Release notes

Updates the bundled CWM Scripture Library to 1.1.21, and finishes two Scripture buttons that did nothing.

Asking for a passage that crosses a chapter boundary — Genesis 1:26-2:3, Luke 7:36-8:3, any reference of that shape — failed when the translation was stored on your own site. Instead of the verses you got an error page. References inside a single chapter were never affected, which is why this could sit unnoticed for a long time: most scripture links point at one chapter. Nothing was damaged and nothing needs repairing; the affected references simply work now.

Two buttons on the Scripture settings screen had also never been finished. Remove all translations and the automatic clean-up that runs when you switch a provider off both stopped with no message at all — the screen simply sat there, because the browser was handed an empty reply it could not read. Both now do what they say.

More generally, when anything on that screen fails it now tells you why instead of leaving the page waiting. The previous behaviour could only report a problem it had anticipated; an unexpected one produced silence, which is why these two buttons looked like they were doing nothing rather than failing.

Two details worth knowing about Remove all translations. It removes the translations you downloaded and leaves the built-in KJV and WEB in place, so your site always keeps a working Bible. The provider clean-up is narrower than its name suggests: switching a provider off only clears catalogue entries you never downloaded. A translation actually stored on your site stays, because it keeps working offline no matter which provider first offered it.

The scripture linking behaviour in articles is unchanged.

No action is needed after updating.

Release notes

Updates the bundled CWM Scripture Library to 1.1.20, which fixes scripture fields failing to load on Joomla 7.

On Joomla 7, the scripture reference fields stopped working: typing a book name no longer offered suggestions, the chapter and verse hints did not appear, and the Bible version selector lost its search filter. Browsers reported Joomla is not defined in the developer console. Joomla 5 and Joomla 6 were unaffected.

The library's JavaScript uses Joomla's own core script, but never told Joomla it needed that file loaded first. On Joomla 5 and 6 the core script happened to load first for other reasons, so the omission never showed. Joomla 7 does not load it in that order, so the scripture fields stopped before they could start.

The scripture linking behaviour in this package is otherwise unchanged.

No action is needed after updating. If you are on Joomla 7 and have been seeing empty or unresponsive scripture fields, they will work again once this update is installed and your browser cache is refreshed.

Full Changelog: https://github.com/Joomla-Bible-Study/CWMScriptureLinks/compare/v1.2.9...v1.2.10

Release notes

This release updates the bundled CWM Scripture Library to 1.1.13. The three plugins in the package are unchanged.

What changed

Scripture lookups can now resolve a book from its book number, not just its name, and this works across all four Bible providers — API.Bible, Bible Brain, GetBible and the local provider. Previously only some providers could do this, so the same reference could succeed or fail depending on which provider a site had configured.

The library also gained a structured way for other extensions to request a passage, and a supported way to read the full book-name table. Both are for developers building on the library.

Do I need to do anything?

No. There are no new settings, no database changes, and nothing to reconfigure after updating. If scripture references already display correctly on your site, they will continue to.

Upgrading

Install this package over your existing one — it replaces the library and plugins in place. Sites running Proclaim should update Proclaim as well when its next release becomes available, so that both carry the same library version.

Requires: Joomla 5 or 6, PHP 8.3 or newer.

Release notes

Maintenance release.

Fixes

• scripturelinks.xml version bumped from 1.1.0 → 1.1.5. The plugin manifest had been left untouched at 1.1.0 since 9 commits before v1.1.4; only the package wrapper was bumped during prior releases, so users saw a 1.1.0 plugin row inside a 1.1.4 package install.
• plg_task_cwmscripture/cwmscripture.xml version bumped from 1.1.0 → 1.1.5 for the same reason.
• Set full creationDate values where they were month-only.

Changes

• Bump nested lib_cwmscripture submodule pointer to v1.1.4 (dead-code cleanup, build-tools v0.4, 7 new locales).

Artifacts

• pkg_cwmscripture-1.1.5.zip — full package (library + content plugin + task plugin) for Joomla install.
