NC21 - Not saving anything

[lemonlim3]

Latest release opens books fine but does not save progress, bookmarks, settings etc.

Same issue here, please fix it.

I have the same issue in NC 20 with the version 1.4.6.

I reverted to the version 1.4.5 and it retains at least the last position !

EDIT : after switching to NextCloud 22 and the master branch, it saves the last position 👍

[thang-qt]

Any update on this?

It would be reallly awesome to enable the saving of comments/annotations so that EPUBs can be reviewed by colleagues.

Same issue here.

EDIT: Display settings (page width, custom colors, etc.) don't seem to save either.

New and fresh install Nextcloud 23 with EPUB/CBZ/PDF ebook reader 1.4.7
Does not save anything,sadly.
I made a new One-Click-Install on a dedicated remote server. Everything works fine but this ebook reader.

I think I discovered why it won't save anything on some instance :

• the reader seems to uses url without the index.php in it (aka using mod_rewrite from apache) even if it is not activated by nextcloud
• the reader seems to use the folder "apps" even if the apps is another folder than "apps", but this must be double checked

So as for now, if you can activated the URL using "mod_rewrite" (or check if there is no missing "RewriteBase /" in the .htaccess file) it should save everything.

I tried to figure it out but didn't get it working to save the preferences or read pages.
The app is installed in the default folder "app". I installed a default Nextcloud installation.
Rewriting is activated. I get a green button from Nextcloud check without one warning.
Rewriting for Caldav/Webdav works.
All other apps are working fine. I get no errors in my logs.
At the end I give up.

The issue is in the epubreader app, not in your nextcloud installation.

I tried to fix the saving for epub files in PR #42

Could other users try this fix and give me feedback ?

how did you manage to revert it? when I just copy untarred 1.4.5 release, it produces an internal server error.

I "reverted" it by moving the app to the standard app folder "apps", instead of the customer one I created.

IMHO, to get the last position saving to work, you must have the latest version n the "apps" folder, and no other "epubreader" folder in any custom apps directory.

I tried the latest version of epubreader on clean installs of NC 22 and 23 and it didn't work. Are you saying that by default the app is installed into the wrong folder?

Does your install have URL rewriting activated ?
I think it's a needed condition too !
