Hi richardh9935,
are you referring to the documents filled in the field named "File"? If yes, unfortunately your method can't work because currently the root of the document path (/images) can't be changed by user (see "Files folder path" field in Abook configuration).

Hi projects,
you can access the price value in the book view by $this->item->price

Supporto (Support) / Selling Books

In the extension, there is a field for the price of the book.  How would I access that field so I could sell the book in someone wanted it?  I would like to be able to use a PayPal plugin, or something similar to process the transaction.

I'm still very happy with Abook, and my academic users like it too.

Joomla 5.3 has added the "~/files" media folder, so I think integration of PDFs into Abook will look more attractive than using the "~images/" media folder.

Like you, I don't want a system change that requires me to spend hours re-cataloguing the books.

Would the method below work?
1. Abook allows users to specify either ~/images/LibraryBooks or ~/files/LibraryBooks.

2. User administrators who want to move to ~/files do these steps:
2.1 Duplicate their existing ~/images/LibraryBooks folder eg to ~/images/LibraryBooksDuplicated
2.2 Move ~/images/LibraryBooksDuplicated to ~/files/LibraryBooksDuplicated
2.4 Rename ~/files/LibraryBooksDuplicated to ~/files/LibraryBooks
2.5 Go to Alexandria Book Library "Options", Book tab, and change the Files folder path option from ~/images/LibraryBooks to ~/files/LibraryBooks.
2.6 Test the retrieval of PDFs and other Abook functionality, and, if all OK,
2.6.1 Delete ~/images/LibraryBooks

Good morning Federica,

I think I have fixed it !
There was one book that had a * flag ... not sure why or how that happened.
I opened the book, and saved it again, * flag was gone.
Checked the Global Check in ... no message anymore regarding abook table.
Ran the Joomla Update Checker ... seems like I am ready to go 😀

Thank you for your time !
Have a great day
Warm regards
~ Philip

Hi Philip,
it seems that the error is related to a value that the field does not accept.
What is the name of the field where the error occurs?

Hi Alexandria,

I wanted to upgrade to J5.2.6. but was attended to a database task regarding jos_abbook table.
When I try to check it in, it throws an error

"An error has occurred.
    1292 Truncated incorrect DECIMAL value: ''

What can I do to fix this ?

Many thanks for you response!
Kind regards
~ Philip

The message "This plugin is not supported" in the Chrome app on an Android device may appear when the content requires Adobe Flash Player. Flash Player was removed from the Google Play Store in 2012.

If this is your case I can't do anything
