PageBook plugin

Hi Everyone. I know there are many who want a book like plugin. I have lots of things I've done with BT but I'm hesitant as to make this into a plugin. I'm not so good at getting it to function interact with the control panel. Here I need help! But it looks like this in my BT2.0 test app. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/83876419/Bt/Pagebook%20plugin%20demo.mov I've been thinking that you should be able to put a title on each page that you create. Then you should be able to put a picture on each page. And then you should be able to have more text under the picture if you want. everything is in a XIB file so you can move around at will. This plugin will only work wiht iOS 5.0 and above. Please write a comment what you think you should be able to do with the plugin.

Hey, I think it would make a great plugin. I would need all that you say, each page should be or pdf or html. You should be able to have an index. Cheers. Miguel

This all looks and sounds top notch. Would be a must have for me if you turned it into a plugin. Happy days buddy.

looks neat for sure. maybe a title page and json data for images/illustrations? maybe use chapters or pages as JSON data in the control panel? perhaps that would allow you to make an index/chapter out of it? totally agree a goo book plug-in needs chapters and to navigate to them. also if it's a long book, how about a bookmark? love seeing all these new plug-in ideas @ here! bunch of crafty folks

@myapps yes I have seen the webinar. But it is tricky! @ATRAIN53 index/chapter is a great idea but I dont now how I will do it with JSON. Same with the bookmark how to save it? Will see how it ends.

Very cool. I have a similar plugin just submitted, but for ipad only. Different enough concept, since mine is more for an interactive book, since it has interactive hotspots. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/49976360/Storybook%20Demo.m4v

@Stobe Very nice. My idea was just a simple PageViewController plugin there you can add only image or image+ text. Nothing hight tec!. Your plugin look so more advanced.
