Shared Hosting Installation?
It is not possible to install it on a shared hosting environment. You must have a dedicated or virtual server to run it.

Problem with pdf output
Problem is in that image of a flower. That image takes 100% of space and text size resizes accordingly. Either put smaller image or put css style IMG { max-width: 500px;} [or something like similar]. When you are editing image you don't see rea…

Installing Booktype on Ubuntu 12.04
Considering the last line "Could not reliably determine..." could you check your /etc/apache2/sites-available/booktype-vhost config file and check ServerName configuration matches whatever you have in /etc/hosts file. You could also get th…

Installing Booktype on Ubuntu 12.04
Did you get some kind of error? Do you get any kind of errors in the Apache error log? Ubuntu 12.04 comes with Python 2.7 and i Django 1.3.1 so that magic with sys.path.insert is not important and would not work anyways. You had to do it only becaus…

Sub chapters and duplicate chapter name
You can have duplicate chapters. It is only important for chapters to have unique url id. When you create chapter unique url id will be created but later you can just rename chapter title. Renaming chapter title will not create new id. So it means..…

broken download link
You have two options. One (recommended) is to install your own Objavi. Borko (who is working on Objavi) is just cleaning it and fixing install instructions for it in the devel branch (https://github.com/sourcefabric/Objavi/blob/devel/INSTALL.txt). T…

Book does not exist!
Ah yes... i forgot to load licenses during the initialization :) I have fixed that now. Download this script again, remove mybooktype directory it created and start it again. I tested it on Ubuntu 12.04 and i am able to create books now. Until it ha…

I have been working on a script for people who have manually downloaded some packages or have outdated packages on their system.... In short, can you try to download this script and try to run it. It is first version and has been tested a bit on cou…

Book does not exist!
What was the exact book title you used for the book? For some unknown reason it was not able to create new book. Could be problem with title name, maybe cover image, licenses were not initially loaded and etc. Did you try some other names? Depending…

removing a group through the new admin panel
Yes, send me info over e-mail. This has been tested before and I tried to reproduce your steps now. It works, but will be interesting to see why it does not work for you. I don't have shell access to that machine but will try to see what i can …

removing a group through the new admin panel
"My Groups" really show you groups you are member of and not groups you own. You don't see that group because you did not put yourself as a member. Why is it like that? Just because group interface or workflows with groups is not deve…

EBook Publishing Issue
Reply to @Flo0502: In file objavi/config.py for SERVER_DEFAULTS = {} where you are defining your Booktype clients you must have 'interface': 'Booki'. You probably have 'TWiki'. Scream if it is not the case!

BTW, which git repository did you use to download your copy of Objavi?

Beer for me! :) Yes.. seems like TMPDIR variable must start with content of HTDOCS variable. The problem is this makes tmp directory public and open to the world, but you can configure apache to make it not accessible.

EBook Publishing Issue
Can you check your objavi/config.py and TMPDIR variable. Is it TMPDIR = 'htdocs/tmp' ? The problem you have is before starting wkhtmltopdf Objavi will check if paths to temporarily created files are where Objavi is installed. If it is not,…

Issue with uploading profile image, cover
Hard to say. Either you don't have installed Python Image Library or PIL can't read that specific image. Can you just paste "http://booktype.local/_utils/profilethumb/seng/thumbnail.jpg?width=48" in your browser and see what kind…

Reply to @Vibol+Seng: Objavi needs to access bookizip.py which is inside of Booktype source. So, in your case you need to have source of Booktype somewhere in PYTHONPATH to make this error go away. We are doing some structural changes in Objavi and …

Importing documents
Heh... hard to say :) This part of code does not check if pdf file was produces. It executes external program which reads pdf file and outputs on stdout number of pages. External program shows some error, there is no "Pages" string on stdo…

Ah... This could be anything really :) - Objavi does not have url where to fetch the book - There are some errors in HTML so pdf can not be produced Check the logs on Objavi side... That should help you.

Maximum amount of users?
Kind of.... Problem is if you are doing it from the same browser, but in general if you have 20 different tabs on _edit interface (can be the same user) it would be ok. Even with 15+ people not everyone will be clicking save button at the same time,…

Maximum amount of users?
This depends heavily of your server and network (if these people are for instance in the same room) configuration. Hard to say :)

Importing documents
Yes you can. In fact, that is how we are running it. What kind of funny results do you get? You should configure Booktype with url to your Objavi instance and configure Objavi (objavi/config.py) with info about your Booktype instance. Objavi will no…

Booktype - Commandline - creating a chapter
It all depends.... If you look at the Booktype as collaborative interface where couple of people is editing a book, you shouldn't do direct insert on anything :) But if you work with offline site or book that is not being edited by anyone that …

It is here - https://github.com/sourcefabric/ObjaviParts of the instructions are outdated (git repository and etc for instance). Also, Calibre (for mobi output) is missing in the list of required software.

Importing documents
One component of Objavi is called Espri and it is used for importing content from other sources. At the moment you can import book from archive.org, epub book, or other book from Booktype source (and before you could import books from wikibooks). It…

Is there a way to install Booktype on a Mac running Lion?
Let me tell you a little secret.... It is being developed on Mac OSX :) What version of OSX you have? Django 1.4 will not work on Python 2.6.1 which comes with Snow Leopard. Needs 2.6.5 or more because now argument keys can be unicode. Anyhoo, it wo…

Upgrading from Booki1.4 to Booktype 1.5
Hi Mark, when doing upgrade there is no need for the same steps as in install process. You already have working database filled with existing user and book data. Steps also depends of how long do you want to be offline during the upgrade process. An…

Trying to get ip address to work
Are you trying to make it work with apache (wsgi steps) or with python built in server (django-admin runserver part)? You really should use just one method. You can run it with built in web server, apache2 or nginx. You mentioned "server is ru…

Installation Error in Ubuntu 12.04
Ah yes... they changed couple of things in Django 1.4. You will have to change template loaders as well. Now you have something (in settings.py file) like:TEMPLATE_LOADERS = ( 'django.template.loaders.filesystem.load_template_source', …

Hi Mike,Booktype still works with older version of Django configuration and you are using latest version (Django 1.4). We plan to change it very very soon but until then you should manually change it in settings.py file.At the moment you have someth…
