net installation for
BibleTime
(1) To configure
the Bookshelf Manager, go to Settings > Bookshelf Manager in the
toolbar and select Install/Update Works.
(2) Click the
Add Library button. In the Dialog Box that opens:
(a) Enter a Caption for the Library, for example: Bible.org
(b) Leave the Type set for remote, and enter: ftp.bible.org in the
Server text box.
(c) Enter /sword/ in the Path text box and then click OK.
(3) Choose
~/.sword from the Select Bookshelf Path dropdown list. Note: if you
install your modules in another location make sure that you have the proper file
permissions to read and modify that directory's contents.
(4) Click the
Connect to Library button.
(5) You may
either download all of the modules in a general catagory by ticking the
selection boxes, or you may expand the trees and make individual module
selections. We recommend that you first install netfree - this
contains only the first three notes for each chapter, but is adequate
for evaluation. You may also wish to try netnotesfree, which is a
commentary module and nettext which is the text only with footnotes
shown as number markers.
(6) Click the
Install Works button.
If you wish to install the premium version that contains all the notes,
you will first need to purchase the unlock key from our shop. The
same key unlocks both net and netnotes, and by this time, having
evaluated the free versions, you will know what you need. When you have
finished downloading the Premium net and NetNotes modules, you will
need to provide a Cipher key to unlock them.
See the *Note*
below after unlocking the modules in Bibletime:
(a) From the Main Bibletime Window, expand the Bibles > English tree
in the Bookshelf side panel. Right mouse click on the net Bible entry, and select
unlock this work from the pop-up context menu. Enter your Cipher key in
the dialog box, and click OK.
(b) Scroll down in the Main Bibletime Window Bookshelf side panel, and
expand the Commentaries > English tree, and repeat the unlocking procedure
for the netnotes module.
You may have to
quit and restart in some versions of Bibletime for the changes to take
effect.
*Note*:
Bibletime only uses the contents of the .conf file or the unlock dialog
as input - it does NOT update the contents of the .conf file. See the feature request
1461085. It stores the cipher key in ~/.kde/share/config/bibletimerc.
If you wish to
use the Premium net modules with other sword Project frontends like
Gnomesword or Jsword, you will have to edit the configuration files
~/.sword/mod.d/net.conf and ~/.sword/mod.d/netnotes.conf. Just enter
your key number with no extra spaces on the line in those files
that begins with: CipherKey=. For example:
BlockType=Book
CipherKey=9999FFfF9999FfFF
CompressType=ZIP
In either
Nautilus or Konqueror select View > Show Hidden Files. Navigate to
the .conf files and right click on them. Select a text editor like gedit or kedit from
the pop-up context dialog. Enter your key number and File > Save
your changes.
You may wish to
backup your net.conf and netnotes.conf files. If you delete your .kde
settings after a KDE version upgrade, or re-install the sword modules for
any reason they will be lost or overwritten.
If
you are an advanced user and prefer to use the raw zipfiles, then
download and open the zip file from one of the links below. Make sure
that the box is checked to allow unzipping into the correct directories
as
these do not yet exist in your installation. Make sure too that
the button is checked to extract all files.
