BUG: Tyndale commentaries & parrallel resources

It seems to be showing fine for me.  I'm on 4.1 beta 2.

a) sometimes commentaries are indexed differently. i could not get the BKC to show other collections when in John 1:1-28. So i selected the one showing and it still did not show other collections. So i changed the reference to Matt and wala the other collections appeared.

b) also don't forget to look for page numbers at the bottom of the PR drop down.

So try changing reference to a broader range or different books and see if your Tyndale collection shows up. At least you can understand how L4 has indexed it.

In your collection Top Commentaries i don't see the Tyndale commentaries. Could you show a screen shot of Top Commentary collection. (btw are you expecting the Tyndale comm to be in that collection or are you expecting a different collection?)

i see in the PG that you have it. i don't see the Tyndale NT in the PR for either the collection or parallel resources. Try going the other way around, open the Tyndale commentary to Matthew 1:1 and then see what shows in the PR drop down from it.

i looked in the metadata wiki page, to my understanding it looks OK.

the MacArthur Study Bible seems to be indexed as a commentary (in your PR it shows other commentaries).

I don't have pages in PR, don't know how you got them?

pages shows up when the resource that you are in appears in multiple collections. L4 will show each collection that your current resource appears in.

rebuilt index, problem remains.

David ~  When you right click on one of the Tyndale commentaries in your Library, is "Prioritize this series" one of the options?

Here you go Steve. And when in the MacArthur Study Bible on Matthew 1:1 the Tyndale Commentary on Matthew definitely does not appear in PR

i think there is definitely a bug or something not installed properly here. Notice that in the PR's Top Commentaries drop down that it is missing your current commentary (the one that you are in when you click on PR button). The current commentary should show up with an orange vertical bar on the left next to it.

To my understanding the current resource must always appear in a collection in the drop down.

You are probably in the 4.1Beta. It would be nice if someone here on the forum who has the Tyndale OT/NT commentary and running the Beta try to duplicate this. i am at a loss, any MVPs your assistance would be very helpful.

The image i posted was your image, it had no orange bar in it.

In zooming on Peter's image i could not find the Tyndale commentary (except the Concise version) in his commentary list.

Hey glad to try and help, sorry that i was unable to resolve your problem [:(]

It appears that you're metadata needs to be updated, which may fix all the problems you're seeing with the Tyndale Commentaries. Close the program and go to your Logos4 folder, open Data\uniquefolder.xxx\Updates and delete the Metadata.db file. Start Logos 4 and wait a few minutes to give it a chance to download the metadata before checking those resources in Library.

In My Library they have the correct series metadata, however these are the only two volumes which do not have any Subjects metadata. Is this the problem?

That may be the problem, however, I have the Subject metadata for those resources in my Library. I'll look into it.

Melissa, does this thread help? http://community.logos.com/forums/t/9971.aspx

It seems that sometimes (often?) Logos isn't "trying" hard enough to update the Metadata.  The solution in that thread ended up being renaming the metadata file to force it to recreate from the newest data available on the server.

That is what I had David try initially when the problem originated, however, the problem was with the metadata for that series. There is still an open case on the Tyndale Commentaries metadata issues, so I'm not sure the problem has been completely resolved. I've updated the case with David's continuing problems with the series.

Oops, sorry...I hadn't looked back on the previous pages.

No problem -- I appreciate everyone's input; it's very helpful. It appears that this problem should be resolved soon.

I am running Windows 7 on both and both are running the same version of Logos 4. One is working perfect, the other is not. I have deleted the metadata several times now on the laptop with the same result. I have even re-indexed.

Any ideas or help on the way?

The issue should be resolved soon. When it is, the metadata will be automated automatically after a Logos 4 restart.

While I am at it, I think this series is named strangely. I mean the individual volumes. It lists the book(s) it is covering, then " an introduction and commentary." It makes more sense to me to name it by the set, then the book(s) it is covering in that volume. That may be a publisher decision, not Logos, but it is still annoying to me.

We use the titles from the print versions. For other commentary series, you might find it helpful to arrange your Library by the 'Series' column when looking for a particular volume.
