jbook
Call for developers!!!

Take a look: http://lnx.zenfamily.it/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=14&Itemid=10

jbook is a component for books management. It allows to split up the classification in categories and subcategories, with a tree structure, without limits in number of sub-children levels. For every book it is possible to insert details like the book cover (with automatic size rearrangement). You can navigate even for autor, editor... Registered users can see and comment every book reviewed. They can also ask for more information on the book by sending an email to the site administrator. There is a mambot to integrate the search in the entire site. It is presently available in Italian, English and French.

Ver 1.0.5 by dflora, November 14, 2007
Looks like someone made a last minute changes and didn't test them; it should be withdrawn. Which is a shame because the code looks beautiful and lot of effort went into it .. but ...

The front end does not load.
The back-end main input form is not really usable for at least for authors and the 'published' field is garbage.
Publisher data apparently goes very cleanly into the 'editor' table.

Outside of that, the user interface is a programmer's interface, ie designed for programming convenience not user convenience. Having to go to separate pages to pre-enter publishers, authors etc was user-cruel design 20 yrs ago.


Good but still nees some work by Sianna, September 27, 2007
First glance I liked it. But is there a possibility to change the language? I can read italian, but I guess my users would favour German ;)

I have version .5 but can't really see how to include the amazon-affiliate.

What also would be nice for amazon-affiliate users would be the possibility to use the i-frame code. At least some of my users told me that they like to know the price and prices for second hand books. It is right you can write the price, but prices are something that change and with many books.... iframe would solve that problem at least for amazon users.


Just love it! by franciscojasousa, September 15, 2007
I'm using it at my website and I just love it!

Keep up the good work.

P.S.: A frontend way of adding/editing would be great.

Francisco

Unlike the previous comment, the import from amazon isn't done.
I hope it will be implemented soon.

Great and simple extension
One of the best extension regarding the language files support: the Joomla admin menu components entry its created from language strings at install. Should be a standard feature for every extension!
It can be an excellent extension when it deals with different documents type: DC/DVD, ebook and URL docs). Also needed its two individual URL field: external review and special buy link.


Clean and Great, but needs Amazon functionality by dmittleman, May 26, 2007

This component is clean and great. It isn't quite finished yet (no import mechanism written - but place for it to go) Do it in bibtex, please.

One big thing it needs is connectivity with Amazon. I enter an ISBN for a book and the component creates a clickable link from it, but that link goes to Google rather than Amazon. Let me enter my Amazon Associates ID in the back end, and then generate a string with the ISBN and my Assoc ID out to Amazon when the ISBN (or book cover) is clicked. Please! That will get you six stars! And a contribution. :-)


Owner's reply:
Version 1.0.5 has this feature :-)

Absolutely brilliant! by alice, May 25, 2007

This component is just perfect for my new website. I have been looking for a simple and easy directory to list books, categories and authors and jbook fits my requirement perfectly. I love the way it seamlessly blends in with Joomla. It's easy to install and really easy to use. Thank you for producing such a super component. I just had one little problem and I emailed the program's author and received a reply and a fix within minutes. Magic!

Great book management component ! Easy to install, manage and use. Integrates with Joomla's search engine. A small recommendation: allow management from the front end.
