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.

How To

Change the default translation

If you would like to change the default translation that the Filter links to, follow these steps: (Currently it defaults to NIV)

1) AdminCP -> Plugin System -> Plugin Manager -> Edit "Convert to Bible Link" (Found in global_start section)

2) FIND on Line 1:

PHP Code:

define('DEFAULT_BIBLE_TRANSLATION','NIV'); 


3) REPLACE 'NIV' with the translation you want. The options are:

'NIV' - New International Version
'NASB' - New American Standard Version
'AMP' - Amplified Paraphrase
'NLT' - New Literal Translation
'KJV' - King James Version
'ESV' - English Standard Version
'CEV' - Contemporary English Version
'NET' - New English Translation
'NKJV' - New King James Version
'KJ21' - I don't know
'ASV' - American Standard Version
'WE' - I don't know
'YLT' - Young's Literal Translation
'DARBY' - Darby Translation
'WYC' - I don't know
'NIV-UK' - New International Standard Version - UK
'MSG' - Message Bible Paraphrase
'NIRV' - New International Revised Version

(Note: Replace 'NIV' with 'ESV', for example...the full name is in the list for your information, not for you to copy)

Link to a different version than the default

When posting, simply add the translation AFTER the reference.

For example:

"Genesis 2:7 KJV" will result in "Genesis 2:7 KJV"

Also, you can add parenthesis and it will still work. For example:

"Genesis 2:7 (ESV)" will result in "Genesis 2:7 (ESV)"

It wouldn't have a use on my forum, but your hack is very resourceful! Great intuitive work.

Awesome thanks!

Certainly!

If anyone notices any bugs, be sure to let me know.

I haven't run across any so far, so if nobody else does, I'll bump this up to 1.0 eventually.
