repeater and pageFlip help

[Roych]

Hello,

I'm having some problems with repeater and PDF PageFlip. I'm using THIS script.

I have "Files" field (for single PDF) and "image" field (for first cover preview on a shelf) in repeater and all works great, if I add only one PDF to repeater. When I add another repeater item, second one doesn't work.

Not sure what I'm doing wrong. It looks normal on a shelf but does not open a pageflip PDF animation.

My code:

    <div class="bookshelf">
        <div class="covers">
	
			<?php foreach ($item->flipbook_repeater as $book) :?>				
				<?php $link =  $book->pdf_datoteka->first->url;?>
					<script type="text/javascript">
	
						$(document).ready(function () {
							$("#container").flipBook({

								pdfUrl:"<?=$link;?>",
							
								responsiveView: true,
								lightBox:true
							});
						})
					</script>
	
			<div  id="container" class="thumb book-<?=$sanitizer->name($book->single_image->filename);?>"><img src="<?=$book->single_image->url;?>"></div>
			<?php endforeach ;?>
        </div>
      
        <img class="shelf-img" src="https://www.my-site.com/site/templates/assets/plugins/flipquery/deploy/images/shelf_wood.png">
    </div>

I hope you understand what I mean here.

Thank you in adwance

You have this div inside a foreach. Which means that you get multiple div#container in your HTML which will not validate and might cause problems with JS. You can add unique ids to the id with something like

div  id="container-<?= $book->id ?>"

 and see if that helps.

Hi @Roych

You add the JS script within the foreach loop. That means the same script include jn the page many times. I think the JS script should reside outside the foreach loop.

Maybe place the script just before the closing body tag </body>.

yes the url to the file is in js so not sure how to call it outside of the foreach for each link (if u know what I mean). With the changed ID (above) it is now working great. Not sure if it is the best way but, no problems so far.

I think it is totally ok to instantiate the script multiple times within the foreach.
