    I managed to get the plugin including translations installed and working properly. As I just finished, I have not yet had the time to dig into it very deep for bugs, but will do so this evening.

    What I could not find was the Bible-search and reading plans portion of the code. Are those planned additional future updates?

    I showed the plans portion to the men’s Bible study on Thursday and they loved it. We are already doing Bible reading plans, and this is going to make it much easier for them to follow along with what the group is working on for new members.

    The reading plans stuff is not in the main Biblefox plugin, yet. Like the local translations code, the reading plans code is pretty messy. Writing that reading plan stuff has been a real pain, mainly because I want it to be powerful but easy to use, but it is somewhat complicated I think.

    It’s pretty complicated because I want people to be able to share reading plans, so I created a reading plan directory. But when other people use the reading plan, they might not want to use it on the same schedule as others. So I have to separate the ‘plan’ (the sequence of readings) from the ‘schedule’ (the dates associated with the readings). So then you can create a plan, and someone else can create a schedule for it. Because of that I have to handle cases like when the creator of the plan wants to change (or delete) a plan that someone else has created a schedule for.

    Things get complicated quickly some times.

    Despite being messy, I guess it doesn’t ever hurt to release it and just warn people.

    Wow, you are thinking about case examples that had not even crossed my mind. I can see how that could become very confusing quite quickly code wise.

    I would love to give it a shot if it’s stable enough to make it through the install. Right now I am just running the plugins on our own small church site so monitoring bugs is very easy for me and it would provide another nice and small testing environment.

    Either way, I’m here to serve, so anything I can do to help, just let me know.

    any news on the updated plugin with the reading plan and search functionality?

    I’m pretty much in the middle of getting my ‘framework’ install setup, and would love the opportunity to add in these features for testing. Obviously I don’t mind ‘hacky’ code, as I can get my way around pretty good. It is going to take me some time to get everything merged into my custom theme as it is.

    Sorry to be such a pest on this, I’m just rather excited as are all the guys in the Bible study group. It’s kinda like waiting for Christmas because you know what santa is bringin.. lol
