Love this idea. I can see so many uses for this as a teacher!! Hoping this becomes an easier process like mentioned above as adding a button/option to give you the link instead of creating it.

My wife is a youth Sunday School teacher, and she also is seeing lots of potential IF the process of acquiring/creating the link gets easier.

Got an email reply this morning from the Gospel Library Team about my feedback regarding GL having to be open for the deep links to work. They said it's a known bug and will be corrected in the next update.

Hey, I've got the syntax down for all the scriptures, but I am struggling to get a deep link working with preach my gospel. I tried similar syntax to what is on lds.org for PMG, but I haven't figured it out yet for the deep links. Is there any syntax page for this? I couldn't find one. I'm currently using:

gospellibrary://content/missionary/preach-my-gospel-a-guide-to-missionary-service/lesson-1-the-message-of-the-restoration-of-the-gospel-of-jesus-christ?lang=eng

and I'm getting "Content Not Available". I double checked and I do have PMG downloaded in gospel library on the test device. Thanks!

Try changing your "gospellibrary://content/missionary/" to "gospellibrary://content/manual/" followed by the rest of your link.

@davidbcarter:

Unfortunately that was what I tried during my first attempt, I reordered it to missionary because the manuals section of gospel library doesn't contain preach my gospel anymore and I thought that could of been why it wasn't working.

I've also tried p-m-g, pmg, and a series of other combinations for the book name and no luck.

That's odd... I suggested it because that's what works for me. I've not tried your specific link, but this one works for me (as long as GL is already open in the background):

gospellibrary://content/manual/preach-my-gospel-a-guide-to-missionary-service/what-do-i-study-and-teach/lesson-3-the-gospel-of-jesus-christ.p16

Well, for that one I have marked a place where you will need to insert:
what-do-i-study-and-teach/
between "service/" and "lesson-1 . . ." and it does have a .p1 at the end for the start of the lesson.

I can't help you with the overall link, though. Sorry.

Here's a working link to Lesson 1:

Code: Select all

gospellibrary://content/manual/preach-my-gospel-a-guide-to-missionary-service/what-do-i-study-and-teach/lesson-1-the-message-of-the-restoration-of-the-gospel-of-jesus-christ?lang=eng
Here was your link:

Code: Select all

gospellibrary://content/missionary/preach-my-gospel-a-guide-to-missionary-service/lesson-1-the-message-of-the-restoration-of-the-gospel-of-jesus-christ?lang=eng
The two differences were
  • you needed "manual" instead of "missionary"
  • you left out the "/what-do-I-study-and-teach/" portion

That was it! I had not realized that the lesson section "/what-do-I-study-and-teach/" was required. And yes, it needs to be manual not missionary. Thanks for the help!
