Bible import problem

I have got a problem with importing bible into openlp from csv format. I really do not know where I am making something wrong. It would help me, if someone will post a example file for import, as I can see where is a mistake

Hi Martin,

I assume you've seen the documentation on this?

The books file looks something like:

BookId,TestamentId,BookName,Abbrieviation 

i.e.

1,1,"Genesis","GEN"
2,1,"Exodus","EX"
...
40,2,"Matthew","MT"
...
66,2,"Revelation","REV"

The verses file looks something like

BookNameOrId,Chapter,VerseNumber,VerseText

i.e.

"Genesis",1,1,"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth."
"Genesis",1,2,"The earth was formless and void, etc."
... 
 

Re: Bible import problem

Thank you for your reply.

But I have still problem, probably because I have bible in slovak language.  The deal is, I have imported this bible into openlp, but special characters like š č ť and others are displayed like u\354? . When I tried to change the csv file and made from u\354? normal character (ex. č) it is impossible to import it. Can You help me? thank you and God bless

Re: Bible import problem

Martin, glad you've managed to import the Bible. Was there anything special you had to do, in case it helps others in the same situation?

Re: Bible import problem

Nothing special at all, you just need to have the file from which you are importing bible closed in other programs, and you have to name your bible with the name that is not used yet.
