Hi! I'm Italian (so my English is bad...) and I am not an expert on php or megazine3 but I had many difficulties managing this module so I want help you now that I figured it out a little.

  • First step: where can I manage settings? There is not a link in mysite/admin/settings so you'll find your megazine3 setting in yoursite/admin/settings/pageflip/megazine3. Here I set in "Book tag attributes":
    lang="it"
    pagewidth="420"
    pageheight="594"
    plugins="anchors, backgroundsounds, bookmarks, gallery, keyboardnavigation, links, navigationbar, options, slideshow, titles, links"
    bgcolor="#ffffff"
    minscale="0.5"
    maxscale="1.5"
    foldfx="2.5"
    pagethickness="0.2"
    bggradient="true"
    About "Back cover node id:" first you have to create a "Pageflip Page" for the cover and annotate its id.
    I leaved all the remaining settings the same as default.
  • Second step: how can I create a book? Firs of all I prepare my images. I create two set of images. The first set with images 420x594 and the second one with images 840x1180 (double dimensions). Please pay attention! These dimensions are my personal one and I changed them inside the page flip module in pageflip_mz3_viewer/pageflip-mz3-viewer-page-xml.tpl.php in this way: <img width="420" height="594" aa="true">.
  • Third step: now I am ready to start with mysite/node/add/ and I choose first of all "PageFlip Page" uploading page by page both high resolution image and low resolution image. I'm not able to see the resut of my page now. I must create a chapter and a book in order to see the result.
  • Four: in mysite/node/add/ choose "PageFlip Chapter". Here add your pageflip pages created before. Save and in mysite/node/add/ choose "PageFlip Book". Add your chapter and your cover and that's all!

You can choose the options for your book (set in admin/settings/pageflip/megazine3) looking inside Megazine 3 documentation: http://www.megazine3.de/doc/Book and understand something about Adaptive Zoom here: http://www.megazine3.de/doc/Adaptive_Zoom. Your pages will zoom scrolling the mouse. I hope this post may be helpful. Romina

In order to show titles of each page when mouse is over the page, I add few lines of code inside pageflip_mz3_viewer/pageflip-mz3-viewer-page-xml.tpl.php:

<page<?php print $page_attributes ?> >
        <img width="420" height="594" aa="true">
          <src scale="0.5"><?php print $image_low ?></src>
          <src scale="1.0"><?php print $image_low ?></src>
          <src scale="1.5"><?php print $image_high ?></src>
 <title lang="it"><![CDATA[ <?php
print $pageflip_page->title ?>]]></title>
        </img>
       </page>

hai , thanks for your above post. it shows me how to create pageflip book. As per your instruction, first i created one "Pageflip Page" and then i used that page node id in megazine3 setting page for "Back cover node id".

I left remaining settings in megazine3 setting page as default and save the configuration.

After that, i created six "pageflip pages" and two "pageflip chapters"with those "pageflip pages" and finally created a "pageflip book" by adding those two "pageflip chapters" with that. but after saving the pageflip book,nothing happened and i didn't see anything like flipbook.it shows page title without any images . please tell me anything i have to do to bring pageflip book as like http://carpechaos.com/stories/moments-elation#/0

Advance Thanks

Sorry for my late answer: I don't know how to solve your problem but in a week I will create a new flip book and after that maybe I will have more suggestions... Romina
