Custom CSL problem (again)

    Several months ago I posted an issue regarding the use of a custom csl and the Mendeley plugin would only display the years. That thread can be seen here.
    Nutshell: If I use a custom csl located on the web server, it doesn’t work. If I put it on an external file server it does.

    The code supplied by @dinel2016 in that previous thread worked like a charm. Unfortunately when I update the Mendeley plugin the problem comes back. The info is being returned but with the exception of years, it’s not being displayed.

    I’ve tried pasting that successful code in the new versions of Mendeley but it still doesn’t work.

    I’ve been using Mendeley version 1.1.12 but if upgrade from there it looks like this. This is a dev site so I have debugging turned on. Results are cached (I’ve tested w/ no cache but no joy).

    If you click on “Book Chapters” or “Patents” on that page, it works. But Dissertations and Original Articles does not. There are more returns (>10) for those two pages. Could there be a limit on returns in the plugin code?

    This occurs with every version of the Mendeley plugin since 1.1.12.

    Any assistance with this is greatly appreciated!

    I checked the source and found that there was a “curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);” missing in the source code retrieving the CSL file. I added the missing line in the newest version of the plugin.

    Thanks for your quick reply. I installed the new version, cleared cache (browser and plugin) and retrieved a new access token from Mendeley. Unfortunately it isn’t working with a local csl or an external one.

    I also get a Failed retrieving OAuth2 access token: {“error”:”invalid_grant”,”error_description”:”Invalid access code”} whenever I change the settings, but that’s has periodically shown up from time to time in the past so I don’t know if that means anything.
