issuu let convert many documents to a nice page flip like flash, it also exposes an api.
I'm starting a module to integrate with issuu.com, like the actual ipaper module does it with scribd.com.
I'd be trying to cover as much as the API let us, starting with:
- upload a file: Using POST with php curl extension to do it, extending ckk + filefield to do the upload to the site
- list files from the remote account and maybe let embed them easily using something(emfield? I already ask, but not so much luck)
I'm doing it in the global way(one authentication for all the site), but then I suppose I could make it also per user if needed.
So, now I have working the basics, but after reading guidelines I think I will wait until I have filefileld integration ready(now I have, issuu signatures and curl POST working to upload, but without interface :p)
I also want to mention that there was a more less recent topic related in the devel list: Page-flip Module?, but I think it end up with an own software solution(convert to flash in-house with tools like swftools).
Ideas about this other modules I should interact with will be really welcome :-)
Comments
Sounds great
I would be happy to help test when you have a working version ready.
Thanks
Gregg
great!
I'll post an update here when it is on d.o :-)
filefield integration now it's almost done ;-) and how to view it, I suppose I'll do it with a cck formatter instead of emfield approach since get not enough feedback for that
Sounds awesome
Using ipaper and scribd now, but issuu was what I orignally wanted.
What's the status on this now?
working
it's working(but with a really sub-set of issuu api features), and I'm using it ... I'm planning to push it on d.o soon ;-), hoping to doing so later today, but not reading VCS on d.o
Like I said, I'll leave a link here where I end up with a alpha0 release :-)
alpha1 released!
Well, now it's a minimal implementation, but usable!

It works very well.
I hadn't heard about Scribdfield until you mentioned it on the Issuu integration project page and that module is probably a lot better than the way we're currently doing it now with the node_reference and the iPaper module, but I'll rather wait for this to be stable than to try out Scribdfield. :)
I haven't encountered anything odd yet, but I've only just installed the module and uploaded my first document so I haven't exactly tested it thoroughly.
Unable to change document info after the node is saved
I'm unable to come back and change the document information after the node it's attached to is saved. Also, if I create the node by clicking "Save" directly without clicking "Upload" first I'm unable to enter any document information at all. I'm also presented with this warning
warning: urlencode() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in sites/all/modules/issuu/issuu.api.inc on line 54.thanks for trying, please
thanks for trying, please follow this on its bug issue
