Errori (Bugs) / Re: AB 4.0.8 Categry bug on fr...
Last post by RobertG - 12 August 2026, 12:11:00It's odd – I've tested it on other sites, and on some of them, Alexandria Book's indexing stops at 50.
I've added another website: 393 articles, 45 categories and 1 contact have been indexed.
I cleared the index and started again, but nothing changed – the figures are exactly the same.
I installed Abook 4.0.9 and the Smart Search plugin, imported my own data, then activated the plugin and restarted the indexing process.
Now, I do have all the books, but only 30 categories of articles instead of 45, and no articles or contacts at all!
It's incomprehensible.

Last post by federica - 12 August 2026, 11:18:43You are right but I found that the same behavior happens even with articles.
I tried to clear index (maintenance->clear index) then re-index again.
In my installation not even one article is indexed, but when I modify an article then it is indexed.

Last post by RobertG - 12 August 2026, 10:02:52Federica, I'm testing a client's site on my server.
The site contains 1,428 articles. I cleared the index and restarted it; the result is indeed 1,428 indexed articles.
Indexing is carried out in batches and does not stop at the end of the first batch; it continues until everything that can be indexed has been indexed..
On my website, only 100 of the 468 books have been indexed, and to index the rest, I have to edit them one by one and save them. Once I've done that, they're added to the index.
Why does this indexing stop after the first batch?

Last post by federica - 11 August 2026, 22:05:44Joomla settings allow you to limit the index to avoid uncontrolled database growth and excessive workload in generating search results. The "Indexer Batch Size" value depends on your server's performance.

Last post by RobertG - 11 August 2026, 19:51:46OK, it's true, nut isn't there a risk of an error if I increase?
I set it to 100, and 100 books are now indexed – no more. Even If I restart the indexation.
Why aren't the following being sought?

Last post by federica - 11 August 2026, 19:41:08Thank you too
Go to Smart search configuration->index->Indexer Batch Size
This parameter is probably set to "50"

Last post by RobertG - 11 August 2026, 19:27:54Thank you, Federica!
I have 468 books, but only 50 were indexed.
What could explain this limitation?

Last post by RobertG - 10 August 2026, 16:53:46A new error: when I disable "written by" for the books, on the frontend book page I get
Warning: Undefined variable $description in /components/com_abook/views/book/tmpl/default.php on line 413 and no description is displayed.
When I enable it, There are no more errors, but the description is preceded by 'Written by Robert Gastaud' (the author of the description), which I don't want to display. How can I hide this text?
