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.

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

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?
