book description in listing 12 Years, 10 Months ago
Karma: 0  
Hello I'm looking to display the item description in the book list page.
There is the image, the title, the author ... but I really need to display the book description also
I've seen in the booklibrary.html.php the lines to change but I have no idea how to write the code to display it.

You can see the screenshot attached who describe my wish.
The idea is to get rid of author, rating and hits status and just show : image, title and description.

thanks for your help.




ooops I realised that I'v put the topic in the wrong section... this message should be in the book library component forum, could you move it ?

Hello,
For rebuild that in Media Library software.

You need in file:
{yours site}/components/com_medialibrary/medialibrary.php

check function:
showCategory

and in file:
{yours site}/components/com_medialibrary/medialibrary.html.php

check function
HTML_medialibrary::displayMedias

But with that you will lost possibility change media ordering

Or you may ask custom version from ordasoft.com contact form.

Hello thanks for your answer.

I assume that I have to query the item description from the database in this function
line 690 ? but what is the name to query ? or Im a totally lost ?

I try to understand the structure and the PHP but I'm not a specialist, so I want to learn

I also have another question.
Is there a way to list only the subcategories (in the category list view) if the main category does not contains items ?
by default the main category is listed on top ( like the example screenshot) with the search.
I allready have disabled de search because I have bought the extended search module and now I want to hide the category lines if empty.
Is it hard to do ?

Thanks for your help

Hi,

description
You need in file:
{yours site}/components/com_booklibrary/booklibrary.php

check function:
showCategory
You need row:
Code:

  $query = "SELECT bl.id, bl.isbn, bl.authors, bl.rating,blr2.rating2, bl.title, bl.fk_lendid, bl.date, bl.hits, bl.URL,bl.imageURL".


change to :
Code:

  $query = "SELECT bl.id, bl.isbn, bl.comment , bl.rating,blr2.rating2, bl.title, bl.fk_lendid, bl.date, bl.hits, bl.URL,bl.imageURL".



and in booklibrary.html.php

"authors" replace to "comment"

With categories:
I am sorry, but you will confuse users if he will go to some one category and real will go to other.
If som category empty, and you think need remove it, please remove it
