FlippingBook Joomla Gallery component
 Great functionality with some limitations., January 24, 2008

FlippingBook Joomla Gallery component This component does most of what I was looking for...but has a couple of limitations that will soon be a major problem for me, and in fact I doubt I will be able to use it. I have hundreds of "books"(actually documentation files), which all have multiple pages.

Problem 1: Pages have to be uploaded and stored in a flat directory, and the interface uses a single drop down menu to select from these pages....a 5000 item drop down menu? The author mentions in a response to a request for multiple file folders that you could use explorer or the built-in media manager...which is true you could create and store in multi-folders with those tools(I tried), but the interface for adding books gives no way to select images from these folders.

Problem 2: Printing prints the complete control, not the pages. When clicking on print it should give you the ability to select which pages from the book you want to print and print only those pages at full resolution. A nice option would be able to have a hi-res image associated that could be optionally used for printing.

Suggestion: It would be nice to be able to have a one click PDF creation and download of the book. I'm going to look into a workaround for this through the existing link URL.

A very nice product with excellent potential, but I think the above limitations must be solved before this tool is completely usable.

Thanks.
