Not able to open/search notes from Business Notebooks

I have an Evernote business subscription, only my personal notebooks show up in ST3

@spint I only tested the plugin with a free account. If you help me I can make it work for business accounts as well. Can you give me more details about the problem?

1. You say you only see your personal notebooks. Which other notebooks are you expecting to see?
2. Have you tried the search note function? You can also search for "notebook:NAME" and get all the notes of that notebook listed: what happens if you try that with one of the missing notebooks?

Business notebooks are notebooks that

• you created in the "business" section of evernote (and you can share with your colleagues)
• notebooks created by colleagues and that you "joined" (subscribed to)

Neither of these show up in the list when you do "Open evernote note". Also the search note function does not work with the these business notebooks (no notes found!)

Ok, thanks for the info. The Evernote documentation is actually pretty clear, I just overlooked this aspect: to authenticate against a business account an extra step is needed https://dev.evernote.com/doc/articles/business.php

I'll try to implement this as soon as possible but I cannot give you a precise timeframe. If you are interested in adding this functionality yourself feel free to open a pull request.

Thanks for looking into this, I look forward to using this, but I'm afraid I can't help you out at the moment...

@bordaigorl I have a Evernote pro account. I shared a notebook with my team mate. But he is not able to see the notebook while using Sublime Evernote.

Just to be clear, I have complete access to the notebook through Evernote Sublime.

Is there also something specific about this in the Evernote API docs?

@hoodwink73 thanks for your feedback. I asked the Evernote team for a Business account in sandbox but I have not been able to obtain it yet, so I cannot test anything. From my understanding of the documentation, the notebooks belonging to the business need to be accessed using a very different part of the API; one needs to authenticate him/herself using the dev-token and then again obtain an auth token for the business, getting a separate noteStore holding the business related notes. Creating notes belonging to the business is more convoluted as it involves sharing, accessing business notebooks requires dealing with linked notebooks. Until I get access to the business sandbox account I will not be able to test and implement any of this unfortunately. Unless you may be interested in helping me?

@bordaigorl Mine is not a business account. Simply a pro account which allows to share notebooks with other Evernote users to collaborate on them.

While I can see the notebook as I am the creator, my collaborator does not see the notebook when he tries to open it from Sublime.

[bordaigorl]

@hoodwink73 I see. As I said, I think this is due to the fact that the note is not listed under any of your collaborator's notebooks but either the linked ones (available through a different part of the API from the normal ones) or through the API to handle shared notes...

@hoodwink73 You may find this document helpful: https://dev.evernote.com/doc/articles/sharing.php which method are you using to share the note? Are you sharing an entire notebook? Also, I misread you were talking about a pro account vs business because of the title of the issue, maybe it is worth opening a separate one.
