v1.2.0

What's new in 1.2.0

Sort order independent of file names

New tab Order in the module settings:

• Sort by: file name ascending (number prefix, default as before), file name descending, manual, newest first or title A–Z.
• Manual order: all PDFs are listed per language folder – arrange them by drag and drop or with the arrow buttons. Each language has its own order; renaming or renumbering files is no longer necessary.
• New files uploaded later are marked new and shown at the top (default) or bottom until the order is saved again. Deleted files simply disappear from the list.
• Existing installations keep the previous sorting by file name.

See the README for details.

Installation / update

Install mod_pdfflipbook-1.2.0.zip via System → Install → Extensions, or update via Joomla's update manager. Requires Joomla 5 or 6 and PHP 8.1+.

v1.1.0

What's new in 1.1.0

Protected catalogues

New option Protect files – ideal for price lists, dealer documents or POS material with prices:

• Only visitors with the module's access level (e.g. Registered or a dealer group) can open the PDFs.
• Direct links to the files are blocked: the module writes a .htaccess into the folder, and Joomla delivers PDFs and cover thumbnails only after an access check.
• Thumbnails of protected catalogues are stored inside the protected folder.
• Protected catalogues can also be stored outside the web root (absolute path) – recommended on nginx.
• Logged-in administrators see a notice if the protection is not effective (folder not writable, foreign .htaccess, server ignores .htaccess, access level still Public).

See the README for setup instructions.

Installation / update

Install mod_pdfflipbook-1.1.0.zip via System → Install → Extensions, or update via Joomla's update manager. Requires Joomla 5 or 6 and PHP 8.1+.
