

CiteGen works fine with Firefox, but Chrome disabled it after a restart, citing "This extension is not listed in the Chrome Web Store and may have been added without your knowledge." I couldn't re-enable it and had to delete and re-install.--Auric talk 14:08, 12 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Auric: Firstly, apologises for the late reply. I must have missed it in my watchlist. The extension is not on the web store yet because I don't have a credit card to pay the $5 verification fee. Meanwhile, I'm looking for workarounds to solve the problem. Thank you. Zhaofeng Li [talk... contribs...] 00:10, 4 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Auric: After some struggles, it's finally on Chrome Web Store. It's still the old version, but I'm working hard to bring an updated one with some known issues addressed. Thank you. Zhaofeng Li [talk... contribs...] 13:07, 16 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
No, thank you. --Auric talk 20:29, 16 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Not working[edit]

Is this still being updated? It's not working for me (hangs on "We are generating the citation. Hang tight...")—Chrome, OS X, across multiple news websites (CNN, HuffPo, Polygon.com, etc.) czar 22:06, 6 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Also does this use Citoid for metadata parsing? czar 22:11, 6 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Czar:  Fixed Admittedly, it hasn't been updated for a long time. I've fixed the installation link and the API backend, which should require no changes to the add-on for now. To parse metadata, it uses reFill which has its own set of metadata parsers. An experimental Citoid integration is available, but not ready for prime time yet. It's definitely time to clean up the project to make everything more stable. Thanks for your report! Zhaofeng Li [talk ♦ contribs] 03:03, 7 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Zhaofeng Li, excellent! Thanks! If you or anyone you know might be interested, someone from the Zotero project offered to do a webinar on writing Zotero translators (the software behind the scrapers that Citoid uses). Here is the blurb that I posted in a few places:

Behind Citoid and likely any of our future citation parsing services is are a series of Zotero "translators". I recently wrote one and it had a bit of a learning curve. However, Sebastian from the Zotero project has offered to give a webinar on translator coding if there is interest. It would include basic scraping by manual code and the streamlined "Framework" (less coding). I'm trying to gauge interest, so please leave a note on my enwp talk page with the nature of your interest (e.g., are you just curious or do you plan to write translators for specific sites?)

Responded on User talk:Zhaofeng Li/reFill#Potential webinar on Zotero translator coding. Much appreciated! Zhaofeng Li [talk ♦ contribs] 03:18, 7 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Microsoft Edge[edit]

Are there any plans to bring CiteGen to MS Edge? Because that's my default browser (for now). Kailash29792 (talk) 04:07, 19 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

accessdate[edit]

Is there a way to change |accessdate= to |access-date=? BOVINEBOY2008 15:51, 22 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
