list of events in life of individual


omarquet

Recommended Posts

Hello to all,

I wonder if there is a mod that lists sequentially (chronologically) all events in the life of an individual from his birth to his death, including all the events he was part of (birth and death of children, all kind of events etc) 

Most online genealogy sites have such a presentation (Ancestry, Myheritage)
The Master genealogist had such a presentation and it was extremely helpfull

It could be an implementation of the timeline or a new "view" on the personnal information.

But maybe it allready exists as a MOD ? I searched but did not find it.

See: events list of Myheritage :

Click "Timeline" Tab

thank you Michel, but this only lists marriages and children, not events. And the format is not really usefull for research purposes. Other programs, like TMG , or Legacy, provide a full list of all events during the life of a person.

In addition to the date and event what other information would you like displayed eg Place, Notes, Description etc.

Hello Brett, and thank you for reacting

I think of a list of all events - bearing a date - linked to an individual during his life span

so: birth, marriage(s), death, al events, children's birth and death? Wife or husband  divorce  and Deat (if they happened during his life span) Like in Ancestry

And for each of these events, on one line, expandeable : Event Type; Date ; Place ; Detail; Source ID, Note ID.

Included I sent you a screen copy of how this looks like on the very much regretted The Master Genealogist.

Here I have added the mod that add children birth to the map.

While the Map events is a great start for Olivier to base his display on, unfortunately the Event Map add children mod has not been updated for TNG 14. It also does not include child deaths as he has suggested. I am looking into a solution for Olivier but it may be some time in development.

@omarquet, I suggest installing the Timeline Events Library which can be found here: 

https://tng.lythgoes.net/wiki/index.php/Timeline_Events_Library

Make sure you follow the instructions very carefully or it will not show correctly. The necessary code needs to be added to the mytngstyle.css for each template you plan on using. If all goes as it should, it will add over 400 events over the last 10 centuries. As important events happen, you can always add more (I just added the current Israeli/Hamas war earlier today). As an example of what it should look like, look here: Timeline: Albert Charles Bemlott: Coon White Family (ourfamilyroots.org).

Good luck!  🙂

Timeline Events Library

Alan

I am not sure if you are aware but there are also additional Timeline available from the TNG download site. They are under TNG Extras. They should work similar to the Events Library article.

Hello, the native TNG timeline is not at all what Olivier was asking for. I'm also looking for a simple, vertical, chronological list of all the events that concern the person, not external events. I've disabled the existing Timeline tab in getperson, as I find it impractical and unclear. It's a display that I personally can't understand, and which confuses me more than it informs me. I am looking for something else. Look at this one on Geneanet (only the beginning)

Hello Brett, I did not see your post, and so I did not react. Sorry for this. (And thank you for the response)

Hello Katryne. 

Geneanet shows indeed a perfect example of a simple chronological list of events in an individual's life. 
This should be a standard feature of TNG: most genealogy programs offer this, in one way or another.

Hello Katryne,

I was interested to read you had disabled the Timeline. I also find this tab very difficult to understand! Is it an easy change to disable it? I would be grateful to know if it is an easy change to make, if you have time. Thanks.

Adrian

Edit: I found this post which describes how to disable it.

https://tng.community/index.php?/forums/topic/8068-turning-off-timeline/#comment-40228

The code has changed slightly, but is still easily modified. Comment out the two lines containing "$timeline_url", currently lines 443 and 450. 

PS Sorry to go off-topic 😒

Hi all !

I wrote this mod in an attempt to meet your desires and Katryne took care of the design.

Once you've installed the mod and made your settings via the 'Mod options',

a new tab "Chronology" is accessible on the getperson.php page.

Let me know what you think...

Michel

Very nice Mod, Michael! 
This is what I was looking for.
Thank you so much.

 

In one specific case, the mod does not work, and I get the following error message:
Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: Illegal offset type in /home/marquet/www/tng/chronology.php:306 Stack trace: #0 /home/marquet/www/tng/chronology.php(94): collect_life_events(Array, 1) #1 {main} thrown in /home/marquet/www/tng/chronology.php on line 306

I really like the MOD Michel.  It is much more useful and readable than the Timeline built into TNG.

 

I will be using this on my website.   Now to pick colors!

I am wondering if the word to should be at as it seems to related to the place of the event.

You're right Brett.

The $text['to'] in French is adapted to the situation, but i see now that it is not the case

for English, nor Dutch...

there is no $string['at'] in TNG...

Will create à new $text[] string for this situation

Done for beta 7

How do I install and use the mod from Michel Kirsch?

Install as usual using Mod Manager. There are options available after install but to see the Mod in action view a person from your tree.

 A new Chronology tab is available.
