Hello everyone, brothers and sisters.

 

I have a question for you: is ToolTip Tool NT the only program available for making e-Sword modules?

 

Because I'm currently trying to make a bible module in which there are hyperlinks (for ex. R123, for reference #123) wherein you hover the mouse over it and a popup window appears with either a remark, a reference or an explanation. So far, the only module I found achieving this is ESV+ (which module is not linked to any other module like a .cmtx or a .dctx, amazingly enough). How in the world did they manage to make it? Someone please tell me because this is not possible with ToopTip Tool NT.

Thanks and God bless you.

The first thing you need to understand is the all e-Sword modules are SQL databases and can be edited using an SQL database editor. Tooltip NT does not have the functionality to create Popup notes however they can be easily created using an SQL database editor. 

I have posted the instructions for creating Popup notes the post that the previous poster provided a link to

Just to add a tad more info on this, without reinventing the wheel, and using an existing one, particularly using a third party resource file, eg., a Bible file, one can use the SQLite to create a new version out of that file. That is the method I used for the creation of the Maori Bible.

 

I guess you can call this recycling.

My module is now done and dusted ! I created the references file in MS-Word, then made a .csv file by copy-pasting the data into notepad++, saved it in .csv format, then imported it into SQLite (dropdown menu in top-left corner > File > Import > “Table from CSV file...”) into my already ToolTip-created bible module and voilà. It took me a few days for adding 1819 references in the NT. It works flawlessly, thanks to everyone for your recommendations.
