Import Bibles & Themes From Another Program?

hc3church

We already have several bible versions that we have purchased to use with Easy Worship. Is there a way to import/ convert them to work with OLP?

We also have a massive library of Themes / Backgrounds - can these be easily imported / converted or do we have to work through the original jpegs creating new themes one by one?

Is there a way for you to send us one of those Bibles? We currently don't have an importer for EasyWorship Bibles, mainly because it hasn't been requested.

We also don't have a way to import "themes" from EasyWorship either.

Yes, if I can work out which file it is I will happily send you one of the bibles to play with. Where should I send it please?

Please email it to support at openlp.org

Have done so - however you can also find them here as downloads http://easyworship.com/bible/

I've just had a look at those Bible files, and they seem to be encrypted. I'm not sure that we'd be able to reverse engineer those. Does EW decrypt the Bibles on the fly, or does it unlock them and then store the unlocked version in a data directory somewhere? Any idea?

The worship Bible version for my dialect (Yoruba Language) is not available. We've gone to the extent of getting the Bible files in WORD formatted.

Is there a way to import/ convert them to work with OLP, without just cutting and pasting verses manually?

Should I email the zipped files to support at openlp.org?

We want a situation whereby we can display Bible Verses both in English and Yoruba (Languages) versions at the same time during service.

Thank for your assistance.

Unfortunately there is no way to import Word files at the moment. We are unlike to add an importer for Word because there is no way to know exactly how the verses are structured inside the Word document.

Are you perhaps able to create a text file with a verse on each line? That could be converted into a CSV file, which OpenLP is able to import.
