Have you noticed that this plugin doesn’t work anymore. It looks like scriptures.lds.org has changed and links in the format created here are not accepted. For example, in order to get to Genesis 1:1, you need to use http://scriptures.lds.org/gen/1/1#1.

I just started my blog, but I have this installed. I bet this works great. Do you happen to know if there is a random scripture plugin available, that would be sweet too.

I found a little thing that is more of an issue fr me than anything really. I typically inset my references with a space after the “:” symbol. So, Moroni 10: 3-5 would have that space. Your pluging requires no space. Fixable? Just a thought

Thanks for the bug fix, it worked great for me.

Thanks for the heads-up, dp. You were right about the bug with fourth Nephi verses. The Bible plugin I ported this from wasn’t expecting 4’s in front of book names. I didn’t want to post yet another entry for this, so I’ve decided to call this version 1.2a (now linked above).

This version also fixes a bug I found with links to the Official Declarations. Apparently you can’t use the normal search query on LDS.org to find those. Weird. The following links should now work correctly:

Looking ahead, I’d like to make it possible to reference certain things with just a verse number. For instance, “Article of Faith 1″ or “first article of faith” should be hyperlinked to A of F 1:1. That might also be nice to implement for single chapter books (e.g. Jude, Enos, 4 Nephi, etc.). Let me know if you have any feature requests.

This release should be pretty much bug free, so I’ll let it sink in for a while before I try to update it (or I may release another bug fix tomorrow — who knows?). I’ve got homework and other projects, so I don’t want to spend much more time on this for at least a month. Look for version 1.3 in a few months.

Great work, I must give credit where credit’s due. This has replaced John Hesch’s LDSScripturizer in my plugins list.

I noticed that links to 4th Nephi don’t appear to work. Any tips?

Hooray! I’ve been hoping for an LDS Version of the linker for a long time! Thanks so much!
