Error installing Book Type when it comes to syncdb
Booktype 2.0 (current development version) is really Django 1.5 and Django 1.6 friendly. Besides needing to put backslash in couple of options there are also changes in the API. Considering this, and like it is mentioned in the documentation, it is …

Booktype Pro Vs. Self Hosted
Hi Brittany! Booktype Pro instance is installed on our servers and it will get unique name. For instance: http://aco.booktype.pro/. Anyone who wants to use it will be able to login and edit. For more info you can check link Bernard has pasted. Aco

Cannot create section
Hi! Does creation of chapters works maybe? If not, then you probably don't have Redis server started in the background. If you do have, then problem might be somewhere else. Aco

Creating Sub-Chapters
Hi Brittany! You could make Introduction and Chapter 1 sections (they are just markers, they don't have content like chapters) and other items could be chapters. This would make structure like you described. Aco

Formatting Links
Hi Brittany! PDF is styled using CSS, just like web sites are. For instance, on Demo site links are forced not to be underlined and in black color. I don't know how much you are familiar with CSS but this is for instance style for links "a…

Booktype Pro Plus Customization
Hi Philipp! That "by color and logo" customization is really just changing the CSS files. That for sure limits your freedom what you can do. Example which you mention also included changing the template files and installing some additional…

Unknown command: 'collectstatic'
Hi! Current version is not compatible with Django 1.5 (New development version 2.0 is compatible with 1.5 and 1.6). You need older version of Django to make it work. Check requirements/_base.txt and requirements/postgresql.txt files for correct vers…

As administrator of Booktype instance you can go to "Control Center" -> "Settings" -> "Publish Options" / "Default settings" and edit it there. Aco

Can't get Booktype to show up
Hi Do you have defined "127.0.0.1 booktype.localhost" in /etc/hosts? It should be defined there and in apache configuration for booktype site you should have "ServerName booktype.localhost". Aco

Adding JavaScript to HEAD of an HTML book
Hi Peter, I assume you are talking about ebooks? At the moment you can edit audio/video tags in TinyMCE editor but there are some issues (TinyMCE really loves to rewrite your tags) with it. Epub will include that video/audio but epub will not valida…

Hi Ross! Will take a look at the settings on your instance today. Aco

Make book visible only to group?
Hi Ross! They should see message "You have no permissions to do this!" and not book content. If your book has "hidden" status and you limited access to "admins and editors" anonymous users and other users in the system …

Make book visible only to group?
Hi Ross! There is a small issue with this in the interface. I was planning to fix it in the current development version but I am not sure I will have enough time. This is what you should do. Book should have that "hide from others" status.…

More restrictive license available?
Hi Ross! List of licenses could be easily managed in Control Center to suit your needs. You can find more info here - http://en.flossmanuals.net/booktype/control-center/ . Control Center is visible only to Booktype administrator and link is visible …

Book Status?
When it comes to messaging there are couple of nice visual things which could be done: - like you mention, parsing usernames and urls into links - fold out/in in case of embeded snippet - editing existing message (to fix snippet, reupload image) - d…

I can generate books from Objavi, Booktype cannot communicate with Objavi!
I guess you are using devel branch. This is something we noticed last week. Booktype sends URL to Objavi where the cover is located. If by any chance domain name does not have "." (or is not named localhost) regular expression in Django wi…

EBook Publishing Issue
Hi Marcelo! Put this as your config (you are missing booktype at the end) and it should work: THIS_BOOKI_SERVER ='76.187.190.29:8080/booktype' BOOKI_URL = 'http://76.187.190.29:8080/booktype' Aco

EBook Publishing Issue
Hi Marcelo! 1) Looking at the log files in (2) I would say this is what you need to do. Edit settings.py and change this: THIS_BOOKI_SERVER = '187.60.224.18/booktype' BOOKI_URL = 'http://187.60.224.18/booktype' I assume…

New installation on Ubuntu 12.04. Unable to connect to objavi server, unable to create own
It is OK, but you probably would like to organise it a bit and have it in /usr/local/src/ or maybe /home/Kof/src/ directory.

New installation on Ubuntu 12.04. Unable to connect to objavi server, unable to create own
If your server has public IP (where you are running Booktype) and is accessible from outside you could easily use objavi.booktype.pro (predefined configuration) for Objavi server. When it comes to the installation, it was late when i was answering a…

Well, you should have source for Objavi and Booktype at different locations. Something like: /home/Kof/src/Booktype/ /home/Kog/src/Objavi/ and then you should do: cd /home/Kog/src/Objavi/ ./scripts/create_site --with-booktype /home/Kof/src/Booktyp…

Ok, so let us assume (just an example) you downloaded Booktype source into /usr/local/src/Booktype/ directory. This is not where you have create Booktype site but where the source is downloaded from github.In that case you should start that script a…

Hi! Where seems to be the problem? What kind of problems are you having now? You really don't need to upgrade or downgrade your Ubuntu to make it work. Aco

Error installing Book Type when it comes to syncdb
Hi Micz! I already answered on the mailing list but will do it just in case someone else has the same issue. You should read official documentation just because it is up to date: - file doc/deployment/Ubuntu.md - https://wiki.sourcefabric.org/displa…

I can generate books from Objavi, Booktype cannot communicate with Objavi!
Hi! If it works from Objavi then these are the options you should look in Objavi: OBJAVI_URL = "http://my/" # example 1 In the latest version of Objavi (when it was rewritten into Django) there is no need for objavi.cgi in the OBJAVI_…

True... true.. Do you have one of our Booktype Pro instances or you installed it yourself? This is a small issue where for the name of the book we use short url name and not full title. I will add this issue to our tracker and if you have Booktype P…

Status "New" is for the Chapters (I assume you are talking about the TOC). There is a predefined list of them and you can easily change it according to your workflows. If you go to "My Dashboard" and then "My Books" you…
