Hi
I'm working on a project, where i need to put aprox 800 magazines online, and i'm wondering, what is the best way to do this, pdf, and is there a library like plugin that can be of use to keep track of all the magazines ?
Short story: The magazines are scans of the originals, and is supposed to be viewed like that, via a page-flip-thing, but the thing is that there are articles that run over several issues, so a link is needed to bind them together if the viewer wants to read to the end before hitting some sort of a return-button for reading the rest the magazine.
Another task is to bind them all together in an author database, like when reaching the end of an article, and then you can click the authors name and a list pops up with articles he or she has wrote, and then you should be able to click them and be taken to them, in the issue where they are located.
A future task is to make it all searchable, so it will be possible to search for words or a sentence.
All in all we are talking 20.000+ pages, each magazine containing around 20-30 pages. Each magazine should be readable on its own, like you have a bookshelf where you pick the issue you want to read.
First of all, is pdf the best way to do this, and second, is there a plugin that can keep track of all the issues on a website, a library like thing, and i assume that the pdf files is best placed on the disk and links to them be put in the database ?
All the best
