To reproduce:

  1. Run a Topic Guide for Church Discipline.
  2. Open the Reading List from the topics.logos.com section.

Result:

  • The Reading List tool begins a forlorn search for Church_Discipline.

Expected Result:

  • The Reading List tool opens to the topic on Church Discipline.

    Hmm, I can confirm this misbehavior, despite the fact that there is a page that seems to match, https://topics.logos.com/Church_Discipline, and the internal data seems correct. I'll file a case for this.

    Sean, the point seems to be that invoking a specific Reading LIst is not an existing functionality in Logos (it's somewhere on the back burner of the "missing features list") and L6 tricks this with a search in the Reading List tab, but the search only works for one-word texts. Non-alpha characters get mangled up in the transfer from the L6 program to the leightweight built-in browser that drives all such features. According to this thread from August/September, this is a known issue.

    Have joy in the Lord! Smile

    There might be several issues here, and the bug you reported on the other thread is still not fixed AFAIK. You can type "church discipline" (no space) into the search panel for Reading Lists and get a somewhat more helpful result, though the most helpful would be to go directly to the article.
