Title: deifferent layout abook modules [SOLVED]
Post by: K4Khan on 20 April 2012, 23:36:48
Hello
I tried to use the abook module several times. Cloning the module is ok as it gives u the options to showp books in different orders  but I was wondering if it was possible to use different layouts for the cloned abook modules? In case yes how can this be done!

thanks

Hi K4Khan,
yes, you have to use the alternative layout function.
You can see the guide following this link:
Alternative Layout Feature (http://docs.joomla.org/Layout_Overrides_in_Joomla_1.6)

hii there
I am trying to set the parameters for displaying the books horizontally (forexample x per row) but no luck yet. I also set the module position to horizontal but nothing changes. Will you be so kind enough to have a look at it.
please see your pm for username and password.

thanks in advance

Hi K4Khan,
I looked at your site, the books in abook-allinone module are already displayed horizontally.

Hi Federica

Yess after a clean installtion (joomla) it did work. I dont exacyly know what the problem was. anyways it is now solved. I will post it if I got other issues with it.
btw: What would be the steps undertaken in order to make the (library clickable) so if someone wants to know the list of books published by this patricular library so that they can see? I assume that it needs the same configuration as the "author". Am I rght?

kind regards
