No release zip yet. The repository archive installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow:
wp plugin install https://github.com/ryan-l-robinson/wordpress-bible-link/archive/refs/heads/main.zipReadme
Overview
This is now archived, as I don't use WordPress enough anymore to justify trying to improve and maintain it. There are other more comprehensive plugins available with links to Bible sites based on the text, although maybe not with bibles.org.
This WordPress plugin detects Bible references when content is saved. If a reference is found, it wraps a link around that reference to that text on Bibles.org.
Current version has the bare minimum idea working. It can identify references to a single verse in the format book chapter:verse and wrap a link around it.
Wishlist
- Identify other reference formats.
- Link properly for all formats. Currently Bibles.org expects an end chapter and verse as well and I am not providing that.
- Skip adding the link if there is already a link or header around the reference.
- Add the rest of the possible abbreviations.
- Add support for more translations, with an option screen for the user.
- Provide a way for users to opt out of the auto-links on a per-post basis.
