Hanne B. Stegemüller Posted January 16, 2022 Report Share Posted January 16, 2022 Solved: Issue with missing date pr. cite/citation was an issue with export from Legacy 9. I need a little bit of assistance with two topics: I have not changed my "recipe" (I hereby mean settings 😎) of how to import GEDCOM-files, but something has changed anyway: 1. usually the date when I had last worked on an individual was shown beside each source in the lower part of an individuals page. I myself like to see if it is old data or recently found data, that I find, and of course I like to show this information to my visitors as well. But suddenly they have "disappeared". I.e. this guy: Axel Simon Andersen Marienlund: https://tng.stegemueller.dk/getperson.php?personID=I402&tree=HBS has this information in the GEDCOM but it is not visible in TNG: 1 CHAN 2 DATE 16 Jan. 2022 3 TIME 21:02 Can anyone tell me what I do wrong? 2. The same person has these occupations in the GEDCOM, but they are not visible in TNG: 1 OCCU Kunstmaler 2 DATE Mar. 1915 2 PLAC Anna Sogn, Sokkelund Herred, Københavns Amt, Denmark 2 NOTE Ågade hører til enten Anna Sogn eller Brorsons Sogn i 1915 2 SOUR @S246@ 3 PAGE København amt, Sokkelund, Vartov Hospitals Menighed, 1913-1 4 CONC 935, KM, Fødte, Konfirmerede, Viede, Døde - opslag: 79 af 1 4 CONC 64 opslag 3 QUAY 4 1 OCCU Tegnelærer og kunstmaler 2 DATE Apr. 1947 2 PLAC Johannes Døbers Sogn, Sokkelund Herred, Københavns Amt, Denmark 2 SOUR @S246@ 3 PAGE København amt, Sokkelund, Johannes Døber, 1941-1961, KM, Dø 4 CONC de - opslag: 44 af 305 opslag 3 QUAY 4 I've tried to analyse what is going on about the occupations - and I'll show some examples, because I can't find the logic in this: Myself: https://tng.stegemueller.dk/getperson.php?personID=I1&tree=HBS: No occupations in TNG. But GEDCOM has these: 1 OCCU Fuldmægtig 2 DATE Fra Jun. 1990 til 1995 1 OCCU Specialkonsulent, chefkonsulent, projektleder og souschef i staten 2 DATE Fra 1995 til 2013 2 PLAC København My father: https://tng.stegemueller.dk/getperson.php?personID=I630&tree=HBS Occupation is shown in TNG, and GEDCOM has this: 1 OCCU Driftsleder i tekstilindustrien My fathers father: https://tng.stegemueller.dk/getperson.php?personID=I851&tree=HBS No occupations in TNG. But GEDCOM has this: 1 OCCU Driftsleder hos a/s Chr. Juncher Note: And just to make sure: all my eventtypes are marked with "Accept" "On import". And I've double checked in phpMyAdmin where the all have "1" in the "Keep"-field. If any one can see which mistake(s) I make, I'll be glad. I'm pretty sure the issue(s) is not only related to these two tags - but I can't prove it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanne B. Stegemüller Posted January 21, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 Hi all I wonder if I've done something wrong with this post (i.e. description to bad, language to bad), the question is very difficuelt or if there are other reasons why I get no answers. Normally answers run in quickly. Kindest regards, Hanne, Denmark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Roy Posted January 21, 2022 Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 Sorry, in a bit of a rush tonight...but for occupation...check that you have the custom event "occu" set to be displayed.... https://tng.lythgoes.net/wiki/index.php/TNG_Events_and_Event_Types Here's my settings... When importing the GEDCOM file, take a look at this page and the section on custom events... https://tng.lythgoes.net/wiki/index.php/Import_Data My entire site is completely replaced each time I do a GEDCOM import (I'm the only person maintaining it and doing most of the work in Reunion...the site is basically just for family to view) so I always choose the setting "Accept data for all new Custom Event Types" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanne B. Stegemüller Posted January 21, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 Don't feel sorry Philip Roy. I am the one to apologize! Thanks for your reply. I'll check your suggestions a bit later and return with a reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanne B. Stegemüller Posted January 21, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 Hello everybody I tried to replace all data as suggested by Philip Roy. It did not change anything at all. Normally I only add new data and media, because else I have to geo place (with the wonderful MOD) 39 empty places with -1 again and again. But with this little exercise I learned a bit of SQL and I'm so proud of myself that I MUST tell you about this 😎 that works like a charm: UPDATE tng_places SET placelevel = '-1' WHERE longitude = ' ' AND latitude = ' ' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Roy Posted January 21, 2022 Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 Hold on...I think you're trying to do something quite different to what I thought you were asking. I was simply offering guidance on how to get a person's occupation displayed on their page. But when I went to this page (like you suggested)... https://tng.stegemueller.dk/getperson.php?personID=I1&tree=HBS And searched for "Specialkonsulent"...the occupation is showing up on the map? Is that what you want? And why? I'm confused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right the occupations are shown to right of the map when you look at this person (me); https://tng.stegemueller.dk/getperson.php?personID=I1&tree=HBS But normally they should be displayed as a field in the upper part of an individual like it is here on my father: https://tng.stegemueller.dk/getperson.php?personID=I630&tree=HBS where this is shown "Occupation" "Driftsleder i tekstilindustrien" right below his graduation. And that is how I would like it displayed on all individuals. And I can't figure out why it is correct on some individuals and wrong on other individuals. My settings should be correct - see screenshot. And when I import the GEDCOM-file, I always do like you do: "Accept data for all new Custom Event Types" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanne B. Stegemüller Posted January 22, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2022 Hurray - now the occupations are shown! I think I had made a mistake with some MODs. Now I only have the problem with the date, that should be displayed with each source, so it can be seen, when I last edited that source.

Philip Roy Posted January 22, 2022 Report Share Posted January 22, 2022 1. Yay! 2. I can't answer...I don't do any editing in TNG...it's all in Reunion and then the entire GEDCOM is imported each time I want to update. But someone might be able to answer.

Hi Philip It is okay you can not answer. I hope somebody else passes by and see this post. Just to clarify: I also don't edit in TNG. I base all data on imports from a GEDCOM-file created by Legacy, and Legacy has the date for when changes to a source were made (each transcription), and this date used to be displayed in TNG.

RickM Posted January 23, 2022 Report Share Posted January 23, 2022 Hi Hanne, I'm a bit confused myself.. I have just been and checked the two links you gave in your initial post. I see both Occupations AND Date last modified.. I might have missed something in translation as well <smile> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanne B. Stegemüller Posted January 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2022 (edited) Hi Rick I do agree what your arrows show! What I miss is the date that was shown beside each source. I am sorry I am not good a drawing with GIMP, but the date used to be displayed in connection with/right after Reliability. Edited January 24th, 11:37 AM: It should be called "shown beside each cite/citation" (I don't know the correct English term.) This told visitors when I have last been editing this transcription or whatever it is. I hope the image can explain what I have not been able to explain with words: Edited January 24, 2022 by Hanne Clearifing: Not "beside sources", but "beside citations" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickM Posted January 23, 2022 Report Share Posted January 23, 2022 (edited) This is something I have not noticed at all myself.. I don't have a lot of sources.. Bit lazy really.. I know I should and will have to start sorting them out.. I will see if i can find someone who I have added sources etc to and check if I see a date beside it.. Having had a look, I don't see a date for last made changes.. Edited January 23, 2022 by RickM Added some extra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philip Roy Posted January 23, 2022 Report Share Posted January 23, 2022 I'm not sure TNG even does this? I just tried adding a fake source to my test TNG site and there is no display of any time/date for when it was modified....so this does sound like an enhancement you are after.

Good morning (here it is 11:02 am). Sorry for the late reply, but I was busy with the panic about blank page, mods, sleep and so on... Finally I learned how to multi quote 😎 RickM: I have sources on 95 percent of my data. Philip Roy: I am 150 % sure that this information was shown in that place. I don't think I "invented" something. And the text was nicely present in both English, Danish and German. I wish I could prove it. I have checked in Legacy that I do not suddenly exclude data, that could be the missing data. I use the same list of codes with every export. On the other hand I can only find the GEDCOM-code "CHAN" i Legacy, and when I search the latest GEDCOM-file, I only find CHAN once per individual, and that is not in connection with sources. But here it finally comes: When I check in phpMyAdmin in the table "tng_citations" there are fields called "citedate" and "citedatetr" (for timestamp) All "citedate" are all empty, and then TNG has nothing to show - of course; but I think that should convince you, it has been there. Really strange. This must all together mean Legacy does not export them (any more). Strange. But logic must be: I make some mistake in Legacy? Do you agree?

Philip Roy Posted January 24, 2022 Report Share Posted January 24, 2022 You’ll have to contact Darrin, but I suspect you are confusing two different things. For citations, dates are important… https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/Cite_Your_Sources_(Source_Footnotes) ..and in my quick test, I was able to add a date to a citation added in TNG…but it didn’t show up on a persons page…it only showed up when you went and had a look at the citation. I think you are thinking that this date field for a citation is like a “Last update on” field…and I’ve convinced myself, that’s not how those date fields work. For example, I added the citation with the date 2000…and it displayed it. I think you are expecting it to automatically refer to when you added or update the citation (24 Jan 2022 as I type)…and I don’t think it does that. If those fields are empty, I suspect you aren’t adding a citation date in Legacy…you are expecting it to be automatic…and that’s actually bad practice re a citation. Thats my guess…Again, I think Darrin is the best person to ask next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Danish term "Udarb. dato" followed by a date, (I've tried to underline it) is what Legacy adds automatically each time I change/make a citation. "Udarb dato" in Danish is what you mention "Last update" refering to the citation. ../Hanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I think it is a long time since Legacy was updated. I do not remember when but I think maybe one year ago It is a splendid idea to look in old GEDCOMs - I also keep them. I have 53 at the moment. 😎 I am so afraid of loosing data. The oldest is from 2021-06-13. I'll take a look at that. Thanks for your reply.

Hanne B. Stegemüller Posted January 27, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2022 I am happy. My dates pr. cite/citation are back! It was not something I dreamt (about). I think it is a Legacy enhancement and not a GEDCOM-code, because in Legacy the are two export steps: Select export to GEDCOM 5.5. Select export as a Legacy-file (I assume it should be interpreted: "GEDCOM coming from Legacy"). I include two screenshots showing the dates: Thanks for all your kind help and inspiration!
