Prepage/Postpage and Zoommax behavior
« on: April 06, 2009, 04:25:40 pm »
First, congratulation for the new version!
I'm using the megazine to publish my newspaper on internet, when I finished I'll send the link here.

1) Prepage and Postpage: It was created to put images before the first and after the last page to show instructions etc...It's will be usefull if we could define a link of the entire image. So, for example, if we will publish a megazine, we can show an image of our sponsors and linking with their websites etc..
  Maybe a bug report: I put prepage and postpage images in my megazine.xml. The megazine is set to use transparency=true(show the html background). With this combination, the prepage and postpage images are showing while the page is loading. Is it right? I thought this images could appear only before the first and after the last page, not while the pages are loading.

2) ZoomMax: I tested the "zoominit" property with some JPG images, and it's really worked! I've defined the property with "0" , "1" , "2" , "3"  and the zoomed images was getting large as expected. Congratulations!
Reading the documentation, I hope the property "zoomMax" would be used to allow user to change the zoom dept using mouse, even in images. Am I right? I've tested it and I couldn't make it works. 
For example, I defined:
zoominit="1"
zoommax="3"
Then I open my html page and zoomed the page. It opened the first zoom ok. Then I hope that there would be another zoom tool to get more and more until reach the zoommax value. Am I right ?

1) I could add something like that, sure... if you have the capabilities of creating SWFs I would recommend you to create one and use that as the prepage, though, as this will give you much more freedom (e.g. in positioning what's linked, multiple links, etc).

2) Not sure what you mean. Does it work or doesn't it? In my tests it did work (the way I want it to, at least :P) - meaning if you set the zoommax to something > 1 it is possible to actually upscale the loaded graphics by using the mousewheel. Care to elaborate on what's not working as expected for you? ;)
For the Snark was a Boojum, you see.

1) Thanks! If I have any another idea I'll post here.

2) It didn't worked for me. I'll provide an example and post here.

As I said, here's an example to test the zoommax property.

1) Open the link below and wait loading the first page.


2) Zoom the first page.  You will see you can zoom only 1 level, but I've defined the zoomax with:
zoominit="1"
zoommax="5"

Any idea?
Here's the megazine.xml

Hi,

I remember something. It's not possible to modify the aligment of the prepage and postpage image. It would be nice if we could define "center middle" and a link to image, for example.
