Sermon Browser Template Tags
…go back to main Sermon Browser page
If you want to change the output of Sermon Browser, you’ll need to edit the templates. You’ll need to understand the basics of HTML and CSS, and to know the special SermonBrowser template tags. There are two templates, one (called “results page”) is used to produce the search results on the main sermons page. The other template (called sermon page) is used to produce the page for single sermon. Most tags can be used in both templates, but some are specific.
Results page only
- [filters_form] – The search form which allows filtering by preacher, series, date, etc.
- [sermons_count] – The number of sermons which match the current search critera.
- [sermons_loop][/sermons_loop] – These two tags should be placed around the output for one sermon. (That is all of the tags that return data about sermons should come between these two tags.)
- [first_passage] – The main bible passage for this sermon
- [previous_page] – Displays the link to the previous page of search results (if needed)
- [next_page] – Displays the link to the next page of search results (if needed)
- [podcast] – Link to the podcast of all sermons
- [podcast_for_search] – Link to the podcast of sermons that match the current search
- [itunes_podcast] – iTunes (itpc://) link to the podcast of all sermons
- [itunes_podcast_for_search] – iTunes (itpc://) link to the podcast of sermons that match the current search

Is there any suggestion how I could ensure that the plugin understands cyrilic letters? As of now i have ??????? instead of russian letters. I can translate the .po, .mo, but still, it doesnt dysplay russian language. Could you suggest a setting please?
Hello, how do I edit the Filter form÷ I want to change the “Filter” button to say “Search” and the word “Preacher” to “Speaker”. Thanks!
I can’t figure out how to add [kjvtext] to the plugin. I tried to follow the FAQ but couldn’t even find the reference to [esvtext] neither.
Also, is there a way to add a download link for the sermon being listened to?
HELP! (and thanks for the support)
