Bibles
======
Managing Bibles in OpenLP is a relatively simple process. There are also
converters provided to get data from other formats into OpenLP.
Bible Importer
==============
If you are using an earlier version of OpenLP or, come from another software
package, you may be able to convert your existing database to work in OpenLP
2.0. To access the Bible Importer :menuselection:`File --> Import --> Bible`.
You may also enter the Bible Importer by clicking the :guilabel:`Import Icon:`
.. image:: pics/themeimportexport.png
You will see the Bible Importer window, click :guilabel:`Next`.
.. image:: pics/bibleimport01.png
After clicking :guilabel:`Next` you can select from the various types of
software that OpenLP will convert Bibles from.
.. image:: pics/bibleimport02.png
Click on the file folder icon to choose the file of the Bible database you
want to import. See the following sections for information on the different
formats that OpenLP will import.
Importing from OpenLP Version 1
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Converting from OpenLP Version 1 is a simple process. First you will need to
locate your Version 1 Bibles.
Windows XP::
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\openlp.org\Data\Bibles\
Windows Vista / Windows 7::
C:\ProgramData\openlp.org\Data\Bibles\
OpenLP Version 1 Bibles have the `.bible` file extension. After selecting
all of the OpenLP Version 1 Bibles you want to convert, click :guilabel:`Next`
.. image:: pics/bibleimportdetails1.png
Enter your Bible name and copyright details. Click :guilabel:`Next`. It may
take some time to convert your Bibles so please be patient.
.. image:: pics/bibleimportfinished1.png
When the import has finished click :guilabel:`Finish` and you should be
ready to use your OpenLP Version 1 Bibles.
Importing OSIS Bibles
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
**About OSIS Formatted Bibles**
OSIS is a format intended to provide a common format for Bibles. More
information can be found out here: http://www.bibletechnologies.net/
If you have any software installed that is part of the Sword Project
http://www.crosswire.org/sword/index.jsp it can be easily converted.
Importing OSIS files is very simple. Select your OSIS Bible file and click
:guilabel:`Next`
.. image:: pics/bibleimportdetails1.png
Enter you Bible name and copyright details. Click :guilabel:`Next`. It may take
some time to convert your Bibles so please be patient.
.. image:: pics/bibleimportfinished1.png
Click :guilabel:`Finish` and you should be ready to use your OpenLP Version
1 Bibles.
You can use the commands below convert Bibles from that software to OSIS format.
The following commands are used in all platforms and the commands are case
sensitive across all platforms. To convert a Bible using Command Prompt in
Windows or a Terminal in Linux or MAC you would type::
mod2osis biblename > biblename.osis
For example: if I wanted to convert a King James Version Bible I would type
something similar to this::
mod2osis KJV > kjv.osis
You may also wish to dictate a file location for the conversion to place the
osis file for example::
mod2osis KJV > /home/user/bibles/kjv.osis
Importing OpenSong Bibles
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Converting from OpenSong you will need to locate your bibles database. In the
later versions of OpenSong you are asked to define the location of this. The
songs will be located in a folder named :guilabel:`Bibles`. This folder should
contain files with all your bibles in them without a file extension. (file.xmms).
When you have located this folder you will need to select the bible from the
folder.
You may also import downloaded bibles from OpenSong. The process is the same,
except you will need to extract the bible from a zip file. This is usually done
by right clicking on the downloaded file and select `Extract` or `Extract Here`.
After selecting the OpenSong Bibles you want to convert, click :guilabel:`Next`
.. image:: pics/bibleimportdetails1.png
Enter your Bible name and copyright details. Click :guilabel:`Next`. It may
take some time to convert your Bibles so please be patient.
.. image:: pics/bibleimportfinished1.png
When the import has finished then click :guilabel:`Finish` and you should now be
ready to use your OpenSong Bibles.
Importing Web Download Bibles
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
**About Web Download**
OpenLP provides a Web Download method to import Bibles when you do not have a
locally installed Bible available. The Web Download method registers the Bible
in OpenLP like the other bibles only it downloads the verses as you need them.
This import is not meant to be used as your sole source for Bibles, but rather
as another option and does require an internet connection.
To use the web download feature select web download from the import wizard.
.. image:: pics/bibleimport01.png
You can select from several options of location to download from and also
what Bible translation you need. You will probably want to choose the location
from where you get the best performance or has the translation you need.
.. image:: pics/webbible1.png
You can also select a proxy server if needed from the `Proxy Server` tab. Your
network administrator will know if this is necessary, in most cases this will
not be needed.
.. image:: pics/webbibleproxy1.png
After selecting your download location and the Bible you wish to use, click
:guilabel:`Next` When your import is completed click :guilabel:`Finish`
.. image:: pics/biblewebcomplete.png
You should now be ready to use the web bible.
Importing CSV formatted Bibles
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If you have a Bible in .csv format OpenLP can import it. CSV Bibles will
consist of two files a `books` file and a `verse` file.
Select CSV from the list of Bible types to import.
.. image:: pics/bibleimport02.png
You are now ready to select your .csv files. You will need to select both your
books and verse file location.
.. image:: pics/csvimport1.png
After you have selected the file locations you can click :guilabel:`Next`
.. image:: pics/bibleimportfinished1.png
Click :guilabel:`Finish` and you should now be ready to use your imported CSV

==================
Configuring OpenLP
==================
OpenLP has many options you can configure to suit your needs. Most options are
self-explanatory and we will quickly review them.
To configure OpenLP, click on :menuselection:`Settings --> Configure OpenLP...`
The plugins you have activated will have configure options. If all the plugins
are activated there will be 9 tabs across the top you can configure.
General Tab
===========
.. image:: pics/configuregeneral.png
Monitors
^^^^^^^^
To select the monitor you want to display OpenLP on, click the drop-down box
and choose.
Display if a single screen
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
When this box is selected, you will be able to see your display on a separate
window on the monitor you are using. Click the display and push the Esc key
on your keyboard to close the display window.
Application Startup
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
**Show blank screen warning:**
When this box is selected, you will get a warning when opening OpenLP that the
output display has been blanked. You may have blanked it and shut down the
program and this will warn you it is still blanked.
**Automatically open the last service:**
When this box is selected, OpenLP will remember the last service you were
working on when you closed the program.
**Show the splash screen:**
When this box it selected, the OpenLP logo will be displayed in the center of
the screen until the program opens. This is useful to know if the program is
opening.
Application Settings
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
**Prompt to save before starting a new service**
When this box is selected, OpenLP will prompt you to save the service you are
working on before starting a new service.
**Automatically preview next item in service**
When this box is selected, the next item in the Service Manager will show in the
Preview pane.
**Slide loop delay**
This setting is the time delay in seconds if you want to continuously loop
images, verses, or lyrics. This control timer is also accessible on the "live
toolbar.
CCLI Details
^^^^^^^^^^^^
**CCLI number**
If you subscribe to CCLI, this box is for your License number. This number is
also displayed in the Song Footer box.
Display Position
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This setting will default to your computer monitor. It will override the output
display combo box. If your projector display is different, select the Override
display position and make the changes here to match your projector display. This
option also comes in handy when you have the "Display if a single screen" box
selected. You can make the display smaller so it does not cover your whole
screen.
Themes Tab
==========
.. image:: pics/configurethemes.png
Global Theme
^^^^^^^^^^^^
Choose the theme you would like to use as your default global theme from the
drop down box. The theme selected appears below. The global theme use is
determined by the Theme Level you have selected.
Theme Level
^^^^^^^^^^^
Choose from one of three options for the default use of your theme.
**Song Level:**
With this level selected, your theme is associated with the song. The theme is
controlled by adding or editing a song in the Song editor and your song theme
takes priority. If your song does not have a theme associated with it, OpenLP
will use the theme set in the Service Manager.
**Service Level:**
With this level selected, your theme is controlled at the top of the Service
Manager. Select your default service theme there. This setting will override
your Song theme.
**Global Level:**
With this level selected, all songs and verses will use the theme selected on
the left in the Global Theme drop down.
Advanced Tab
============
.. image:: pics/configureadvanced.png
UI Settings (user interface)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
**Number of recent files to display:**
Set this number for OpenLP to remember your last files open. These will show
under File.
**Remember active media manager tab on startup:**
With this box selected OpenLP media manager will open on the same tab that it
was closed on.
**Double-click to send items straight to live:**
With this box selected, double-clicking on anything in the Media Manager will
immediately send it live instead of to Preview.
**Expand new service items on creation:**
With this box selected, everything you add to the Service Manager will be
expanded so you can see all the verses, lyrics and presentations, line by line.
When you open OpenLP, everything will automatically be expanded in the Service
Manager.
Songs Tab
=========
.. image:: pics/configuresongs.png
Songs Mode
^^^^^^^^^^
**Enable search as you type:**
With this box selected, Media Manager/Songs will display the song you are
searching for as you are typing. If this box is not selected, you need to type
in your search box and then click on the Search button.
**Display verses on live tool bar:**
With this box selected, a Go To drop down box is available on the live toolbar
to select any part of the verse type you want displayed live.
**Update service from song edit:**
With this box selected and you edit a song in the media manager, the results
will also change the song if it is added to the Service Manager. If this box
is not selected, your song edit changes will only be available in the Service
Manager if you add it again.
**Add missing songs when opening service:**
With this box selected, when you open an order of service created on another
computer, or if one of the songs are no longer in your Media Manager, it will
automatically enter the song in your Songs Media Manager. If this box is not
checked, the song is available in the service but will not be added to the
Media Manager.
Bibles Tab
==========
.. image:: pics/configurebibles.png
Verse Display
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
**Only show new chapter numbers:**
With this box selected, the live display of the verse will only show the
chapter number and verse for the first verse, and just the verse numbers after
that. If the chapter changes, the new chapter number will be displayed with the
verse number for the first line, and only the verse number displayed thereafter.
**Display style:**
This option will put brackets around the chapter and verse numbers. You may
select No Brackets or your bracket style from the drop down menu.
**Layout style:**
There are three options to determine how your Bible verses are displayed.
`Verse Per Slide` will display one verse per slide.
`Verse Per Line` will start each verse on a new line until the slide is full.
`Continuous` will run all verses together separated by verse number and chapter
if chapter is selected to show above.
**Note: Changes do not affect verses already in the service.**
**Display second Bible verses:**
OpenLP has the ability to display the same verse in two different Bible
versions for comparison. With this option selected, there will be a Second
choice in the Bible Media Manager to use this option. Verses will display with
one verse per slide with the second Bible verse below.
**Bible theme:**
You may select your default Bible theme from this drop down box. This selected
theme will only be used if your `Theme Level` is set at `Song Level`.
**Note: Changes do not affect verses already in the service.**
Presentations Tab
=================
.. image:: pics/configurepresentations.png
Available Controllers
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
OpenLP has the ability to import OpenOffice Impress or Microsoft PowerPoint
presentations, and use Impress, PowerPoint, or PowerPoint Viewer to display
them and they are controlled from within OpenLP. Please remember that in order
to use this function, you must have Impress, PowerPoint or PowerPoint Viewer
installed on your computer because OpenLP uses these programs to open and run
the presentation. You may select your default controllers here in this tab.
Advanced
^^^^^^^^

With this option selected, you will see `Present using` area with a dropdown
box on the Presentations toolbar in Media Manager which gives you the option
to select the presentation program you want to use.

**Preview:**

Remote Tab
===========
.. image:: pics/configureremotes.png
OpenLP gives you the ability to control your Service Manager from a remote
computer through a web browser. This was written actually for a nursery or day
care where a "come and get YYYY" message could be triggered remotely. It has
now become an interface to control the whole service remotely.
An example of one use for this would be if you have a missionary with a
PowerPoint presentation, it may be easier for that missionary to remotely
connect to your projection computer and change the slides when he wants to.
To use this feature you will need to be on a network, wired or wireless, know
the IP address of the projection computer and enter that IP address and port
number in the remote computer's web browser.
To find your projection computer's IP address for Windows, open Command Prompt
and type in “ipconfig” (without quotations), press Enter key and your IP
address will show. In Linux, open Terminal and type “ifconfig” (without
quotations), and use the IP address after “inet addr:” The IP address will
always have a format of xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx where x is one to three digits long.
Server Settings
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Serve on IP address: Put your projection computer's IP address here.
Port Number
^^^^^^^^^^^
You can use the default port number or change it to another number.
With these two settings written down, open a web browser in the remote computer
and enter the IP address followed by a colon and then the port number, ie:
192.168.1.104:4316 then press enter. You should now have access to the OpenLP
Controller. If it does not come up, you either entered the wrong IP address,
port number or one or both computer's are not connected to the network.
