I installed 15.0.4 in 19 Jan and it worked fine and I could log in on admin_login.php. I had not tried to log in again until last week. I just now ran through the 15.0.4 installation again. In step 3 - I could log in and reset table structure. I logged out but I still cannot log back in.

Hi JEM, I have a tutorial on how to put a menu dropdown button on your main menu. I'm not sure if this is what you wanted, but you can see the tutorial here: https://genealogywebtemplates.com/tnghelp/tngaddtopmenu.html Here's what it looks like. You add your own menu items.

Let me have an email and I show you what I did Alan

I've discovered that the max file size was set at 50mb, hence the failure. This has been changed to 100mb. Thanks for your help in pointing me in the right direction

I'm not sure where in the header to place it and what would the code look like. John

Hi - I added an extra item "Step back" at the start of my header. Not too sure whether it remain compatible as I still use template 4 in TNG 10.1.3. The RED pages Alan

I'm using TNG 15 template 19. When it opens there are the following menu options: Home, Search, Logout, Find, Media, Info. Is there a way to add another option or is there a file that contains this information? Thanks

There usually is a limitation

Look for something like this in your .htaccess file either in the root of your website or in the TNG root: php_value upload_max_filesize 64M php_value post_max_size 64M

Well now....I have just compressed the file down to 5mb and it appears to be importing quite happily. Perhaps there really is a size restriction somewhere.

The file is 58mb, considerably smaller than it was 2 years ago. There is no ISP upload size limit; where do I look for .htaccess, please?

How large is your GEDCOM file? Is there a restriction to the max upload size in either the settings from your ISP or in .htaccess?

Getting the tab was easy. I changed genlib.php by putting two lines in. $historie_auto_url = getURL( "history_auto", 1 ); and $choices .= doMenuItem( $nexttab++, $historie_auto_url . "personID=$entityID&tree=$tree" , "ind", $text['Biografie'], $currpage, "Biography" );. The tab works well. Opens my the php History_auto.php. It keeps the style but I cannot make it to keep the tabs. Greetings Ton

I am struggling to import my latest gedcom file to my site, attagab.co.uk/tng. I am an irregular user of TNG and have done nothing with it since first setting it up in 2024. I remain on V.14.0.4 I have an updated gedcom file (created from Family Historian), have selected the options as shown below and clicked on the import data button After 4 hours, nothing has happened. I’m obviously doing something wrong, but I cannot see what. Can you help?

Hello BET 1 JUL 1867 AND 30 SEP 1867 See the TNG Wiki there : https://tng.lythgoes.net/wiki/index.php/Dates

I have several cases thrown up by this report. Example. Birth 03.01.1867. Died Q3 1867. How do members get round this without loosing the reference to the quarter ian

Btw this is the SQL, Ai suggested for a sigle person run, that loops , I cant see why, but maybe a member can SELECT g.firstname AS 'Grandparent', g.personID AS 'GP_ID', p.firstname AS 'Parent (Child of GP)', p.personID AS 'Parent_ID', c.firstname AS 'Grandchild', c.birthdate AS 'Grandchild Birth', c.personID AS 'Grandchild_ID' FROM tng_people AS g /* Join 1: Find the Grandfather's children */ JOIN tng_families AS f1 ON (g.personID = f1.husband OR g.personID = f1.wife) JOIN tng_people AS p ON (f1.familyID = p.famc) /* Join 2: Find the Grandchildren */ JOIN tng_families AS f2 ON (p.personID = f2.husband OR p.personID = f2.wife) JOIN tng_people AS c ON (f2.familyID = c.famc) /* Narrow the focus to one specific ID to prevent looping */ WHERE g.personID = 'I6341' ORDER BY p.firstname, c.birthdate;

I am running on the Guild of One Name studies servers so suspect if the code times out for me. then the "join' and nested queries as you describe are likely not to run. Coupled with front end screening from Cloudflare its very unlikely, it seems to get this to work for me. Easier to just eyeball the standard family reports and manually copy details.

Oh that’s really interesting. Good to know the solution and yes, I can confirm I see all pins now!

Philip - FYI - it was an issue with Simply Hosting bot blocking captcha script. It was blocking my browser from fetching external assets from Google. All fixed now. Thanks Morgan

The SQL for this would be a UNION of 2 (sons, daughters) triple nested queries - 2 because TNG has a "gendered" families table (husband/wife vs. person/spouse). My server timed out even with 1 starting person on 1 gender (sons). Maybe you or someone else could try on a "bigger" server than mine (see below). Anyway, this is why TNG pages are built by running the SQL to get the target person(s), e.g. people with a war event, and then looping through those people as many times as there are descendants with SQL, putting the results in a PHP array, and iterating... What you need is a new PHP page that does this, or heavily modifying an existing one. I have a "Cousins" report that iterates to gather cousins (choose 1C, 2C, 3C, 4C and 0-4 times removed) - I could see if I can modify this for 0C2R (grandkids), unless someone else comes up with something better... Here's that awful SQL mentioned above: SELECT c2.personID FROM tng_children c2 WHERE c2.familyID IN ( SELECT f2.familyID FROM tng_families f2 INNER JOIN tng_people p2 ON p2.personID = f2.husband WHERE p2.personID IN ( SELECT c.personID FROM tng_children c WHERE familyID IN ( SELECT f.familyID FROM tng_people p INNER JOIN tng_families f ON p.personID = f.husband WHERE p.personID = 'I1' ) ) ) GOGGS

I have tried using AI to build a SQL report that selects only grandchildren of a family that have a specific event (in my case served in WW1 or WW2). AI fails with the it seems the join logic because the reports loop time out. I tried Gemini and Copilot for this . My question is has anybody seen or created a report similar? I dont mind there being one manual input ie id# of Grandfather ( this I think would reduce interations, and prevent a report that produces all such situations.) My pupose for the above is to produce a nice TNG generated table that I can use in Wordpress.

Are you sure you uploaded all the updated files and ran the "Update the database structure" and also cleared the cache?

The question marks are a sign of a broken or missing image. I just sat at an old Mac using Firefox and curiously, every time I reloaded the page, different markers displayed or didn’t. So one time I got 1,2,? And another time I got ?,2,3…so I don’t quite get what that signifies. A cache issue? A connectivity issue (as the images are pulled from google each time)…something else?

Thanks Roger - notice the question mark boxes for Perry County, AR and Moore County, NC. I used to see those pins as well.
