First created in 2004, it has +steadily grown in features and maturity such that is it now a mainstay in +hundreds of churches around the world. + +It can hold a searchable database of song lyrics and Bible verses allowing them +to be projected instantly or saved in a pre-prepared order of service file. +Themes allow song backgrounds to be changed instantly. PowerPoint presentations, +videos and audio files can be run from within the program removing the need to +switch between different programs. Alert messages can be displayed so the +Nursery or Car park stewards can notify the congregation easily. Remote +capability allows the worship leader to change songs, or for alert messages to +be sent from anywhere on the network, even via a phone. + +Being free, this software can be installed on as many PC's as required, even on +the home PC's of worship leaders without additional cost. Compared to the +expensive site licenses or restrictions of commercial software we believe OpenLP +cannot be beaten for value. Still in active development by a growing team of +enthusiastic developers, features are being added all the time, meaning the +software just improves all the time. + +**When is the release date for OpenLP 2.0?** + +`It will be ready when it's ready!` We do not have fixed dates, but we have +set some [[Version_2_Milestones|targets for the releases]]. If you take part in +the [[Development:Getting_Started|development]], start to +[[Testing:Getting_Started|test OpenLP]] and [[Help:Contents|provide feedback]] +this will speed up the progress. + +**Can I help with OpenLP?** + +OpenLP is possible because of the commitment of individuals. If you would like +to help there are several things that you can get involved with. Please see: +`Contributing <http://openlp.org/en/documentation/introduction/contributing.html>`_ +for more information. + +**I use and like OpenLP and would like to tell others online. Where can I do +this?** + +A variety of places! + +* Are you on facebook? Then `become a fan <http://www.facebook.com/openlp>`_ +* Are you on twitter? Then `follow openlp <http://twitter.com/openlp>`_, and retweet the announcements. +* Give us a thumbs up on the `SourceForge project page <http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/openlp>`_ +* If you have a website or blog, then link to our site http://www.openlp.org with a few words saying what the software is and why you like it. +* Add a placemark on our `Worldwide Usage map <http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&source=embed&msa=0&msid=113314234297482809599.00047e88b1985e07ad495&ll=13.923404,0&spn=155.179835,316.054688&z=2>`_, so others in your locality can see someone close by is using it. +* If you are a member of any Christian Forums or websites, and their rules allow it, then perhaps review the software or ask others to review it. + +What operating systems will OpenLP 2.0 support? +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +OpenLP 2.0 is designed to be cross platform. Currently it has been known to run +on Windows (XP, Vista, 7), Linux (Ubuntu/Kubuntu, Fedora), FreeBSD & Mac OSX. +[[Help:Contents|Please let us know]] if you've successfully run it on something +else. + +**Which programming language is 2.0 developed in?** + +OpenLP 2.0 is written in `Python <http://www.python.org>`_ and uses the +`Qt4 toolkit <http://qt.nokia.com>`_. Both are cross-platform which allows the +software to run on different types of machine and so allow more people access to +free worship software. Python is one of the easier programming languages to +learn, so this helps us develop and find [[Bug|bugs]] quicker, and also allows +more developers to contribute with the project. + +**Which written languages does OpenLP support?** + +The beta now has support for a few languages which can be seen on the +:menuselection:`Settings -->Translate` menu. However some of these translations +are incomplete. If you would like to help complete or start to translate OpenLP +into your language then see the [[Translation:Getting_Started|Getting started page]]. + +**What is a beta release?** + +A beta release is a release which is almost feature complete and is fairly +stable. However there may still be a few [[Version_2_Features|features]] to +complete, and [[bugs]] we've not yet fixed. It is used by several people without +serious problems. However there is a small possibility that it could still crash +occasionally or do unexpected things. It is intended for those who want the +latest version, and are prepared to give the program a good test before using it +in a live situation to ensure they won't encounter any unexpected problems. If +you want to have a look at the latest beta release then just +`download it <http://openlp.org/en/download.html>`_. + +**Should I use this beta release at Church in my Sunday services?** + +As long as you have taken the time to run through your service a couple of times +on your target machine, the answer to this question is **yes**. The OpenLP +team believes that OpenLP 2.0 beta 1 is stable enough to be used in Sunday +services. As of beta 1, there are a good number of churches already using +version 2.0 successfully. The OpenLP team works hard to make sure each release +is solid, but cannot yet guarantee that everything works perfectly, or even +correctly. + +If however your congregation is made up of 85 year old women who snarl when you +suggest replacing the gas lamps with electric light bulbs and consider the pipe +organ too loud and modern, then we recommend sticking with version 1.2 for now. + +As of beta 1, version 1.2 of OpenLP is "put out to pasture" - no more +development or even bugfixes will be performed on that version. + +Upgrading +^^^^^^^^^ + +**Does 2.0 replace 1.2, or can they be run side by side?** + +It is perfectly safe to install 2.0 on a system with 1.2. Both versions are +installed in separate places, so you can still go back to 1.2. You can even run +them at the same time! + +2.0 stores its data in a separate folder to 1.2, so your data is perfectly safe, +and whatever you do in 2.0 will not damage 1.2 + +**Are 1.2 and 2.0 compatible?** + +No. However imports exist to transfer your data to the new version. + +**I have a computer that is quite old, should I upgrade?** + +2.0 does require significantly more resources than v1.2. Therefore if your +computer does not have much memory you may find 2.0 will struggle, `especially` +when changing between slides. + +**Why can I not see my 1.2 songs, bibles and themes in 2.0?** + +This is an beta release, which means it is not finished and one of the things we +haven't completely finished yet is importing 1.2 data automatically. We plan to +do this [[Version_2_Milestones#Version_1.9.6_.28beta_2.29|Version 1.9.6 (beta 2)]]. + +**How do I transfer my 1.2 song database?** + +In OpenLP v2, go to the :menuselection:`File --> Import --> Song` menu. +In the Wizard that appears, click Next and choose "openlp.org v1.x" from the +Format list. Click the search button on the Filename prompt, and at the bottom +of the dialog, copy the following into the File name prompt:: + + %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\openlp.org\Data\songs.olp + +`(This must be in the popup file chooser dialog. Don't enter it directly into +the wizard).` + +Click Open, then in the wizard just click Next and wait for the import to complete. + +**How do I transfer my 1.2 Bibles?** + +In OpenLP v2, go to the :menuselection:`File --> Import --> Bible` menu. +In the Wizard that appears, click Next and choose "openlp.org v1.x" from the +Format list. +Click the search button on the Filename prompt, and at the bottom of the dialog, +copy the following into the File name prompt:: + + %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\openlp.org\Data\Bibles + +`(This must be in the popup file chooser dialog. Don't enter it directly into +the wizard).` + +Choose the Bible, Click Open, then in the wizard just click Next, enter the +License details, and wait for the import to complete. + +**How do I transfer my 1.2 Themes?** + +In openlp.org v1, export each theme by selecting it in the Theme Manager, and +then clicking the picture of a blue folder with red arrow on the Theme Managers +toolbox. This theme file can then be imported into V2 using the +:menuselection:`File --> Import --> Theme` menu. + +**I can't get my 2.0 theme to look the same as 1.2** + +OpenLP 2.0 is a complete rewrite using a completely different programming +language so it would work on different types of system. There are differences in +how the old and new languages draw text on the screen, and therefore it is +unlikely you'll get an exact match. + +Using OpenLP +^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +**Is there a manual or any documentation for 2.0?** + +Some folks are working on a brand new manual for OpenLP 2.0. You can find the +latest version of this manual at http://manual.openlp.org. If you need help, +use the live chat feature or ask in the forums. If you would like to help write +the manual, please let us know - we are always happy for new volunteers to join +the team and contribute to the project. + +**I've started OpenLP, but I can't see the songs or bibles section in the Media Manager** + +When you installed OpenLP, the first time wizard would have asked which plugins +you wanted, and songs and bibles should have been selected. If for some reason +they were not, then you will need to activate them yourself. See +[[#How do I activate / deactivate a plugin?|How do I activate / deactivate a plugin]] +for instructions. + +**How do I activate / deactivate a plugin?** + +Plugins can be turned on and off from the Plugin List Screen. Select the plugin +you wish to start/stop and change it's status. You should not need to restart +OpenLP. + +**What are these plugins that I keep seeing mentioned?** + +The plugins allow OpenLP to be extend easily. A number have been written +(Songs, Bibles, Presentations) etc but it is possible for the application to be +extended with functionality only you require. If this is the case then go for +it but lets us know as we can help and it may be something someone else wants. + +**How do I enable PowerPoint/Impress/PowerPoint Viewer?** + +First of all ensure that the presentation plugin is enabled (see above). +Then to enable a presentation application, go to the `Settings` dialog, switch +to the `Presentations` tab and check one of the enabled checkboxes. OpenLP will +automatically detect which of the three you have installed, and enable the +appropriate checkbox(es). Check the applications you require, and then restart +OpenLP for the change to be detected. +Note, PowerPoint Viewer 2010 is not yet supported, use 2003 or 2007. + +See also [[OpenLP_2_Introduction_and_FAQ#I.27m_on_Windows_and_PowerPoint_is_ +installed.2C_but_it_doesn.27t_appear_as_an_option|I'm on Windows and PowerPoint +is installed, but it doesn't appear as an option]] +and [[#Why_is_there_no_presentations_plugin_available_on_OS_X.3F|Why is there no +presentations plugin available on OS X?]] + +**Why is there no presentations plugin available on OS X?** + +Currently the presentations plugin is not bundled with OpenLP on OS X. The +reason for that is that the OpenOffice.org version on Mac OS X does not contain +the (more exact: does only contain a broken) interoperability component (the so +called pyuno bridge) which could be used by OpenLP. As soon as the +interoperability component works on OS X we can re-enable the plugin and bundle +it. We are really sorry for that. + +**Is it possible to get Bible x? How?** + +The Bible plugin has a much improved `Import Wizard` which can import Bibles +from a variety of sources. The following sources are supported: + +* CSV (in the same format as `openlp.org 1.x <http://www.openlp.org/en/documentation/importing_exporting_data/bibles/importing_comma_delimited_files.html>`_) + +* OSIS (export from the `Sword Project <http://www.crosswire.org/sword/software/>`_ using the mod2osis tool) + + * After using the Sword software Media Manager to download the required bible. + + * From the command line (works on Windows and Linux):<br /><code>modernist <name> > name.osis</code><br />`Note the <name> is case sensitive on all environments and should be the name of your bible, e.g. ESV.` + + * The Bible import wizard will the read name.osis file and import your bible. + +* OpenSong + + * OpenSong have a good selection of Bibles on their `download page <http://www.opensong.org/d/downloads#bible_translations>`_ + +* Web Download + + * `Crosswalk <http://biblestudy.crosswalk.com/bibles/>`_ + + * `BibleGateway <http://www.biblegateway.com/versions/>`_ + +**Why do my Bible verses take a long time to load?** + +In order to better conform to copyright law, the Web Download Bibles are not +downloaded when you import them, but on the fly as you search for them. As a +result, the search takes a little longer if you need to download those +particular verses. Having said that, the Web Download Bibles cache downloaded +verses so that you don't need to download them again. + +**My Bible is on the Web Download sites, but my Church isn't on the internet. +What options do I have?** + +When you create and save a service, all the items in the service are saved with +it. That means any images, presentations, songs and media items are saved. This +is also true for bibles. What this means is you can create the service on your +home computer, insert a bible passage from the web, save it and then open the +service using your church computer and voila, the bible passage should be there! +Note this can also be done with songs, etc! + +(Advanced) Where do I find the configuration file? +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +**Linux, FreeBSD & PC-BSD** + +If your distribution supports the XDG standard, you'll find OpenLP's +configuration file in:: + + /home/<user>/.config/OpenLP/OpenLP.conf + +If that file and/or directory does not exist, look for:: + + /home/<user>/.openlp/openlp.conf + +**OS X** + +You'll find your configuration file here:: + + /Users/<user>/Library/Preferences/com.openlp.OpenLP.plist + /Users/<user>/Library/Preferences/org.openlp.OpenLP.plist + +**Windows** + +On Windows, OpenLP does not use a configuration file, it uses the Windows +registry. You can find the settings here:: + + HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\OpenLP\OpenLP + +Troubleshooting +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +**Something has gone wrong, what should I do to help get it fixed?** + +If you have found an error in the program (what we call a bug) you should report +this to us so that OpenLP can be improved. Before reporting any bugs please +first make sure that there isn't already a bug report about your problem: + +#. Check the `Launchpad bug list <https://bugs.launchpad.net/openlp>`_ +#. `OpenLP support System <http://www.support.openlp.org/projects/openlp>`_ +#.

A new log file is created +each time you start OpenLP so copy the file before you run the software a second +time. On Windows a Debug option is available in the start menu. On other systems, +you will need to run OpenLP from the command line, with the following +option: <code>-l debug</code>. Please note, that is a lowercase **L**. + +If you haven't been given a specific email address to send it to, then please do +not paste the log contents straight into a forum post. Instead, open the log +file in a text editor (such as notepad on Windows) and copy and paste the +contents into somewhere like `pastebin.com <http://pastebin.com>`_. Then give us +the link to the page that is created. + +**Windows** + +Find the OpenLP 2.0 folder in your Start menu. Choose the "OpenLP (Debug)" option. + +OpenLP will start up. Go to the :menuselection:`Tools --> Open Data Folder` menu +option, and an Explorer window will appear containing folders such as alerts, +bibles, custom etc. Keep this Explorer window open. + +Now repeat the steps you need to take in OpenLP to reproduce the problem you had, +and then close down OpenLP. + +In the Explorer window you left open, navigate up one level into the openlp +folder.

As for text over video, we have no solution for speeding these +up. Reducing the monitor resolution and avoiding shadows and outline text will +help. We are hoping a future release of the toolkit we are using (QtWebKit) will +help improve this, but there is no timeframe at present. + +Features +^^^^^^^^ + +**What new features will I find in v2?** + +Since v2 was a rewrite from the ground up, you won't find a great deal of new +features since initially we want to ensure all the v1.2 features are included. +However the developers have managed to sneak a few in. Take a look at the +[[Version 2 Features|Complete list]]. + +**Why hasn't popular feature request X been implemented?** + +We made a decision to first implement v1.2 features, before going wild on new +features. There are only a handful of developers working in their spare time.
