Devoted to Devotions on the Logos Blog

https://community.logos.com/discussion/comment/40417#Comment_40417

I was wondering the same thing but figured I was missing something obvious.

'twould be good if I could see my daily reading right there on the home-page - but I don't. I DO see a reading - but it's from Romans and not from where I am in my reading plan.

I just thought it was a random passage from my default Bible

I'd been meaning to create a reading plan, so this was an chance to do so. The reading plan shows up in the ribbon, but the excerpts don't follow it, and I can't figure out how to do anything except rearrange the ribbon.

So, I wonder, do the marketing people like us for nitpicking the details?

When I first read the post, I thought there must have been a new build of the software released with this requested functionality.

Maybe there is a new build coming that is behind the post?

So long as they don't start counting down on the blog again :-)

Jayson is looking into it.

Yes the Bible readings on the front page follow my prefered Bible, but where do I tell it which prefered bible reading plan for it to follow?

The Home Page will respect your resource priorities. So prioritize your top several devotionals (type:devotional), and Logos 4 will make sure to use it on your Home Page.

Thanks, Phil. That helped with my Morning & Evening.

Now, I'm none too bright so can you help with what I need to do to make my Reading Plans appear as per the blog entry?

I left a comment on the blog (unpublished) that I think helped them see where the disjunct was. In a nutshell, their pictures and wording made it sound like in the body of the Home Page, you'd see your reading plan with a 'Read more...' type link to take you to the reading. Now, the blog post is edited to read "Right there on the top of the Home Page is your Reading Plan" and the picture of the "Reading Plan material" has been removed.

I think that it would have been better to do an 'oops, it's broken', or 'that feature is coming but not here yet' or even "Ya know, I got that wrong' - than just to stealth re-write the post, but I supose that is Logos' choice.

Anyway - your reading plan stuff is there on the 'Ribbon' just like it has always been and your devotionals can be proritized to appear in the body - but the reading plan does not (currently at least) appear there.

On one level I agree with you. But on the other level the Logos blog is an official publication of the company. If mistakes get published on a printed pamphlet you get rid of the old pamplets and print new ones with the correct information. In most cases it would be superflous and distracting to leave comments about the previously mistaken information.

The error from this particular blog posting isn't all that big of a deal; I'm happy to let whoever wrote it save face with a stealth edit.

Official Blog = Good Point!

I have searched high and low for this feature on Logos 4 and I cant find it. Phil, is this missing from the Original Languages package? If so, why are so many of the best features missing from this resource?

I have searched high and low for this feature on Logos 4

Which feature? Prioritizing? Devotionals? Reading plans?

Devotionals.

I have followed the instructions in the blog post comments and my library tells me I have no devotions. On the screen shots of the home page I noticed the devotional "day of the year" is highlighted in blue. For the life of me I cannot discover this feature.

Mark,

if you open your library and enter "type:devotional" are there any resources listed?

https://community.logos.com/discussion/comment/40791#Comment_40791

Well if you don't have a devotional in your library - that would explain it. Here's a shot of my list, see if you have any of those...

https://community.logos.com/discussion/comment/40793#Comment_40793

WOW! With that many devotionals one would think you would be more spiritual :-)

Okay - But I think it is remiss of whoever posted the blog post to infer that everyone could do this!

I don't have any devotional resources.

Logos 4 is brilliant on one hand and yet sooooo frustrating on the other. The information is limited!

Philip,

After he's read them all, there's no time left for praying....

You mean we're supposed to be reading these Logos books too?

Philip, is there a way I can replace the one that appears on my home page with another one? I would prefer to have Oswald Chamber's "My Utmost for His Highest." Thanks for all the help you provide so many of us. Steve Spencer

Prioritize the devotional you want to read, it should put it at the front of the line for inclusion on the homepage.

Ladies and gentlemen,

It is i, the writer of the blog post in question. I am here in the forum with a bit of egg on my face . . . I was wrong and most of you are right. Your reading plan doesn't not open on the Home Page it is located on the bar above the Home Page. The Bible that opens does so randomly.

If you are having a hard time getting your prioritized devotional loaded try an F5 Home Page reset, it worked for me.

I have made some changes to the blog post since I ran it initially. And, with great humility, I apologize for the misleading information.

I put "My Utmost..." as priority # 1. But still have "Morning and Evening" showing up on the home page. Any other ideas? Or did I do something wrong?

don't feel too bad. If you've been following these forums you'll know there are quite a few of us with egg on our face :-) now if you get the programming powers to be there at Logos Grand Central to make it actually happen..... :-)

I prioritexed the devotionals Amazing Grace 366 Hymn stories and Grace for the Moment. But on my home page are still Morning/Evening and Utmost for Highest. Neither are prioritized.

UPDATE: I reorganized the contents by adding back all the stuff I had unchecked and now it is working fine as expected.
