JoomPlace Blog → How to turn your PDF into a Flipping Magazine QUICKLY?

Category: JoomPlace extensions

What we’ve done

We updated Flash Magazine Deluxe with the MultiUpload tool to help you save your time and turn your PDF magazines into a real Adobe Flash based page-flipping magazine in minutes. Just convert PDF into images and create a magazine from a package with images. No programming tricks needed!

See the brief instructions:

  • Convert PDF to Images

    Use some free or paid soft for converting. We tested tool 123PDF to Image for Windows. It’s really easy to use.

  • Upload images

    Images may be uploaded to any folder of your site relative to Joomla! root directory or arranged as a package of images. Please note that your server should allow uploading files of big size in case you use the package method.

  • Create a magazine and configure its look&feel

  • Create pages using the MultiUpload feature

Why we didn’t develop all-in-one solution

  • We could create a script to work on all kind of servers. We didn’t do it, though, to avoid additional bugs and be sure that users will get what they expect
  • Too many of Joomla! extensions have more options than you need. We decided to avoid over-loading Flash Magazine Deluxe leaving it simple and usable

JoomPlace Blog → Develop Your JomSocial Community Marketing Strategy

Category: JoomPlace extensions

AUP is a way to create a pretend currency, i.e. "money" for a site. A little like Facebook Credits. You can suggest your users to earn AUP points for answering a survey. Then the points can be spent on different things. You can suggest any product, preference or entering a raffle for the points.

It's most important to have something valuable to spend the points on. Money is not good if you can spend it on nothing! Some ideas for you:

  • You could upgrade a membership subscription for points;
  • A storeman could provide the discount coupons to people who earn points;
  • You could launch a raffle, and give your product to the winners, and suggest a special coupon code to the ones who didn’t achieve a success.

See AUP website for more ideas - http://www.alphaplug.com/index.php.

Share your experience on using the Alpha User Plugin together with Survey Force Deluxe. Your feedback inspires to add more and more new features or
