Bible verses in Signals

I've used the Proclaim Bible slides, but instead the Church want to use a single slide with the verse on it and attach a Signal to it. So if we have Mark 14: 43-52 we have a Signal that takes people to that verse.

But if I write that verse as a signal it takes me to Mark 14: 52, rather than Mark 14: 43, so should the Signal be written like the latter version or is there a format to write them?

Hi Phil

I think I must be missing your point.

If I add a Bible item and put Mark 14:43 on it the signal takes me to that verse

If I add another Bible item and put Mark 14:42 on it the signal takes me to that verse.

What are you seeing? Or are you doing something different?

What you are trying to do sounds correct.

Is this what you see in the Proclaim client? The reference should not have a red border around it.

This is what you should see in the mobile app.

What is the preferred Bible of the mobile app user? This is used by the mobile app and could be relevant.

Hi Graham: First, I'm not adding a Bible Item but a Bible signal to an existing image slide. And secondly, when you add a Bible Item for a section of text - Mark 14: 43-52 for example - don't you need to put a start and finish?

Hi Scott. Yes that is what I see when entering the Signal; the box is white and a valid Signal which appears on my phone as below (that's the verse it should go to on the right):

When I click on the link it takes me to Mark 14:52.

Obviously for use in the service Grahams suggestion works fine as the slide will show which verse it goes too, but as the App stores the presentation Signals for viewing afterwards (is there a way to remove unwanted finished presentations?) if people are looking at the Signals afterwards it would be helpful to have the section of reading.

I guess one work around is create on Signal for the starting verse and a second on the same slide for the ending slide, and leave people to use their common sense.
