I’ve also written some fairly extensive documentation and recorded some tutorial screencasts. I’d value feedback about them, as well as the plug-in proper.

Thanks for all your help!

But you can see the new version in action on the test site. It allows sorting by bible book. You’ll can see the podcasting support (even supporting podcasts for specific queries - e.g. podcasts for certain preachers, or a podcast for just the morning service, etc.). There’s embedded video support, and a new sidebar widget. There’s also a new facility for automatically adding the bible text directly onto the sermon page (ESV version).

Multi-sermons form:
<div class="sermon-browser">
<h2>Filters</h2>
[filters_form]
<h2>Sermons ([sermons_count])</h2>
<table class="sermons">
[sermons_loop]
<tr>
<td class="sermon-title">[sermon_title]</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="sermon-passage">[first_bible_passage] (Part of the [series_link] series).</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="files">
[files_loop][file][/files_loop]
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="preacher">Preached by [preacher_link] on
[date] ([service_link]).</td>
</tr>
[/sermons_loop]
</table>
[next_page]

[previous_page]

</div>

Single sermon form:
<div class="sermon-browser-results">

<h2>View single sermon</h2>
Title: [sermon_title]<br />
Preacher: [preacher_link]<br />
Series: [series_link]<br />
Service: [service_link]<br />
Date: [date]<br />
[passages_loop]
[start_passage] - [end_passage]<br />
[/passages_loop]
Files:<br />

[/files_loop]
[next_sermon]
[prev_sermon]
Same day: [sameday_sermon]
</div>

If you want to remove the filters, then you can just remove [filters_form] from the template. Unfortunately, if you do so there’s no way of setting the default sort order.
