I've just updated Enscriptured to make it easy for Accordance users to create a Bible reading plan for use in User Tools.

For an example, visit http://www.enscriptu...n.php?planId=31 notice at the bottom where it outputs the plan there are three links, one of them is "Download html for Accordance User Tool". That will download an html file formatted to be easily recognized by the Accordance User Tool.

Once you download the file, open Accordance and go to File / User Files / Import User Tool and follow its steps. Point it to the html file you downloaded from Enscriptured and it should produce your Bible reading plan.

There are still a few glitches on the Enscriptured side, and one remaining pattern matching issue in Accordance (if a passage spans books, such as Day 31 in my example linked above: Accordance doesn't recognize "Genesis 49:28-Exodus 1:7" as one continuous passage. I can adjust Enscriptured to account for that, I just haven't yet).

As it is, it should be useful for anyone who wants to create their own Bible reading plan and use it in Accordance. Please feel free to offer feedback, either on Enscriptured itself or for the way I format the html file it outputs for Accordance.

Nice work. I tried it out and it came into Accordance fine.

If you have something that crosses from one book to the next, you can copy and paste into the search field to bring up the passage.

I've just tweaked Enscriptured so it splits passages that span books, so, for example, instead of Genesis 49:28-Exodus 1:7 it gives Genesis 49:28-50:26; Exodus 1:1-1:7. This way Accordance properly recognizes these ranges. If you bookmarked a link to your plan, just go back to it and download the Accordance file, it will have this change.

Accordance is not properly tagging Song of Solomon, I still need to tweak that output so it uses Song for the book name, which Accordance does recognize.

Updated: I've just added the change just mentioned; instead of 'Song of Solomon' it uses simply 'Song'. I think Accordance should properly recognize everything now.

Thank you very much for this. I'll be messing around with this a bit as I get closer to the end of my next reading cycle.

I'm new to your program. Looks great. Is there a way to designate books for a certain time of the year? For instance, I want to read straight through the Bible throughout the year; however, I would like to read Luke in December and one of the Gospel passion narratives during Easter. How would I do something like that? Thanks!!

Thanks for this tool Chris! It is pretty easy to use. I think I may have to create something myself for this, but I want my reading plan to be broken up by the day...and at the same time I want a check box for chapter read. The reason being is that many days I like to read ahead by a chapter or two in some cases. I can't see where your tool marks a passage as read?

I guess the best example of this that I know of is the reading plans that are built into Mantis Bible for the iPad/iOS.

I thinking I may have to make a custom one in something like Evernote, but that's a separate thing at the moment. Thanks again for a great tool!

I was able to create a list with checkboxes in Bento. I made a CSV file from a HTML formatted file I downloaded from the site and then imported that into Bento and added a checkbox field. Perhaps doing something like that would be useful to someone.

I'm getting an error when trying to export the Accordance file on this.

 

[EDIT] Here is the error message:

Chris, I've just played with enscriptured and it's fantastic. Thank you very much! Please don't let that site die!
