Promote a specific Issue with a Cover Image

A nice way to show your users ALL of your issues available under one title is the embedded bookshelf object.

You need to enable the "show archives" for the title in Edit Title>Options in order to use the embedded bookshelf object.

While in your "manage titles and issues" view select "Book Shelf" from the Promote dropdown menu.

You'll see a popup window appear and you can just copy the auto-generated embed code using the default settings OR build your custom bookshelf by changing the options:

  • size (width and height):  Customize the display size of your bookshelf
  • covers per screen:  How many cover thumbnails do you want to display per screen?  If you have more issues under the title than the number specified here, the bookshelf will have multiple pages for the end user to navigate through.  Also if you choose more covers than can fit in the specified size above, there will be scroll bars present in order to view all covers.
  • theme:  there are 6 different themes, choose which one you like the best
    1. Natural Wood (default)
    2. Light Wood
    3. Dark Wood
    4. Metallic
    5. Light Metallic (white)
    6. Transparent (no background)
  • other options: Here you can enable or disable the option to show the Title name for your bookshelf. Also an option to show pagination on your bookshelf.

Once you are done customizing, you can see what your bookshelf will look like in the preview pane on the right of the popup.

When you are satisfied, just copy the embed code using your mouse OR the "copy to clipboard" button. 

Click "finished" when you are done and go paste the copied code in your webpage or blog entry.
