Last post by federica - 16 August 2024, 12:22:39Hi Odin72a,
Do you want to use Abook All in one module to select all books from a certain year (eg: all books from 2024) or all books within a range of years (eg: all books between 2023 and 2024)?

Last post by _vdkc_ - 14 August 2024, 10:43:27Hi Federica,
Thank you so much for your kind and helpful response, and for your patience. I apologize for the late reply—I've been on vacation and busy with other projects, but I'm excited to be back and active again.
1. Ease of Adding New Books:
We are eagerly anticipating the next update and truly appreciate you making these improvements available! Will we need to switch to the beta version to benefit from this new feature? System stability is quite important for us, so it would be helpful to know how to proceed with this.
2. German Translation Availability:
I hadn't noticed the resources for translations before—thank you for pointing that out! The possibility to customize the software's language to better suit our needs is fantastic. We plan to rename "Authors" to "Composers" and "Books" to "Sheet Music," among other adjustments.
3. Access for External Library Workers Without Joomla Admin Access:
Our system administrator advised against creating too many Joomla accounts with backend access, even if they have limited internal rights. Unfortunately, we'll need to find an alternative solution, although your suggestion would certainly have been viable. I am currently considering developing something with Joomla Fabrik that would only access certain parts of the aBook database and could be used by Joomla users logged in through the frontend.
4. The Lending Process:
Do I understand correctly that a Time Slot Manager is not currently included in aBook and not available as a plugin? I'm considering creating a custom solution with Fabrik to handle this functionality.
Additionally, I wanted to share two insights from my experience working with aBook and importing over 1,100 media entries, which might be useful for other users:
It's effective to create authors, publishers, categories, collections, and potentially locations and tag structures directly via SQL statements in the import file. The individual media can then be imported more comfortably with the CSV import.
When performing a CSV import, it's important to note that the characters " and ' need to be escaped with a \ in most fields, while other UTF-8 characters do not cause issues. This realization cost me several hours of work
The metadata and params fields should preferably be left empty.
Thank you again for your support and these valuable tips! I look forward to further work with aBook
Best regards,
Sebastian

Last post by Odin72a - 05 August 2024, 14:27:27Good day!
I would like to ask if it is possible to make a selection by Year of publication in the Abook All in one module?
I use your library to maintain a list of scientific publications, and it is important for me to determine the visits to article pages by year

I added the number of Hits to the module. Please download mod_abook_allinone 4.0.4Beta then go to configuration of the module in order to enable Hits option.
Let me know if it is ok.

Last post by federica - 22 July 2024, 19:26:34Yes, you are right, in the list view it is better to remove review rating structured data.
I will publish it to the next Abook version.
