1. Download the new version of QuickFrame Standalone. [Download]
2. This is the tricky part. You will need to expand the QuickFrame_Standalone.zip file into a folder that does not have a space in its name. It is usually best to create this folder right on the :c\ drive. The path to this folder should look something like this. :c\quickframe.
3. Once you have the .zip file expanded into this new location you are now ready to start the QuickFrame Standalone server. Open the folder and click on the blue start icon. This will create a small blue square with a number in it in your tray.
4. Click the small blue square and then click “start UniServer” from the menu that pops up.
5. Wait for a minute as the server starts, it should open your Internet Browser and take you to the UniServer home page. Near the middle of the page there is a link to open QuickFrame.
6. QuickFrame will open and the username and password should already be filled in. Click the login button and you ready to chart!

Enjoy!

Creating an account

The first step in using this program is to create a user account. At this point anyone can sign up for an account simply by clicking on the “Need a new account?” link on the login page. After you enter all the requested information you will be given an account. Your new temporary password will be emailed to you.
You will be asked to change it the first time you log in to something that you can more easily remember.

Restoring a lost password

Click the link on the login page enter your account name and email address.
A new password will be mailed to you just like it was when you opened your account.

Starting a New Book

From the “Home” page simply select the book you wish to work on from the list and click the button below it.

The books you have already started are listed on the right.

To continue working on an existing book just click on its name and it will be reloaded so you can continue working.

Adding Paragraph Titles

When you start (or restart) a book the default mode is adding paragraph
titles.

The best practice is to enter ALL your paragraph titles first.
Then when you are sure they are correct begin to add your Segments and Breaks.

The best way to begin is to use the auto-fill button in the yellow bar below the editing window. This will add all the verse references you need and it will count your verses so you don’t have to. All you need to do then is add you actual titles.

(Remember that your verse refs are included in your title. The box labeled “verse ref” is used for your segment titles. This will be activated when you click to insert a segment. Ignore it for now.)

If you skip one or make a mistake you can insert, edit, or delete a title by clicking the edit icon to the left of the title.
This will open an editing window where you may choose what you would like to do.

Adding Segments, Sections, etc

When you are done adding your paragraph titles it is now time to start thinking about your breaks. To add any break whether it be Segment, Section, Division, or Book title follow the procedure below.

1. Click on the edit icon next to the paragraph title where you wish to add a break.
2. Find the type of break on the list in the window that pops up.
3. You will see that you can insert the break either above or below the point you have selected. Click either the “up” or “down” arrow to choose
   and add your title.
   • Segments require verse references since these will also be used as Vertical titles.
   • Book Titles should be added to the end of the list and usually done last.
   • If you have a long title for a break and a tiny break. You may click the footnote checkbox which will place the title in a footnote with a small marker in the actual box in your horizontal.
4. If you make a mistake your breaks can be edited just like paragraph titles. IF YOU PUT ONE IN THE WRONG PLACE it can be moved with the move buttons and edited.
5. IMPORTANT! If you do not have a book title your charts will not build. And If you do not have at least one segment there will be no vertical charts created.

Once you have finished these steps you are ready to move on to Building your Charts!

Building your Charts

When you have finished all your titles you are now ready to Build your charts. Please follow the steps below.

1. Check the total number of verses you have assigned with the total number of verses in the book. If you are off 1 or 2 no big deal. But if you are off more than a few you have made a mistake in counting the verses in your titles and probably need to go back and check them out. You may have also accidentally deleted one of your paragraphs. Small discrepancies are common due to the mid-verse paragraph splitting that is common in some books. This can cause you to count the same verse more than once. This is not serious. (If you used auto-populate verses will be counted for you already)
2. If all is well. Click one of the two buttons in the builder tool box. They each have descriptions on them if you hold your mouse over them. Basically one of them is for small books and the other is for medium to large books.
3. Your results should pop up in the right hand window. If not Contact me.
4. Check your results by clicking one of your charts. If you need to make adjustments to the fonts etc. Then do the following.

1. Select different fonts and sizes from the builder tool box and click the change button.
2. To see what the fonts look like click the font previewer button. You can change fonts on the fly by clicking on the links below the font examples.
3. IMPORTANT!!!!! If you change font SIZES you must click the change button at the bottom before they will take effect. If you have changed the font type with the previewer those changes are good to go as soon as you click them.
4. Click the proper build button and see if you like your new changes.

When you are happy with the results you are ready to either save or print your work.

Very small books

There are a couple of things that change if you are doing a very small book that only requires one vertical chart. These books may have a
division or maybe even sections. However to produce a vertical chart there are a couple things you must be aware of.

Only segments produce vertical charts.

Therefore when doing a small book you need to make one segment that encompasses the entire book and the title you give this segment will be your vertical chart title.

All books must have at least one segment to produce a vertical chart.

Printing and Saving charts for use

I would HIGHLY recommend opening all your charts in new tabs. This will make the next steps much nicer.

You may either print directly from your browser at this point or save your charts as images.

If possible I recommend that you save them as images and either paste them into a word proccessor or drawing program (I recommend the drawing program
that is part of OpenOffice.org it is free and works very well for charting.) You may also want to print or manipulate it with some other program designed to handle graphics.

Printing from Browsers

Printing from browsers is a little more error prone, gives you less control, and usually poorer quality results. But it does work, and
it produces acceptable charts. However it is often neccessary to adjust the height of the charts so that your browser will print it on one page.

Before printing

Check your charts with print preview if possible to see if they will all fit on one page.

Tip:
Get Firefox

You may also need to go into the printer settings in your browser and turn off the url and date printing “features” or you will have a lot extraneous
things printed on each chart. Similar to the kind of things you get printed at the top and bottom of the page when you print an email or story from the web.

Importing and Exporting your files

QuickFrame now has the ability to import and export files. This allows you to keep backup copies of your work on your own computer. It also allows
you to move your work to and from the main QuickFrame server to your own private QuickFrame server. This new personal server allows you to work on QuickFrame even in places with no reliable internet connection.

REMEMBER:

When you IMPORT files you will completely replace all the current files
with those in the files you are importing. So MAKE SURE that you
are importing the latest copies of your work or you will lose your latest
work.

Problems and Feedback

Since this is a new project and still under development. You have an
interesting opportunity to influence the way this program works.
I have produced a Feedback area on this site specifically designed to
allow you to report problems and give suggestions on how this program or
its documentation could be made more useful.

Please take the time to give your input here. It will be much appreciated.

Thank you,

Keep reading to learn what to do…

The best solution when you are not receiving your email at all is to use a throw away email account at a place like mailinator.com.

Simply make up a name like yourname@mailinator.com and put it in the space for your email address. Then go to mailinator.com and type in yourname (replace yourname with whatever you want) and your confirmation email should be there.

Hope that helps!

I have come up with basically 2 alternatives for those that are faced with this problem.

Stand Alone Versions of QuickFrame

Stand Alone versions of QuickFrame are basically little web servers all configured for running QuickFrame that you can download, unzip, and run on your computer. Once you have downloaded the package you do not need to use the Internet at all to create chart frames with QuickFrame. These packages are available for Mac and PC platforms.

Pros

• Your version of QuickFrame is self contained on your computer and you do not need an Internet connection.

Cons

• Your version of QuickFrame is self contained on your computer and if your computer fails you loose your data.

QuickFrame Virtual Server

This package is more for a school leader that would like to provide a local network setup of QuickFrame. This package includes a grading program and allows any kind of computer to connect to the local network and have access to QuickFrame and this also allows central backups to be made. This is a great way to set up a computer lab for your students to safely use QuickFrame even when a good high speed Internet connection is not possible or economical.

Where to Download

The main download page is located here.

Locate the package you need, download them, and unzip them.

Volunteers needed (SBS alumni??):

Although the coding is done – in order for the auto-population feature to work verse references and verse counts for every paragraph in the bible are going to need to be entered in. This is a very simple but highly repetitive job that I just can’t seem to correctly automate, so it has to be done the old fashioned way – by hand. Remember this is a free project if you have benefited by it in the past consider helping future students in this way.
Do you want to help?

If you would like to help please contact me from the Contact page of this site. Basically the job is filling out a form over and over again. with 3 simple pieces of info: Starting verse ref, ending verse ref, verse count for each paragraph in the ESV bible. There is a very good online version of this bible if you do not want to buy one just for this project. The process is quite streamlined and should bring back fond memories of doing paragraph titles for you SBS alumni out there.

Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated. Thanks you.

Changes for this version:

• New color scheme
• Improved new account security
• The ability to use multiple version of the bible (this was the big one)
• Updated Virtual QuickFrame Server with the new capabilities.

StudyWorx is the name I am tentatively considering since it is going to be a comprehensive tool for the Inductive study of the Bible. Essentially, my goal is to create an entire school environment. This includes the ability to complete all assignments in StudyWorx if desired (creating frames will still be possible), grading, staff/student communications, and printing to pdf for the final product. Essentially I want to provide an infrastructure for schools to sign up and run their entire school from StudyWorx. I also want to be able to run an open, full featured, Online, school for anyone that wants to study the Bible Inductively.

If you think StudyWorx is a particularly good or bad name, or if you have a better idea, please comment on this article below, or write me a quick note here.

Features:

{:> Online Basic required Information (Historical/literary Background)(New)

{:> Online paragraph titling and chart frames (like QuickFrame only better;)

{:> Complete Online Charting, not just frames. (New)

{:> Online Theme or Topical Summaries (New)

{:> Online Final applications (New)

{:> The ability to provide easy access to Online study materials and Bibles.

{:> The ability to create and run multiple “Schools” Online with independent staff and grading facilities for each school. (New)

{:> The ability for staff and students to communicate Online regarding their current work.(New)

{:> The ability for staff to communicate privately with the other staff of that Online school.(Expanded)

{:> Changing the name to StudyWorx to better reflect its new abilities?

If you have any suggestions or features that you would like, or a suggestion for a better name. Please comment on this post or write to me privately on the contact page.
