Hi, Costas,
Any word on when instructions will be released on how to build the excellent hybrid module (.gbk/.cmt)?

Re: Hybrid .cmt/.gbk Module Building Instructions
Hi Dave,
immediately after the imminent release. I chose to not include the hybrid as an official feature of the new version (although it does work as you know). I still need to finish some details for better support on the UI level,

Re: Hybrid .cmt/.gbk Module Building Instructions
Sorry to ask again, Costas, but am wondering if there will be any instructions for us module builders as to how to build the hybrid modules. I know someone figured it out; but alas, I'm not as smart as some others.
Re: Hybrid .cmt/.gbk Module Building Instructions
In viewtopic.php?f=7&t=4857, I found WJ Swanepoel's attachment very helpful. This is the resulting hybrid module: http://www.wordmodules.com/the-word-mod ... ing-for-j/
Basically, this was an experiment for me, and there is no cookbook to pass along. I would be happy to answer questions, perhaps towards coming up with a more methodical approach. The key steps:
From WJS, "verse.sync=1" was added to the config table. The "rel_refs" table was created using his SQL. Two different modules were created. One for the book itself, one for the commentary references. A welcome surprise, the modules were eventually joined using drag n drop. The status bar read "Adding ..." then "Indexing ...". You have to appreciate our chief programmer!
Creating the "rel_refs" table was done in a text editor by combining elements of a spreadsheet with the authors data and the other tables for topic_id, etc.. This was formatted for the table with regular expressions.
I hope this is a start for some more of your fine work ...

It's mostly an issue of adding a couple of utils first, not of putting some instructions I think.Doctordavet wrote:Sorry to ask again, Costas, but am wondering if there will be any instructions for us module builders as to how to build the hybrid modules.

Re: Hybrid .cmt/.gbk Module Building Instructions
Do you plan on releasing a "hybrid building utility" at some point? If so (please!), soon?
