[resolved] Reading Plan: How To Import Home Screen Reading Lists?

I love the feature on L6 (maybe it was there in previous iterations...just noticing it now) of the "recent reading lists" on the home screen.  How do I take that reading list and add it to my "documents-->reading plans"?

Are these the same tools?

For me, the bottom line is that I don't have time to dig in to the list now but would love to have these resources and categories all ready for me to dive in at a later date and don't want to lose them when more recent reading lists post to my home screen.

Hope this makes sense.  Thanks in advance...

    No these are not the same tool.  This can be a little confusing.

    https://wiki.logos.com/Reading_Lists are user based and not necessarily a daily reading plan.  Now, with the arrival of L6 you can put some of the reading list material into a reading plan if it is a Logos resource.  But the reading lists themselves can go out to websites as well.  Hope this helps.

    Very helpful.  Thanks for the update.  Realized I never checked back on this.

    Is there any way to get the reading list I create in the browser to get to my Logos 6?  I want to be able to jump to the resources in my library from the reading list and would like to avoid manually entering all the resources into my Logos 6 reading list.

    Yes. Go to Tools. Under Bible Reference you will see Reading Lists. Select it and a pane will open on the left of your screen. This has a search box which allows you to find the appropriate list. If you mark a reading as read, the list will remain active until all readings are read.

    Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    Bless you! That worked perfect!

    Jeff,

    glad to see you're interested in Reading Lists.

    It seems that you just copied the original reading list "Alcoholics and Alcoholism" (which was created by Mark Barnes and last changed [restored from vandalism] by H.J. van der Wal ) into a new document on topics.logos.com - which is unfortunate, since currently the page thinks it has two lists for the same topic: https://topics.logos.com/Alcoholics_and_Alcoholism :

     

    If you intended to use this list as a template for your own list for another topic, that's fine - just remember to change the first line and it will have a new title. You can then change everything you like - but note, there are no private Reading Lists in Logos (unlike Reading Plans), those lists are in a way like wikipedia articles: readable by the whole world. 

    I personally start new Reading List topics by copying some of the parameter stuff from another list, but I take out the lines

    !! Reading List
    {{?set section::readinglist}} 

    while I'm constructing it to not force my trials with the wiki syntax into everyone's face (since then it will only show on the website, not within Logos).

    If, on the other hand, you just wanted to add something to Mark's list, it is wiser to edit the original instead of building a new page for the same topic. In this case you can simply delete all content from your new page and it will be gone.

    Hope this helps,

    Mick 

    Have joy in the Lord! Smile
