Here we go then... V4 Books, Issue1

Anyone please try it.. it runs single or multilanguage, specifically for V138a zencart, do not use it on 1.3.7.

A few items are new, such as ISBN search, which was done 'to order'.
And Book subtitle under main listing titles, just for books. Put all isbn's in as straight, no gaps or dashes, it enables easier searches.

The zip is 2.7Mb because there are some language packs copies in there.

I suggest you use FCKEditor in admin, specially if running in multilanguage.

The multi-sidebox search is now in the fileset, and can be collapsed down to just use ISBN if becessary. ISBN search can be textual or dropdown. Note there are an awful lot of admin settings in product type | books | edit layout. a few are in maximums section.

Beta testers please try out and give feedback, specially in the admin side for books. Its too complicated for me to test everything again for V4, but its basics work fine.

Demo sites (later they will have more books in them!):

Single language mode

Multi language mode
http://www.hareslade.com/zc138a_t2/

Single language with grid display for books, text input ISBN search.
note that the right hand column is blanked when books grid layout is used. It can be unblanked, (uncomment a line of code) but really it needs the extra width.

As you might know, the book add-on is complex, so I won't be too surprised if there are a few minor bugs. Its taken far longer to do than I thought. In the future I would really like some other programmers to come on board, because it takes so long to do upgrades like these to match zencart.

You are welcome to private message me with any complex issues (to save forum space) but simple queries are fine here. I'm now going to catch up with the other things I back-burnered!

Enjoy..
