I developed a bible verse field, not unlike bible_field, that integrates with bible. It needs just a two more features and I would consider it ready for the real world.

check it out here http://drupal.org/sandbox/Jackinloadup/1216584

I would like to propose this for inclusion in this module. I feel it could only help expand the usefulness of this module.

Looking forward to feedback.

Thanks!

Out of interest, what are the differences between this and bible_field?

The difference that mine:

  • integrates with the bible module where bible_field does not.
  • can pull in field data from a CSV or other external sources with Feeds
  • can collapse verses into natural language. (ex: Mark 1:2-5 and Mark 1:8 into Mark 1:2-5,1:8) Which is great if there are lots of verses attached to an entity.

There are a few things that I'm about to get started working on soon due to business interest.

  • Some bug fixes
  • Proper Views sorting like bible_field but better with biblical order
  • A new formatter to pull biblical text from the bible module. (currently I pull book/verse data from the bible module)

Please view the sandbox page as I have updated it and included a screenshot.

Comments and issues posts are welcome ^_^

I tested the projet on the sandbox and it works great. I hop it can be integrate in this module.

Just so I'm clear, is your proposal that we integrate the functionality of your module into the bible module itself, or are you intending that your module would be a separately installable extension to bible? I would prefer the latter approach to keep things small and self-contained. If the latter approach is what you are after, what do you need from us in order to support you better?

The original thought was to have it included but after 2 years I see that isn't such a great idea. To my knowledge there shouldn't be anything else needed from you (bible.module)

Though I have no need to create my module anymore, at least for now. So might as well close this ticket.
