Hi banja,
It seems your Elementor plugin is rendering and styling the aria-label attributes in the arrow elements. Perhaps you can find a setting that disables this behavior. As for the arrows behind the book covers, you can adjust the position of the arrows relative to the Bookshelf on the Customize CSS tab of the Bookshelves plugin settings.
You can troubleshoot this without turning on arrows for every Bookshelf: Make a new Bookshelf using the Slick Settings Override and turn arrows on for that Bookshelf, then put it on a page hidden from the public.

Then you cannot use WebDAV with this plugin.

The plugin creates the links. You give it a URL template in the plugin settings and put a list of unique identifiers into a Bookshelf post. The plugin then puts those identifiers into the URL template to create links.

If you are looking for a way to easily browse thousands of books this is not the right plugin.

In order to try using WebDAV you’ll need to choose Other for Catalog System and Image Server, as I showed in the Nextcloud example above.

Something like this:
URL of file:
https://example.com/nextcloud/remote.php/dav/files/USERNAME/target.pdf

Catalog URL Example (entered into the plugin settings):
https://example.com/nextcloud/remote.php/dav/files/USERNAME/{ID}

Create a similar example URL for the file thumbnail image.

When you create a Bookshelf you will add filenames of items you wish to display. Those filenames will replace the {ID} in the example URLs.

Again, I cannot guarantee the plugin will work for your intended use. Please let me know either way.

Try something like this:

Catalog System: Other
Catalog URL Example: https://demo1.nextcloud.com/apps/files/?dir=/Documents&openfile={id}

Image Server: Other
Image Server URL Example: https://demo1.nextcloud.com/core/preview?fileId={id}&x=200&y=200

You may have to fiddle with share settings or file permissions for the images to show on the Bookshelves.

First off, any items you want add to a Bookshelf need to be publicly viewable, not requiring a username/password to view.

Then, to configure the plugin for Nextcloud, WebDAV, etc.:
In the the plugin settings, choose Other for your Catalog System. Copy the link to an item on your server and paste it into the Catalog URL Example field, replacing the item identifier in the URL with {ID}.

Do the same for the Image Server setting, copying the URL of the item image and again replacing the item identifier with {ID}.

(This will only work if the item and image have the same identifier.)

Then add item identifiers to a Bookshelf.

I have successfully tested this with the Nextcloud demo server. I can’t guarantee success with a WebDAV server. Let me know if I can help further.

In the catalog settings, you’ve put evergreen.lib.in.us in the Catalog Profile/Config field instead of in the Catalog Domain Name field. Put it in the right field and you’ll be good to go.

You’re not doing anything wrong. It looks like you will need to ask your Aspen administrator to whitelist your website server IP.

You’ll want to use one of these URLs (ones that give you JSON data, not HTML):
https://roxbury.aspendiscovery.org/API/SearchAPI?method=getListTitles&id=93
OR
https://roxbury.aspendiscovery.org/API/SearchAPI?method=search&lookfor=%2A&searchIndex=Keyword&filter%5B%5D=availability_toggle%3A%22local%22&filter%5B%5D=format_category%3A%22Books%22&filter%5B%5D=target_audience%3A%22Adult%22&filter%5B%5D=format%3A%22Book%22&filter%5B%5D=local_time_since_added_roxbury%3A%22Month%22&filter%5B%5D=shelf_location%3A%22New%22&sort=relevance&view=list&searchSource=local

When I put them in my browser I get a message that my IP address is forbidden from accessing the API.

Aspen Search API has been added in version 5.1.

With version 5.1 you now have the ability to add ‘custom’ catalogs. You should have no problem using it with Nextcloud. Try it with Webdav and let me know.

This issue should be resolved with version 5.1.

It will be in the next plugin update, and I’ll mark this as resolved when I release the update.

Thank you for the compliment!

I can add support for the Search API which will allow you to make Bookshelves based on the same queries as the collection spotlights.

The first time I looked at this I did not see what you are seeing. Looking at it now I see a blurry image where some of the covers should be. Removing the blur effect, there is a placeholder image from your Media Library. It seems your theme is applying lazy load to all images on the site.

Hello Petrus,

It appears the plugin can support links and images from Nextcloud. I want to keep this plugin focused on library catalogs. I don’t want to start adding features to support a myriad of cloud storage platforms which would be better supported with their own WP plugins.

That said, I think I can compromise by adding the ability for you to add custom link structures, which would allow you to create Bookshelves of items in Nextcloud. Keep an eye out for this in future updates, and thanks for the suggestion.

I’d suggest installing the WP Crontrol plugin. That will allow you to remove the leftover event.

If the event was created with a very short interval between runs it could be the cause of your issue.

Bookshelf update events are supposed to be removed when the plugin is deleted, but clearly something went wrong in your case. Thanks for letting me know.
