RootsMagic _WebTag not showing


LornaHen

Recommended Posts

I have some WebTags in RootsMagic which don't appear in TNG

They are set to be output from RM in the gedcom I use to refresh my TNG database
As are some other RMagic specific tags/facts/events call them what you will.

They appear in the gedcom eg
1 _COLOR 9
1 _WEBTAG
2 NAME Chromosome Map for Lorna as at Aug 2014
2 URL http://surnames.lornahen.com/tng/dna/105164ChrMap.html
1 _WEBTAG
2 NAME Lorna's Living DNA results
2 URL https://my.livingdna.com/share/02fe9814-7d51-11e7-ab56-5254002fd1a4
1 EVEN http://surnames.lornahen.com/tng/dna/105164ChrMap.html
2 TYPE WebLink
2 DATE 11 MAR 2014
2 _SDATE 1000

(I'm experimenting on how best to link/show the data)

The import is set as accept data for all new Custom Event Types
The Replace in selected tree is set to
All current data

Custom Event types show
_WEBTAB as accept for Individual and Source, with     116 and 374 events associated

On my page
Personal information doesn't show any _WEBTAG
All info - ditto
 

The EVEN type WebLink appears just fine, the _COLOR shows, but not the _WEBTAG 

Where else do I look to make these appear?

The site is mostly private so none of this will be visible sorry.

I dont think you can have TWO #1 descriptors.

Its showing COLOR 9 because it finds that first

What on earth are #1 descriptors??

If it is output in the GEDCom I want the ability to show it in TNG!

The whole point of Webtags is that you can have as many of them as you want, so what you are saying is that it will only ever show the first for any one person?

No,

Just because one program (RootsMagic) outputs data into a gedcom, doesnt mean another program (TNG) will read it. 

That is why many people has to manipulate their data in the gedcoms.

 

You should write to Darrin and ask him how TNG would process the 2 lines with #1 descriptors as I think it will only handle one.

It's almost been five years. I have just started to try importing RootsMagic9 Webtags but seem to have the same issue as the original poster. In the last five years has anyone figured out the magic key to make this work?

Appreciate any help. Could be my settings. Or may need to do some post-GEDCOM processing to make it work. Thanks!
