Psalm 2/Admin

The "source of truth" for our data is the Discourse google sheets, which provide the actual Hebrew text we're using (including revocalizations and emendations) as well as the final version of the CBC (including all all punctuation).

Saved value for discourse sheet

Using the information from the Discourse Google sheet requires that its ID be included in the main Psalm page. Expand for instructions.

Prepare

To enable this, you must:

1. Open the Discourse Google sheet for this Psalm.
2. Add a new tab named "Public-Text" (the name isn't actually critical)
3. Use as the formula in the top-left cell: ='Discourse Master Sheet'!A:A (or whatever the appropriate code is to select the first column of the master sheet).
4. Drag the formula over to Column C and down as far as needed to get all the rows.
5. File > Share > Publish to Web
6. Instead of Entire Document, choose sheet Public-Text
7. Instead of Web Page, choose Tab-separated values.
8. Copy the link starting from after /d/e until before the &single, e.g. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vTeE2dD9gc2v4rckm23VfBCDdpuLirI3DOxLQE10a2UHWl3puz8wPPCJ2wgBftP4VYqadCPb2pWOUwi/pub?gid=168152279&single=true&output=tsv
9. Edit the base Psalm page, e.g. Psalm 19
10. Add the DiscourseSheet property like this:

{{ResourceSite
|DiscourseSheet=2PACX-1vTeE2dD9gc2v4rckm23VfBCDdpuLirI3DOxLQE10a2UHWl3puz8wPPCJ2wgBftP4VYqadCPb2pWOUwi/pub?gid=168152279
