Zotero extension - Add Collection Tag

When a new item is added to a collection with the Zotero Connector (i.e., the Web browser extension), this plugin will automatically tag the item and the related attachement with the name of the currently selected collection or sub-collection in Zotero.

Example

With the following layout, the plugin will automatically add the tag Collection 1 to the new item and the related attachements.

My Library:
|_Collection 1 <- currently selected sub-collection
  |_New item added + related attachements (e.g., a PDF)

Installation

To obtain the extension, you can follow one of the two approachs:

  • Dowload the file zotero-add-collection-tag.xpi from the latest release.

  • Build the extension yourself by archiving the following files:

    • chrome/
    • chrome.manifest
    • install.rdf

    For example: 7z a zotero_add_collection_tag.xpi chrome chrome.manifest install.rdf using 7zip.

    You can also create a .zip an replace the extension by .xpi afterwards.

Then you can follow the first instructions of the Zotero documentation.
