notero: Zotero URI links result in "page not found" error

Hi @dvanoni ,

my way for solving this issue is to use a chrome add-on called “URL redirect for developers” as a middle point to open the zotero application and find the item.

the code to import into the add-on is shown below:

{
  "settingsSchemaVersion": 1,
  "enabled": true,
  "removeCSPRules": [],
  "redirectRules": [
    {
      "enabled": true,
      "fromPattern": "*://www.zotero.org/{user}/items/{id}",
      "toPattern": "zotero://select/library/items/{id}"
    },
    {
      "enabled": true,
      "fromPattern": "http://zotero.org/users/{user}/items/{id}",
      "toPattern": "https://www.zotero.org/{user}/items/{id}"
    }
  ]
}

add the extension from chrome extension market

click the import button and paste the codes shown above

As long as the chrome open, click on the “zotero url” the chrome will redirect back to the zotero application and find the item it points to.

If you’re using Firefox, the extension Firefox Redirector provides a workaround. I had success with the following wildcard rule:

Redirect: https://www.zotero.org/users/*/items/* To: zotero://select/library/items/$2

Another URL redirect tool was shared here: https://github.com/dvanoni/notero/issues/78#issuecomment-1378732014

it works for me since almost all the time when I use zotero, I also keep the chrome on.

Hi. thanks for this awesome tool. I propose a little hint on README about this issue. I started using this plugin today and was confused about why the links were not working.

Thanks for the advice, going to play with this later today!

@austinmw, unfortunately, it looks like Notion still only supports http and https links.

You could try using the Chrome extension that @sheldon123z mentioned above with something like the following:

From: http://openProj/{projId} To: lt://openProj/{projId}

Then, when you paste one of those LiquidText links into Notion, you’d need to replace the leading lt with http so that Notion will recognize it as a link.

I haven’t used the extension myself, so I’m not sure if I have it quite right, but let me know if you give it a try!
