What I’m trying to do
Hi everyone, I’m pretty new to obsidian, and have no experience with any coding, and I’ve been trying to setup some plugins to transfer my annotations and notes from a Zotero entry to a new obsidian note. I’m using the plugins Highlighr (@chetachi), Templatr (@SilentVoid), and Zotero Integration (@mgmeyers), and I followed this tutorial from Girl in Blue Music (I can’t add a link, but the post is titled ‘connect zotero and obsidian for the ultimate phd workflow’). In a different vault, I had set it up successfully about 9 months ago and stopped using the setup, but now even in that vault it isn’t working (after making sure all the plugins were up to date).
Things I have tried
So at the moment, I have all the settings the same as the tutorial, setup the hotkey to add import an item (not note) from Zotero, and when I use the hotkey, I’m able to select the source, I get the loading bar from Zotero, and then sometimes a new note appears, and sometimes not, but when it does, it also has ‘source-notecitekey’ as the note title, instead of just the citekey, AND it’s not being added to the specified folder for my notes in my vault. Screen shots of my zotero integration settings and what my note template looks like on my end, and I’ve pasted the code of my template below.
I’ve searched around the forum and have seen other people with similar problems, but I haven’t had any luck fixing it. I’ve double checked the tutorials I’ve found and I’m pretty certain I have all the settings correct. I’m wondering if the new Zotero update might have something to do with it?
I’ve made sure all the plugins are up to date (including the most recent betterbibtex), I’ve double checked the code that I’ve pasted in to my template note, and I’ve tried other users code with no luck.
Thanks for your help!
