Version 1.8 Released June 23, 2008
Posted by petervcook in Releases.11 comments
Hi, I’m petervcook, there were a couple of features I thought would make great additions to Scripturizer, so I contacted LO and asked if I could join the project to give the additions back to the WordPress community.
Scripturizer 1.8 was released today. The big new feature is rollover tooltips, your users can now see the ESV version of the verse just by rolling their mouse over the reference, no need to click. It also sports an easier installation process and streamlined admin interface.
Here is a full list of features:
- Added rollover tooltips
- ESV Show/Hide links can now be used even in the default translation links to another translation
- Show/Hide links changed from [+/-] to [show]
- Easier installation
- Streamlined code & smaller file size
- Redesigned Admin Panel to match WordPress 2.5
- CSS Code moved to an external file
- Added support for periods and endashes in the reference (ex. John 3.16–17)
This new version requires WordPress 2.1 in order to use all the features, while basic functionality will still work in WordPress 2.0.
Let us know what you think. Scripturizer is still the only Bible verse reference plug-in to support the NIV and the Message and many other translations.

New Usage Instructions and WP 2.1 Compatibility Notice March 2, 2007
Posted by LO in Development.10 comments
Dear Scripturizer users,
I have added a new page to explain how to use Scripturizer’s features. So far I have instructions on how to create links using both your default Bible version and user-specified versions. (Please know that you can set your own default version to any of the supported versions listed on this page.)
In the near future I will add further instructions on how to use the ESV “get verse text” feature. (Which, speaking of this feature, I am hoping to re-program it along the lines of Simon’s nice Ajax-powered ESV technique in the next Scripturizer release.)
WP 2.1 Compatibility Notice
I have not yet thoroughly tested Scripturizer on WP 2.1. I think it should work just fine in dynamic mode, as opposed to static mode. But again, I have not tested it thoroughly. For the time being, I recommend not using static mode.
If you are running WP 2.1 please let me know if you have success or find problems with the Scripturizer plugin.
by grace,
LO

A Better Regular Expression for the Scripturizer 1.5 February 5, 2007
Posted by LO in Development, Releases.4 comments
Thanks to Chris
, who has his own great ESV WordPress plugin, the regular expressions in Scripturizer have received the first round of much needed updates. The latest code allows the Scripturizer to parse references that span multiple chapters, such as Genesis 2:1-4:5.
Thanks Chris for sharing your work!

1.6 Dev – Westminster Shorter Catechism August 30, 2006
Posted by LO in Development, Releases.8 comments
I’ve been playing around with a new feature which allows users to reference the CCEL version of the Westminster Shorter Catechism, and I’d like to get some feedback.
If you are interested in trying out the new feature, download Scripturizer Dev 1.6 and use either of the following two reference formats in your posts:
- WSC 1; WSC 64; etc…
- Westminster Shorter Catechism 99
Let me know what you think . . . Like? Dislike? (O come on, I know there’s got to be some Presby bloggers out there!
Also let me know if you find any bugs.

AJAX-Powered ESV Show Text Feature August 19, 2006
Posted by LO in Development.add a comment
Simon Job, webmaster for Toongabbie Anglican Church, graciously and generously released the code for his sweet AJAX-powered show ESV text feature (see ESV blog writeup). I think Simon’s code can be nicely adapted into Scripturizer’s next release in order to revamp the current show/hide ESV text functionality.
For WordPress users in general, it would be sweet to turn Simon’s code into a WordPress Widget for sidebar functionality (similiar to how Simon uses the code on Toongabbie Church’s web site). And for Scripturizer users particularly, it would be nice if Simon’s code can also be adapted to work within the body of a post similiarly to Scripturizer’s current show/hide function.
If there are any developers out there who are interested in contributing to the next release of Scripturizer, please let us know.
