In mobile/responsive view I need it to force landscape and fullscreen. (I will have a clear ‘escape’ button) Reason is that I need maximum screen real estate and users do not intuitively click buttons for that or even think of rotating their screen.
Can you advise?
Hi,
Unfortunately, the browser full screen API is not available in iOS and android http://caniuse.com/#search=fullscreen.
As far as i can tell, you can’t lock on landscape mode. This link have some suggestions you might try : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5298467/prevent-orientation-change-in-ios-safariHope that helps

Hi, can I chang page fliping animation speed slightly faster?
Thanks.
Hi,
Yes, you can configure the animation speed.
Hi,
- Does it support RTL languages?
- Can I build table of contents for the book? (In another words, does the API provide a method to jump for specific page).
Thanks!
Hi,
1. Yes 2. Yes. There’s a API to jump for specific page, but you can create anchor links to the pages as well.
Cheers
.
That’s geat. Do you have a demo for RTL book?
No, i don’t. And unfortunately i don’t have the time to make one right now, sorry for that.
But if you have any question about a specific feature i will be glad to answer.
Cheers
I am making a PhoneGap app with WowBook and it looks good. But I’m facing with big problem: On lot of pages I have more than 3 objects (text, video, picture placeholders etc). But I cannot scroll text inside a div on iOS (I’m not sure for Android). Can you help me to solve problem? Miodrag
Hi,
Send me a email with a url to your site, i will take a look and try to find the problem.
Cheers
Why the Plugin has not a print Function? Can you add this?
CSS print it’s a pain to implement (and debug) correctly. It’s in my plans to implement it, but i can’t give you a deadline. Sorry.

Olá! Excelente trabalho! Valeu cada centavo.
Existe algo já encaminhado para limitar a área de drag quando em zoom? Quando isto ocorre eu consigo arrastar a imagem até ela quase não estar mais visível na tela =/
Obrigado!
Oi,
Que bom que está satisfeito. 
Quando voce ‘deszooma’, o livro volta a posição inicial dele. Mas eu concordo com voce, eu não gosto do livro sumindo da tela, o problema é que não achei um jeito satisfatório de limitar essa áre de drag.
Uma opção que pensei foi limitar pelo centro do livro sem o zoom. Por exemplo, suponha que sem o zoom, o centro do livro coincide com o centro da tela. Apos o zoom, o usuario só poderia arrastar o livro para a esquerda até a borda direita do livro chegar ao meio tela. A mesma logica valeria para as outras bordas do livro. Se o que eu disse fez sentido, o que acha ?
Se tiver alguma sugestão pode mandar também.
hi, have a question.
Is it possible to plug in dynamic data, such as
$('#book').wowBook({
width: 800
, height: 540
,Data:[]});Hi,
It is possible, if you do this you will have the data stored the book options object, but it’s not recommended. I suggest to use the standard jquery data method
$('#book').data("Data", []);
Best regards
Hy, I would like to purchase your plugin. But does it work in fullscreen mode in internet explorer and especially safari?
Good day!
Hi,
It works only on browsers that support the full screen API, you can see browsers support here : http://caniuse.com/#feat=fullscreen

Is there a way to insert a page a a given index? As far as I can tell, pages can only be inserted at the end. This would be helpful if it’s not already there!
Hi,
No, there’s not. I thought that people would ask for this, but i was wrong (you’re the first one to ask in more than 2000 sales). If you know javascript you can try this:
- insert the page using method insertPage
- in the array pages, ‘cut’ the last last element(the page that you just inserted) and re-insert it into the index that you want.
- call the method updateBook
- tell me if it worked ( i’m curious )
Hope that helps
Cheers
I’m surprised it wasn’t more requested! That did work fairly well. It created a few display bugs with how the book as a whole renders, but I think I can fix that. Thanks for the quick support
I’ve been going at it for a while but I’ve been unable to figure out how to get the book to layout correctly on update. I don’t think that direct changes to the pages array are reflected in the view very well by default. I’ll let you know if I can figure anything out though
Hi,
I’ve tried this here and it seems to work
var book = $.wowBook("#your-book-id-element");
book.insertPage("<div>foobar</div>", false);
var last = book.pages.splice(-1);
// insert at index 2
book.pages.splice(2, 0, last[0]);
book.updateBook();
But i did a quick test, you need to test it better.
Cheers
Interesting, that worked perfectly. I was doing almost the same thing, but the key was passing the false parameter to the insertPage method, otherwise it struggled with re-rendering the book. Thanks!
That’s unexpected for me, because the “false” parameter should not have made any difference. But it’s working, and that’s what matter.
I will implement this in some future plugin update.
Cheers
Hello,
May I ask you that can I define my own button on the toolbar?
Thank you!
Hi,
Yes you can. The toolbar you see on live preview is plain html, if you have basic knowledge of html you can edit it.
Hope that helps

hi, I purchased this yesterday and still confusing about documentation, do you have video tutorial to make easiest for create ebook?
1. I want create some page with image, background, text and button for hyperlink, but dont know how to do this _?
2. how to put my video file from my computer (not using youtube or flash)?
thanks for your help.
Hi,
Unfortunately, there’s no video tutorial, sorry.
1. What step exactly you did not understand? I need to know so i don’t commit the same mistake when i explain to you how to use it.
2 You can include mp4 videos using the html5 video tag, but not all browsers support that. For those browsers, you probably will have to use a flash based player.
There’s a wedding album example in directory “examples” and the source code of the live preview in the directory “preview”. Maybe you can use those examples as a starting point.
I strongly recommend that this should be done by a person with basic knowledge of html/javascript/css. If you don’t have this knowledge, i recommend you to hire someone to do it.
If you need further assistance, can you contact me through email? Go to http://codecanyon.net/user/maguiar01 and look at the end of the page. It’s easier to exchange code or files.
Hope that helps
Best regards
I purchased this 2 days ago. Love it- good job. Thanks.
One challenge though – After a zoom-in I need to be able to move the page to read the text. Is that possible? In other words, when a double-page is zoomed-in it is zoomed in the center of the 2 pages and for a landscape document it makes it impossible to read the page that is left out of the screen.
I was reading the documentation to find a solution and I’m not sure if I couldn’t find it or if it’s not available.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards!
Hi,
I think you downloaded the bugged version that was uploaded on friday. The fixed version is waiting for the CodeCanyon review process to release it.
If you really need it, contact me through email and i will sent the fixed version to you. Otherwise, CodeCanyon should release the new version soon. The only difference is the zoom, all the rest works exactly the same.
Cheers
Thanks for the quick reply. I just sent you an email.
Answered your email.
Cheers
Premium support! Great job!
Thanks again!
One more question if you would.
Is there a way to add a button to zoom out to default size?
In other words after several zoom-in clicks the document can be zoomed in several times then it would be useful to have an extra button next to zoom-in / zoom-out to take the document back to it’s default size by one single click.
Thanks in advance.
Yes you can, i emailed you how to do it.
Cheers
Thanks a lot. I added the snippet. Cheers
We are looking to buy your flipping book template but have few questions.
Can you please tell us which product license we should buy?
1. We want to showcase our multiple author book excerpts in flipping book format in our site www.freado.com.
2. We want our author to share their flip book excerpt (flipping book widget) on their website, blog, facebook page. All the book excerpt pages will be loaded from our domain www.freado.com
So help us in making our purchase decision.
Hi Dermot,
This plugin is sold only under the CodeCanyon’s Regular License. You can read it here http://codecanyon.net/licenses and here http://codecanyon.net/licenses/regular , and a FAQ is located here http://codecanyon.net/licenses/faq .
I’m not the right person to tell you if the license suits your case or not. I think that you should ask CodeCanyon support. Remember to give them all the information about how you will use the plugin, like you did it here.
Best regards
I am having trouble getting the page to stay on an ASP.net postback on the page. I tried to have the postback happen in an AJAX update panel, but that broke all kinds of stuff. How can I set the page on postback so it can stay on the same page.
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#features').wowBook({
height: 700,
width: 1100
, turnPageDuration: 1000
, centeredWhenClosed: true
, scaleToFit: "#container"
, onShowPage: function (book, page, pageIndex) {
document.getElementById('hidPage').value = pageIndex;
},
startPage: document.getElementById('hidPage').value
}).css({ 'display': 'none', 'margin': 'auto' });
});
that is what I have right now…
Hi Jason,
I know squat about ASP.net, so forgive me for any wrong assumptions from my part. Seems that you are reloading a part of the page, the book is in this part, and after this part is reloaded you want to recreate the book in the same page that was before the reload. On theory, you did it right, but obviously something is not working. I would check if the “document.getElementById(‘hidPage’).value” is really being “saved” before and after the ajax call. But all this is really a guess. Send me a email with a url of your site and i will take a look and see if i can help.
Cheers
I was able to get it working… the only change I did to get it working was putting this..
var vPage = document.getElementById('hidPage').value;
and then set the startPage with…
startPage: parseInt(vPage),
It seemed to need an int.
Hi Jason,
I’m glad you fixed the problem.
Cheers
Can we open the flipbook with a double-page (and not a 1/2 page cover) or can we configure a same size for covers and pages?
Hi,
To open the book in a double-page just use the configuration option “startPage”. The pages and covers are the same size already, you can’t make them with different sizes.
Best regards.
OK, it works. Thanks! But when I go back to the first page via the first page button or the back button, this first page returns to a one page.
I’m sorry, i misunderstood you.
There’s no builtin feature to do what you want. This will be implemented, it’s one of the top 3 features next in the list, but i can’t give you a deadline.
As a workaround, i suggest to create a “fake page” outside the book. Position this fake page in the same position that the pages in left side of the book appears.
I know this is not a optimal solution, but works.
Best regards
Sorry, I don’t understand how I can code this ! Regards, Philippe
Hi Philippe,
took the html element that you’re using to hold the content of the first page of the book(let’s call it page1). Place it outside the div used to create book. Then, using CSS properties “position”, “left” and “top”, position the element page1 in the same spot that the book’s left page are displayed. If you don’t know CSS/html, you probably will need someone to do it for you.
Hope that it make sense.
Best regards
How can i change the size of the zoom panel?
on ie8 when I click the zoom in ( I have zoomStep: 2,) it cuts off the right hand side on the brochure so i cant view everything.
is this a bug or am i doing something wrong?
Thanks
Hi Daniel, I need to see what is happening to try to fix the problem. As i said in my previous message, send me a email with a url (or your files) and i will see what i can do to fix this.
Best regards
Hi there,
I was browsing the comments to see if I can modify the plugin to just display 1 page instead of 2. This doesn’t seem to be possible from some ancient comments, has this changed recently? Or is there a workaround?
Love the plugin, but for the project I’m working on now the single page view is the only requirement…
Hi,
No, this feature is not implemented yet. Sorry
Best regards
Ah shame
Thanks for the fast reply though! Love it when people take support seriously
You’re welcome
can you do a hover zoom on a thumb nail?
Hi Daniel,
No. What do you mean exactly by “hover zoom on a thumb nail”? There’s any site where i can see a example of this?
Thanks!
something like this http://neltondsouza.com/form/imgzoom/index.html
also how are you getting on with the mobile pinch and zoom?
Ah, now i got it. I was think in something a little different. You probably can do this with javascript, but requires custom programming. There’s no built in feature.
Pinch to zoom is almost done, just need to kill some bugs. But it’s coming, have faith
Cheers
cool thanks, one more thing and ill leave you alone after this lol, i cant get the #container to resize in ie8. it works ok but it is cutting off the bottom of my book..
Hi,
The responsive feature does not work on IE8 (it’s written in red in the live preview). My suggestion is to create a book with the ‘correct’ size for IE8 and let the plugin resize it in other browsers. If this is not the problem, send me a email with a url (or your files) and i will see what i can do to fix this.
Cheers
Three questions: 1 – You can remove the automatic numbering? 2 – It is possible to use one image for the whole page? 3 – You can change the default resolution of the pages?
Hi,
1- Yes
2- Yes
3- If by resolution you mean if you can change the height/width of the book, then yes, it’s possible. If that’s not what you mean can you try to explain in other words? (pode falar em portugues que tá tranquilo )
Cheers
Obrigado pelo retorno!
E a terceira pergunta era sobre isso mesmo, quero alterar a altura/largura do livro.
Obrigado pela resposta e Parabéns pelo desenvolvimento, ficou muito legal!
Até mais!
De nada e obrigado
Até mais
hi, thank you for this tool that I find very attractive. But I have a big problem: since many weeks I try but I don’t find how link a word (locate outside of the book, and the book not showed in the same page of the word, so it’s different to the weeding exemple) to the book in a specific page. apparently after a hundred of test to do that we must been already in the book. explain me how to do please. thanks
(Sorry for my bad english)
Hi,
Don’t worry, english is not my native language too.
But i did not understand your problem. Can you send me a email with your files or a url where i can see them? Can you explain the problem in other words? Try to use short phrases. In my experience, Google translator works better with short phrases.
Best regards.
i send you an email with the website url, and the archive. and i also explain in other word what is the problem thank you for according me times !
I will take a look, thanks
