User Created, Custom Devotional

[Ravin]

Love The Software! It's extremely convenient to have everything linked together in a never ending web of unfocused unity!
I get lost in the word like I never have before.

I was hoping to be able to use a daily devotion other than Spurgeon's, but I dont' know how to set it up so I can reference it by date And topic. I can access my devo online but it would be great to be able to even create my own book or commentary so that I could easily reference scriptures & have them all inter-connected.

Also, and I am probably just not seeing a setting somewhere, in my Bible pane I am unable to see or find a checkbox to show my user created books, though I can see my user commentaries.

Thanks for being open to reading my post, though you don't know me, or the fruit on my tree.

I was hoping to be able to use a daily devotion other than Spurgeon's, but I dont' know how to set it up so I can reference it by date And topic.

I would suggest creating it as a Book module. However, SwordSearcher's devotional functionality (date access on the Devotional menu) isn't applicable to user-created material.

Also, and I am probably just not seeing a setting somewhere, in my Bible pane I am unable to see or find a checkbox to show my user created books, though I can see my user commentaries.

The Book links in the Bible margin area only appear when there is a reference to that verse somewhere in the book. Once you've created some book entries with verse links (such as #Ge 1:1|), you'll start seeing the margin links where appropriate.

The reason you see the "Edit" links for your user commentary on each verse is because commentaries, unlike books, are verse-based, so an entry can be added to a verse just with the click. Since books are topic-based, not verse-based, there is no "Edit" link for books on verses.
