Logos Restore on New Installation

Thursday, May 1st, 2008

The time has come for me to reformat my machine (ugh) and since I had to do it I thought I would document how to get Logos up and running on a new install or new machine.

  1. Put my 3.0e [latest version] DVD in and run setup.
    (if you don’t have the latest version go to
    http://www.logos.com/support/downloads/ldls)
  2. Restore Licenses from Backup File
  3. Syncronize Licenses from Logos Website
  4. Run “Logos Restore Vista” batch files to copy all of my resources, PBB files, etc…
  5. Return to www.logos.com website and type “Personal Book Builder” in search box, on PBB page, click to download PBB install files
  6. Open up Libronix and I am ready to work 25 min from setup to finish.

Enjoy :-D

Backup Libronix on XP

After attending Camp Logos II this past February and making all kinds of customizations to my machine. I sat down and wrote a simple batch file to back up all the changed files to an external hard drive on my Vista Machine. Then I wrote a restore batch file to my Office PC which is running XP.

Now I have created a backup batch file for an XP system. I believe I have covered all places critical to be able to restore a Libronix System. Please let me know if I have missed something. 

All you have to do it download the zip file and right click on the batch file and choose “open with notepad.” Change the user name “Jeff.Brown” to whatever the name you log in your machine with and change the external drive letter “f” to whatever your drive is. Run the batch file and then go to your external hard drive and see if your files are there.

Reference Tagger

Thursday, February 28th, 2008

Have you noticed that all the scripture verses in this blog have now been tagged to biblegateway.com and have a “L” icon next to them as well. (Like Romans 8:28-39 here) This is the new RefTagger from Libronix that will automatically tag all your bible verses and if you own any form of Libronix (www.logos.com) all you have to do is click on the L icon and go to work. If you don’t you can still click the links and go to biblegateway.com. This is an awesome utility and if you blog and are a Christian, then I believe this is a must have. Read the full blog post here.

Enjoy

PBB Updater

Saturday, February 16th, 2008

If you own one of the Logos Base Packages then you have a key to read PBB (Personal Book Builder) Books that people have compiled. Here is the best way to update you library (sans money).

The folks over at www.stilltruth.com have a huge number of books and you can download them one by one or they have a nifty pbb_updater utility that can be used to automatically download any or all of these free resources. Click the link below:

http://www.stilltruth.com/2008/easiest-way-download-pbb-resources#attachments

Now download the file attachment PBB_Updater_Setup.msi and save it in your “C:\Program Files\Libronix\Resources” folder run the pbb_updater_setup.msi and install the program. I installed it on a Hp Laptop running Vista Home Premium and these are the settings I used. [Next - I Agree - Everyone - Next - (In Vista - Allow) - Close].

Right click on the ”updated mysettings.xml” link and choose “save target as” then in the location box choose “c:\program files\stilltruth.com\Pbb Updater” Click Save and it will ask you that this file already exists do you want to replace it? Click yes. 

(On this laptop I had to save the file in my documents folder and then copy and using Windows Explorer find the folder c:\program files\stilltruth.com\Pbb Updater” and click paste and then it asked if I wanted to replace it and I said yes and then it asked for administrator rights and I said yes then it replaced it.)

Now I click to run the actual program (In Vista - Allow) I selected every box  (1) Application, (2) StillTruth.Com and (3) Walther Library 965.637 MB Total Download as of today (02/16/08) and now it is downloading all kinds of cool PBB for my library.

If I can help in any way contact me at jeff@jeffbrown.com and also I have included the mysettings.xml file from my computer here: MySettings.XML file for Personal Book Updater 

Tagging Bible Addresses for Personal Book Builder

Thursday, February 14th, 2008

Have you ever tried to tag all your bible references for a document that you want to in include in your Libronix Digital Library? I have and doing it manually takes tons of time :-(

However the folks over at www.spiritandtruth.org have created a bible address tagging program that works in a dos environment. Here is the simple steps to running it and getting the output you desire.

Step 1: Download the zip file from their website, the direct link as of the date of this post is:

http://www.spiritandtruth.org/download/tools/bibletag.py.zip

However the page could change and the page I downloaded it from is:

http://www.spiritandtruth.org/download/tools/index.htm

Step Two: Create a folder to put your files in. Once you get the zip file - unzip it to a folder you can find. I created a folder called “C:\BibleTag” once you get the files unzipped there is no installing anything! Don’t be intimidated where it talks about a python install - you don’t have to do anything but unzip the files and you are ready. To make a Libronix Personal Book Project you will want to open up “flags.txt” and delete all lines in this file and place the following two lines in it and save it:

-lbxpbb
-yes
 

Step Three: Copy your html file into the folder “c:\bibletag”

Step Four: In windows explorer drag and drop your html file right on top of Bibletag.exe

Step Five: You now have a file called “whateveryourhtmlfilename_bibletag.htm” and it is ready for your personal book builder project.

I would start out with a simple word document with maybe two or three lines in it and a couple of bible addresses. Save it as “Web filtered” (HTML) and then drop it on top of the bibletag.exe and watch it go to work. It only takes a few seconds with the largest of documents. :-D

Email me at jeff@jeffbrown.com if there I can be of any assistance. 

Camp Logos II

Friday, February 8th, 2008

Camp Logos II is almost here and I can’t wait. I don’t believe it has ever come to Oklahoma and I am so glad it is. It is scheduled for Feb 21-22 at Henderson Hills Baptist Church (www.hhbc.com) and if you have been to Camp Logos I then I don’t need to tell you why you should come!

If you are wondering what Camp Logos II is, it is an advanced class on how to use the software that I use everyday as a Christian/Pastor/Teacher. What an awesome time to learn how to use the Libronix Digital Library System even more!

Morris Proctor is the man when it comes to Logos training and you can find him here at www.mpseminars.com

CLII website is https://www.mpseminars.com/index.cfm/PageID/518/index.html and  if you haven’t registered hurry up because there is only two weeks left!

Blessings
