Hello all,
I’m back around again to check out how boltwire is doing. It looks like it
has some nice new advancements since last time I worked with it! I was
reminded again of how much I like the way it works. :-)
Anyway, I am working on setting up a simple little website where people can
read and search the Bible. There are a few things that I’m guessing are
very simple, but I haven’t been able to figure out how to do them yet. So
I wondered if I could get a little help.
I have the books of the Bible arrange in hierarchical format. Each chapter
is on it’s own page. So the pages are arranged like this:
bible
bible.genesis
bible.genesis.1
bible.genesis.2
etc.
So here are the things I would like to do, that I haven’t been able to
figure out yet:
1.) In the header and the footer I would like to have the chapter numbers
of the current book listed out in a row, so the reader can click on any
chapter they want to jump to. The chapter number is the third element in
the page name. So I think I would use a command like this:
[(search group=all chapters in current book fmt=all in a row)]
But I don’t know how to write this properly to accomplish that, although
I’m guessing it is fairly simple.
2.) I would like to have a “Previous Chapter” link and a “Next Chapter”
link in the side menu, which would only be visible if the reader was
currently in a book. I don’t know if it would be best to use the search
function to create these links, or have it be a regular link with an [if]
statement that would only show it if a book was open and would also check
if the reader was in the first chapter or last chapter (in which case only
one of the links would be displayed).
3.) I would also like to have a page where I list all the books of the
Bible in order. I can use [(search group={p} exclude={p2} fmt='<(toc {+p}
offset=2)>[[{+p}|+]]' type=-{zones})]. But this lists them in alphabetical
order. And I would like to list them in the order they are in the Bible.
Is there any way to specify a certain order for the search function to list
them in?
4.) Is there a way to display special characters in boltwire? Right now
it doesn’t display or save special characters properly. Just as an
example, the copyright symbol in code.settings gets strange characters
added to it every time I do any editing in that file, and re-save it. And
if I try to insert special characters into any of my pages it does the same
thing to them. (I’m running my webserver on windows if that makes any
difference).
Thanks a lot to anybody who can give me some help figuring these things
out. If anybody else wants to use this recipe when I am done let me know!
