Hi Thijs,
I just purchased this app.
I have two questions.
1. How do I save the page on wikibooks on to my iphone?
2. I tried setting ‘Offline’ option to ‘Yes’, but then how I view these pages later, when not connected to the internet?
Please reply asap. Thanks in advance.
Hi Raghu,
I’ve posted this document here that should answer your questions: How to download and view offline articles. Saving an article is exactly how you’ve described it. Please note that it might take some time to
actually download the whole article, depending on your network connection. Viewing an offline article is done via the search-screen
with the bookmarks-button in the search-field. Then you select the ‘Downloads’ tab, and there you’ll see all articles you’ve downloaded so far.
I noticed that Wikibooks stores it’s books in multiple articles (e.g. chapters). Currently it is not possible to download a complete book at once (since the app doesn’t know the difference between a chapter-link and a regular link), but you’ll need to download each article separately. I’ll take a look at it later, if this can be optimized, so that a book can be downloaded at once, by downloading its main-article.
I hope this answers your questions!
With regards,
Thijs Reus
