Hyperlinks in html files not working

    Hello, I have set up a test using the lite version to evaluate this plugin for our needs before purchasing Pro. We need to create our flipbooks from HTML rather than PDF so I chose this plugin as it supports that feature. However hyperlinks in the HTML do not seem to work. Nothing happens when they are clicked. The hyperlink is definitely set up correctly (<a href=”url”>link text</a>) and it works in the original HTML file when that file is opened directly in the brower. I have the interactive box checked for each page in the 3D flipbook settings. What am I missing? How do I make hyperlinks in the flipbook work?

    Thanks very much!

    Hello? Is there no support for this plugin? Are hyperlinks not supposed to work?

    hi, sorry for dellay, add js code to handel click event and open clicked link in the way that you need. Any way, we do not recommend any dynamic content in html sources, use css layers with visual page editor for this.

    The entire reason we are using HTML instead of PDF is so the flipbooks can be generated automatically from dynamic website content. We have no interest in using a page builder as if we were going to manually build pages then we could do PDF’s. I’m currently evaluating various flipbook scripts to decide which one is best for this project. I don’t understand your suggestions to add js code to handle click event. I understand javascript. I know what a click event is. I just don’t understand the suggestion with relation to this plugin, which is supposed to work out the box for HTML files. Can you please provide the code snippet which would need to be added? Where would this code snippet be added?

    Thanks

    For example:

    <!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en" dir="ltr">
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title></title>
    <style type="text/css">
      body {
        margin: 0;
        padding: 30px;
        background-color: #fff;
        width: 1024px;
        height: 1365px;
      }
      a {
        cursor: pointer;
        font-size: 20px;
      }
    </style>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>Hello</h1>
    <a onclick="window.open('https://3dflipbook.net')">Click me</a>
  </body>
</html>

    Plugin cannot use live html as a texture for 3D objects, so it renders it using SVG foreign object. HTML file itself is loaded in iframe and the plugin simulates the same events in iframe that happens for the 3D object. That is why we recommend to use it html only for drawing background and use CSS layers for all dynamic content.
