I bought this in the hope that there would be a step by step guide to publishing a book, but I cannot find one.

do you have a good guide anywhere?

Is it not possible to do this for customers... it wouldn't take long to do a video - do you have one?

Hello,

Instructions how to use the module can be found in "Description" field on module settings page.

Hello, I am afraid that you - Ari-Team - take too much for granted. I have read now everything in the description an in the forum but anyhow I don`t know how to use it.
These are my steps - after normal installation of module and plugin:

1. I created an own categorie (i.e. PRODUCTS) with 3 or 4 articles (product 1, product 2 etc) that should appear in the book
2. I went to extension module manager and select the categoriename PRODUCTS for the book and saved it before I left.
3. I created an new article MY PRODUCTS in wich the book should appear
4. In this article MY PRODUCTS I wrote {ariflipbook moduleID="89"} because 89 is the ID of the flipbook Module
5. I created an Menь Item OUR CALALOGUE that linked to the article MY PRODUCTS that should show the book.

Thats how I understood your description, but obviously I am wrong. But now, I really dont know how to go on further. Please be so friendly as to set a step by step description or a simple example "how to do for dummies" in the forum, because its very frustrating having payed for something that I cant use with my knowlegde and my will to learn.

Thank you in advance
Tom

Hello,

Described steps look fine, probably it is a problem with module configuration. If you use J! 1.6+, check that "System - ARI Extensions" plugin is installed and enabled. If it is OK, could you provide a link to a page where we can see the problem and a temporary access to your J! backend by email so we can investigate an issue?

Unfortunately I am developing the new site for a company in localhost-mode so that I cant give you a link at the moment. I use Joomla 2.5.3 and I hate myself that I tried to use this new edition because I feel like a beginner again. The time to experience every new feature is not worth it! But getting the ari book to work is important for me and I think for lot of others of your clients, too. So do me a favour and please publish one small example how to do so that all the joomla-beginners of your clients will understand how easy you ari components will work! (I am convinced that is is like that, please prove!)

I have some other things to do on the new site I have to create, so when it comes to the flipbook tasks again, I will visit your page again.

Best regards from Germany

The module shows articles as a page in flip book from selected content categories in module settings so it is enough to select content categories (See "Articles -> Categories"). Other parameters is used to configure book style and specific articles selection.

If module is not shown, check that it is enabled and parameters from "Menu Assignment" is configured properly (this is common parameters for all Joomla! modules). Check also that "System - ARI Extensions" is installed and enabled.
