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!

okay.. i installed this and it works very nice.. i really like how you have the many different versions available to work from! my christian members will be impressed...

[UltraVR]

I'm glad you like it!

I'll probably add a bunch of extra versions as updates.

[Snake]

Thanks for the release! I'll check it out soon.

Pretty Nice can you choose which forum to set this in?

[UltraVR]

Unfortunately for now, this will only affect any posts in any forums. I'll consider individual forum permissions in the next release.

[UltraVR]

You know what else would be nice? If this could have enough user permissions to redirect guests to the register page and only registered users to the correct destination.

I'm not sure if I'm that smart, though, unfortunately. It'll have to wait until the next release.

Very lovely Hack - but i cant use it because you are not using different Languages.

German is the one i need.

If members could set their preferred translation in their profile. That is a cool feature of the phpbb version of this hack.

It may be possible to use this in German. It would only require modifying the regex to support the German Bible Translations on Bible Gateway.

I might add that in the next release.
