Organize Dates


Kenn

Recommended Posts

I need to organize my notes by date. First, is there already a way to do this? I posted several notes as events, but then they are not displayed on the individual's record. This doesn't make sense. It allow me to enter census data as an event then it is not displayed? What am I missing? If there is no other way I could add a date field to tng_xnotes then edit

1. addnote.php

2. gedimport.php

Am I missing anything?

Kenn,

Do you have a URL to a person where you added notes and it is not displayed? What option do you have in Admin >> Setup >> General Settings >> Miscellaneous for

Kenn,

Following reply added based on your PM:

I converted several notes to events thinking I was organizing this information by date. Now, however, these events are not displayed on the page with the individual's information. Is there already a way to do this without writing code?

For example, I had census information in notes and converted them to events. Now, how do I access that info?

Again a URL to a person where you entered a Census event might help provide a better feel for what is going on. Are the event types that you added set to Accept so that they will be displayed by TNG. If you added the events through a gedcom import, then you also need to do a 2nd import to import the data.

Completed. Added date field to tng_xnotes Edited several php files. Now, my notes are in chronological order.

Kenn,

Hope you are keeping good notes on all the changes you are making to TNG, since you will need to redo those changes. I mention this since I had not kept good notes on my first install.

Gotcha. How about this? www.treeofmonkeys.org I'll leave the script open to the public and secure the modification code so you can look at it. Code modification notes are written as a ticket request for support.


$query = "CREATE TABLE $tableCode(
  keyid int unsigned auto_increment primary key,
    date_of_request date,
    subject varchar(255),
    urgency int unsigned,
    category int unsigned,
    script varchar(255),
    problem text,
    response text,
    date_closed date,
    programmerId int unsigned,
    FOREIGN KEY (programmerId) REFERENCES $tableProgrammers(keyid) )";

Kenn, could this be easily adapted for use as research notes with links to individuals? I know there are notes already in TNG but that's not what I'm looking for. I'd like to be able to maintain a log of the who, what, when and where involved in researching and the 'log' is viewable to registered members of the site.

Thanks,

Carol

Try this. A tab has been added to getperson.php While you are looking at an individual's record click on JOURNAL and the individual's personID and tree will be passed to the entry form. This is experimental so share your ideas.

For anyone wanting a Research Log, Kenn has created a great script that's easy to install and use. He sent me the files, I uploaded them and installed in a few minutes. I've tested it and it interfaces nicely with TNG.
