Hello,

I downloaded a trial version of the EPUB exporter and created a custom export template. However I could not figure out how to define additiona content such as title page. Is that possible with the latest version?

Thank you,

Pavel

  Hi Pavel,

  I've updated our EPUB documentation. Please have a look at the following page: http://www.k15t.com/display/EPUB/Defining+Static+Content

  Does that help?

   

  Cheers,
  Nils

  Hi Nils, I followed the procedure, but I could not view the title page when I opened the resulting epub. After unziping the epub file, I could see that the title page was there. Also the title page was not included in <spine toc="ncx"> although I put it there in the template. Could it be that it needs to be explicitly referenced in toc.ncx as well?

  I have yet another question - is it possible to use the placeholders in the static titlepage.html file? Such as $space.name or possibly also the $include.getPage("page name") function? I see that the documentation states that it does, but if I put $space.name

  Thanks for your help,

  Pavel

  Hi Pavel,

  could you please send your template to support@k15t.com? This will automatically create a support-ticket and we'll then be able to have a deeper look and will come back to you as soon as possible.

  Besides, I think there is some text missing at the end of your forum entry. What does happen when you use the placeholder $space.name? It would be great if you could add this information to the support ticket as well.

  Cheers,
  Nils

  Hi Nils,

  This was the missing text:

  "I have yet another question - is it possible to use the placeholders in the static titlepage.html file? Such as $space.name or possibly also the $include.getPage("page name") function? I see that the documentation states placeholders can be used with EPUB templates, but if I put $space.name in the title page template, the velocity object is not parsed."

  Thanks,

  Pavel

  Hi Nils:

  I am also facing the same issue.

  Placeholders are not working in static page like titlepage.html.

  I am using placeholder like $space.name, $page.DisplayTitle.

  Is their any way to do that?

  Hi Sudhakar,

  
  you have to add the following code to your atlassian-plugin.xml:
  
  <resource type="static-resource" name="titlepage.html" location="template/titlepage.html">
  <param name="needsRendering">true</param>
  </resource>
  
  (delete the resource endtag from the static resource "titlepage" and add thee "needsRendering" command)
  This leads to a rendering of the placeholder and the placeholder gets replaced.
  
  I'll add this information to the Scroll EPUB Exporter documentation.
  
  Cheers,
  Nils
