Integrating Bible Super Search with vBulletin

This will add a Bible Super Search to your forums. This is not so much a modification
or hack as it is a tutorial. It does not require you to edit any files or templates. It
does require you to create 1 php file and 1 template.

If you don't want to create the php file or the template, I have added them to this post.

Credits: The Bible Super Search program I used is from biblesupersearch.com and is
free for all. I used the instructions by Gary King entitled "How to create your own
vBulletin-powered page!" alongside a script at the Dynamic Drive site to make this
work. Thanks goes to Digital Jedi for sending me the links for this.
------------------------------
NOTES:
This document assumes that you have installed the Bible Super Search program. If
you have not, please go to www.biblesupersearch.com, download it and get it
running on your site. Once that is done, go to Step 1 in this document.

This document also assumes that you have placed the "Bible Super Search" program
in the "forums/bible/BibleSuperSearch" folder. If you have not, just change every
reference to "bible/BibleSuperSearch/" to the path of your program.

Demo

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1: Make a new template named "Bible_SuperSearch" and put the following in it.
Note: You can alse cut and paste from the "Bible_SuperSearch_template.txt" file that I have made available in this post.

Code:

$stylevar[htmldoctype]

<html dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">

<head>

<title>$vboptions[bbtitle]</title>

$headinclude

<script type="text/javascript">

//Input the IDs of the IFRAMES you wish to dynamically resize to match its content height:

//Separate each ID with a comma. Examples: ["myframe1", "myframe2"] or ["myframe"] or [] for none:

var iframeids=["Bible_SuperSearch"]



//Should script hide iframe from browsers that don't support this script (non IE5+/NS6+ browsers. Recommended):

var iframehide="yes"



var getFFVersion=navigator.userAgent.substring(navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Firefox")).split("/")[1]

var FFextraHeight=parseFloat(getFFVersion)>=0.1? 500 : 0 //extra height in px to add to iframe in FireFox 1.0+ browsers



function resizeCaller() {

var dyniframe=new Array()

for (i=0; i<iframeids.length; i++){

if (document.getElementById)

resizeIframe(iframeids[i])

//reveal iframe for lower end browsers? (see var above):

if ((document.all || document.getElementById) && iframehide=="no"){

var tempobj=document.all? document.all[iframeids[i]] : document.getElementById(iframeids[i])

tempobj.style.display="block"

}

}

}

currentfr.height = currentfr.contentDocument.body.offsetHeight+FFextraHeight; 

else if (currentfr.Document && currentfr.Document.body.scrollHeight) //ie5+ syntax

currentfr.height = currentfr.Document.body.scrollHeight;

if (currentfr.addEventListener)

currentfr.addEventListener("load", readjustIframe, false)

else if (currentfr.attachEvent){

currentfr.detachEvent("onload", readjustIframe) // Bug fix line

currentfr.attachEvent("onload", readjustIframe)

}

}

}



function readjustIframe(loadevt) {

var crossevt=(window.event)? event : loadevt

var iframeroot=(crossevt.currentTarget)? crossevt.currentTarget : crossevt.srcElement

if (iframeroot)

resizeIframe(iframeroot.id);

}



function loadintoIframe(iframeid, url){

if (document.getElementById)

document.getElementById(iframeid).src=url

}



if (window.addEventListener)

window.addEventListener("load", resizeCaller, false)

else if (window.attachEvent)

window.attachEvent("onload", resizeCaller)

else

window.onload=resizeCaller



</script>

</head>

<body>

$header



$navbar



<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">

<tr>

    <td class="tcat">World English (WEB) Bible</td>

</tr>

<tr>

    <td class="alt1"><iframe id="Bible_SuperSearch" src="bible/BibleSuperSearch/bible_supersearch.php?interface=user_friendly1" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0" vspace="0" hspace="0" style="overflow:visible; width:100%; display:none"></iframe></td>

</tr>

</table>



$footer

</body>

</html>

Note on above template code: This code is designed the use the "Friendly1"
interface. You can use the interface of your choice by replacing "user_friendly1" with
any of the interfaces that came with the Bible Super Search program. The current
available choices are: advanced, classic, compact_book_browsing, compact_simple,
parallel, parallel2, user_friendly1 & user_friendly2. The program even allows you to
create your own interface. If you do this, just put in the name of the file (minus the .php) you created.

Step 2: Create a file named "Bible_SuperSearch_vb.php" and place the following into it:
Note: You can also just use the "Bible_SuperSearch_vb.php" file that I have made available in this post.

Code:

<?php



// ####################### SET PHP ENVIRONMENT ###########################

error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);



// #################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS #######################

define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1);

define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'Bible_SuperSearch'); // change this depending on your filename



// ################### PRE-CACHE TEMPLATES AND DATA ######################

// get special phrase groups

$phrasegroups = array(



);



// get special data templates from the datastore

$specialtemplates = array(

    

);



// pre-cache templates used by all actions

$globaltemplates = array(

    'Bible_SuperSearch',

);



// pre-cache templates used by specific actions

$actiontemplates = array(



);



// ######################### REQUIRE BACK-END ############################

require_once('./global.php');



// #######################################################################

// ######################## START MAIN SCRIPT ############################

// #######################################################################



$navbits = array();

$navbits[$parent] = 'Bible Super Search';



$navbits = construct_navbits($navbits);

eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";');

eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('Bible_SuperSearch') . '");');



?>

Step 4: Upload the newly created file into your forum root folder.
Step 5: Edit the "navbar" template

Search for:

Code:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="calendar.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[calendar]</a></td>

And add this after it:

Code:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="Bible_SuperSearch_vb.php">Bible Super Search</a></td>

That's it. Let me know if you need help.
--------------------------------------------------
Addon:
I have used this exact same code to put html Bibles from ebible.org on my site. Here are some instructions to help you do that.

Go to ebible.org and get the bible of your choice.
Make it work
Create the template I mentioned in Step 1 above
Note: Change the name of the template to reflect the bible version you are adding.
Change all references in the template that says "Bible_SuperSearch" to "Bible_Insert the Version Here" (I used "Bible_KJV" for my KJV bible and "Bible_Web" for my World English bible)
Modify the iframe statement in the template to point to the php file you are about to create.
Create the file I mentioned in Step 2 above
Note: Change the filename to reflect your bible version (I used "Bible_KJV_vb.php" for my KJV bible and "Bible_WEB_vb.php" for my World English bible.
Modify all references to 'Bible Super Search' to 'Bible Insert the Version Name Here'
Modify all references to Bible_SuperSearch to the name of the template you just created.
Now follows steps 4 & 5 above
Note: Make sure to modify your link to point to the newly created php file.

That should about cover it.

You can get additional bibles at: gregwolf.com and ebible.org. I am sure there are many other sites as well. Here is just a few free html bibles I found online. Many of these will require you to edit the html code so that they behave and look the way you wish them too.

English
ASV (American Standard Version) Bible
Catholic Douay Rheims Bible 1899
Catholic Douay Rheims Bible 1899 (Large Print)
Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary
KJV (King James Version) Bible from edible.org or gregwolf.com
KJV (King James Bible: Large Print)
Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary
WEB (World English Bible) Bible
WEB:ME (World English Bible: Messianic Edition)

French
1910 Louis Segond Version de la Bible Sacr?e
1910 Louis Segond Version de la Bible Sacr?e (Large Print)

Portuguese
B?blia Sagrada
B?blia Sagrada (Large Print)

Spanish
LA BIBLIA Versi?n Reina-Valera de 1909
LA BIBLIA Versi?n Reina-Valera de 1909 (Large Print)

If you used this, I would appreciate it if you would not only click the "Install" link, but also post a message with a link to the site using it.

This is something I am definately interested in. Once I can figure out how to get the Bible Supersearch to see the database, I will be adding this.

I got the bible software installed, but when I try to access the Bible Super Search from my site, I get the following error:

Warning: require_once(./global.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/prophecy/public_html/bible/BibleSuperSearch/bible_supersearch.php on line 32

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required './global.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/prophecy/public_html/bible/BibleSuperSearch/bible_supersearch.php on line 32

Was able to get everything installed and it works beautifully. This is an excellent mod and anyone who has a Christian based web site, I would highly recommend it. :up:

Well, this is not really my mod at all. I am just good at writing instructions and spelling things out. I am glad you are making use of it.

checking it out now...

Wonerful mod :) installing :D:D

Will post back :)

God Bless you

Rick

Works well! thanks for the hack... Installed...

Now where can I get more bibles for this?

Mike.

I have updated the first post to show some online free html bible links. Please, if you have more to add, share them with us all.

This is where i am having the problem...

Hmmm, the html bibles at ebible.org only require you to upload them to your server in order to work.

What problem are you having?

Ah ok, that was the problem, I didn't know what to do with them...

thanks, Mike.

I see you found another use for the script combo. Pretty nifty.

I am nothing if not adaptable. Thanks for the help.

Nifty. I currently have it running on my site.

Glad it worked. It looks good on your site too.

Not working for me all I get is a blank page:

http://www.pastors-source.com/vb/Bib...rSearch_vb.php

Any thoughts?

Make sure you your template name is exactly right, and that you've included it in all of your styles.

Maybe I have done this wrong. I made a new template via vba cmps. How do you make a new template?

Yeah, that likely won't work. vBa only makes templates for use with vBa. Any template you make with it, no matter what you name it, will have the prefix adv_portal_ tacked onto the name. Your PHP file will be looking for a template with the exact name Bible_SuperSearch, but your template is probably called adv_portal_Bible_SuperSearch, so your template isn't being found.

Create your template using the Style Manager.

Admin CP >>> Styles & Templates >>> Style Manger

Click the drop down menu beside one of your styles and select Add New Template and create your template there. You'll need to add that template to each one of your styles, provided you use more then one and you don't use child styles.

Alright I got that fixed. Now I have a different problem I dont know how to explain it take a look:

http://www.pastors-source.com/vb/Bib...rSearch_vb.php

It's not finding the bible/BibleSuperSearch/bible_supersearch.php file that came with Bible Super Search. The tutorial presumes you have it in that specific directory, and relative to your forum directory. Which directory did you put Super Search in when you first installed it?

http://www.pastors-source.com/bibles...rSearch_vb.php

This creates this error:

Quote:

Warning: Unexpected character in input: '\' (ASCII=92) state=1 in /home/httpd/vhosts/pastors-source.com/httpdocs/biblesupersearch/Bible_SuperSearch_vb.php on line 2

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/httpd/vhosts/pastors-source.com/httpdocs/biblesupersearch/Bible_SuperSearch_vb.php on line 2

What have I done wrong?

It looks like you may have deleted a ' when you edited your PHP file. Can we take a look your PHP and template code?

I have attached the php file here is the temp file:

Woah, something completely garbled your PHP file. I know some HTML editors do that after viewing them and saving. You'll definitly need to download it again and replace it.

I have downloaded it three (3) times. After I delete all the old files. And I get the same results every time. And I make no changes or even attempt to make no changes to the php file.

Do you use any download acceleration software?

No not at all. I do use 7zip to open it.

Try downloading Zip Genius (http://www.zipgenius.it/eng/index.php) and see if you run into the same problem. It's free and functionally the same as something like WinZip. Maybe we can track down the source of your problem.

They do seem to be hiding it for some reason: http://www.download.com/ZipGenius-St...-10179818.html

How is this php file?

That one looks good to me. Have you implemented it yet?

Yes U uploaded it I am not sure what to do from here

Redo the steps for install and use that file for the PHP file and see if you get the same problems. I think part of the problem was that your PHP file was getting corrupted somehow.

Rev, 2 things

You want to put Bible_SuperSearch_vb.php in your "vb" folder (this is your forum root).
You want to modify the link in your navbar to refer to "/vb/Bible_SuperSearch_vb.php" becasue on your homepage, it going to your hosting root folder.

I am sorry that I have not been around to help you. Thank you Digital Jedi for stepping in. If you need help with this, I can probably just do it for you. It is upto you.

Send me a PM and I will see what I can do.

Thanks for the mod.

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to adjust the *default* font size/color for the standard text and output (results for searches).

I played around with the css but nothing kicked in it seems and the html is outdated, sloppy from the original supersearch tool.

I'm using the compact theme and this is the compact_book_browsing.css portion for font size

a.f-large{font-size:14pt;}
a:hover.f-large{}
a:visited.f-large{}

a.f-medium{font-size:12pt;}
a:hover.f-medium{}
a:visited.f-medium{}

a.f-small{font-size:10pt;}
a:hover.f-small{}
a:visited.f-small{}

edit: sorry my mistake, disregard problem with missing browse by book options.

Would appreciate help on modifying the style of the drop down menus (including font/colors/borders).

I cannot figure out what files/css portion to edit for this.
