README

A Magento2 module that provides dynamic Torah verse/quote sliders for both the backend (by default) and the frontend. Whether you're a store admin or a customer, you can enjoy these engaging, responsive sliders.

The module calculates the available space and adjusts the number of words per line to optimize the display. If the text exceeds the configured row limit, the verse scrolls vertically, creating a seamless user experience. This ensures that the widget is Responsive Web Designed and works beautifully on all devices.

One of the most exciting aspects of this module is that it leverages the Torah library, a powerful API client with built-in caching (via SQLite). This PHP library pulls text from the Bible Info service, offering up to 21 different translations. For more details, feel free to check out the repository.

If you're excited about this project and want to support its ongoing development, consider buying me a coffee! Your support means a lot and helps keep this project alive.

New Features:

Torah Input (frontend/backend)

This UI component allows you to select any Bible verse from any translation, with a preview available in both the frontend and backend. Simply click the verse to navigate to the full passage on the Bible service.

Frontend

Choose any Bible verse you like:

Backend

Easily edit the Bible verse reference directly in the form (just click back button):

Torah Search

Search feature helps you find what you are looking for in the Bible. There are several options for searching available. The results are presented with pagination. You may choose the page (next, previous) and set amount data visible on a single page.

Note: Before using the search feature, you need to index your preferred Bible translations by running the following command: console command for f.e bt:

bin/magento torah:cache:flush bt && bin/magento torah:cache:warm bt

Searching options

• Search: Enter the text you're looking for.
• Search in results: Narrow down results with additional conditions.
• Search parts: Filter by specific sections of the Torah (e.g., Tanakh, Nevi'im ketuvim, Brit Hadasha or Old Testamet, New Testament)
• Case-sensitive search: Enable or disable case sensitivity.
• Verse context: Choose to display surrounding verses for context.
• Translation: Select one of 21 available translations.

Torah Annuals Group

This feature allows you to display a specific quote on a given day of the year—perfect for creating a daily inspiration widget! You can set up 366 quotes, one for each day of the year.

To create an annual quote:

• Create a quote and fill in the required fields.
• Assign it to an annual group.
• Name (field 'Code') the quote using a special code that includes the date (last 4 characters represent the month and day, e.g., 'quote1024' for October 24th).

Installation Guide

cd YourProject
composer require jaroslawzielinski/torahverse-m2

Uninstallation

To uninstall the module and revert all database changes, run the following command:
