jasenick Posted October 1, 2021 Report Share Posted October 1, 2021 Hello! I'm considering getting TNG and using Wordpress to host it. Before I proceed, I have a question. My grandparents are from two different towns in Southern Italy. Over the past 25 years, I've amassed a large database of families from both towns. I would like to make a separate TNG page for each but under one website. Do I need to purchase two TNGs, or can I use one for both pages? Also, would it be possible to set up a login page for each for privacy reasons? Thanks! Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theKiwi Posted October 1, 2021 Report Share Posted October 1, 2021 There are a couple of ways you could achieve this separateness... 1 - put everything into a single database, but have two trees in that database - one for each data set. Advantages of this include a single search to search both trees 2 - set up two separate databases, and have each one either in a sub-directory - so Genealogy/Database1 Genealogy/Database2 3 - use subdomains on your site, so database1.yoursite.com database2.yoursite.com Either of 2 and 3 you can do with a single TNG licence. My suggestion would be to use a single site and database, and put the two datasets into different trees on your site - this means you're only maintaining 1 TNG site - options 2 and 3 means you're maintaining two sites.

Rob Severijns Posted October 2, 2021 Report Share Posted October 2, 2021 Jason, I've tried both option 2 & 3 too. Only downside for me was the fact that I couldn't be logged in, in both databases at the same time. I was logged out of database 1 at the moment I logged in in database 2 This was due to restrictions from my ISP that doesn't allow using multiple clusters. In the end I went for option 1 Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Severijns Posted October 2, 2021 Report Share Posted October 2, 2021 Jason, Asssigning user-access to only one of the two trees in the user menu should do the trick of seeing data of just one tree. It doesn't require a seperate login. I don't know how to force a login for each seperate tree. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif Sweden Posted October 2, 2021 Report Share Posted October 2, 2021 Hello Jason, I use option 1 above and have 10 trees in the same database. It works fine. I have also installed a MOD called Each Tree Its Template so it is easy to see which tree you are seeing or working in. You can look at it as visitor at "www.lein.se/familjenjohnson" if you like (you can not see living people). All trees are in Swedish but you get a hint how it works.
