Use of Hyperlinks within Notes

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Currently, the function is there to insert hyperlinks to verses within Logos and webpages. What is not available is the ability to insert hyperlinks to other files on the user's hard drive. Without this, the user cannot link to other documents, saved html files, videos, or graphics. This is a simple function available within e-Sword, but not within Logos.

If you save the file on Onedrive, etc - can you hyperlink to it? Hyperlinking ot a file on your hard drive may be problematic (and/or a bad practice) as it won’t work if accessing from another device

Can you give an example - I can link to any valid URL accessible to my application.

Dennis Cornwell

Thanks for the question. I can also link to any valid URL on the web, what am I wishing to link to is a file on my hard drive, e.g.,

"C:\Bible Stuff\Charts\KINGDOM_OF_GOD_HEAVEN_CHURCH.png"

"C:\Bible Stuff\Maps\AssyrianSupremacyInTheSeventhCentury.jpg"

The same would be true for any html or pdf document on my hard drive.

I have tried to link through One Drive, but as path, it is not accepted by Logos within a link. If I'm missing something I'd sure like to know what it is. It sure seems like a pretty basic feature.

doesn't the windows file browser provide the URL under copy path?

Dennis Cornwell

No, it does not. It converts is as follows…

"C:\Bible Stuff\Social Issues\holywomen-english.pdf"

Becomes:

https://holywomen-english.pdf/, which gets me 'Hmmm…can't reach this page. Check if there's a typo.'

Without the quotation marks, it ignores that I've even input anything.

Bible Project Graphic Overviews
Last year during a training session, I noticed @Mark Barnes (Logos) had Bible Project graphics on his demonstration screen. I believe he mentioned they were in a german version of Logos (could be wrong there) but regardless they were present in his ecosystem but are NOT for english/american customers. I made a suggestion…
Allow users to type in the sermon builder on the IOS Mobile app.
Perhaps there is a way to do this, but I have looked and not been able to find it. I would love to be able to actually work on my sermons from my IOS phone. I can see what I have typed on my computer, but that is it, I cannot type new things. I would love this feature. If I could leave my PC and take up my composition on…
Sort Smart Bible Searches
It would be nice to be able to sort smart Bible searches. I like that I can save them as a passage list and then sort them, but one less step would be ideal. I came across a theme in Ezekiel 20 of God's name and I wanted to see how many times this idea is in Ezekiel. Smart Bible search was perfect for this!
Allow us to override Logos bias by attaching n - using the creation stories of Genesis as an example
Because of its reference to image, I prefer to use the Genesis 1 reference for the creation of mankind rather than Genesis 2. This is especially important to me in the current political environment as Genesis 1 has an androgynous Adam rather than a male Adam. However, Logos not only makes Genesis 2 the primary text, it…
Bible Study Builder more text options
Can we get more text options in Bible Study Builder, similar to Sermon builder. Bullets and Numbers, change of text color. Can we also get the Blockquote and illustration function.
