Note and inclusion of other "reading plans" #840

Open DonaldTsang opened 4 years ago

DonaldTsang commented 4 years ago

Consider the following URLs that share a very large but limited set of reading plans:

I would like to create a list of reading plans out of these aggregate links, and see if it is possible to integrate them into the app.

tuomas2 commented 4 years ago

Someone should go through if they allow redistribution and possibly ask permissions. Though that does not mean that we accept them all automatically. Then need to reformat them into the reading plan ascii format, see example from here: https://github.com/AndBible/and-bible/blob/develop/app/src/main/assets/readingplan/y1ot6nt4_profHorner.properties

Are you willing to help with these @DonaldTsang?

DonaldTsang commented 4 years ago

Absolutely!

timbze commented 4 years ago

@DonaldTsang my recommendation would be:

  1. As you noted above, make a list here of additional reading plans that are not yet in the app.
  2. As Tuomas noted, check if we have permission to redistribute, and try to get permission where it's unclear.
  3. Confirm which plans we are willing to add into the app by default
  4. Create the .properties files needed in order to add them. Additional information here

On another note, even if there are plans that we can not add for some reason, you are always able to make the properties file and use it personally by the way of the instructions in the link above.

I'd be willing to adapt some plans to AndBible if this is an area no one else is currently doing.

timbze commented 3 years ago

Hi @BrianGaucher that would be great! Please look at my last post here for pointers in what could be done.

If @DonaldTsang has made any progress, please post here what it is that you have been, or are working with.

BrianGaucher commented 3 years ago

I haven't looked at all the plans. Kinda forgot. But in ANDBible. All plans are 1y or 2y. But nothing shorter than that. But in the list above many of them had the Bible in 6-months or 90 days. Or a survey of Bible sections in 90d. So I'd think it would be good to include some shorter less complete plans. As I'm sure there isn't some programming limitation limiting plans to exactly 365 days.

timbze commented 3 years ago

We have added a "90 day through the Bible" plan which can be downloaded like other Bible modules from "Add-ons" category.

This works only in version 4.0 (currently still in beta)

timbze commented 3 years ago

I have also just received permission to distribute this plan

I will see when I can get to preparing it, unless someone else gets to doing it before me that would be welcomed too.

Great. It looks good.

I've tried to import one but it failed with File does not contain a valid SWORD module

So how can I figure out what's invalid there?

LE: nvm, looks like there were extra hidden files from macos and also the zip tool nested the folders one more time.
