Point it at a PDF from your Media Library and readers can flip, zoom, and page through it like a real book. A CSS fallback keeps it working on devices without WebGL. Ways to add a flipbook: * The **Zine PDF Flipbook** block: pick a PDF and set options in the editor. * The **Zine Image Flipbook** block: pick a set of images. * The **[zinejs] shortcode**: for the Classic editor, theme templates, and page builders. The engine and pdf.js are bundled with the plugin, and the scripts are enqueued only on pages that actually contain a flipbook. #### Shortcode ``` [zinejs pdf="https://example.com/brochure.pdf" spread="cover" curl="silk" controls-position="top"] ``` The shortcode accepts the same options as the blocks. Source: `pdf` (URL) or `images` ( comma-separated URLs). Layout: `spread` (cover | double | single | book), `direction`( ltr | rtl), fit (contain | fill), `responsive` (true | false), `threshold` (px),` max-width` (px), `aspect` (e.g. 3/2, or auto). Interaction: `click-to-flip` (edge | half | off), `curl` (cone | simple | roll | leaf | flick | silk), `flip-duration`( ms), `start-page` (0-based). Zoom: `zoom` (true | false), zoom-max, `zoom-wheel`,` zoom-double-click`. Controls: `controls` (true | false), controls-position (top | bottom | left | right), `controls-scheme` (auto | light | dark), controls-arrows,` context-menu`, `loading`, `hints`, `deep-link`. Permissions: `allow-download`, allow- print, `allow-share`. Covers: `front-cover` (URL), `back-cover` (URL). Sound: `sound`( true | false), `sound-volume` (0..1), `sound-muted`, `sound-persist`. By default the book drops to one page per spread when its container is narrower than 500px (`threshold`), so it stays readable on phones and in narrow theme columns. If your column is narrow but you still want two-page spreads (for example in `cover` mode), set `responsive="false"`, or use the block’s Wide/Full alignment to give it more room. ### License This plugin is free and open source, licensed under the GNU GPL v2 or later. The zinejs engine it bundles is distributed here under the same GPL license, and its source is available at https://github.com/awecode/zinejs (the engine is dual-licensed; other editions exist at https://zinejs.com). Bundled pdf.js is licensed under Apache- 2.0; its source is at https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js. The plugin’s own code is unminified and readable. The bundled `assets/vendor/*` files are built from the sources above; see the repository for the build steps. ## Blocks This plugin provides 2 blocks. * Zine PDF Flipbook Turn a PDF into an interactive page-flip book. * Zine Image Flipbook Turn a set of images into an interactive page-flip book. ## Installation 1. Upload the `zinejs-flipbook` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install the plugin through the Plugins screen in WordPress. 2. Activate it through the Plugins screen. 3. Add a “Zine Flipbook” block to a post or page, or use the `[zinejs]` shortcode. ## FAQ ### Can I show more than one flipbook on a page? Yes. Add multiple blocks or shortcodes; each mounts independently. ### The PDF does not render on my server pdf.js loads its worker as an ES module. A few servers serve `.mjs` files with the wrong MIME type, which blocks the worker. If pages stay blank, add this to your server config (Apache `.htaccess`): ``` AddType text/javascript .mjs ``` ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “zinejs Flipbook” is open source software.
