vrBible Filter -- 0.8

Ported for your pleasure by: UltraVR

*Attention, this product is no longer supported.* You can find a new, updated product here*

Introduction

I run a Bible History forum, and I wanted a convenient way to automatically convert Bible verses into links. I came across a module for Drupal that did this, and it was very helpful. The Drupal modification is free to alter and distribute, so I ported it to vBulletin as a plug-in.

What does it do?

Well kids, it will turn a Bible verse like this: Ezekiel 1:5
...into a link to Bible Gateway like this: Ezekiel 1:5

Known Issues

None at the moment, but as this is my first plugin, I'm sure there will be many! aranoid:

Installation

AdminCP -> Plugin System -> Manage Products -> Add/Import Product

1) Import the XML File from your computer.
2) If you are upgrading select "Yes" to allow overwrite.
3) Dance, and behold your magical Bible auto-linkage.

Guys, I added a small How-To in the second post if you want to change the version the Filter links to.

[UltraVR]

I also added a small tutorial on how to link to a different translation from the post screen, too. Easy stuff!

You can find it in the second post.

Thank you very much! Installed flawlessly and works perfectly!

[UltraVR]

Hey No Problem!

If anyone has this installed and wants to post a link to their page here, I'll put them up in the first thread as demo links.

Great thank you. What about opening a new window?

[Darth Gill]

Awesome! I have this installed on my forum. I actually wrote my own php bible software years ago, but haven't kept up with it. I would like a plugin that would allow people to search and paste from the bible in an ajax box on the post reply screen! That would be perfect!

Great thank you. What about opening a new window?

Try this:

1) Open vbBible_text.xml
2) Replace Line 101 with:

PHP Code:

$link = sprintf('<a href="%s%s" title="%s" target="_blank">%s</a>',$link,htmlentities(urlencode(trim("$volume $book $verse"))),$title,trim($reference)); 


3) Replace Line 109 with:

PHP Code:

$link = sprintf('<a href="%s&book=%s&chapter=%s&verse=%s" title="%s" target="_blank">%s</a>',$link,htmlentities(urlencode($book)),$chapter,$verses,$title,trim($reference)); 


4) Replace Line 114 with:

PHP Code:

$link = sprintf('<a href="%s%s" title="%s" target="_blank">%s</a>',$link,htmlentities(urlencode(trim("$volume $book $verse"))),$title,trim($reference)); 


5) Re-Upload and replace the product xml file.

Tell me if that works!

I didn't understand Bible!!!

A lot of people don't understand the Bible, don't feel bad. :laugh:
