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!

John 3:16 does not work either; there are a bunch that don't. You can't even access it directly from the site which means something is wrong over at biblegateway.

Actually, I just saw that. Some scriptures are working and some are not. I hope they fix it soon.

I am having an entirely new problem now. Look at http://www.christianfunforums.com/fo...36-post30.html for an example.

I have a user making a post that contains the text "The 2 short haired kittens went to the same home - with a little girl". The phrase "The 2" becomes a Bible Gateway link, but it does not link to a verse. The same thing happens when anybody types in "The" followed by any number at all.

Ideas?

I might add that in the next release.

Anything new about this? Any 3.7 or 3.8 Release?

Just so everyone who is following this thread knows: I am listening to your requests and weighing them. I have something big planned that is uber-cool when I release an update for vb 3.8.0. It is sort of a fork in a different direction than this release went, but this version does still work on 3.8 as well.

Any bug fixes that need to be done on this version will be corrected eventually as well.

As far as German language support, that will hopefully make it as well, but I might need some help from German multilingual users.

Will this ever be available in 4.0 by any chance? My members love this mod. Thanks!

Edited to Update: Just upgraded my board to 4.0.2 and this mod still works perfectly!
