Keep the gozim bar in the pages
Visiting a zim page, takes out all gozim interface from the web page.
It'd be nice if it were still visible, for Search and so on.
The way the zim files are rendered makes it difficult, it returns a full <html></html>, I don't see any solutions out of ugly iframes.I'm not into html so except if you want to give it a try, I will close this one.
With kiwix-serve, we introduce a bar by modifying the DOM. Not perfect solution, but works in 99% of the cases... Here is how it looks like: http://library.kiwix.org/wikipedia_en_wp1/
Looks good :+1:
kiwix-serve will be maintained? Cause the absence of working/maintained http server for zim files was the main reason to create gozim, if kiwix-serve is here to stay, gozim is not that important anymore (except kiwix-serve is using c++ :p )
@akhenakh
Why do you think kiwix-serve is not maintained? kiwix-serve is an important part of Kiwix project, has been existing for ~ 5years and is maintained as good as we can by volunteers developer.
I really appreciate to have many other ZIM readers, and this is great to have one in go too. Would be sad to see you abandoning that project.
@kelson42 I find it hard to get the right information about binaries and Kiwix. http://www.kiwix.org/wiki/Debian and latest binary is from 2014 but maybe I can't find the right one?
I've spent a lot of time looking for a simple working http server for zim file before creating gozim, I found some in C++ but it was a pain to compile mainly because it was using very old libraries, I don't remember if it was kiwix-serve, I'll give it a try.
I hope to continue but it's difficult to maintain this project, alone, behind the official implementation.
Yes, last binaries are from 2014. We should release 0.9.1 in the next months but this includes only a few fixes. Feel free to improve or report if you find things which are not clear on openzim.org (web site for the format). Happy to hear kiwix-serve works for you :)
