I've just been through a process that might be similar in some ways, and I learned some lessons.
I don't think the
module settings are related to the issue at all, but
which component parameters are in effect can be tricky. Do you want to have a menu item for the component, or do you want to make all the users come through the module (like me)?
What I learned: If a menu item exists that points to the Studies List (even if that menu item is disabled or even deleted but still in the Menu Trash) the parameters of that menu item will be used to configure the view you see, even if you are coming to it from the link at the bottom of the module. If there are multiple menu items in existence with different parameter settings, I have no idea which one would be used by the link at the bottom of the module, so that is risky, and may be what is happening to you. If you want the component parameters to be in effect for the link at the bottom of the module (which is most logical, rather than some unseen menu item), do one of these two:
- Have absolutely no menu items, not even in the Menu Trash.
- Have only one menu item that you make from scratch, and do not touch any of the component parameters, so that they are all "Use Global".
Then make sure the settings you want, like the player, are set up in Components -> Bible Study ->Studies, clicking on the Parameters icon and setting up the settings in the lightbox that appears. That should work.
