Hotlinks in DBL Greek

When I am using the Dictionary of Biblical Languages Greek I am not able to get all of the hotlinks to go property to what is being referred to. [They just stay within DBL.]. For example, in the following layout [see below], the links to Strongs and TDNT do not work. I assume that this problem has to do with PRIORITIES but I am not sure how to keep my priorities straight [pun intended] so that ALL of the appropriate references will show up. Thanks for any help you could give concerning this.

The easiest to do this is to leave your existing prioritisation list as it is, but use advanced prioritisation to ensure that resources only open for the links you want. (If you haven't prioritised your lexicons yet, do so now. Just put your favourite at the top, down to your least favourite at the bottom. You'll find it easier not to mingle lexicons in with commentaries/dictionaries, so keep all your lexicons together in your prioritisation list. Your first five lexicons will show up in right-click menus, and the order of your prioritisation list will be reflected in your Bible Word Study and Exegetical Guides.
- Once you have your lexicons listed, right-click on DBL and choose Set Prioritization Limits.
- Then in the box that says "Apply only to…", select the DBL type from the dropdown. This would mean DBL would only open for links that were proper DBL links. It wouldn't open for links to Greek words, TDNT or Strong's Numbers.
- However, you probably want DBL to also open from Greek words, so add another DBL entry in the prioritization list, and again right-click to set limits, but this time choose "Greek" from the menu.
That will probably solve your problem. There is an alternative method, which is to add your favourite Strong's Lexicon and your TDNT at the top of your prioritisation list, making sure that they only open for the appropriate type (Strong's Number and TDNT respectively). If you choose this, you'll need two Strong's entries (one Greek, on Hebrew), and you'll probably also want to add a 'normal' entry for TDNT and perhaps Strongs somewhere below this top one, so that it also shows up for Greek lemmas.
There's a couple of videos of prioritisation if you follow the link in my signature.

Thanks, Mark. I think I did what you suggested in the first method - but TDNT links do not come up. But when we Set Prioritization Limits what do we do for the catagories IN THIS RANGE and FOR THIS RESOURCE?

When you say TDNT links to not come up, do you mean they open in another resource? If so, probably the offending resource is Enhanced Strong's Lexicon. If that's prioritised above TDNT, you'll need to add another copy of TDNT at the top of your prioritisation, and restrict that resource to TDNT links only.
You'll see I have two TDNT's in this list. The first is to guarantee that TDNT opens when I click on a TDNT link. The second is to place TDNT in the 'right' place according to my preferences when I click on a Greek lemma. (If you find that TDNT opens for Strong's Numbers and you don't want it to, then you can restrict this second entry to just Greek.)
(You can ignore "in this range" and "for this resource" in this instance.)

Mark,
I did what you suggested and it cleared up the TDNT - but I now have TDNT appearing for Strong's Numbers. In your suggestion at the end you said "restrict this second entry to just Greek" - did you mean TDNT or that I should create ANOTHER Enhanced Strong's priority (with restriction to Greek)?

Yes, just restrict the second TDNT entry to Greek only, and it will stop it appearing for Strong's numbers.

Thanks, Mark. I got it working for both my Hebrew and Greek lexicons
