[edit] What can this extension do?
This extension allow the usage of a new <ipaper></ipaper> tag to embed the flash-based document viewer from scribd, allowing you to view just about any document that is supported on their site (MS Office, OpenOffice, Postscript, PDF, RTF etc)
You'll need a freely-available Scribd API Account - it's easy to set up. A future release may not require this for simpler usage.
This extension is in no way affiliated with Scribd, Inc, though uses their publicly-available PHP Client Library It's just an easy way to use the iPaper document viewer within a Mediawiki context. Try it!
[edit] Usage
- First upload your document to Scribd.
- Embed the iPaper using the following syntax:
<ipaper>id|key=key|title=title|width=width|height=height|bgcolor=#ffffff</ipaper>
The only mandatory field is the id, which you can get from your uploaded page's URL See this useful help on the Symbian Developer wiki.
[edit] Download instructions
