What you've suggested works just fine, and I get the SWMgr ....... but I get a problem when I try to show the footnote. The code is below. I've set up three MessageBox calls to show footnotes, verse text and raw verse text. The raw verse text is correct ever time. But in the other two messageboxes, I only get to see the first character of the footnote or the verse text .... these are correct every time, so I know the call is getting the right information. Am I missing something quite silly? Look at the bottom three lines of the code for the messageboxes. Apologies in advance for my lack of knowledge.
My next step is to try and get the command line version up and running, but I'm so close with this one that I haven't spent the time doing that as yet. URL footnote(t); // t is char* to URL string SWBuf module = footnote.getParameterValue("module"); SWBuf key = footnote.getParameterValue("passage"); SWBuf footnoteNumber = footnote.getParameterValue("value"); // Now that you have extracted all the info you need from the URL, // you can lookup the footnote... // get the module it's in SWModule *mod = SwordIndex::manager->getModule(module); // set that module to the correct entry mod->setKey(key.c_str()); // force a parse of the entry mod->RenderText(); // grab the correct footnote from that entry //SWBuf footnoteText = mod->getEntryAttributes()["Footnote"][footnoteNumber]; // this line doesn't get the footnote SWBuf footnoteText = mod->getEntryAttributes()["Footnote"][footnoteNumber]["body"].c_str(); // either this or the line below gets exactly the same //SWBuf footnoteText = mod->getEntryAttributes()["Footnote"][footnoteNumber]["body"]; // convert from base markup to display markup footnoteText = mod->RenderText(footnoteText); // now you can display footnoteText in your popup MessageBox(0, strtowstr(footnoteText), L"Footnote", MB_OK); // this displays the first character of the footote correctly every time MessageBox(0, strtowstr(mod->RenderText()), L"Verse text", MB_OK); // this displays the first character of the verse correctly every time MessageBox(0, strtowstr(mod->getRawEntry()), L"mod->getRawEntry()", MB_OK); // this displays exactly what you'd expect and is the correct verse God bless, Barry -- From Barry Drake (The Revd) minister of the Netherfield United Reformed church, Nottingham see http://www.jesusinnetherfield.org.uk for our church homepages).
