I can't seem to make the ESV the default loading translation for the online webpage. Can anyone help with this? Is it possible?

Thanks!

    Assuming you are using the biblia website you can do this in the Library pane.

    If you find the ESV in your Library and click the dot to the left it should make it the default

    FYI - If you are either a Logos Now subscriber or own a Logos 7 base package you will have access to the new mobile app that Logos is looking on - app.logos.com - which provides more functionality

    Thanks Graham. What I'm doing is linking from gty.org 's devotional website that uses biblia in it's daily scriptural links. However, every time I click on one it pops up with the NASB as the default. I can then click the url and change it to esv but I have to do this each and every time. I am a logo's 6 silver customer so I do have may titles to my login but it doesn't seem to help when coming thru grace to you's website. Thanks for your help!

    I believe that is the way the site has set up the reftagger plugin.

    When configuring that the website owner has the option to specify the Bible version to use and my guess is they have specified NASB. If that is the case then there isn't anything that we - in accessing their site - can do to change it.

    Yes I suppose that is the case. Odd though, because I know JM is a fan of the KJV (which I don't get at all.. lol Still one of the greatest preachers of our day!). The NASB isn't too bad I guess.  [:D]

    Thanks again Graham.

    Seems to me that the *.JS embedded code could easily be changed to make the reader's choice to override the sites, if the reader chose to.  Here's how:

    • First check to see if the reader was logged in:
      • If not, display the website's version specified
      • If he is logged in:
        • Check to see if he has chosen to display and override the specified translation.
          • If not, display the website's version specified
          • If yes, then display the user's choice.

    While this may not be how your plugin works today, my guess is that this could be easily changed.  Ask your engineers and let me know.  If they can't, maybe I can get it done.
