Hi everyone,
I found a small change that needed to be made in Laurel's ruby wrapper
and it now works.

ruby wrapper?

2010-01-15T23:35:04Z

Hi all,
Is anyone else interested in a ruby wrapper? I didn't see one listed
on the site so I "wrote" one (basically a straight port of the python
wrapper). The API calls mostly work except I get "General Error"
whenever I go to a preview url. I emailed support @sharedbook and am
waiting to hear back.

Hi Jason,

The feature to remove line breaks between articles is currently not
exposed to the API. Can you let us know which language/wrapper you're
using? That'll help us focus our efforts if adding this feature to the
API gets on the development calendar.

articles and page breaks

2009-11-24T05:04:47Z

Hi,

I am exploring the SharedBook API in order to print a blog that's not
one of the currently supported options. I like it so far, except that
it starts each article on a new page. I would like the articles to
start as soon as the previous one ended, without a page break, similar
to print2blog for blogger.com. Is there an option I can pass to the

Hi Velimir,

I believe this is a problem with sending in extended or non-ascii
characters. You'll have to replace them as closely as possible with
ascii characters.

Some sample code is below. Hopefully it will cover the characters used
in your text.

$badChars=array(chr(0xe2).chr( 0x80).chr(0x98),chr(0xe2).chr( 0x80).chr

sharedbook problem

2008-12-17T06:56:24Z

Hi to all!

I am trying to create book with PHP Wrapper.
Sometimes I succeed, sometimes not due to following error "2 error:
The signature doesn't match the request parameters".

When analyzing why I got this mistake I found out that it happened
because of chapterText length.
Is there a limit for this parameter?

Hi Jonathan,
1) There isn't a redirect URL specifically after checkout. However, in a
partnership arrangement, we can set the upper left corner of the
application to link back to the redirect URL along with a branded logo.
2) In order to ensure a user can return to their book, they need to
customize their book on the SharedBook site. That process will prompt

API Questions

2008-06-24T20:49:28Z

Hi all,

A few questions...

1 Is there a redirect URL that can be set for when the user has
completed paying for their book?

2 Does the bmsId ever expire? (e.g., can we reuse it again later if
the user chooses to come back to their book)?

3 Is a bmsId scoped around an authToken or can we use a single

Hello all,
Most of you have probably seen this already on our Announcement list,
but not everyone is subscribed to both, so read on if you dare:
This is a reminder that the SharedBook API Challenge ends at midnight on
Wednesday, October 31. You should have just enough time to finish up

When you personolize the book, both photos are available in the photo library.
The only difference between them is the way you add them to the book.

Thanks Alex. I didn't know there was embedded photo :) and it sounds
like a good solution to me. But I guess gallery photo has greater
flexibility over embedded as they should also be available in photo
library when personalizing a book.
Many Thanks,
Chen

Re: adding photo available on internet

Hello Chen,
There are actually 2 types of photos, that you can add to the book.
1. Embedded photo - it's a photo that appears inside an article. You
can use a regular IMG tag, for example:
<img src='[link] owner='alex' floatStyle='right'>. It
will be downloaded by Sharedbook application while building the book.

adding photo available on internet

2007-10-24T20:51:02Z

(I haven't tried this myself) I just wonder if when adding photos,
would it be possible to use those available on internet by giving url
address like [link] instead of local
file path. The problem I experience when building an app using
sharedbook apis is that it seems to force the use of local photos when

Thanks very much Ben. As I said I'll do some experiments myself and
more importantly, I'd submit something for the extended api challenge
hopefully. You've done a brilliant job releasing the api, now it's
time to have it for great use.
