Peter, JSword uses HTTP tunneling to get to the modules' zip files and to the catalog of modules. Specifically it expects the following structure: www.xyz.com/a/b/c/root/ (note: a/b/c/root can be any path of your choosing) www.xyz.com/a/b/c/root/packages/rawzips/*.zips (no

David, It would take a few things: 1) Pull the ftp code we used to have out of jsword-limbo. 2) Change it so that it works through corporate firewalls that block ftp. 3) Change it so that it works with the default security settings of WinXP SP2. 4) Change it so that it works on a Mac, through i

Hi all, Time for me to chime in. Since Troy threw down the gauntlet. (BTW, we are good friends and I know he is teasing me for the differences) Yeah, we use a "custom" HTTP method rather than a "custom" FTP method. JSword uses a plug-in model for an installer and as such can accept p

On a branching note, thinking about quick & dirty hacks for this type of tool, what is the current state/lack of state for the Sword library's python binding? I thought I remembered hearing someone speaking about it in the past, but I don't recall hearing much about it. It would seem an ideal way

It might also be good to point out that using the modules (and having them available at that website above) in zipped format will also result in much happier customers and downloads from the site, as they will be able to download smaller files :) --Greg On 11/6/06, Troy A. Griffitts <[EMAIL PROTE

I believe that work has been done or is being done on a Bible in Brazilian Portugese. Certainly you're welcome to make translations of *almost* all of the texts in our library. If you ask more specifically which texts then it would be easier to give you an answer. However, translating an entire

I'll leave the question alone as to the value of a relational database for this data over using the SWORD API. You can do this a few ways depending on your familiarity of tools. If you can process raw text files, you can use of one the SWORD provided export utilities to produce plain text data

Hey Peter, Officially, a SWORD module repository merely requires FTP access to a standard install of SWORD modules. ftp://crosswire.org/pub/sword/raw This should allow all frontends which use the SWORD engine's install classes to use your repository (BibleCS, GnomeSword, Bibleti
