Hi Jon,

I was looking for just such a widget! Thanks so much. I was easily able to get it up-and-running using the image array approach. However, I’m having problems pulling the images from a directory with AJAX. Maybe I’m not understanding what Flipbook.ajaxPhp and Flipbook.init( ‘/images/flipbook’ ) represent. I assume that the latter represents the path to the images. I notice that you have an absolute path here. Can a relative path be used? If so, it is relative to what exactly? If not, i.e., we must use an absolute path, how would that work on a virtual or hosted website?

Thanks for any suggestions,
-Mark

Thanks for the great plugin. It works great for me except that I really need the images to display only once each. Can you please tell me how this can be done, it would be a great help.

Cheers

Paul

Hi David,

Totally my fault, I messed up the syntax in the example. Try this: Flipbook.ajaxPhp = ‘flipbook.php’;

Sorry about that and thanks for pointing it out,
Jon

This looks like is something that I have been looking for the time to develop for a few years now. However, I have been trying to use your package with the ajax option and getting absolutely nowhere. I keep getting the error
“Flipbook.ajaxPhp is not a function” at the line in example.html where I placed “Flipbook.ajaxPhp( ‘flipbook.php’ );”

This seems to indicate that jQuery is calling my anonymous function before flipbook.js has created the Flipbook object. However, my grasp of jquery concepts is a bit shaky, so I wouldn’t take my analysis too seriously.

I am using your code without modifications – my images are in the directory /images/flipbook (relative to the domain root – actually it is a subdomain) and I placed the code for using the ajax option just above the flipbook div in the body of example.html as I thought I was supposed to.

What might I be doing wrong? You can see what I’ve done at

thanks.
