[sword-devel] MacSword and book problems

[Joachim Ansorg]

I found the problem,

you have to call module->setSkipConsecutiveLinks(true) before you test for the 
books. Set it to the default value false after all tests.
So the code would look in C++ this way:

  module()->setSkipConsecutiveLinks(true);
  sword::VerseKey top, bottom;

  *module() = sword::BOTTOM;
  bottom = module()->KeyText();
  *module() = sword::TOP;
  top = module()->KeyText();

  for (int i = top.Testament(); i <= bottom.Testament(); ++i) {
    for ( int j = top.Book(); j <= bottom.Book(); ++j) {
	//get bookname here
    }
  }
  module()->setSkipConsecutiveLinks(false);

You have to write  j <= bottom.Book() to get all books including the last one 
which is availabe :)

I think the difference to the Luther commentary is that the default behaviour 
of commentaries is to jump over empty parts, but bibles need the 
setConsecutiveLinks call get that behaviour.

I hope it works for you,
Joachim
