Recipe - Scripture Reference Tooltip

Skill level: Beginner

Organization: Kevin Rutledge

Requires Rock: 1.8.0

{# strip images & classes from the HTML but otherwise leave structure #}

Sometimes you want to show bible passages, and due to copyright, there are services that you can send a request to an API. However, sometimes you may just want to include a bible reference. I created a shortcode added to a page(I use on my content channel pages), that uses biblegateway's provided javascript. If you follow the instructions below you will only need to put {[ scripture ]} on any page you want to load the script. Be sure to put this shortcode under the content that should be scanned and have the tooltop added. A good place is either at the bottom of the block or in the Post-HTML

Create a Lava Shortcode under Admin Tools > CMS Configuration > Lava Shortcodes using the following Properties:
- Name: Scripture Tooltip
- Tag Name: scripture (you can change this to what you want to use to call the shortcode)
- Tag Type: Inline
- Description: This includes a javascript tag that will turn bible references into tooltips powered by BibleGateway
- Shortcode Markup
```
        <script src="https://www.biblegateway.com/public/link-to-us/tooltips/bglinks.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
        
        <script type="text/javascript">
            BGLinks.version = "NRSV";
            BGLinks.linkVerses();
        </script>
        
```
