Preview of paid content

Publishers of paid publications can enable free access to selected pages of every issue to the readers.

This can be used as an equivalent of flipping through a magazine in newsstand before buying it, and at the same time it is very useful when sharing on social sites. If you have, for example, a five-page-long interview in your magazine you can unlock the first page and share it on Facebook as enticement.

Reader’s View

A new button titled Preview has been added, that opens the first unlocked article of given issue. After a couple of seconds a dialog box will open offering the choice to buy the full issue, the reader can close this box by clicking and continue reading.

If the reader clicks on page preview, a free preview or (when the article is locked) a general graphical preview of said page with dialog box offering the choice to buy the full issue will open, according to the specific situation. In this case the dialog box with the offer cannot be closed, the reader can only continue to the next page.

Preview button

This is how the dialog box with the offer to buy the full issue looks like. Notice the buttons Previous free article/Next free article.

Buying

Settings according to the Publisher’s Request

As soon as you set any issue as paid, the column preview will show up in its overview. This column can be used for unlocking individual pages as free to read. Do not forget to publish the issue at the end, or more precisely update it, otherwise the changes will not take effect.

Full-fledged reader app within another website (IFRAME)

If the number of readers of digital publication is important to you, strongly consider using, besides the application for Android and iOS, also the web platform Triobo. Thanks to the web platform anyone can look inside magazines or catalogues even without installation (and using just ordinary computer); the platform can also be used to share individual articles (pages) on social sites etc.

There is also a way that allows the web form of a publication to be viewed on a different website. Example? You have certainly seen a YouTube video embedded into an online blog, this is basically the same. In our case, you can for example have a window with the newest issue of your company magazine in the middle of an article on your company website. The reader can flip through this magazine directly, the icon for enlarging the window to full screen is also present (in the top-right corner).

Note: we offer a trivial version with less functionality too, probably more appropriate – given the way how it is displayed – for promotion of paid publications. More in a separate tutorial.

All you need to do is insert a simple HTML code to your website, for example:

<iframe style="width:768px; height:512px; border: 0px none;" src="https://casopis.finmag.cz" allowFullScreen="true" webkitAllowFullScreen="true"></iframe>

You can freely change the parameters (particularly the size of the window). Insert the web address of your digital magazine or catalogue into the parameter SRC. The result can be seen below:

What are your options?

1) The reader application is being displayed in the same way as the application on tablet or on website – the opening page is overview of all published issues. This variant can be seen on the example above.

2) The opening page is a specific issue page or specific published issue (that is you skip the overview of all published issues). Simply change the parameter SRC by inserting the web address of a specific page. This can be useful for example for the preview of cited issue page.

The way in which the webpage is displayed – being displayed in reduced size so that it can be viewed fully even without scrolling, or being displayed without reducing size at the cost of having to scroll – is based on the settings of your web export. You can adjust this in Triobo editor.

Code example:

<iframe style="width:768px; height:512px; border: 0px none;" src="https://www.south-moravia.online/moravia-convention-bu/brno-exhibition-centre-characteristics-/" allowFullScreen="true" webkitAllowFullScreen="true"></iframe>

The specific page will open:

3) The opening page is the first page of the last published issue (the last published issue is chosen automatically at the given moment). For this you must use the following parameter ?action=opennewestissue, which you insert into the SRC.

The resulting code looks for example like this:

<iframe style="width:768px; height:400px; border: 0px none;" src="https://casopis.finmag.cz/?action=opennewestissue" allowFullScreen="true" webkitAllowFullScreen="true"></iframe>

The first page of the last published issue will open:

Folders and groups

In digital publishing Triobo (tariff Professional) you can arrange individual publications and releases into logical arrangements (i.e. folders and groups).

Folder

The term “folder” is used in connection with Triobo Kiosk, when there are more magazines in one application (or on one web site) sorted into folders. Each magazine is independent, has its own subscription, magazine detail design, push notifications etc. Every folder corresponds to a specific publication in Triobo editor.

Group

You can have any number of groups within given publication. A group is more releases of one publication (see publication in the meaning of Triobo editor) arranged together. You can typically set groups for individual years of magazine issues (and leave the current year outside of groups where it is directly visible), or in the case of specialized publishing portal for related entries such as “materials for sales representatives”, “catalogues” etc. The fact that every release can be in more groups is a tremendous advantage. Another advantage is optimization of the amount of downloaded data for the reader.

Group is viewed by Triobo editor as a specific type of tag.

Application user interface – languages

The content of applications and web sites created using Triobo is decided by the publisher, including the language of every publication. In relation to that we have absolutely zero limitations.

  • English (EN)
  • German (DE)
  • Spanish (ES)
  • Russian (RU)
  • Finnish (FI)
  • Italian (IT)
  • Polish (PL)
  • Czech (CS)
  • Slovak (SK)

(as of: June 2018)

We are preparing: French, Chinese and Hindi. If you need any other language, just let us know.

Language preference of the application is automatically selected based on the settings of reader’s device.

Subscription types

The publisher has the option of setting any duration for the subscription (or more subscriptions) of digital magazine. Usually half a year and one year. Details can be found in special article.

Furthermore, the content of the subscription can be set as follows:

  • the subscription unlocks current release of the magazine plus all new issues published during the configured duration (default variant)
  • the subscription unlocks all new issues published during the configured duration and in addition complete archive of all previous issues

Your selected variant is set by us in Triobo when creating / updating the application.
