I am getting the following error message when I try to insert a reference:
***Zotero OpenOffice Integration could not communicate with OpenOffice.org because the soffice executable directory specified in the Zotero OpenOffice Integration preferences does not contain a “soffice” file.
See the Zotero word processor plugin troubleshooting page for information on how to locate the appropriate directory.*** :’(
The zotero page does not give a great deal of help. Did somebody make this plugin work with OpenOffice in OpenSuse? Especially: are the paths indicated correct?
I know I fixed this same issue on someone else’s machine for them. I think all you have to do is go into the preferences for the Zotero plugin and change the soffice executable path to file:///usr/bin/.
By the way, you could have found where the soffice executable is by issuing the following command from a terminal
which soffice
You might also have to change the java uno path to file:///usr/lib64/ooo3/ure/share/java (change ure-link to ure).
Ok, now the paths seem to be correct, the button reinstall plugin reports success. I then close FF and open it again. I open OpenOffice, and then when I try to insert a bibliography the program tells me…:
Firefox could not load the component required to communicate with your word processor. Please ensure that the appropriate Firefox extension is installed and try again.
Paths:
java uno: file:///usr/lib64/ooo3/ure/share/java/
and soffice: file:///usr/bin/
What could this be? Any clue? The extension is installed, and correctly indicated in the extension lists.
