Jens K.R. Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 Hi Forum,New to the Forum and TNG so please be patient with me Bought TNG 3 days ago and already got it set up running beautifully online except one thing!My setup is Legacy (7.5) on Windows PC where all editing is done and then plan on regular exports via gedcom to online TNG where no editing will take place.I've go 5K individuals in Legacy and on most of them I got at least 1 picture of a source (often a page from a church-book), and on many of the individuals I got several pictures of sources.My problem is that when I do an update (Legacy -> GEDCOM -> TNG) then I Would of course like TNG to be able to display the pictures of these source but that doesn't happen.I've no problems with "standard" photos of individuals - path is setup correct and I've of course triple-checked that all my pictures (regardless of belonging to an individual or a source) is FTP'ed to the online TNG site.My guess is that it has something to do with how the picture of the source is tagged in the gedcom file, but I can't figure out how to deal with that?Below is 2 snippets from the same gedcom file - the first of a picture on an individual which displays nicely online after being imported to TNG. The second snippet is from a picture of source registered on the same individual in Legacy:1 OBJE2 FORM jpg2 FILE e:\Data\Slaegt\photos\RIN 01201-01300\RIN 01205 - Karen Marie Mogensen\RIN01205 - Karen Marie Mogensen.jpg2 TITL Karen Marie Mogensen2 _SCBK Y2 _PRIM Y2 _TYPE PHOTO3 OBJE4 FORM jpg4 FILE e:\Data\Slaegt\documents\RIN 01201-01300\RIN 01205 - Karen Marie Mogensen\Kirkebog - Randers Amt - Galten Herred - Voldum 1928-1946 - 0163a-DK - Karen Marie Mogensen.jpg4 TITL Begravet4 _DATE 12-4-19344 _SCBK Y4 _PRIM Y4 _TYPE PHOTOI think (but is not sure at all) that the my problem is laying somewhere among those lines in the gedcom, and of course I notice the difference in "1 OBJE" / "3 OBJE" and also on the number 2 or 4 at the start of each line, but I'm lost at how to deal with this.Maybe someone else also uses Legacy (and registers pictures of sources in there as well) and have TNG set up to use/display these - if so I would be glad for any hints that could lead me to getting my sources displayed online ???/Jens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victor Fansler Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 I seem to have a similar issue. We used to have all of our photos in one folder in Legacy and on TNG, but we ran into an issue where the "Photos" folder has too many items in it and when listing its contents, times out. We were told by our Host provider (G0daddy) that we need to separate the files in sub folders. When we do that the GED com is exported correctly, but TNG still looks in the one folder. So, I ask a simiar question; how can we have photos in different subfolders, without manually making the changes in TNG? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if Legacy has a tool that would do this in one hit for all your images or not (Reunion for Macintosh can track images and keep them linked if you move them around in the folder, and even if you rename them).Once Legacy knows where all the images are now stored, create a new GEDCOM of your entire file.In TNG you'd need to delete all Media items, and then import the GEDCOM file using the Replace All setting.Roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jens K.R. Posted January 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 Subfolders is NOT the issue here. I have several subfolders in my "photos" folder and all the pictures of/belonging to individuals are displayed perfectly - I just followed this guide to set that up: http://tng.lythgoes.net/wiki/index.php?title=Media_-_Import My problem is that I would like to have the pictures of the sources registered in Legacy to show up in TNG !!!/Jens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jens K.R. Posted January 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Hmmm ..... Maybe I'm the only one wanting to display the pictures of sources?Is there anyone out there using Legacy with the same problem, or how did You solve this?/Jens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jens K.R. Posted January 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Hi Jay,yes, I have the pictures attached to the source records in Legacy (and they'r eavailable online with the correct path as well)!Can You elaborate on how a tag looks in Your gedcom for at picture of a sourceCould this be something regarding to what standard TNG template I've used for the layout of my site?I've tried several of these, and now I'm using the standard template no. 5 which i think looks nice, but looking at Your site I also notice another issue ..... the data for census is not showing up at all on my site. Do I have to do something in TNG to setup this - or is it maybe behaving this way because I entered the census' the "wrong way" in Legacy ?/Jens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was of German nativity, born in Bossum, K3 CONC ingdom of Hanover, August 3, 1843, the son of Arendt H. an3 CONC d Anna Meyer, and when but three years old was brought to A3 CONC merica by his parents. The journey across the Atlantic wa3 CONC s made in a small sailing vessel and required three months3 CONC , but they finally sighted land and came to Milwaukee by wa3 CONC y of the Great Lakes. Shortly thereafter they removed to th3 CONC e town of Newton in Manitowoc county and there settled o3 CONC n a wild and unbroken tract of land. Henry W. Meyer grew t3 CONC o man's estate on the old homestead and experienced all th3 CONC e trials and hardships incident to pioneer life. His ambiti3 CONC on rose beyond the farm, however, and he was sent to publi3 CONC c and private schools in Manitowoc and to Concordia College3 CONC , Fort Wayne, Indiana, from which latter institution he gra3 CONC duated in 1862. For four years he taught in the district sc3 CONC hools of Manitowoc county, then in Whitewater, Wisconsin, a3 CONC nd in 1869 came to Appleton and here for two years taugh3 CONC t a private school for the Schul-Verein. In 1870 he acquire3 CONC d a half interest in the "Volksfreund," and shortly afterwa3 CONC rds became sole owner. This publication at that time had bu3 CONC t a few hundred subscribers, but through the untiring effor3 CONC ts of Meyer, who was editor, pressman and solicitor, the ci3 CONC rculation increased rapidly until it was not only one of th3 CONC e most widely circulated but also one of the most influenti3 CONC al papers in the state, and is still regarded as such. Mr M3 CONC eyer always took a keen interest and part in public affair3 CONC s of importance, but steadfastly refused to hold office tho3 CONC ugh many such were offered him and urged upon him. He prefe3 CONC rred to work for the people through the medium of the Volks3 CONC freund which he regarded as his life's work. On November 173 CONC , 1872, he was united in marriage with Miss Wilhelmine Harb3 CONC eck, and to them these children were born: August H., secre3 CONC tary and manager of the Langstadt-Meyer Construction & Supp3 CONC ly Company, of Appleton; Richard J., associated with the ma3 CONC nagement of the Volksfreund; William T., assistant cashie3 CONC r of the Langlade National Bank of Antigo, Wisconsin; Henr3 CONC y W., Jr., associated with the Langstadt-Meyer Constructio3 CONC n & Supply Company; and Mrs. Julchen Meyer- Seeger. The sud3 CONC den death of the latter, the only daughter, in February, 193 CONC 10, was a fatal shock to Mr. Meyer, and he died as he had l3 CONC ived, an honored and respected man. He was buried at Rivers3 CONC ide Cemetery, Appleton, on Monday, September 4, 1911. Mr. M3 CONC eyer was a member of the, Masonic fraternity, the Modern Wo3 CONC odmen of America, Odd Fellows and other social and benevole3 CONC nt organizations. His widow survives him and resides in App3 CONC leton.2 OBJE3 FORM pdf3 FILE C:\genealogy\biographies\z_Bio_Meyer_Henry_William.pdf3 TITL Meyer, Henry William3 NOTE Biography from History of Outagamie County, Wisconsin; 1911.3 _SCBK Y3 _PRIM Y3 _TYPE C:\genealogy\biographies\z_Bio_Meyer_Henry_William.pdf1 CHAN2 DATE 11 Jul 20123 TIME 13:181 FAMS @F38422@0 @I166239@ INDI-----------------------------------------------------------------then here is the detail for the source---------------------------------------0 @S844@ SOUR1 ABBR H.

bsl20b50 Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 It sounds like the issue is not that you want the image to show up with the source, but rather the citation. Unfortunately, TNG does not support showing images with citations. I have been using a workaround for this. To display images in source citations, I use a snippet of HTML within the source detail notes (added in Legacy) which uses an iframe to display the picture. You can see an example of it here: http://www.ourfamilyhistories.org/getperso...483&tree=00.I hope this helps.Regards,Bryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
