If you look beside the thumbnail of the Issue you want to embed (in your Mygazines account) you will see the 'embed' options.

Both (cover and mini flipbook) will give you full embed codes that you can place on your website for people to view and click to see the full size version of the publication. Here is a simple tutorial for both:

Cover with link

1) If you press the 'cover with link' option, the HTML code for embedding will automatically pop up.

2) Paste it where you want it to be and a thumbnail that links to your publication will be displayed. It should look like this:

Mini-flipbook

1) If you click on the mini flipbook feature, it will automatically take you to the mini flipbook's settings page. There you can customize how it will be displayed, including background color, size, title, link and loading method.

2) When you're happy with how it looks, press    and get the mini flipbook's HTML code.

3) Copy the code and paste it where you want it to be. This is how it should look like:

When the mini flipbook is clicked, the full-featured flipbook will load.

That's it!

Just like any other page, ads can be dynamic, include multimedia elements (videos and sounds) and even interactive features. The content has to be placed in your digital edition in the same way as rich media. You would have to create your .flv or .swf file, place it on any page, resize it as big as you want (even a whole page), making your publications a truly interactive experience and adding value for your advertisers.

Questions:

I have some questions about your infrastructure. Specificy:

1. Power Failover plan?

2. IP Failover plan?

3. Bandwidth? Pipe?

4. Kind of web servers? How many?

5. Plan B in case network/servers go down?

Thanks in advance if you have any of this.

Answers:

ok here goes:

Power Fail-over:
- all our servers have redundant power, storage and cpu

IP Fail-over:
- we are equipped with redundant load-balancers that balance the load and ensure working status of all web and storage servers

Bandwidth:
- we are on a burstable 100mbit pipe with the ability to updgrade to 1tb on the fly.
- we use Limelight Networks to distribute our media, which is like an infinite pipe-stream across the globe. Limelight serves content for companies like Microsoft who outsource their content distribution.

Web servers:
- we run about 95% Dell Poweredge 2950, 2850 and 1850 servers
- as mentioned, all are equipped with redundant power, cpu and RAID storage

Plan B:
- head for the bomb shelter in the basement: We're hosted out of the central Canadian internet hub at 151 Front st. http://www.151frontstreet.com
- there are about 10 different ISP's interconnected into this world-class facility ensuring redundancy at every level

Hope that answers your questions

Yes - by adding the code ?hide=bookmark to the end of a Mygazines URL, you will allow your viewers the option of emailing the Mygazine to a friend, but hide the option of being able to social bookmark the page. Here is an example:

For our Pro and Enterprise customers, we have a full suite of indexing tools that will allow you to add/modify and delete links, articles and clippings (what are clippings?) in your existing uploads.

Add, modify and delete links, articles and clippings with your full suite of indexing tools

No. The Mygazines application is 100% web-based. Your viewer’s browser needs to be Flash-enabled. (98.5% of all browsers are Flash-enabled). Javascript and cookies must also be enabled.

There are none. The more successful your Mygazines publication is for you the more we think you'll want to stay a Mygazines customer.

Forever and ever and ever. As long as you remain a client of Mygazines, by maintaining an active account, the links to your publications will remain live.

Title Authentication

The Title Authentication module is an API that allows you to password protect your titles using your own subscription system. This feature is intended to leverage your existing database of registered members. Rather than give us access to your database, you can setup a simple script on your site, accessible over the web that our system can securely POST information to.

For more detailed explanation of this use visit this post

Email Havesting

you can manipulate this module to harvest emails and generate leads. Click here to find out how!

Simple pass-phrase

you can now also use this module to setup a single password (pass-phrase) that requires no hosted script on your end - all internal! Click here to find out how.

Clippings are a way for you to index parts of pages that you want to grant your readers easy access to. In the most basic example, a clipping is a great way to make a coupon directly available for print within your application - and at a high resolution suitable for printing (hint: think printable bar-codes).

Rather than making your reader wait while our system "cuts out" a section of a page, by predefining your clippings we'll have those "cut out" areas ready for immediate download and printing so your readers don't have to wait.

Define the area that you want to cut out and create the clipping

Your readers can collect their clippings in one central clipping basket, from which they can print all at once, individually and even email the whole clipping basket to their friends and colleagues!

Readers can collect and print your clippings

Here are some key formatting practices that will ensure you get the best results with your Mygazines publications:

Add Bookmarks and Links

Your Mygazines publication will retain all the formatting you put into your PDFs. This includes bookmarks and links. Here are some guidelines to follow:

• you can include internal links to pages as well as external links to websites such as your advertisers - all links will be included in your Mygazines publication!

1) Start by opening your PDF file on Adobe Acrobat Professional and go to the page where you index is.

2) From the main menu, choose  Tools> Advanced Editing> Link Tool.

3) Use your mouse to enclose the section (with an invisible rectangle) where you want to place the link. A window will automatically open up.

4) Choose the appropriate appearance and link action. The link could lead either to a different page from the PDF (bookmark), a file, web page or it could be a custom link, like an e-mail. Click on NEXT and simply follow the rest of the specific instructions for each kind of link.

5) Repeat the process for every other link you wish to include, save your file as a PDF and upload it onto Mygazines. All the links will be retained in your Mygazines publication!

• to index your publication, and create a list of articles/sections, simply create a bookmark for every article/section in your PDF. We even support nested bookmarks!
• your file must be in Adobe® PDF format (up to version 1.6)
• confirm website links: While Acrobat (all versions) may show some website links as active, make sure the actual links have been created by running the following tool in Acrobat Professional ®
  From the main menu, choose  Advanced > Document Processing > Create Links from URLs

For further instructions on how to edit your PDF file, here are some helpful links:

You can also check out this blog post with other good practices for formatting a PDF.

Here are some general guidelines to ensure you get the most out of your dynamic content.

SWF Animations

• while actionscript is allowed, DO NOT include any scripting that modifies the position or dimension of elements causing those elements to exit the main stage's area
• we use both the stage dimensions and animation dimensions to calculate your content's proportions. For best results, create a box (can be transparent) on any frame on the main stage with the exact same dimensions as your stage
• keep all movie clips and animations inside a mask that is contained within the stage to ensure your animations stay within your stage
• DO NOT embed FLV videos into your SWF's - upload an FLV file instead
• publish your SWF animations in AS2 (actionscript 2.0) ONLY - AS3 is not supported as an embeddable SWF.

FLV Video
FLV is an Adobe Flash video format that works well within Flash documents. If you need help converting your video files to FLV's, here are some useful resources:

• Convert video using the Flash 8 Video Encoder wizard (adobe.com)
