support for Zotero group libraries in remote libraries

[hansonmcoombs]

I'm just getting my head around Latex and setting up my system/environment. Generally thank you so much for the excellent plugin.

My issue

Please correct me if I'm wrong!

I collaborate with a number of other authors. We manage our references by using a Zotero Group librarly (https://www.zotero.org/groups/), which are stored in Zotero Storage. Based on the source code group libraries are not supported.

https://github.com/Hannah-Sten/TeXiFy-IDEA/blob/master/src/nl/hannahsten/texifyidea/remotelibraries/zotero/ZoteroLibrary.kt

27: return client.get("$BASE_URL/users/${credentials?.userName}/items") 
51: const val BASE_URL = "https://api.zotero.org"

Possible solution

Create a new remote library type: zotero group library:

Based on https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/38980/api-group-access" --> https://api.zotero.org/groups/{YourGroupID}/items?key={YourKey}

you would need something like:

• BASE_URL = "https://api.zotero.org/groups/"
• A "group ID" input box
• return client.get("$BASE_URL/${credentials?.groupID}/items")

I would dig into this, but I've never worked with .kt or javascript... so it may take me some time.

Thanks for the suggestion! Indeed, if the group id is something that needs to be provided manually to TeXiFy then a separate library type makes sense I think, because we need UI for that then.

@PHPirates I belive that there must be a mechanism to grap all group library ids for the subscribed user... but that might be harder than it is worth. A bit of documentation (you get the group library id from the group library URL) might be easier work around for the moment. It might also allow unsubscribed read access to public groups (like the link below). Unfortunately I haven't yet had time to dig into Zotero's API...

the group id is 2608283
