    I'm not clear what is or isn't working for you but my hunch is that it will be solved by this thread: https://community.logos.com/forums/t/148119.aspx

    Thanks for the thread.

    Some are working and some not. I called FL this morning and they too could replicate the issue and they/she assured me that they were working toward resolving the issue.

    Well Milkman they still are not linked.  Most (I would say over half) links just tell you the name to the title, they are not even linked to the book much less the article.  I did check a couple of other threads and this has been a problem for sometime now.  But on the website it still states:

    All references to commentaries and lexicons are linked to your digital titles.

    I don't know what that means to logos, but they are supposed to be linked to my books!!!  Maybe they have a different definition for "all".

    Isn't that just an indication of when they were last updated? The oldest resources show no indication of a link unless there is a specific active link, the middle aged resources shown the resource only when there is no active link, the newest resources tend to have the most active links because very little has been added since they were indexed. Or do you have examples of ancient resources - in place before the Exegetical summaries - that are not linked?

    Could you give me an example? I've spot checked a few and I'm not sure what you're seeing.

    The first one AB I do not own, but when hovering over it I get this, and clicking on it.


    Reicke, Bo. The Epistles of James, Peter, and Jude. The Anchor Bible, edited by W. Albright and D. Freedman. Garden City, NY: Doubleday, 1964.


    Is suppose to show an article??


    The second one is BKC, it refers to a 1983 edition and I have 1985 edition.  But when hovering over this I get this, and clicking on it.



    Blue, J. Ronald. James. In The Bible Knowledge Commentary, edited by John F. Walvoord and Roy B. Zuck. Wheaton, Illinois: Victor Books, 1983.

    Greenlee, J. H. (2008). 


    When hovering over EBC I do not own But I get a piece of it from the book.  Can't copy it.  It just quotes the verse no commentary.  Same with  clicking.


    When hovering over GNT Not sure if I own, but same as above It just quotes the verse, no commentary and clicking on it.


    When hovering over and clicking on it I get this.  I do not own.  HNTC



    Laws, Sophie. A Commentary on the Epistle of James. Harper’s New Testament Commentaries, edited by Henry Chadwick. San Francisco: Harper and Row, 1980.


    When hovering over ICC I get commentary and I own the book.


    When hovering over Lns I get commentary and I own the book.


    When hovering over and clicking NBC.  I have a book by that title but different edition and author it claims is not listed on the book.



    Ward, Ronald A. James. In The New Bible Commentary, Revised. Edited by D. Guthrie and J. A. Motyer. Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 1970.


    When hovering over NIC I get commentary and clicking on it brings up the book.


    When hovering over and clicking NIGTC I get this and I own the book.

    When hovering and clicking on NTC I get this but I own the book.



    Kistemaker, Simon J. Exposition of the Epistle of James and the Epistles of John. New Testament Commentary. Grand Rapids: Baker, 1986.


    When hovering over and clicking on TG I get this.  I do not have this book.



    Bratcher, Robert G. A Translator’s Guide to the Letters from James, Peter, and Jude. London, New York, Stuttgart: United Bible Societies, 1984.


    There is a few examples.  Let me know what to expect?  What is expected of this resource?  You only get info when you own the book and sometimes when I own it I still get no info and clicking on it does not even open the book.



    Sorry when I typed it out it was all spaced!!








    Thanks Matthew

    AB: this is an abbreviation for a book that we do not carry. The link is functioning as expected.

    BKC: We carry the 1985 edition and this is a link to the 1983 edition. Because they are different editions we do not "open" the 1985 resource and treat it like an abbreviation.

    EBC: This opens the Expositor's Bible Commentary

    GNT: This opens the Greek New Testament

    Hb: Same scenario as BKC.

    HNTC: We don't carry this edition so it functions as an abbreviation.

    ICC: Opens the ICC commentary volume

    Lns: Opens the commentary

    NBC: We don't carry the commentary so it functions as an abbreviation

    NIC: Opens the commentary

    NIGTC/NTC: We missed this one. It should have been tagged.

    TG: We don't carry this title so it functions as an abbreviation

    With the exception of NIGTC/NTC it appears everything is functioning as normal. We can certainly get those two updated easily.

    Thanks Kyle, but you failed to answer my question.  What should we expect from this commentary?  So if you don't own that book no commentary.  I think on your website you should note that because it says:  

    All references to commentaries and lexicons are linked to your digital titles,

    And I guess as time goes by their will be less and less of the linking.

    And I guess as time goes by their will be less and less of the linking.

    I'm having trouble figuring out how you get here. For a given resource, the references that are contained should never change. A second edition would be a new resource.

    • those references that exist in Logos are linked when the resource is first released
    • as new resources are added to Logos that contain references that are unlinked references in the given resource, updates to the given resource are released.
    • if new editions of referenced resources are released, it has absolutely no effect on the given resource because the given resource doesn't refer to them.

    I don't see where you think links are getting dropped.

    All references to commentaries and lexicons are linked to your digital titles,

    I think this means to say that all references and commentaries are linked to the corresponding Faithlife digital title, if one exists.

    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."

    Still waiting on a response from Kyle.  But MJ as resources are updated then the old is not for sale usually.  Go back and look at Kyle's response, he said that all the one's that you don't have in library (the exact one, same edition) then their is no piece of an article shows up.  I noticed that the books I was missing were quite old, and everyone I checked out has an updated version, so if logos is going to carry it someday in the future I would assume they would use the updated version and as it is not the exact same book it won't be linked. 

    As best as I can figure, still waiting on Kyles response.
