I have the embed code, but I don't know how to embed it on the server. I can embed it on my website, but I don't want it to keep linking back to Flipbook.

I don't know this for sure, but maybe you can do it the way it is explained here:
https://flippingbook.com/presentation-examples
Scroll down the page and find a heading saying 'Branded direct link'.

I see them showing it being done, just not how to do it. I am under the impression that it should be able to be on the server, similar to how my Contact forms are, but I don't even see them on the server under my projects. I believe that they are also just HTML files.

Have you tried doing this all within site designer?? no links to 3rd party no embedded code, just some custom CSS?

Mind you it sort of depends on the content, do you have an example of the book you want flipping?

I saved this as an HTML file, but what I got from them was just a string of code. I have that dropped into my website through SD, but it still links back to Flipbook and I'll have to keep a subscription to them or it will no longer work. Unless, as they told me, I could have it reside on the Coffeecup server. Attached is the Text version as I cannot attach the HTML. This is one of four that I am doing.

Your link displays a 'page not found' message. I think the link should start with https://your-username.coffeecup.com, where 'your-username' should be replaced by your actual username at CC.

I have all the Flipbooks working from Flipbook to get my website functional, but I still need to be able to launch them from the server. I have the files on my S-Drive with the exception of:
.htaccess
web.config

The server is rejecting those. I don't know what part they play, but I am sure I need to get them in the folder on the S-Drive. Then I need to know how to link my files from the S-Drive to my page. The path on my S-Drive is:
jedaniels/site/why_is_Jesus_flipbook/index.html

I just don't know how to put that in my form to retrieve that. I would really appreciate some help!!!

If the 3rd. party subscription charges ( https://flippingbook.com/order-online ) are the main concern, it seems to me that the choice is between paying the subscription charges or not using that software service. The branding option would scarcely allow one to use the service for free, and it is, of course, right that the service be paid for.

Wayan's suggestion ("Have you tried doing this all within site designer?? no links to 3rd party no embedded code, just some custom CSS?") seems the best idea if continuing the subscription would be difficult.

Last night, I played with it some more and was able to upload everything in RSD, except the two files I listed above, and was able to open it from a text link. It seems I do not need those two files. I paid for these so that I could drop them directly on the site and disconnect from Flipbook. Flipbook sent me the files to do that.
Right now, the files are in the resource folder. I just need to figure out the verbiage to be able to open it when the Submit button is clicked on my form. My field options are:
Confirmation message (that's what I used with the linked copy to flipbook)
Redirect to another URL
Redirect to a custom HTML page

I would prefer, of course, for this to pop up on the page. I just cannot, after many, many tries, figure out the language needed to do that.
Thank you,
Bryan
