WordPress Plugin: LDS Scripturize

Here’s a WordPress Plugin I created to take any scripture in your post and hyperlink it to the LDS.org scripture reference. It seems to be a little finicky so use with caution. It’s easy to install by adding it to your plugins folder and then activating.

The plugin turns John 1:3

into John 1:3.

You can also hyperlink a series of verses like 1 Nephi 1:7-10

into 1 Nephi 1:7-10.

I can’t seem to get D&C references to work but I’m trying. The download location is here

    Great work John. I’d hoped for something like this for sometime. MT users have had the LDS ScriptureLinker at http://mt-plugins.org/archives/entry/scripturelinker.php, but it’s great to finally have a Wordpress plugin to do the same job. I guess I’ll have to stop procrastinating and upgrade to WPv1.2.

    I had anticipated that this function would parse the reference into the typical url format:
    http://scriptures.lds.org/1_ne/3/7-10

    however your query string format of
    http://scriptures.lds.org/query?words=1+Nephi+1%3A7-10
    returns what I think is a better page, especially with the inclusion of the footnotes.

    Thanks again.
    If you don’t get it going first, I’d be happy to have a look at the code for the D&C and see if I can help to figure it out when I have some time.

    Thanks DP. I just uploaded a cleaner version. I removed some excess code but I’m afraid the D&C is going to be beyond my abilities. There are so many complicated regex that I’m at a loss. Maybe you can see what you can do.
