Version 3 is used by 83.7% of all the websites who use Joomla.
J4/J5 are used by 0.5%.

It makes no sense to abandon development and support for J3, at such rates of use.

Since Joomla 3 runs also on PHP 8.0 (recommended) or 8.1, it makes sense for Abook to be able to function in these versions.

Please consider this option.
J3 will continue to be widely used, unlike the flop versions.

Supporto (Support) / Migrazione da Joomla 3.X.X a J...

Sto tentando di ristrutturare un vecchio sito contenete Alexandria 3.1.1, sviluppato in Joomla 3.X.X (ora 3.9. e per l'occasione ho pensato di passare a Joomla 4.X.X. Per questa ragione ho scaricato tutti i DB in formato .csv, a mezzo phpmyadmin poi ho adeguato le tabelle interessate al nuovo formato di Alexandria 4.0.2 e quindi le ho importate (sempre a mezzo phpmyadmin) nel DB del nuovo sito e tutto apparentemente è andato bene. Infatti nel nuovo sito vedo tutti i miei dati. Però quando tento di inserire un nuovo dato o di modificarne uno esistente ottengo sempre il seguente errore: "Salvataggio fallito con il seguente errore: Parent ID non valido". Cosa ho sbagliato o cosa dovrei fare? Grazie per l'attenzione.

Hi Astron,
Abook for joomla 3 is no longer developed.
If you can't upgrade the web site to Joomla 4 and Abook 4 then you could downgrade PHP to a lower version.
Otherwise it is necessary to fix all the functions that are returning errors because they have been changed or deprecated in newer PHP versions.

Hello,

I have problems with 3.1.5 once I upgrade the PHP version at my hosting server. Could something be done about it?

I know some people rushed to end support for very good extensions of Joomla 3 but hardly anyone moved to J4-J5. They are massive flops.

Error 404 occurs in the "Authors" menu:
https://www.screenpresso.com/=9tXqe

I have Alexandria Book Library version 4.0.4 installed.
This error occurs when I display the list of Authors using the menu of the same name.
I determined that this menu item can be configured so that there is no error.
To do this, go to the Authors menu settings:
https://www.screenpresso.com/=Cat0b

In the second tab (General options) there is a setting By default:
https://www.screenpresso.com/=0hlGc

If you change it to this:
https://www.screenpresso.com/=7pP6e

then the "Authors" menu item works correctly.

Hi Sebastian, welcome again!
I'll answer you point by point.

1. Ease of Adding New Books
The beta version is stable but I prefer to wait a bit before definitively renaming it as stable.

2. German Translation Availability
Great!

3. Access for External Library Workers Without Joomla Admin Access
I didn't know "Fabrik", thanks for introducing me to it.

4. The Lending Process
Yes, you understood correctly. ABook does not manage a Time Slot Manager.

5. csv import tool
I'm aware of this problem. I'm working to improve the tool.
