Using the ESV Web Service at Toongabbie Anglican Church

Toongabbie Anglican Church in Australia uses the ESV Web Service to show the Scripture passages that go along with talks—without leaving their site and even without going to a separate part of their site. They use AJAX to integrate the ESV text right into the page.

For example:

Click the Bible Passage link… … and the Bible passage appears in the side column.

Update: The Toongabbie webmaster explains how it works (including code).

The sidebar even displays the footnotes and formatting of the Scripture text. Impressive indeed!Are there any ajax/PHP developers out there who can help us make this sort of functionality a reality for Scripturizer? [...]

  3. [...] Simon Job, webmaster for Toongabbie Anglican Church, graciously and generously released the code for his sweet AJAX-powered show ESV text feature (see ESV blog writeup). I think Simon’s code can be nicely adapted into Scripturizer’s next release in order to revamp the current show/hide ESV text functionality. [...]

  4. The ESV Bible Blog has linked to a recent Bible Talk from Toongabbie Anglican Church to show how we implemented their ESV Web Service on the site. Nice of them to send us some new traffic.
