Online Bible
 

I realizae that this may not be your thing, but it works for me.

Has anybody released a hack or have a hack that allows me to put an online bible in my vb3 system? A good example can be seen at http://www.christianforums.com/search

Please let me know.

something like that would help...

I considered that, but it is very cumberson for what I need. I need an actual bible to put online where users can search through it, sort by verse all the stuff a computer bible is supposed to be. It is running on christian forums so I know it can be done. Erwin paid to remove the copyright and does not reply to my pms so I have no idea where he got it from.

just ask Erwin then.. he is always surfing around...

I have, but he is not answering my pms

!ping Erwin ... hum... not responding either.. lol

Yup. Erwin said it is a custm hack.

Not sure if this is relevant, but in our forum, we've added in a custom BB tag [ bible ] verse-reference [ /bible ] that fetches the scripture referred to in the tag and inserts it into the post. It uses the ESV (English Standard Version), and makes use of their RSS feed - you can request specific verses/passages, up to 500 verses per request. You need to include a copyright statement on each page with the scripture. Our forum is still in development, but if you know PHP you can look here for more information:

Using their API, you could also implement a full bible search (not just retrieving passages, but also doing keyword searches, right inside your own site). See my church's web site for an example of this in action:

I believe I saw something for phpbb that was similiar to Erwins - at least in so far as using bbcode to generate specific scripture.

edit: I believe this was it

You may also want to look on sourceforge there are a few bible related projects that may have something you could use.

This is a pretty cool thing to have.
