Megazine suggestions
« on: May 26, 2009, 06:12:18 pm »
Hi there,

I'm a new user and I needed to use megazine3 to publish my car megazine. Actually I'm publishing it in HTML in my website and I'm creating the sponsors links manually in html.
Now with megazine3 I could reduce my job. Thanks for that!

But there are three things left in your tool(or I couldn't find it in documentation) and without then I can't publish the megazine.

1) Links with zoom or fullscreen mode: Why links are working only in normal view? I think that if a person zooms a page it's because he couldn't read the text, or even the text links. But when megazine shows up the bigger image the links disapeared!
I have the coordinates of the links in bigger image. It's not possible to create an <area> attribute that works only in zoom mode?

2) Double page zoom : Several flashpaper on the web works with zoom on double pages. It's not possible? I think that if double pages was enabled, you could just zoom a SWF loading 2 images at same time.

3) Searching highlighting : I have a search box in my website and I'd like to search words in megazine. I'm looking for the words in PDF file and I got the X/Y position of the word. Then I dinamically generate the megazine.xml with a <area> with yellow overlay. It works very well !! But... in zoom mode it doesn't shows up.

1) If they are defined via areas they won't work because the page itself doesn't matter for the "zoom mode"... I start to grow more and more friendly with the thought of renaming it to "gallery". And if the links are inside the swf, they will only work when the image is zoomed completely out, because else the dragging functionality will block clicks.

2) It sure is possible, I just don't have the time at the moment...

3) Again, that's because the zoom mode doesn't show the actual page with its content, but an extra image. This is based on the fact that it's possible to have multiple images on a page which can have a different hires image. I might implement an actual page zoom one of these days... but no promise as to when.
For the Snark was a Boojum, you see.

Hey,

First of all, Florian thanks for the megazine3, It's a great thing!

I have the same problem (#3), I have PDF or Word, and I want to mark word on a page in the megazine,
(I have already done the searching part, I just want to mark the word in the page -> to find coordination and to mark the word)
can you explain how you solved it?

thanks
Tom
