 +====== bookcreator Plugin Discussion ======
 +//Discussion page for the [[..:bookcreator]] plugin//
 +
 +There's always room for improvement. If you're able to add any contributions to make pdfbook better, please [[l.micco@tiscali.it|let me know]] or discuss your thoughts right here (please use ''<nowiki>===== Level 2 Headlines =====</nowiki>'' to open a new "thread"/issue and ''<nowiki>----</nowiki>'' (five dashes, horizontal rule) to structure it when needed).
 +
 +**Please report issues at the issue tracker:\\ https://github.com/Klap-in/dokuwiki-plugin-bookcreator/issues**
 +
 +===== The Plugin did not accept the selectet Pages=====
 +
 +I can select and delete Pages, this is not the problem, but if i want to export or save my selection, the Plugin is telling me, that i did not select any pages. 
 +
 +I added "var_dump($_COOKIE)" to the syntax.php, the output is shown below.
 +
 +<code>
 +array(3) { 
 +["bookcreator"]=> 
 +array(2) { 
 +["start"]=> 
 +string(1) "1" 
 +["andere"]=> 
 +string(1) "1"
 +["DokuWiki"]=> 
 +string(26) "a0d075bihtp4kvr476pr316ot0" 
 +["DW84669e0b736a85c6eeda0cf5b0a2b382"]=> 
 +string(27) "YWRtaW4=|0|cnVxUlAvTkdVR0E9"
 +</code>
 +
 +Dokuwiki is running on my local system, Ubuntu 12.04, by using the latest version of firefox.
 +===== Page selection problem 1/8/2014 =====
 +I can select pages but when I go to save the selection I get the messages "You don't have pages selected yet."  I can delete pages selected successfully. I have verified cookies are created for each page.  I do not have a cookie listing the pages if it should exist.  I am wiki-admin with all permissions. 
 +FireFox 25.01
 +DokuWiki Weatherwax
 +bookcreator is current as of 1/8/2014 - no output for "Text", Printable Version or PDF
 +dw2pdf is current as of 8/16/2013 and works properly from URL and tab button
 +
 +Edit: Same here, FF 27, fresh installation of DokuWiki, bookcreator and dw2pdf on XAMPP / Win7
 +
 +> I created a bug report for you. Please provide there info so i can investigate the case.

 +=====Problem with IE8.0=====
 +Error-Message of IE:\\
 +Details zum Fehler auf der Webseite
 +> See https://github.com/Klap-in/dokuwiki-plugin-bookcreator/issues/26. Fixed.
 +
 +
 +===== Problem with Firefox =====
 +Bookcreator is the perfect plugin for the needs of one of my sites. Unfortunately, it refuses to work when I use Firefox, and I have apparently the same problem with other Mozilla-like browsers. The resulting book is always empty. The exact same selection gives me a book with other browsers. Does anybody have the same problem ?\\
 +- Last version of Dokuwiki, Vector template. \\
 +Thanks [[emache47@gmail.com|Michel]]
 +
 +> Do you allow cookies?
 +> Can you install firebug and inspect the cookies? is there a cookie ''list-pagelist''? What is its content? --- [[user>Klap-in|Klap-in]] //2013/06/13 12:22//
 +
 +===== Problem with Firefox & IE8 =====
 +I have the same problem as above too: \\
 +FireFox is version 20.0.1\\
 +Internet Explorer  8.0.6001.18702\\
 +Dokuwiki is Version rc2013-0306\\
 +MonoBook Updated:2013-02-20\\
 +BookCreator seems to work then blank pdf and apache log had a "Warning:  Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated - argument passed by value" Which is resolved by an entry below.\\
 + \\
 +There is no apache log output for the resulting pdf.  It was an empty page with a default header and footer.  I was able to produce a pdf file using only the dw2pdf plugin by way of adding "do=export_pdf" to the URL .\\
 +\\
 +Please update for compatibility with latest versions of Dokuwiki and MonoBook.\\
 +Thank you [[martin.tullier@aacounty.org|Martin T]]  5/8/2013
 +\\
 +> Do you allow cookies?
 +> Is there a developer toolbar for IE? or someting to inspect the cookies? is there a cookie ''list-pagelist''? What is its content? --- [[user>Klap-in|Klap-in]] //2013/06/13 12:22//
 +
 +===== Internal links =====
 +
 +The book creation and pdf export are working fine for me, however all the links within the pdf still point to pages of the dokuwiki itself. Is there a way to make the plugin create internal links in the document (i.e. jumping directly to the desired section of the .pdf instead of opening a browser window)?

 +
 +===== Command line PDF export =====
 +I have made a few PDF books and it works fine. I need to save them on a regular basis to keep the PDF versions of the books updated. Is it possible to make the export from command line? Regards Jonas
 +
 +> You can call the pdf book export by using the right url. Example: 
 +> %%http://yourwiki.org/wiki:ebooks?id=wiki%3Aebooks&pdfbook_title=Test+title%3A+test&do=export_pdfbook%%
 +
 +> where:
 +>
 +> id = pagid of bookmanager
 +> pdfbook_title = Document's title (in example this was: "Test title: test" (url encoded)
 +> do = export_pdfbook is commando for exporting book
 +
 +
 +
 +===== Firefox =====
 +With IE8 I seem to be able to select any page, but in firefox the number of pages you can select is limited (±20) when selecting more then it's max it replaces those pages with the new ones..
 +
 +(How) Could this error be solved??
 +
 +--- Theo 18/05/2010
 +
 +> Probably to many cookies in Firefox? So less space remain for the cookie with pagenames.
 +
 +
 +
 +
 +===== print.css =====
 +To prevent the printing of the toolbar..
 +<code css>
 +.dokuwiki div.bookcreator__panel { display: none }
 +.dokuwiki div.bookcreator__ { display: none }
 +</code>
 +
 +
 +
 +===== Group bookmarks to namspace =====
 +I am searching for an option to group bookmarks to Section / Chapter e.g. namespsaces. Due the fact that the each wiki page with H1 starts at level 0. I would like to have a better overview with huge number of pages in my pdf.
 +Regards, Tom 6/4/10
 +
 +===== Latex Issue =====
 +
 +The bookcreator don't fetch the latex images created by [[plugin:latex|latex plugin]]. any ideas?  --- [[user>markuman]] //2011/01/17 12:00//
 +
 +I'm having a similar issue, even though I'm not using the latex plugin. Some images are not included in the generated PDFs... and I can't figure out what is so special about them. Other images show fine. All images that I have uploaded to the wiki are PNGs --- FilipeCorreia //2012/08/22 18:11//
 +
 +===== more flexible syntax =====
 +the "book page" syntax is very restrictive and don't work with links created from the editor "internal link button"
 +
 +To "flexify" this, you can edit the file "/plugin/bookcreator/syntax.php" and replace by this on line 164-188:
 +<code php>
 +                $select= rawWiki($this->getConf('save_namespace').":".$_POST['page']);
 +                $lines = explode("\n", $select);
 +                $nr = count($lines);
 +                $titleRegex = "/^\\s*={3,6}\\s*([^=]*)\\s*={3,6}\\s*$/";
 +                $linkRegex = "/^.*\\[\\[:?([^|\\]]*)[^\\]]*\\]\\].*$/";
 +                
 +                for($n=0; $n<$nr; $n++) {
 +                  if (trim($lines[$n]) == '') continue;
 +                  
 +                  if (!$title && preg_match($titleRegex, $lines[$n])){
 +                    $title = preg_replace($titleRegex, "$1", $lines[$n]);
 +                  } else if(preg_match($linkRegex, $lines[$n])){
 +                    $list[$n] = preg_replace($linkRegex, "$1", $lines[$n]);
 +                    $renderer->doc .= '
 +  <script type="text/javascript"><!--//--><![CDATA[//><!-- 
 +  book_changePage(\'bookcreator['.$list[$n].']\', 1, new Date(\'July 21, 2099 00:00:00\'), \'/\');
 +  //--><!]]></script>';
 +                    $i++;
 +                  }
 +                }
 +</code> 
 +
 +===== pdf files =====
 +Is it possible to embed pdf files in the book ? Would be very nice to be able to do so.
 +Thank you.
 +

 +
 +===== ISSUE: handle non-english(utf-8) file name =====
 +
 +If the file name is english, everything is OK. But when I try to add a page with Chinese file name, I get 400 Bad Request error. I checked the cookies stored, and find that cookie name is:
 +
 +  bookcreator[topic:linux-parallel:intel„ÑhÕh‰Å]
 +  
 +I think that's where the error comes.
 +
 +I modified some JavaScript in the code and use urlencoded string in cookies. It seems that the problem is solved. You can check the code here
 +
 +
 +===== Not Scaling Well =====
 +
 +Building larger books doesn't work well. After adding about 40 pages, the bookmarks begin to break down. Somewhere between 40 and 80 pages, the page goes blank after about a minute and the httpd logs show an Error 500. Would this be a timeout or memory issue that could be resolved with a configuration change?
 +
 +Particulars are: MacOSX 10.4, Apache 1.3.41, Rincewind, dw2pdf plugin dated 2011-06-12.
 +
 +> You can try adding this line to the bottom of your conf/local.php to overcome any memory limitations (if that is the case): 
 +> ini_set('memory_limit', '-1');
 +>
 +> ---  FilipeCorreia //2012/08/22 18:06//
 +
 +>> This needs improvements of the dw2pdf plugin. See https://github.com/splitbrain/dokuwiki-plugin-dw2pdf/issues/3
 +
 +
 +===== Problem with large book =====
 +I created a book of 82 pages (counting according to the toolbar), and tried to download the pdf file. This however was disliked by the server that spit out the following error code:
 +<code>Bad Request
 +
 +Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.
 +
 +Size of a request header field exceeds server limit.</code>
 +
 +This is due to the large number of cookies set by bookcreator. Any suggestions how to bypass this error?
 +
 +Bypass: Save the book ("Save Selection"), delete all dokuwiki-cookies, log back in and load saved the book. You have lost some cookies and now it might work (depending on no. of pages in your book, though).
 +> All pages are collected and read output by the pdf renderer via a cookie. So the max is the limit of a cookie.
 +
 +===== TOC would be great =====
 +Bookcreation works realy fine for me, but I have not figured out yet how to get a table of contents into the book
 +> Should be performed in the dw2pdf plugin.
 +
 +
 +===== TOC, export of complete namespaces =====
 +This is a fine plugin for pdf export. Would be complete for me if a table of content with page numbering was generated at export (f. e. H1 = 1., H2 = 1.1 etc), and also great would be a possibility of exporting complete namespaces at once.
 +Thx for your work.
 +
 +
 +===== IE 9 browser issue=====
 +
 +I have noticed that on the wiki:ebook page IE 9 and firefox are rendering the page differently.  In firefox the "Export selection" and "Save Selection" sections are displaying but in IE 9 that is not the case. Not showing up at all.  Any way to fix this issue?
 +> Have other IE9 users this issue too?
