PRA and Barclay's Commentaries

I don't know what is happening here, but Barclay's commentary on John is not showing any PRA with anything else. Yet, it appears in the PRA and can be loaded from other commentaries. But once you load Barclay's you're in "no man's land".

    This Daily Bible Study seems to be defaulting to Page number rather than Bible reference. It's not showing any PRA's because you can't have a PRA based on page numbers (notice that in your screen grab it shows a page number rather than Bible reference). If you type in the reference in the navigation bar, hit enter, and then click the PRA button your other commentaries will show up.

    Seems like it's a bug in the resource/metadata... not certain which. Logos?

    I've reported a crash that occurs on my system when I change the reference in a resource from Bible to Page Number and click on the Parallel Resource Set button. This issue may be related.

    That explains it! A few days ago, I had a PRA fail indicating no parallel resources. I did not look at the navigation bar, nor do I remember which commentary caused the problem.

    Thanks, Kevin, I will watch for that if/when it happens again.

    Don't know if this is of the same nature, but the same holds true for "Handbook to Paul's First Letter to the Corinthians".

    I tried your example with interesting results. The arrow keys would not change resources, but moved the cursor into the find box and moved it around there. However, the parallel resources in the collection were listed under the PRA button. After I selected one of those resources, the arrow keys worked normally, even through the UBS Handbook. 

    Now, it works correctly for several random passages in 1 Corinthians. I have never had the page number appear in the find box.

    This seems to happen with other volumes in this series, but on a rather random basis. When moving through one of the volumes with the Article arrow buttons, the find box will randomly shift to page numbers. I'm not sure I can detect a consistent pattern.
