Integrate AlenxandriaBookLibrary with J2Store

[cyberliem]

Hi there, friends and mentor.

May I ask a question. My website was originally built a library with Alexandria Book Library. Now I want to add a cart on check out, so a person on my website is able to request for multiple book. After they requested for a cart, the email will be send to one of the administrators for collection arrangement. I've tried to use J2store extension. They enables the article to be treat as "product", where you can add cart there. However, in component-->Alexandra Book Library--> Books, in every book
I can't see the option where I can treat the Book as product.

Anyone know how can I combine Alexandria Book Library with J2 store?

Or if possible, I want to write my own PHP code into Alexandria Book Library to build a cart by myself. However, I'm not very familiar with CMS, anyone can give a guide to open the php files of alexandria book library to add my own code into it?

THank you all.

Hi cyberliem,
I never tried to combine Abook with j2store, if you want to develop yourself the plugin you can see the joomla documentation, abook is developed following strictly the joomla framework.

Hi there,

After looking out for a solution for awhile, I've decided that I will master PhP, SQL and Joomla extension/ Plugins concept to rewrite the code of Alexandria Book Library inside my host. Or to be in short, I'll try to be a developer for a newer Abook extension. May I ask a question, is all the source of Abook is open to the public?

Abook code is open, you are free to modify it. But perhaps you need to create only a j2store plugin for Abook.

J2 store is somewhat not really useful to my purpose, hence I'll have to rewrite the function when the user click on the cart as well. Do you think I can archive that by modify the code of Abook to archive this?

Yes, you can achieve that you want
