Suggestion: NET Bible
Thanks Matt for the extension. I use the NET translation a lot and was wondering if it could be included in a future update of the code. Net Bible's universal search facility is very similar, using the same inputs as Bible Gateway. Ironblood 21:52, 3 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi Matt. With the help of a friend, I submit the following lines of code.
 * We added this line to the list of versions (bibleref.php)
 * 'net'          => 999, // NET Bible (net.bible.org)
 * We replaced the $output line with the following
 * if ($version == 999)
 * $output = "<a href='http://net.bible.org/passage.php?passage=".urlencode($input)."'";
 * else
 * $output = "<a href='http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=".urlencode($input).";&version=".$version.";'";
 * We had to reset the cache for it to work, and are really pleased with the results. The only problem I can see is that it doesn't open up the passage in a new window. Perhaps you can see where we went wrong and correct it. With you, soli deo gloria Ironblood 00:24, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

New Version 1.1
Thanks for those updates/suggestions. I've modified the code to include the suggested Net Bible functionality, using a slightly different method than that suggested so other Bible sites could easily be incorporated later. - Matt.dolan 08:12, 7 May 2007 (UTC)


 * There was no need to explain why you didn't use our code - ours was clunky, you were always going to do a better job than us. Thank you for even considering it. Many thanks. Ironblood 00:16, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Security fix
The 1.1 version of the code contained an XSS error, i.e. input was not properly escaped. This made it possible to include arbitrary HTML in the site. Anyone using this extension should update to version 1.2. -- Tbleher 16:13, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Using http://www.bibleserver.com
Just as an info for anyone wishing to use http://www.bibleserver.com: You don't need an extension for that, just use a template like ; example code:

Adjust lang and bible type accordingly. -- Tbleher 16:17, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
