it needs to be changed using 'boundingRectWithSize:options:attributes:context:'

Could some one please help, I can not seem to get it to work

Thank you

For some reason only one my issues are showing on shelf at a time. I know it has something to do with my shelf.json file being wrong but I do not know what it is. I would appreciate some input. I know it has to be a simple fix.

Something like a
"Are you sure you want to download this issue
this issue will take "file size" please use wifi blah blah blah"
--------------------- Yes -------------- NO ------------------

not quite sure whats gone wrong, i had backer and magrocket all set up and working together then suddenly the api side has stopped working. and now if i type in my api subdomain the screen loads but its a blank white page instead of the magrocket api that should load and when i try to test baker store on my iPad i get errors like 'response was 500 internal server error' and failed get request for all api urls?

any help would be amazing

thank you

Hi,

In the latest master, using MagRocket backend 1.0, if you open the app while you are technically 'online', but without full internet access (e.g. a wifi hotspot that requires login or 3G access without prepaid credit), baker opens with an empty white screen (I presume it is trying to connect to magrocket to see if there are new issues available). This can take quite a while. If you tap the 'refresh' button during this white screen, Baker forgets any previously downloaded issues. This means that when you open the app again, you have to re-download any issues you had before.

Can we prevent Baker from ever 'forgetting' previously downloaded issues, and is there a way to reduce the time-out for trying to connect to magrocket before showing the existing shelf?

The master MagRocket code with some minor changes beyond the 1.0 functionality is now in it's new home on the BakerFramework GitHub site.

The code has been tagged with a 1.1 version indicator. You can download it from GitHub or on the Baker Framework website here: Baker Cloud Console (CE)

I've also added a new "Servers" page on the Baker Framework website that links to both the Baker Cloud Console (CE) as well as the other Third-Party options available such as Newsstand DIY and Magloft. You can find that here: Baker Framework Servers

Has anyone else had this problem? Basically about half of the time i open an issue the index ends up not scrolling to the side, keeping the 1024px width on both portrait and landscape, showing only the first 3 elements from the menu that fit the first 1024px.

This is the code i use for the viewport on the index.html file:

<meta name="viewport" content="width=1024, height=106, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no" />

On the css i set the body width to a value that can hold the elements inside.

I am using baker 4.2 (downloaded from the official website).

There is a bug where the Navigation Bar disappears and you can't make it appear this bug triggers in the following way:

If you start reading an issue, the navigation bar hides, you double tap for showing the navigation bar, if you tap on back you get back to the shelf, but if you instead of taping back use the new iOS7 swipe back to return the navigation bar just disappears. I used Baker 4.2 on iOS7 with an iphone 5.

Hello, guys!

Just want to say thank you for your great work. The first issue of The Tech Chronicles is now available and there was no problem with a iTunes moderation. Baker is really outstanding framework and I'm sure it will get even better with a new project lead.

A couple words about The Tech Chronicles. It's a free magazine that serving up a selection of hand-picked articles and blog posts from all around the Web. I'm trying to focus on unique and inspiring opinions evaluating what is happening around us.

https://itunes.apple.com/en/app/the-tech-chronicles/id599325388?mt=8

And then there were 2... :)

I'm happy to announce that Cédric Mériau is now part of the Core Baker Framework team!

Many of you may know Cédric (tekdope) from his activity on the GitHub Baker repository. He's a valued member of the community and often contributes to questions dealing with HTML5/CSS content creation and the like.

I've talked to Cédric a lot over the past year or so with regards to digital publishing topics while he was working on his TekDope Newsstand magazine. It's a great magazine by the way, you all should definitely check it out! It's in French, so I mostly am admiring the typography, interactive elements, and design skills ;) lol

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/tekdope/id627043923?mt=8

We've had great discussions surrounding the bits and bytes of my prior MagRocket plans and I believe we both have a great and common vision of what Baker and the Framework can become. After taking over the project from Davide, Marco and Alessandro I quickly realized that I needed someone to help out... Cédric was the first to come to mind - it seemed like a great fit. He said yes...and here we are!

Cédric will add a great skillset to the Core Baker Team as he's a great designer and expert at all things HTML5/CSS (and even a bit of JS). I think he'll be a great asset to the team, the platform, and the community!

Please help me give Cédric a warm welcome!

Don't know if this is the correct venue but here goes,

To port an issue that only contains images, how would you structure the html document so it would render correctly on both iPads and iPhones.

here is a sample of a page

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title></title>
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width; initial-scale=1.0; maximum-scale=2.0;" >
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/book.css">
</head>
<body>
    <div id="page" class="chapter" style="background: url('images/pages/Issue4-.jpg') no-repeat top center; background-size: contain;">

    </div>
</body>
</html>

The css file

When we forked from Simbul/baker to this new bakerframework/baker repo we purposely did not move any of the existing issues.

If there are issues that you logged that you believe are important, please re-log them here.

I will be going through the list out there and pulling things over that I think make candidates for upcoming releases.

However if there are specific items you guys want to have addressed, please create them here so we can have a discussion etc...

Thanks!

We just pushed an update to our app using the latest version of Baker. Everything tested fine, and Apple approved the update. However, when I update to app on my iPhone and try to open it, it crashes immediately. I've confirmed this on a couple of other phones from friends. Anyone else have this happen to them or have any suggestions?

Is anyone been able to download any hpub over 3G? It seems to only work over WIFI for me.

Hi, I have this problem:
In my hpub I'm using the "three-cards" render mode because some of my articles are presented in two pages (a big image divided in two), so I need the next page also loaded, but in some of my articles I have videos and animations that are played automatically when the page is loaded. So the problem is when I am in the previous/next page of the video page, because the page of the video is loaded so the video is played while I'm still in the previous/next page. Is there something, in baker or html, that indicate that the page is on the screen so I can reproduce the video and animations just when the page is on the screen but not when the page is loaded?

Or it is requiered to indicate the specific page with an internal link?

First of all I would like to thank Davide, Alessandro and Marco for their amazing work over the past 3+ years in creating what we all know as the Baker Framework today.

It has grown and evolved over the years into an amazing product, community and solution for digital publishers all over the globe.

Just what has the team achieved in this timeframe?

• 10 releases – one every 4 months
• 310 forks
• 16+ contributors
• 941 commits
• 14,901 lines of code
• 60+ new publications
• 20,000+ downloads
• 200,000+ people reached

This is an amazing accomplishment that deserves recognition!

I myself have been involved in the project in various ways over the years, in particular around the time that Newsstand was being pushed out by Apple. I realized the potential of the Baker eBook Framework and spent a lot of time working on a fork of the pre Baker 4.0 codebase that provided Newsstand and Shelf capabilities. A handful of publications made it on the App Store using this fork and I learned a lot about the Newsstand system.

When the Baker Team finally started their push to add Newsstand support into the mainline Baker Framework, I jumped in and helped where I could as I realized that there was much opportunity in Baker by supporting Newsstand (and not just standalone eBooks). Fast forward to the 4.0 release which gave publishers an amazing opportunity to create Baker Based Newsstand applications with Free Subscriptions!

Around the time this was happening, I corresponded a lot with Davide and the team about the direction of Baker and the next steps towards Paid Subscriptions. This opened up a whole can of proverbial worms due to the fact that in order to support Paid Subscriptions, publishers would need to host their own server backend in order provide the necessary functionality for Baker to work with the Paid model. This is when I started to conceptualize MagRocket. MagRocket was developed and I worked closely with the Baker Team on defining an open API so that Baker could have a method of talking to any custom backend server - not just MagRocket. I also committed to making MagRocket Open Source and aligning my development to coincide with the Baker 4.1 release in May of 2013. My initial goal with MagRocket was to provide the basic functions required by a server component so that publishers could easily implement on commodity hardware (Linux, PHP, MySQL) and support Free and Paid subscriptions and Paid Issues.

Many of the Baker Applications today in the App Store that offer Paid Subscriptions and Issues are using MagRocket. I've had the opportunity to work personally with many of the familiar faces on the Baker Github Community in implementing MagRocket to support their applications.

Up until a few weeks ago, I had been merrily working away on various MagRocket initiatives...until Davide approached me about becoming the new Baker Product Lead.

How could I turn down such an opportunity? It was an easy answer. I was immediately excited about all of the possibilities! Many of the ideas that had floated around on pieces of paper and in my head regarding MagRocket suddenly took on new life. Things that may have been difficult to accomplish from the outside all of a sudden seemed possible...

I am excited to share some of my ideas with you all. Things may change as we move forward. Wait, I'll rephrase that. Things will change as we move forward. Hopefully as you will see - for the better of all involved in this community and product.

My Baker Vision

I'm going to cheat a bit here because much of my vision for the future is based on what Davide, Alessandro and Marco set out 3 years ago to do. We will continue to "make high-quality digital publishing open to everyone". I think that simple idea will still be the cornerstone of all work going forward.

I want to get to the point where Baker is discussed as a viable and compelling alternative to Adobe DPS, Mag+, etc... Not because it's less expensive to get started and develop digital publications... But because it blows the other options out of the water!

I always think about this quote from Steve Jobs when I set out to do something in my life.

We’re here to put a dent in the universe. Otherwise why else even be here? Steve Jobs

My goal with Baker is to "put a dent" in the digital publishing universe... I want people to look at our product and compare it with things that cost thousands upon thousands of dollars to purchase, yet sit in amazement and wonder how they can get something just as (if not more) powerful and flexible for such a low cost.

So how do we as the Baker community put a dent in the digital publishing universe?

Well, to start - here are my thoughts on a few different areas and new initiatives that you will start hearing and seeing more about in the coming months.

As Davide alluded to a need to streamline the process of Newsstand publishing with Baker. Much of my work on MagRocket will move to a more Baker Framework focus and MagRocket as a standalone product will be phased out.

One thing I want to make perfectly clear is that Baker itself will remain Free and Open Source under the BSD license terms. Baker API's will continue to be generic and accessible to Third Party Developers. It is not my goal to close any doors of opportunity with the platform, it's quite the opposite. I want to continue to build a community of developers and partners that strive to make Baker a premier publishing platform!

Baker Branding
To mark the transition to our exciting future, I'm planning on rebranding the Baker suite of products... You will start to see the new logo and mark being used across the various marketing collateral, GitHub, Twitter, and the Baker iOS project in the coming weeks. We will be keeping some continuity by leveraging the "B" mark as part of the future brand :)

Baker iOS Application
I see work continuing on the Baker iOS Application with various new features and enhancements to continue to be competitive and create a compelling end user experience.

I will be looking for suggestions and be doing some work to identify key opportunities to implement features that bring the Baker iOS product to parity with some of the highest rated $$ frameworks out there.

There are many features requested in the current Issues log, these will be reviewed and slated for future releases etc.

.HPUB will continue to be the standard going forward.

Baker Cloud Console SaaS

One of the things that I have always thought was missing from the Baker Framework was a hosted backend offering that is easy to use by developers and publishers. What I'm talking about is a simple offering that supports the required server side functionality to deliver an end to end Baker application. I envision a future where a developer can download the Xcode project, hop on over to the Baker Cloud website to register for an account and immediately be able to start developing and working on his/her project.

In today's world, the developer would need to go through the hassle of setting up their own server backend (if wanting to develop paid subscriptions) and deal with web hosts, .HPUB storage etc... All before really being able to get going.

The Baker Cloud Console will solve this issue. Much of my work with MagRocket will be leveraged in creating the Baker Cloud solution which will offer all the basic functionality for a developer/publisher to get their app from development to production.

I want to emphasize though that this solution still will require someone having their own developer account, Xcode knowledge and .HPUB creation skills. It will be a nuts and bolts implementation to as simply as possible build an end-to-end infrastructure.

Pricing will be simple and affordable. HPUBs will be stored and served from a solution such as Amazon S3 or Dreamhost DreamObjects. TBD

Other solutions offered by Third Party Developers and Companies might take this a step further and offer value added solutions that go beyond what the Baker Cloud offering will supply. That is great! I want to foster a marketplace of offerings that fulfill the various levels of people interested in publishing on the Baker Platform. There are many exciting opportunities! However I believe that it is essential for the goal of "putting a dent" to have an offering with full support of the Baker Framework team be available!

Baker Cloud Console (CE)
So you don't want to use the Baker Cloud Console? You want to host your own backend and tinker around with Linux servers?

:) The current Open Source version of the MagRocket Administration Console and API will be rebranded as the Baker Cloud Console (CE). CE stands for Community Edition.

I will plan on making some enhancements etc going forward on this product, however much of my focus will be on the Baker Cloud SaaS solution.

The CE product will continue to support the minimum requirements for managing and providing Free/Paid Subscription support for the Baker iOS Application.

Baker Partnership Programs
This is one that I'm really excited about. I want to create new programs and affiliations for Developers, Partners and Supporters of the Baker Framework.

Like many programs that exist for other technologies and platforms - these opportunities will give Developers and others Third Party Partners various ways to get involved with the Baker Project.

I'll definitely expound more on what this means in the future.

The Baker Market
I envision creating something similar to "CodeCanyon" or the Envato Marketplace for Baker related goods.

Developers will have the opportunity to sell various goods in an official "Baker Market".

What types of goods am I talking about? Things that initially come to mind are Shelf Graphic Skins, HTML Magazine Templates, in5 Templates, Custom Code Libraries, other value added content creation assets, etc...

This is one way that I feel can enhance the adoption and excitement around the platform!

Wow, I think I typed way too much. I don't want this to become some sort of manifesto! :)

In closing I just want to again thank the Baker Team for this opportunity and for the passing of the torch for this exciting and compelling product. They have offered to remain associated with the project as Advisors and I definitely welcome their input on future strategy and planning.

Look for more information in the coming weeks as we get things situated in the new GitHub repo!

Andrew

Hey Guys, I'm struggling with Analytics.

I would like to be able to see the name of each pages (title tag in the html) per issue the user viewed.

For instance :
ISSUE 1: Article1, Article12, etc...
ISSUE2 : Article23, Article4, etc…
and so on.

So far all i can track is UI Action and what issue has been viewed.
I guess the track of the current page is around there:

else if ([[notification name] isEqualToString:@"BakerViewPage"]) {
// Track here when a specific page is opened
BakerViewController *bakerview = [notification object];

But so far I was totally unable to have it work.

Hi
I am trying to set up in app purchases within my baker app and was wondering if it was possible to have a 6 month subscription and a 1 year subscription using auto renewable in app purchases as well as having non renewable in app purchases in the same app? (so people can download a single issue if they did not want to subscribe).

If so how do I set this up?

Also if i was using non renewable in app purchase (so people download a single issue at a time) do I need to do a non renewable in app purchase for each issue in the store?

There was some discussion prior on the behavior of the app when responding to Push Notifications. Specifically if we are able to refresh the shelf when a push notification is received (not a background download content notification).

Not even sure if this is still a problem? Just need to ensure that the shelf gets refreshed.
