thanks for you contribution.
Yootheme's function probably conflicts with Abook's function. I'll fix it as soon as possible.

Last post by ricoumax - 31 May 2026, 17:14:35If I create a substitution for '/templates/yootheme/html/com_abook/category/default.php' dans le template 'yootheme'.
I comment line 42 and 47 and it's OK
Idem for Modifier le fichier '/templates/yootheme/html/com_abook/book/default.php' dans le template 'yootheme'.
Th line is the problem : <?php // echo JHTML::_('icon.breadcrumb', $this->path);?>
For icon.breadcrumb and icon.search

Last post by astronantes - 25 April 2026, 16:15:22To demonstrate what would be expected, I created a plugin that adds an ISBN search button below the ISBN field when creating a book. This plugin is currently just a demo, but it works correctly on our site.
For your information, it's available at:
https://github.com/FERRATON/abookisbn
I think this would be a nice feature to integrate into a future version of Alexandria Book Library.

Richieste (Requests) / Automatic metadata entry via G...
Last post by astronantes - 02 April 2026, 17:24:15Hello !
Would it be possible to add a "Search for metadata" button below the ISBN field for new books?
This button would trigger a call to the Google Books API using the ISBN as the key. In the plugin settings, we could optionally add the ability to enter a Google key (not required for a small number of requests).
The Google API returns a rich JSON feed (example: https://www.googleapis.com/books/v1/volumes?q=isbn:9781784059507) which could populate a large number of fields, including a cover image when available. It would also be helpful if the author and publisher information were automatically added to the database if they don't already exist and pre-populated as entered data in the corresponding fields.
Please feel free to discuss this further if you find this request relevant.
Sincerely,

Errori (Bugs) / Re: Joomla 6 problem
Last post by Slacker - 17 December 2025, 13:23:26Glad to hear that! Good News! But when such things happen I start to wonder why they change new versions of Joomla so much that older extensions become useless. Maybe Joomla should change direction to be able to keep old extensions alive longer.

Last post by federica - 08 December 2025, 19:49:44Hi Boudewijn,
currently Abook does not support Joomla 6. In the future I will develop a version of Abook for Joomla 6 but I do not have a roadmap.
