This can be useful when you have thumb/button popups in one page. And when they are clicked they open in new tab.
Remember Flipbooks cannot just open in a tab like PDFs open in browser tab. They need to open inside your site using a page URL.
Requirements: #
Normally a page is required to display a flipbook. It self cannot exist in a browser tabs without being inside a page from your site. In-fact this solution opens in a flipbook post page. Example: https://wordpress.dearflip.com/books/meat-atlas/
This Feature Requires dFlip Posts Setting to be enabled. After enabling/Disabling . It is necessary to Goto WpAdmin->Settings->Permalinks and click on save button to update the permalinks.
Once the permalinks are saved, The individual flipbook posts get their own permalink.
Using Shortcode: #
Opening that page using thumb/button popups is possible from version 2.1 using Shortcode
Shortcode Attribute | Description | Example |
target=”_popup” | Default. Opens in popup | Opens flipbook in Popup |
target=”_self” | Open in same page but redirects. | Redirects to flipbook |
target=”_blank” | Opens in new tab/window | Opens Flipbook in new tab |
Sample Shortcode Examples: #
[dflip type="thumb" id=1019 target="_blank"][/dflip]
[dflip type="button" id=1019 target="_popup"][/dflip]
[dflip type="button" id=1019 target="_self"][/dflip]
Using Global Settings: #
Instead of Shortcode you can use the setup for through out your site using Global Settings. Under Popup/Lightbox tab set the Popup Target setting to New Tab.
