Are you using built-in server to run it? If so, you should run: django-admin runserver : or for example: django-admin runserver 4.4.4.4:8080

Authors list
There is a macro for this. You just write ##AUTHORS## somewhere in chapter (output can be customized a bit). List of authors will not be visible in editor but is visible if you go to draft or published version of a chapter.

After installing booktype I cannot view it.
Are you running it over apache/nginx or with builtin python web server? If you are using last method, you should bind the server to the public ip address... for instance: django-admin.py runserver 192.168.1.6:8000 If you don't specify it it …

Install / URL Problems
Hi Ross, so i tried to run it on ngix as fastcgi and works fine for me. There are couple of things. First of all, you don't need to copy anything. Your Booktype source and Booktype project don't need to be at the same place or in the same…

Reply to @Slim+Slam: Hi... "dot" is just a shortcut for: "source ./booki.env". Go to the directory where you installed Booktype project and type "source booki.env". That should be it.

Why TinyMCE over CKeditor? (And is it possible to choose my own)
You can't just like that switch editors. There are parts of JavaScript code in the Booktype editor that assume you are using TinyMCE. Specifically this is part where TinyMCE is initialized, when content is set and when content is fetched from t…
