Illustration : WEC eBible Constant Editor Form

ccess the eBible Constant Editor by selecting the website's root page and then clicking on the the Template Module. Select Constant Editor from the dropdown menu on the top right of the page. Finally, select WEC eBible from the Categories drop down menu.

  1. Enable Scripture Parsing: Turns scripture parsing off or on. Parsing is on by default, so there is no need to check the box if you wish it to remain on. To turn off parsing, select the corresponding checkbox and click Update. When it updates, a second checkbox will be visible. Leave this box unchecked to disable parsing.

  2. Include external eBible CSS?: Selecting this option enables the eBible.com default CSS. See Modifying the Look of eBible to enable a custom CSS file of your own creation.

  3. Display Mode: This feature allows you to choose which of the parsing displays you prefer (see Screenshots for examples). Mouseover is the default setting.

  4. Translation: Sets the translation for the parsed references. The default translation is the NIV.


  5. Illustration : Frontend User's Account Form

    Allow User Definable Translation: Enables a translation selection option in the Frontend User account. When enabled, a registered Frontend user can select their preferred version by accessing their user account and choosing a translation (see Illustration 10). When enabled, users can also set their translation preferences through the WEC eBible Translation plugin (see Installation, Step 5 above).

  6. Open Links in New Window?: When selected, the Link and Study mode hyperlinks will open a new browser window when clicked in the Frontend.

  7. Related Topics: When selected and set, this option determines how many “Related Topics” eBible.com will generate in the Mouseover of Snippet modes.

  8. Element: By default, the eBible extension searches through the whole website for parsing opportunities. In some cases, a Bible verse might be included in a header, a banner, or in some other element that you don't want parsed. In this case, the Element  option can be helpful. You can limit the default search to specific <div> tags. For most applications you'll want to limit this to the content element, which is the WEC Templavoila standard for the <div> element that contains the main content of your web pages. Knowledge of HTML and CSS are necessary for other applications.
