Hello @michaelsascha

Currently, there is no option to add the page numbers in PDF. I like to keep it simple, and for this reason, I have to make some “editorial” decisions.

If you want to make changes and apply your touch, my recommendation is to export the book in a more customizable formats available in the plugin (like Word, or I prefer EPUB).

I hope that makes sense for you!

Hello @michaelsascha

I agree with you. I’ve replaced the word “Content” with the # character. I’ve done it this way because it symbolizes reference and aligns with the index’s role of organizing and linking topics within a book (without compromising the translations).

I will continue here https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/page-numbers-20/

Hello @michael,

Yes, PDF files and premium formats are generated on cloud servers and Non-premium formats are generated locally: https://docs.mpl-publisher.com/docs/faq/#are-the-files-created-using-a-cloud-service

The plugin’s code is publicly available, so you can see what information is exactly transmitted to the server. https://github.com/ferranfg/mpl-publisher/blob/master/libs/PublisherBase.php#L347

No information is stored and the files are dynamically generated, this is done only for registered users.

Let me know if something it’s not clear (or directly wrong). I will appreciate your insights about this.

Hi @helsingeyogi

• Pagination is provided by the reader itself, as it depends on the font-size, spacing, etc. depending on your reader, I’m sure you can configure this setting to show/hide the pagination!
• To show Pages on the Contents, use the first filter available on the filters section. It should display a list of all your posts types so you can filter by Page type. Here is a screenshot: https://share.cleanshot.com/VNLTbnKq

Let me know if you need anything else ??

I think we can close this with the 2.11 release!

Hi @dailycdev

I’m not sure if this may help, but only checked posts keep the order when saved. It means that if you have [x] 1 check, [ ] 2 unchecked and [x] 3 checked, the result when saved will be [x] 1, [x] 3, 2 [ ].

Let me know if this makes sense in your case. If not, could you share a video showing what is happening in your case? Thanks.

Closed as resolved

Hi @dbreuninger

1 – There can be different reasons for images not displayed. You can check out FAQ to see if some of these matches your case https://docs.mpl-publisher.com/docs/faq/#images-are-not-displayed

If not, the plugin offers different options regarding how images should be loaded inside the book. You can check the Content images section to get more information https://docs.mpl-publisher.com/docs/book-options/book-details/#content-images

If not 2 ?? I’m about to release a new plugin version that may fix your issue. It’s still in testing, so you can download and install the future version from https://github.com/ferranfg/mpl-publisher/archive/refs/heads/master.zip

Even if not 3, you can write me to [email protected] and I can assist you more detailed.

2 – I don’t recognize this code as own, so it could be due to other plugin interfering with the post content. My suggestion in this case is to temporary disable all other plugins and enabling them one by one to see which could be “guilty”.

Hi @nesika, thank you for your message. I think it may be related to the content.

In these situations, I always follow the same flow. Try to generate the book file in “small batches” (select 2/3 chapters for instance) and see if it makes any difference in the output. If it’s working with these 2 posts, then keep adding other posts until you find one that is giving the error.

If it fails for every chapter and it’s not an issue related to a particular chapter, try to disable other plugins to check if it’s a compatibility issue. I think doing these two things will give you a hint about where the error could be.

If not, try to screencast the steps you are following to create the book and send the details to [email protected]. Let me know if you have any findings.

It should be fixed with the latest release. Thanks!

Hi @cascoly I think you have a few options:

• If you already have the images in a published post and you just want to show them in 2 columns instead of 1 (default), you can override the book CSS using the “Design” tab. You can add your own CSS and set 50% width images. You can get more details about Custom Themes here: https://docs.mpl-publisher.com/docs/book-options/book-details/#custom-css
• ?If you are creating a new chapter just for the book, I think the easiest way would be to use the “table” component with 2 columns and add images in every cell. Here is an example of the editor and the epub result https://share.cleanshot.com/wjy2nWkB

Hi @meintobi could you share with me the generated epub file so I can dig a bit deeper about the error? You can send it to [email protected]

Hi @cascoly, thanks for your message.

Currently, internal links are not supported and, for now, I’m not planning to add this feature. It would involve a lot of development (knowing which posts have been included and which don’t) and rewriting the original content.

My suggestion in this case, is to download the ebook as is and then post-edit the generated file using other tools (like Calibre) to update the links.

Hi @subopo

Understood. There is no limit on the number of chapters per se, but more chapters will mean more time. So I have a few comments here:

• I’ve updated my server’s timeout to 120 seconds to see if this makes a difference.
•  Again, I don’t know if this may apply to you, but the timeout could be triggered by an external resource (like an image) that is not available anymore.
• ?This will take some time, but try to “refine” to find if the error is caused when a certain number of chapters is passed or when an *specific* post is included in the book (this can be related to the previous post). This will give us some hints.
•  If your chapters contain images, try to play with the different image settings available on the plugin’s “Design” tab (embed, load from original URL, etc)
