Import in Booktype v2
Hi Kyle, we are finishing some missing features (like proper publish, export, ...) and fixing bugs for the next month or so. After that we will pass it to our QA department. Depends how much time it will take them but it would be fair to assume we w…

Automated install - error on UbuntuServer 14.04 and Debian 7

Demonstration Server???
Hi Jaime! Clearly, it will be easier to upgrade from existing 2.0. The structure of files, configuration files and etc has changed from 1.6, so some manual tuning will be required for this. Besides that, data will be easily converted from 1.6. That…

Demonstration Server???
Hi Jaime! Yes, nicely spotted. It is clearly wrong. The text is leftover from the mockup screen designer did. I will write a ticket for this and as Albert mention it is still in beta. Aco

Booktype 2.0 Demo - can't create Section/Chapter
Hi Rob! Well, there is no reason why you shouldn't be able to create new Section or Chapter on your own book. You are owner of that book and clearly have all the required permissions for this. I just checked it on the demo site with my test boo…

Import in Booktype v2
Hi Kyle! You are correct, that feature is missing in the interface at the moment. Part of the backend code is already there and we have implemented it fully in our custom project. We just need to back port it back into Booktype 2.0. There is managem…

Automated install - error on UbuntuServer 14.04 and Debian 7
Hi Graabein! The best option would be to install Booktype 1.6 (http://sourcefabric.booktype.pro/booktype-16-for-authors-and-publishers/_draft/_v/1.0/before-you-install/) because 2.0 (from debian package) is still not finished. To answer your questio…

Should minified JavaScript files be in the git repository?
Hi Daniel! I would say that correct way would be to have unminified source files in our repository also. We are using django-compressor library which does compresson and modification for most of the JavaScript in the production profile. That is don…

Can't create/edit chapter..
Hi Christian! You might not have running Redis server or there is some problem with it. These are exactly places where Redis is being used (create chapter, edit chapter) and why your browser is stuck with "loading chapter data" message. Aco

Hi George! Yes, there are some differences in API between Pillow and PIL. Latest development version works with Pillow but 1.6 still requires PIL to work. Aco

Objavi error on installation
Hi George! I am not 100% sure but I would say you need to change to newer configuration option for engine (because you have Django 1.4). So from....DATABASE_ENGINE = 'sqlite3'DATABASE_NAME = '%s/objavi.db' % OBJAVI_DIRDATABASE_US…

How to use objavi??

Hi! Can you give me url where your book is being hosted (or you can send me over the private message if you don't want others to see it) so I could check where the problem might be? Aco

Problem to publish iPad version, no picture
Hi Tarjaleena! The problem might be if images were not uploaded but you are using reference to external images. If you do that images will be visible in the editor (and PDF) but not visible in exported EPUB. Aco

How I can integrate with booktype the etherpad editor?
Hi Walter, You wouldn't be able to integrate it easily with Booktype's front end interface. What would be possible probably is taking output from Etherpad and feeding our publishing engine with that content with PDF or EPUB output. Not sur…

Hi Jutta! It is not included at the moment and you would need to use older version (older version supports EPUB 2). But you could get EPUB manually. This EPUB file is pure dump of the content and is missing cover page, some extra filtering and etc. …
