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'm glad you like it. If you get a lot of use out of it, consider linking to Bibliapedia.com's encyclopedia somewhere.

Just a thought.

Hi Ultra VR

I likes this hack so much...

Please keep this stuff coming on new vBulls.

I will post your link on our site if you can help me figure out how to get this hack to work in sig???????

I tryed it and its not working in member sigs. Other than the sigs its working beautifully.

Peace and Happy Holidays

For those not being able to get it to work...you must use caps for the first letter of the book, else it will not link.

Found a bug.

When trying to say "The 2nd" (as in The 2nd Law of Thermodynamics) it reads it as if it may be a Bible reference. At first, I thought it was linking to perhaps Thessalonians Chapter 2, instead, it just links to the index of Bible Gateway.

UltraVR,
I just wanted to drop you a line and say thank you for this wonderful tool. We have installed it on our Christian forums, and we hope that it will be a blessing for our users. God bless you and keep up the good work.

Thanks, buddy!

Deepdog009,

I'll see if I can figure out how to do this in signatures, too. I'll post an update to the product when I do.

I copy/pasted the code into the plugin section of my control panel. It is not working. Did I not do the install right?

[inspector]

I am glad nobody replied to my noviceness. I fixed and and downloaded it. It works perfect.

[Yago]

Thanks a lot.
This is so cool I just want to sing and praise the lord.
It is also the easiest install I have ever done. Under 3 minutes and I am a newbie.

This has not been updated, but worked fine on 3.6.4
