I'd like to make a small improvment request on passagestudy and powsersearch page. This should be a big help for non-English speaking readers. I will be more than happy to help make this small improvement if some one knows the trick but not have the time yet can still provide some guidance like how to get the full localized book name list and the short hand mentioned below. I can hard code the shorthand list if it not exist already.
Here is the improvement request: on Passagestudy.jsp <form action="<tiles:getAsString name="lookup_url"/>"> <fieldset> <legend><t:t>verse or passage:</t:t></legend> <input type="text" name="key" size="15" /> <input type="submit" value="go" title="Go to verse or passage" /> </fieldset> </form> The "key" here instead of asking user to input like "gen 1:1", I'd prefer it be a combination of 3 drop down list: book, chapter, verse. The key can be generated as book+" " +chapter+":"+verse. At least the book name short hand should be from drop down list. Many readers do not know the English Short hand, especially when the short hand is in a different language. The label of the book names on the dropdown list should still be in the same language as the default bible version/or locale. Since chapter/verse numbers range are different for different books, we could either set a maximum range, or let the user input, or change the range according to the book name selection. Similar on the powersearch page for the search range spec. --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Send sword-devel mailing list submissions to > sword-devel@crosswire.org > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, > visit > > http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel > or, via email, send a message with subject or body > 'help' to > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > You can reach the person managing the list at > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it > is more specific > than "Re: Contents of sword-devel digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
