Topic on Talk:Citoid

Hello. I have a problem with citoid. After I inserted url, doi, pmid,the error message is shown like this: "We couldn't make a citation for you. You can create one manually using the "Manual" tab above."

I think the "zotero transalation server" is functioning because 'c-url test' or 'npm test' result had no problem. And I had the problem in following citoid instellation manual. I cannot clone not REL1-29 but also REL1_31. The error message on my shell is "Remote branch REL1_31 not found in upstream origin.

If you want to do an anonymous checkout:

git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/p/mediawiki/services/citoid

Like VisualEditor, the master branch requires alpha builds of MediaWiki. If you're installing on an other mediawiki version, use the right branch like git clone -b REL1_29 https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/p/mediawiki/services/citoid

I cannot find REL1_31 services/citoid

Thanks in advance.

ps. I'm not programmer, just i followed mediawiki manual. So my explanation of error is lack of information.

MediaWiki Certified by Bitnami 1.31.1-2 on Ubuntu 16.04

I checked chrome debugging, I found error message like this :

"OPTIONS http://localhost:1970/api?action=query&format=mediawiki&search=123412345 net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED"

$ curl -X GET --header 'Accepapplication/json; charset=utf-8' 'http://localhost:1970/api?action=query&search=forhappywomen.com&format=mediawiki'

But, this process is working. What's the problem...

It sounds like a configuration issue on the wiki. Have you followed the directions hereCitoid#Configure Citoid on a Citoid-enabled wiki and verified that you are getting template data though following the directions here?: Citoid#Get "could not make a citation for you" every time

@Mvolz

Thanks for answer! But I have followed those ways.

1. Citoid#Configure Citoid on a Citoid-enabled wiki
2. Citoid#Get "could not make a citation for you" every time

But, It doesn't work.

So I followed citoid again. But, I couldn't find the right branch of sevices/citoid (Not Extensions/citoid)

I think my problem is I coudn't clone REL1_31. Could you explain how can I get REL1_31 sevices/citoid?

(Although I changed following sentence 'REL1_29' to 'REL1_31', I see the error message :Cloning into 'citoid'...

fatal: Remote branch REL1_31 not found in upstream origin)

Like VisualEditor, the master branch requires alpha builds of MediaWiki. If you're installing on an other mediawiki version, use the right branch like git clone -b REL1_29https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/p/mediawiki/services/citoid

I cannot find REL1_31 services/citoid

Sorry about that... the documentation is not correct :/ I've fixed it now. You need the Rel_31 version of the extension, not the service, i.e. https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/admin/projects/mediawiki/extensions/Citoid,branches

The master version of the service should work with REL1_31, so I don't think that's the issue.

What is the output of http://localhost/api.php?action=templatedata&titles=Template:Cite%20web/doc&format=jsonfm look like?

Thanks for answer. I agree that. I solved problem with configuration of AWS security options. Acutally It's absolutely my mistake. I didnt open port1970 in AWS setting.

I solved it and the url/citoid is well operating. But. Other function(DOI, ISBN, PMID...) have a problem  :-(

Unfortunately ISBN won't work anymore without a developer key from worldcat, since they shuttered their xisbn service a year or so ago :/. DOI and PMID should be working.

ah! I understood.

Whenever I try to enter the pmid, I can see following message.

Lua error in Module:Citation/CS1/Identifiers at line 47: attempt to index field 'wikibase' (a nil value).

I can't find someone who struggled with same problem.

PMID auto-search citation is what I really want to use and why I started mediawiki. :-(

I solved <Lua error> with this page :Extension talk:Wikibase Client/Lua.

Thanks! Other people have had the same issue so I posted here: w:Help_talk:Citation_Style_1#Errors_from_imported_CS1_templates_into_third_party_wikis_which_don't_have_wikibase

It should be fixed in future versions of the template module.

FYI ISBN should be working now with the latest version citoid if you would like to update it: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/mediawiki/services/citoid/+/486851/
