This module worked most of the time, but it had two 30 second errors about a month apart that filled our error log with 2.9 million PHP Warnings and made a 283 M file. We had to remove the module and will not be using it again. (Since the developer's site doesn't seem to be up any more, these errors had to do with a failed fopen, then repeating feof and fgets errors.)

It does not work on my website. It tries to load and then eventually times out displaying the timed out php error and makes that nothing else on the page will load after that. I currently have it unpublished due to this. The advertisement is quite annoying but I guess understandable. I am a christian and I really did want this on my website. I'm glad it works for some people.

This module works as intended, however this module uses a function I restrict on my server for security reasons. (This may be why the module does not work on godaddy)

I have disallowed the use of the remote file open in php.ini
(allow_url_fopen)

You can read more about the security concern on the PHP Security Consortium's website. http://phpsec.org/projects/phpsecinfo/tests/allow_url_fopen.html

It works very well.

First of all I would like to give two thumbs up for this module. It works as stated. I've had no problems with it. It would be nice to be able to remove the link.

In regards to the limited versions available, it's not at all in the control of the developer of this module. I too at first was a bit annoyed with the limited selection so I went ahead and opened up the modules files and started adding versions using BibleGateway.com version codes. They didn't work. And this is why. This is Biblegateway.com's Verse of the Day feed. It ONLY outputs the verses supported by this mod. Biblegateway doesn't broadcast the VoTD in other translations besides the one this module gives.

So using BibleGateway.com as a source, the only way to add translations would be to get in touch with BibleGateway and ask them.

Easy to install and works fine, but there should be more bible versions.
For example, the only spanish version in the list is too old and hard to understand for many people.

I tried this module and works but I will not use it because I need a module that recognize automatically the actual language of the site and it has to be able to change its language automatically.

These are two bugs found and solved (I hope!).

In file mod_votd.xml try to change the line:



with :




In file mod_votd.php try to change the lines:

if ($DisplayAudio == "No") {
$verse = str_replace(strstr($verse,' 0 ) {
$tempB = strpos($verse,'');
$bible_Passage = substr_replace($verse,'',$tempA,$tempB - $tempA);
}
}

I love this module. I used it for my ministry site. Thank you so much for sharing this. Just one suggestion: it would be great if there is a way to remove the link from the verse. GBU.

This is an excellent module that did exactly what it says. I think it's great from install to configuration.

Unfortunately, I have been unable to get it to work with GoDaddy hosting (I get an internal server error whenever the module is turned on). I hope an update is the answer.

Other than that, it works with other hosting sites. Great job!

I am using this in a youth group site. It is clean simple and yet has the right features.

I just added this to my site and it is a very nice addition. Just wondering if there is some way to add other versions as I see there are more available than what are included in the moduled.

I have used this module on many sites. It works great - no errors or problems! Thanks!

Easy to install, reliable and works great!

I installed this on my main site and have had issues since. The module DOES work, BUT if bible gateway happens to timeout then it throws warnings. These filled up and overran my error_log and killed my site until i deleted the error_log. I ended up just going to www.biblegateway.com and using the html they provide to display the same thing in a module, works and no errors. I do hope the developer continues this and improves it but I wanted to provide my experience here.

No surprises; works perfectly.

but perfect for its job.

Nice Module, does its job.

This module does exactly as advertised. It's very easy to install and configure.

In trying to think of improvements, the only thing I can think of is having a "check version" facility in the backend to make sure admins are always running the latest version.

Unfortunately, there's no way to know of version upgrades without manually checking the joomla extensions website or manually entering the backend to run update checks on different modules.

joomlaforge has a good "monitor" section (which emails the subscriber of changes to projects or files), so maybe it's an idea to include mod_votd on forge.joomla.org so admins can monitor releases when they're posted there?

I'm hoping one day Joomla itself can do similar to Mozilla/Firefox extensions and allow for the checking of mod/com versions with the click of a key.

For now though, as other modules are slowly going the "check-update" route, it would be good for mod_votd to also have it (and good for it to be registered on joomlaforge so admins can monitor releases).

Either way, this is a good module if you're running any type of Christian site.
