I can not use Hook with Zotero

[Tsutomu]

Hi, I am Tsutomu from Japan.

I read Using Hookmark with Zotero Using Hookmark with Zotero – Hookmark
I set it up.
But I can not use Hook with Zotero.
Hook shows: No linkable item in Zotero.
What do I do?
Please let me know.
Hook: Version 6.5 (6117; Integration v. 345)
Zotero: 7.0.7

Welcome to Hookmark forum, @Tsutomu .

If you selected a record, press shift+commad+c, what do you get?

Does your Settings->Export looks like below:

Thank you

[Tsutomu]

Thank you for response.

Yes, I set it up.
Settings->Export
item format: Markdonw item URI

But Hook cannot get Markdonw item URI from Zotero.

If you selected a record, press shift+commad+c, what do you get?

Just want to make sure, can you use the shortcut to get the markdown URI?

Thank you

[Tsutomu]

Yes, my Zotero gets a Markdown item URI when I press shift+xommond+C.
My Zotero also shows Copy as Markdown item URI in Menu item.

(1) Select a record in Zotero
(2) Run the following script in Script Editor and see if it return a markdown link?

Thank you

Hi, what version of macOS are you running? It seems to me the plugin is not working on your system for some reason.
