bible on site? – oddchild

oddchild Member Posts: 10 From: Middle East Registered: 07-19-2007	Hi All, I was wondering if anyone would have any ideas on how to put a searchable bible on a website... I was wanting to upload the arabic bible that i have, and english. Are there any downloadable scripts available? I am wanting to place it here, http://ArabsForChrist.org It wouldnt be making any money, there are no ads on the site and will be none.

Its not really embedding it you own website, but they do have some tools for like verse of the day, and I think a form for searching the bible which links to their website. Bible Gateway Web Tools btw, I'm encouraged by your ministry to the arabs. Our church is involved directly with the second circle church in Amman, Jordan. God Bless! ------------------ Sam Washburn

I am here for a few weeks, while I am trying to get my name removed from a ban list in Lebanon. The biblegateway tools are VERY difficult for arabs to use. It would be best, if I could embed it to my site so that I could customize it more. I have the NT and OT in doc format, I could easily convert them to HTML... However, I am not sure what the best route to go... since I do not know PHP or CGI.

Would a Google search of your domain work? You could configure a search box with a bit of html. ------------------ All Your Base Are Belong To Us!!! chown -r us ./base "After three days without programming, life becomes meaningless.'' -- Tao of Programming Book 2 "Oh, bother," said the Borg.

If I did the search box, wouldn't it just tell the user what page the content was on? Like, if I put all the books of the bible it would be something like 1John.html then when the result is in 1John.html wouldn't just bring the user to that book of the bible, that page? Or should I have each chapter named with a <a name tag?

If the verse is short, Google will display most of it on the search page. if you're Googling a chapter, well that will create a bit of a problem in which the user would have to use their web browser's search abilities to find the verse on the John1.html page. ------------------ All Your Base Are Belong To Us!!! chown -r us ./base "After three days without programming, life becomes meaningless.'' -- Tao of Programming Book 2 "Oh, bother," said the Borg.
