hi, just wondering can this be installed inside a subfolder of a website

Hi,

Yes, to use Wowbook in a website you have to upload the Wowbook files into a subfolder to your website.

Just keep in mind that Wowbook is a jQuery plugin, it is not a Wordpress plugin ( I’m saying this because i got several messages lately thinking that Wowbook is a Wordpress plugin ).

Best regards

Thanks for amazing plugin, i wanna ask, i have big pdf file with size 60 MB, what step should i do to make loading and use flipbook more faster?

Cause when i load the big PDF file, then click next page more 3 times, it start slow transition in the flipbook effect…

Thanks in advance

Hi,

This is unusual, i need to see the pdf file in order to properly try to identify the problem.

Can you send me a email (through the support tab) with a url where i can take a look on your project? And when you do that please remember to send the email from the account that bought the license so i can verify the purchase. I’m confident that you bought the plugin’s license, but if i don’t do this minimum verification i will spend time answering people who did not bought the license while legitimate customer like you will be kept waiting. Hope you can understand.

Best regards.

Hi,

You can create more than 1 book with Wowbook in your website, as long as you comply with the terms of the Envato Regular License.

You can see more details at the links below: https://themeforest.net/licenses/standard https://themeforest.net/licenses/terms/regular

Hi, Can I turn pages from right to left

Hi,

Yes, there’s a configuration option for right to left languages.

Best regards

thanks

Hi, I have two questions before I pay for this plugin.

1. How many pages (images) can I add? Am I limited to certain number of pages? And if not, will the performance become poor if I’ve added a lot of pages?

2. Is it possible to resize the plug-in to my liking? Or am I limited to use a certain width/height?

Hi,

1. There’s no limit to the number of pages. But yes, the performance can be affected if your book has a huge number of pages. It is unlikely to happen, but it is possible.

2. Yes, you can configure the width and height of the pages.

Is it possible to remove the download button so that people can only read but not download the file?

Hi,

Yes, you can remove the download button. But keep in mind that the users will still be able to download the pdf file if they know how to do it (for example, by reading the pdf url from the javascript code).

Best regards

Great, I have a look at the demo and all seems good. I am wondering how difficult is to integrate it in a single web page, which will be used to show a restaurant menu. Is it possible to have a look at the documentation how to install the plugin, or first I must buy it ?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Wowbook is a regular jQuery plugin. You write the html page with the html to be used as the book contents, add the plugin javascript and css files and write a bit of javascript code to configure the book. If you have basic html/javascript knowledge you should have no problem in using Wowbook.

About the “integrate in a web page”, i cannot tell for sure because your webpage could a be a simple “plain” html file or a single page web app. What i can say is that Wowbook is as simple as any jQuery plugin out there, if you have experience with a jQuery plugin then Wowbook should be no problem for you.

Best regards

is this possible for wordpress ?

Hi,

Wowbook is a jQuery plugin, not a Wordpress plugin.

A customer who bought the plugin was kind enough to send me a tutorial on how he managed to install the plugin on WordPress. But you don’t have any sophisticated administration interface, you have to write the code to configure the plugin. It is also worth noting that this tutorial is quite old, I don’t know if it still applies to the current version of WordPress.

In short: unless you know how to install and configure a jQuery plugin in Wordpress, I do not recommend buying the license, because in case of a problem with Wordpress I possibly will not be able to help

Hi! Nice plugin and I want to buy it. But I have 2 questions: 1) Does the plugin works well with large pdf files (250-300 pages brochures / 90-100Mb)? 2) WowBook can read PDF files without converting to jpg files? Thanks

Almost forget! Can I add multiple flipbooks on the same webpage?

Hi,

1) To be honest i don’t know, i never test it with files that big. Wowbook uses the library PDFjs to process and render pdf files. PDFjs does basically two steps: process the pdf file(in which it generates javascript code to render the pages) and rendering the pages. Rendering is done on demand, but processing is not. In a 100Mb file with 300 pages the browser will spend a longer than usual time processing the pdf file, which can have a significant impact on the performance, since all is done using javascript. And the performance impact also depends on the content of the pdf file.

2) Wowbook will not convert your pdf file, it will render each page of the file in the browser as a image.

3) Yes, you can. Then again, placing all of these large files on the same page can have a negative impact on performance.

Hope this helps

Hi, does this plugin work with jquery 3.x.x? We use 3.3.1. Thanks!

Yes. But there’s a bug with jQuery 3.3+ and thumbnails in Chrome. A new release with the fix has been sent to Envato and should be published soon.

New release published.

Hi Marcio – Can you show how to change the container background image? The default setting is a background color. If I need to customize which script should I change? Thanks!

Hi,

I answered your e-mail.

Hi there, just wanted to know if this supports linking of images, for example I plan to use this for a product catalogue and would want to link products layed out on a grid to different pages. Is this possible?

Hi,

Yes, Wowbook support linking inside the pages. If you want to use with pdf files there’s a possibility that will not work because the library PDFjs (used by Wowbook) does not support all types of annotations in the pdf standard.

If you want to use with PDF files send me a message through the support tab and give more details.

Bonjour,

I am wondering if this solution will be compatible with CSS & JavaScript Toolbox https://css-javascript-toolbox.com plugin for my website.

I want to use this code management plugin to add your solution to my website please.

Merci, Kym

Bonjour,

Honestly, i have no idea. I never used this plugin, and, as far as i can remember, no customer has told me that they tried to use Wowbook with this plugin. If this plugin can be used with a “regular” jQuery plugin, then my guess is that it should work with Wowbook. But since I can’t guarantee it will work, I cannot recommend for you to buy Wowbook to be used with this plugin.

Hi: I need to add html to a doble page, I bought this (https://codecanyon.net/item/diamond-flipbook-jquery/3146425) but only allows to handle doble pages images, and I need to handle doble pages with a sigle html, is posible do it with this component? Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Yes, but there are some restrictions, though.

Certain types of html elements(like input,select, etc) should not be placed in the middle, extending across both pages. When you flag a page as “double page”, Wowbook will actually split this page into two pages. The original double page is cloned, then both pages are attached to the book as if they are two individual pages, but when rendered side by side they look like the original page that extend over the whole spread. This means that if you have, for instance, a text input element that extend across both pages, on the left page the user will see half of the input element on the left page and half of the clone input element on the right page. What visually appear like a single input element is actually 2 elements. If the user tries to type some text on the input on the left and the typed text extend to the page on the right side, the typed text will not be visible on the right page.

If you need more details you can contact me through the support tab.

Best regards

Hi

Based on its UX design it is comparably more stable and lighter than Wordpress plugins in the market especially on mobile devices.

I am planning to embed it on Wordpress page.

- Have you used unique CSS class names to prevent possible errors?

- Do you think it still works as stable and lighter as in the demo if I embed it on the Wordpress page?

- How many external JS/CSS files do I need to import and should I expect any errors while doing this?

Hi,

Before i answer you questions, i want to make sure that you are aware that Wowbook is not a Wordpress plugin, it is a jQuery plugin. I’m saying that because a lot of people purchased the plugin license thinking it was a Wordpress plugin.

About your questions:

- Have you used unique CSS class names to prevent possible errors?

Yes.

- How many external JS/CSS files do I need to import and should I expect any errors while doing this?

1 javascript file(or 2 if you want to use Wowbook with pdf files) and 1 css file, and several images referenced by the CSS file.

- Do you think it still works as stable and lighter as in the demo if I embed it on the Wordpress page?

I think so, but honestly, i can’t guarantee that. I know that some clients managed to use Wowbook with Wordpress in the past but i don’t know if they are still using.

Hope this helps

Hello, can you please advise if there is a way to add a note or image on the bottom corner, so user knows to click on it to flip? thanks!

Hi,

There’s no built in feature that implement what you asked.

Maybe i can come up with a viable solution. Send me a message though the support tab, the comment section is not a good place to exchange code.

Hi, can I use WowBook on an angular 8 project? (and embed components on the html?)

Hi,

To be honest i don’t know Angular to make this assessment. Wowbook is a regular jquery plugin, if you know how to use a regular jquery plugin in Angular then you should have no problem with wowbook. I can try to help you, but i can’t guarantee that will work.

I strongly recommend to look for a Angular version of a flipbook plugin.

Best Regards
