UPDATE 12\/23\/2004: I\u2019ve moved my version of the code to the new WP Plugins repository<\/a>, so you can download it at http:\/\/dev.wp-plugins.org\/file\/scripturizer\/trunk\/scripturizer.php<\/a><\/p>\n

UPDATE: plans are afoot to merge the three existing codebases (Dean\u2019s, Scott Yang\u2019s<\/a>, and this one) into a single Sourceforge project. (UPDATE 12\/23\/2004: nothing has really come of that\u2013we\u2019re all a little busy and haven\u2019t really worked to make it happen. Oh well\u2026)<\/p>\n

Not realizing that Mean Dean<\/a> was porting Scripturizer to PHP<\/a>, I went ahead and did it so that I could begin using it on this WordPress site. At about the same time Scott Yang made one<\/a>, so there are two versions out there. Sorry about that.<\/p>\n

I originally wasn\u2019t going to package it for release, but it turns out that I had to do it to actually use it on my site :), and so I figured I might as well put it in the public version to make it easy for anyone else to use. Also, figuring out how to use add_action<\/code> was nonobvious (at least when I first did this\u2013I believe the documentation has improved considerably), so I wanted to provide a clear example.<\/p>\n

It extends the functionality of the original and also changes the data permanently in the user\u2019s database (as opposed to Scott\u2019s, which filters it on the fly). You can set mine to do that (see the source code), but Scott\u2019s will work that way out of the box. Which you prefer is up to you. Mine is more efficient, his affects all the archives without making you manually edit anything.<\/p>\n

Usage:<\/b> just copy the source code to a file named scripturize.php<\/i> in your wp-content\/plugins<\/i> folder. Go to your administration panel, click on Plugins<\/i>, and activate it. Then just refer to the Bible in your posts. If you don\u2019t want a Bible reference hyperlinked, be sure to enclose it in preformatting tags, like so: <\/p>\n

<pre>John 3:16<\/pre><\/pre>\n
