Support for SermonSpeaker 5.x is in bugfix mode only, the same as it is for Joomla 3.10.
I will not add any new features to this releases.
Please upgrade to SermonSpeaker 6.x and Joomla 4.x, which is better anyway.

Scripture links not working was created by Jonathan Tice

See www.dovermaranatha.com/sermons-list
The scripture links have weird characters and none of the scripture link plugins work. Currently, I have BibleLink XT enabled. Any help would be appreciated.

Looks like an encoding issue somehow. How did you enter the scripture? Maybe copy-pasted from somewhere?

No, I'm not copy-pasting. I use the button for adding a scripture on the 'Files and details' tab when editing a sermon. If I use the 'Free Text' field the characters don't happen, but either way the scripture plugins don't work. For 17 January I used 'Free Text'.

So I think I have two separate bugs.

1) When adding scripture with the book/chapter/verse fields, scriptures appear like this:

Code:

2Matthew 9�

Adding a scripture with the 'Free Text' field works fine.

2) The scripture tags under Global options aren't working for me.
I have the fields set to

Code:

{bib=

and

Code:

}

and the plugin does nothing. If I add a scripture as 'Free Text' with the plugin tags included, then the plugin works. For example, for 10 May I did

Code:

{bib=Proverbs 1:7-8}

and it makes the verse into a link.

Digging into the code (disclaimer: I'm not a programmer), if I comment out line 609 of com_sermonspeaker/helpers/sermonspeaker.php (3rd line below), everything works as expected.

Code:

if ($text && $addTag)
{
	//$tags = self::$params->get('plugin_tag');

	// Due to a strange behavior of the menuitem (Registry?), I manually retrieve component params if "Use Global" was selected.
	if (!$tags)
	{
		$tags = JComponentHelper::getParams('com_sermonspeaker')->get('plugin_tag');
	}

	$text = $tags[0] . $text . $tags[1];
}

I think the two issues are related

Can you check the menu item parameters? Make sure you don't have any (invisible?) characters saved there for the plugin tags parameters. Best set it it "Use Global" if it's not already done so.
The code you commented would fetch that parameter from the menu item.

If that doesn't fix it, I would be interested what happens when you have more than one scripture saved for a single sermon. Does the strange symbol repeat after each scripture or is it there only once?
