Embeds (Minipapers)
Description
Minipapers is a method for which to easily embed a miniaturized version of a flipbook on your website. The following view options are available:
Perspective—displays a three-dimensional flipbook
Single page—displays a single page on the flipbook
Spread—displays a spread on the flipbook
Page slider—displays an animated slider showing pages and spreads of a pre-defined page range
Once integrated on your website, clicking on a minipaper will redirect the user to the actual flipbook being displayed.
Redirecting to an alternative URL
It is possible to override the default link action and target when a user clicks on the embedded minipaper. This behavior can be configured by appending relevant query strings to the URL found in the src
attribute of the <iframe>
element in the embed code. For example, given the following embed snippet:
The URL to be modified will be the string <MinipaperEmbedUrl>
. The following query strings are supported:
If you want multiple query string keys to be attached to the URL, you can separate them using the &
character, i.e.: <MinipaperEmbedUrl>?targetUrl=<Url>&target=<Target>
. The order of the queries does not matter.
Note:
As per specification, all values in query strings must be properly URL-encoded. There are several online tools for encoding text for use in query strings, for example: https://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/dencoder/.
Preserving aspect ratio
If you want to preserve the aspect ratio of the embedded minipaper, so that it is scaled proportionately in a page with responsive design, we suggest using the padding-bottom
trick, which will force an aspect ratio of your choice on the surrounding container. The element displaying the minipaper—the <iframe>
element—should then be positioned absolutely relative to this container.
For example, if a 2:1 ratio is desired for a container, padding-bottom: 50%
should be used:
