Bibliasoft -- BibleFilter 1.5

Introduction
In 2004, plugins became available for both Wordpress and Drupal that converted plain text Bible verses into BibleGateway links. The plugins were free to modify and distribute, so I have ported the code to work with vBulletin and made some improvements.

I originally introduced this modification for vBulletin 3.5.x, and now I present it (with a few enhancements) for vBulletin 3.6.x

=---------------------------------------=

What does it do?

Basically, every time a user types in a Bible Verse (e.g. John 1:1), it will automatically turn it into a link to the Bible Gateway's page for that specific verse. The filter will convert verses posted in various formats including, but not limited to: John 1:1 John 1.1 Joh 1:1 John_1.1 1John_1:1 1 John 1:1 NIV John 1:1 ESV John 1:1 KJV etc.

=-----------------------------------=

Some features:

Admin Control Panel Settings
- The Administrator can choose whether or not Scripturized links open a new window or not.
- The Administrator can choose the default translation that is used.

Versatile
- The newer version supports various different means of creating links, including Book Abbreviations (Gen instead of Genesis, for example).
- A period (John 1.1) can be used instead of a colon (John 1:1).
- Users can specify which translation they would like to use simply by placing it at the end of the reference: (John 1:1 KJV, John 1:1 ESV, etc).

Extra Features
- The product will also turn Apocrypha verse references into links. NEW!

=-----------------------------------=

Installation

1) Import the product file using your Admin Control Panel.
2) ENJOY!

If upgrading, simply overwrite the old product.

=-------------------------------------=

Support

I will try hard to support this product. There are a few ways you can help support the product, too:

1) Click Install. This will help incredibly with support.
2) If you find this product useful on your forums, consider posting a link to Bibliapedia.com somewhere on your site. It's a useful free non-profit online Bible Encyclopedia.
3) Give feedback on the product! Let me know what you think!

I think that's all for now....so ENJOY!

I'll see if I can do that. I'm not an expert with vBulletin, but I might be able to get it to work.

Are there any other features of the phpBB one that I haven't implemented?

Also, do you have a link to the phpBB version? I can't seem to find it.

I might add that in the next release.

Why not the largest one with the most Languages ?

Perhaps eventually I can integrate it. For now, the port from the Drupal extension only supported Bible Gateway.

For some reason it doesn't work for me in VB 3.6.3

I key in John 3:16 and press the spacebar and nothing happens. I rechecked and it is installed but the verses do not turn into links. It's as if it weren't there.

Ideas???

They will be turned into links once posted, not immediately when typed. Try submitting the thread and viewing the post.

I've been working on a bible application - http://bible.5solas.org. On my website http://www.predestinarian.net - I've modified the source of biblefilter to link to my bible software. I'm continuing to modify the application and I plan to eventually release it. - Brandan
