Thanks for the input. RobertG! I thought it would be a simple fix like one line of code. What you describe is much more complex problem than I realized.

Richieste (Requests) / Alexandria Book Library for Jo...

Last post by RobertG - 28 October 2025, 11:04:13

Hello,

I'm using Abook for a very long time. I think I was the first to translate that extension to French on January 2011.

My website uses Joomla! 5.4.0 and Abook 4.0.6 but needs to use the compatibility plugin to work.
I'm no a developer but I have enough experience to make some changes in PHP.

I tried to adapt Alexandria Book to J6 and made a lot of changes for classes, some are missing, and at the moment I have two problems in the administration: the categories list in category and book creation/edition page remain empty, and I can't create lends. I haven't found the cause for the categories (JavaScript?) and for the lends.
At the moment, the frontend is not working.

I would like to know if you plan to modify Abook for this new version of Joomla! or if I need to find another solution.

Regards,
Robert

Hi,

I changed a lot of classes to "use" declarations. It remains a lot of "jimport" lines to change, but the main problem is very old classes as JToolBarHelper or HTMLHelperSidebar that I won't be able to change.
I don't understand how AB can work with these old classes, even with the compatibility plugin.

Hi,

Alexandria Book Library needs the compatibilty plugin for J5, sot the extensions is not Joomla! 6 compatible.
It needs a lot of changes.
Is Federica planning to make these updates?

Yesterday I intended to upgrade to Joomla 6, but was stopped by a new plugin that gave JFactory error for Abook router. Also another extension had problems.

Try the lastest version 4.0.6 https://alexandriabooklibrary.org/en/downloads/28-modules.html
You can see the "Random" option (available only for sort=tags or metakeys).
Let me know if it is ok.
