Description
Hi,
I dunno if this is the case now, but if not, would be a useful feature, to be able to use an iPaper node as a CCK field. This way we can have an article, or page, with several node types, text, image, AND iPaper.
As I'm trying to find a way to include pdf files into my node and display them to the user.
Thanks

Try `quickswitch` option in iPaper module configuration.

hi @noomz,
i am using Ipaper Module on my drupal site. Ipaper content type is working fine. But i want to use Ipaper in another content type as file attachment, so i am using Quickswitch. i pasted code directly from Scribd, but i get error Could not slurp (Error No. 519). how to get rid out of this problem?

Great idea and great project!
I second the request for CCK. Quick switch is an option, but havng a field that allows you to handle this within CCK allows you to fully expliot the power of Ipaper and ck together. example would be .. add menus to listings of dinning locations.... chapters or indexes to books. notes to projects and tasks. etc...
the only currect way to user this... while retaining.. full control over the look is using the ipaper content type and not by adding ipaper fields to cent type that you create.

Thanks for re-tagging. The module is close to the 1.0 stable release and after that I agree that the next step would be to begin work on a 2.0 branch for Drupal 6 which would offer this as a CCK field.
Are there any coders with CCK experience that would be willing to help with this?

A workaround for people who want "matching" ipaper PDF's to display alongside other nodes:
Use the nodesinblock module to pull ipaper teasers into other nodes. Into a sidebar region, for instance.
The thumbnail shows up and clicking it takes you to the ipaper node where the PDF is displayed inside the scribd widget.
You have to type each "matching" node path into the "Visibility Settings" of the node, which is inelegant, but this is tolerable for small/slow-moving sites.
Looking forward to CCK integration! Thanks to rares for your efforts so far.

I've released 6.x-1.0, which has many improvements over the previous versions. This should hopefully be a very solid solution for the months to come.
So I've created the 6.x-2 branch, which will host the working code for a version that is based off CCK. Does anyone think that this module should work with the filefield addon for CCK? As soon as we have any even minimally functional patches (you can send entire files, no need to create patchfiles), I can update the 2.x branch code.
@Jody Lynn, are you still able to help us get started? I made the code much more modular, so everything should be more straightforward.

I have limited time, but I'll take a stab at it on Monday for Drupal Day (previously known as Columbus day)

Has there been any progress on this?
