cant add book to a group
You can have book name in Hebrew. Url name for the book will be in ascii (because some other components in our eco system can not handle unicode names). In your case this is happening because your book has hidden status. If it was not hidden it woul…

Removing or modifying shared snippets
Hundreds of snippets? What are you doing with them, if it is not a secret? :) No, when the snippets were created there was no idea of their management or of their content (from the web interface). Clearly, this is something we should put on the road…

user control
Hi Randall! You are correct, Django Admin interface is not automatically turned on in Booktype 1.6. If you do want it all you have to do is uncomment couple of lines in $BOOKTYPE_SOURCE/lib/booki/url.py file. It should like like this: # By default D…

Booktype - integration support for CMIS (i.e. Alfresco, Sharepoint, etc)
Hi Darren, yes, it would be a good add on. We haven't had that requirements so far. At the moment people are interested to fetch images from other repositories (the plan is to include Media Library from one other Sourcefabric product). Fetching…

Problem installing Objavi
You should probably install redis library for Objavi with pip. Redis library which comes with Booktype has been modified to be thread safe, it is not standard redis library and is probably missing VERSION in the version which was modified. Booktype …

Booktype is very slow : is it normal ?
Hi! It happens in certain situations but not that often at all. We do have in roadmap one task to clean this up from time to time in Redis but not sure when it will be. Until then when it gets very very slow just delete the dump (or disable the save…

Booktype is very slow : is it normal ?
Hi! It should not be so slow. Was it always so slow or it become slow over time? What you should check is your redis settings. You really don't need to save memory dump to disk, or if you do want that you should not save it so often. So in /et…

Booktype and cover images
You want to install it on Windows 7? Booktype and Objavi are not supported on Windows platform. Booktype could work on Windows (there is win32 port of redis, there is win32 postgresql, there is support for needed libraries) but it has not been teste…

it's possible to import an epub book uploading a file?
That is correct. For importing from other Booktype instances it goes directly to other Booktype server.

Profile pics
Hi, you have your own installation of Booktype or you created free instance on booktype.pro? If you have your own installation then $BOOKTYPEPROJECT/data/profile_images/ directory must be writable by user who is running webserver. Also, PIL (Python …

it's possible to import an epub book uploading a file?
Hi Lluis, it is not possible at the moment. There are two components here, one is Booktype (for editing) and Objavi (for publishing and importing). Import is done on the Objavi service and not Booktype so because of the current architecture it is a …

HTTP 500 error sending emails from within Booktype
Hi Giovanni, there are couple of bugs which are fixed in devel branch (or Booktype 1.5.4) connected with this issue. One is that Booktype would break if it was not able to send email locally (that is why you get response code 500 for [14/Dec/2012 15…

Licenses not showing up predictably in copyright div
There is a small issue with this and to bypass the problem all CC licenses are marked as CC-BY. CC-BY is also default license in some cases. This will be fixed very soon.

Deploying to OPENSHIFT Express - WIP

Can I define custom styles in Booktype?
Hi Adam, you can check the Book Design section in the manual for the details: http://en.flossmanuals.net/booktype/css/ . You would need to edit CSS in the publishing wizards and not in the HTML for given chapter. We are aware this is not as nice as …

Import epub Book in Booktype
Ok, so i tried the first epub and it works for me. I think the problem might be it is not really URL from where epub could be downloaded by the script. I have copied it to my site here and you can use this url to test it - http://podaci.binarni.org/…

Import epub Book in Booktype
Ciao Giacomo, could you give us URL to this existing epub so we can try ourselves? Library which we use for parsing EPUB sometimes breaks and this seems to be the case this time. Aco

Missing functionality?
You are not missing anything. Only super user administrator can delete books in the backend editor. We left it that way mainly for the security issue.

Examples needed for THIS_BOOKI_SERVER and BOOKI_URL
You need to use existing Objavi server [service used for publishing books] or install it on your own machine. In both cases Objavi is trying to fetch content of the book over http. That is why Objavi must have access to your Booktype server on your …

Booktype, Booki, Objavi - CON-FU-SED!
There are two things you can do. If your Booktype is hosted on public IP you can set: OBJAVI_URL = "http://objavi.booktype.pro/objavi.cgi" in settings.py file (depending of how you host it you might need to restart Booktype). The othe…

What does "Set new language" in Settings ?
This is as option which should tell Objavi to use options of "Right To Left" writing and organize books according to language on the Booktype side. It assumes it is english by default and you can ignore this option for now. Devel branch do…
