Do you think I can update my website and migrate it to Joomla version 6 just yet?

In general, yes, but if you want, you can wait for Joomla to validate the component.

I forgot: tested on PHP 8.5 

No problem, Joomla currently recommends PHP8.4 https://manual.joomla.org/docs/next/get-started/technical-requirements/

Supporto (Support) / Batch processing (location)

Last post by RobertG - 18 August 2026, 16:33:25

Hi,

I'm trying to reorganise my personal library by grouping books by author, and I'd like to specify their location on the shelves in Abook.

Apart from running complex SQL queries directly on the database to populate the idlocation field in the #__abbook table, is there a simpler solution? For example, I have 18 books by a particular author on the 'Office B2' shelf (ID 3), and I'd prefer not to have to edit all 18 books (my library currently contains 468).

Thank you for your advice.

Thank you, Federica!
Tested on two sites – locally and on a remote server – the indexing worked perfectly.

As for indexing, I ran another search: the query still returns 1 in "protected function getListQuery($query = null)" in finder/abbook/abook.php

Hi,

I tested Abook version 4.0.10 on two websites and didn't notice any errors on the frontend, even with PHP 8.5 
I haven't checked everything in the admin section yet.
Thank you, Federica!
