[sword-devel] Bible Web Interface

[Dan Adams]

As far as the Get syntax, it makes sense.

My question about GenBooks is in relation to reading stuff from ones like 1
Enoch and other similar ones, if it would help I will give suggestions for
all of the GenBooks that I use on my computer and in my studies.

My Desire for installing in on another system specifically is so that I can
have it located also near my database server on the internet for quick time
between the user and the server, possibly. Maybe at least then I will be
able to install it on a computer that is near me so that when I am using it,
I can have it referenced by the database which is on a website.

I know you said that I could customize the layout of the viewing
environment. What I am also curious about is related to whether or not it
will retrieve multiple verses that are not the same and that are not in a
single section of the Bible? I would love to help test it whenever it is at
that point.

Essentially (so far) the basic syntax is 
http://www.crosswire.org/sword/biblenew/passagestudy.jsp?key=<verseref>&mod=
<module>

That's if you want to link to a specific verse of a specific module, but
uses a session, so you don't need to specify things that don't change.  
For example, once I'm at a verse, I can go to another verse in the same 
module by simple loading another key.

Commentaries work currently.  LD & GenBook modules do not, but they will 
eventually.

I think we're quite open to suggestions for what a GenBook interface ought 
to look like.

I suppose, but it depends on what you mean.  Installing on other webservers
won't be a problem.  Installing on a home PC for off-line use 
will certainly be possible, if you're willing to install Tomcat.  Using it 
like the command-line interface to Diatheke won't be possible--that's what 
Diatheke's for.
