Author name display - when entering a book

[ArchAngle]

I am just wondering if there is a way to alphabetize the author list in the New Book section of the Library?

I would also like to add my request to allow front end users (site members - Joomla community builder) to add their own books.
An internal/external browse for the URL for the link to the book file would also be nice.

This is a wonderful package - Thank you for the time you spent making it.

Hi ArchAngle,
many thanks for the compliments!
Now there is not a view for the author list, but this may be one thing I will do.

This is a great features, but now Abook is not structured to be a multiuser community with a personal books list.

An internal/external browse for the URL for the link to the book file would also be nice.

I did not understand what you mean, perhaps mean you a search in to files associated to books?

When you enter the book for the first time - the system requests both an URL Label and an URL (external link) - it would be nice if you could search your web site to add the files for the book that you had previously uploaded.

I hope this is clearer!

I understand  .
On next release I will add the ability to add a file (ie: ebook) in to books. The Label and URL label will only be used for link to other sites.

That is great to hear - Thank you
Also would it be possible to be able to organize the author list in the add book section - right now it just displays the authors names in the order they were entered -- I reset the order in the author list - can easily alphabetize them there - but not in the list on the book entry page.
