How to add my own commentary?

[Andrew Rogers]

Hi

I have created my own test commentary following these instructions:

https://wiki.crosswire.org/OSIS_Commentaries 

I used xiphos binaries to do this.

I have then added it to xiphos on my Windows machine and it works fine.

But I dont know how to get it to appear in AndBible.

I have added the module files (nt, nt.vss, ot, ot.vss) to the /jsword/modules/comments/rawcom/agref folder.

But I don't know where to add the agref.conf file. I assume AndBible needs this?

i also wanted to create a compressed version as per

https://wiki.crosswire.org/DevTools:Modules#Compressing_Modules  

Does AndBible require the module to be compressed?

I am not sure how to "install the module so that it can be accessed using the SWORD engine" mentioned in the docs. I assume that simply means copying the files into the right place. 

They are in the right place for xiphos. Is it a different place for the 'SWORD engine'? I tried adding them to 'C:\Program Files\Crosswire\xiphos\share\sword\' but the compression utility at 'C:\Program Files\Crosswire\xiphos\bin' still says it can't find the module I am trying to compress.

Anyhow, maybe compression is not necessary at the moment. I really just want to see if i can get a module to AndBible.

Thanks

Andrew

I would recommend you to make a zip file, taking example by "backing up" an existing commentary module using "back up documents" feature, and then installing your module zip file via "Load documents from zip" feature.

Best regards,

And about compression: AB supports (via JSword) both compressed and not compressed.
