  1. Hello! I'm looking for a bit of guidance on what are the recommended Mods to install. Is there some kind of best practice list of Mods all TNG sites should in stall? I'm guessing there are various mods around usability, informative, security, etc that are recommended? Can anyone provide a recommended list? I only have 3 mods installed 1)Gedcom Converter, 2) OpenStreetMap & 3) Add Cloud of Names. Oh and my TNG site is upgraded to v14. Thank you in advance! https://www.perchstrohancestors.com Regards, Ted
  2. Simple SEO has been around for over 7 years now, and in that time a lot has changed in TNG, the Mod Manager, and PHP. The experience of moving from TNG 13 to TNG 14 has demonstrated that some of the Mod coding approaches I used when Simple SEO was introduced are no longer sustainable. Furthermore, mod conflicts are getting more and more difficult to solve or work around. Accordingly, I've decided that Simple SEO needs a 'clean' re-implementation, and I'm going to start that sooner rather than later to try and get a sustainable package prepared before the next TNG update. With that in mind, I'd like to solicit feature and language suggestions for V8, the next release. If you're not yet using TNG 14...don't worry. I will back-port V8 to TNG 13 and perhaps to TNG 12. Keep in mind, though, that the original purpose of Simple SEO was to make HTML header changes and page simplifications (titles, sub-headers, ...) that improve search-engine optimization. So I'll be looking at suggestions with that in mind. Suggestions for additional language localization can be anything you like. (Oh...and...I don't have any ideas regarding how to improve SEO for newly "AI enabled" engines like Bing, so don't ask. :- ) I was a cybersecurity guy in my career not a artificial intelligence guy.) All suggestions are appreciated! Thanks, Bill Herndon Lindell-Herndon Genealogy
  3. TNG is not communicating with your database. No tables were created. Leave it to me to get snagged on this problem! I beat on this for several hours and discovered that my database password was hosing me for the connection. I used this computer generated password: "5$svP@YD5xKm". This portion of the pw was causing the problem in the config.php file: $svP. It was being interpreted as a command, and not part of the password. I would've thought that the interpreter would have ignored this as a command since it was in quotes. I caught this after several file reviews when I noticed the editor had displayed the $svp portion in the same color format as the PHP commands. Go figure.....
  4. I noticed that I have NEVER gotten any emails from new users/registers but the new users showed up inside TNG under USERS Category (*Review box). Is something wrong with my site? Thank you, Marla

    Public Access Control

    Hello all, I would like to be able to use the modification "Public Access Control" by Erik Hoppe (https://tng.lythgoes.net/wiki/index.php/Public_Access_Control) also with version 14. Erik informed me that he has stopped working on and with TNG for health reasons. In the past other developers have already supported. Therefore I turn to you to avoid duplicate work: Does anyone plan to continue the work on the mod or is already busy with it? The installation of the mod breaks under V14 because various jump labels do not fit. I could fix that, however I am not a developer. I would appreciate your feedback. Many greetings Uwe
  6. Ummmm... Hi Guys Yeah, It's me again... I want to change an email address in the "MAIL and REGISTRATION section under Email Address and I get this notice??? I thought administrators had COMPLETE control of a site. Does anyone have an answer as to how I can change my email address as I no longer have that one? As always THANKS GUY'S!!!!!!

    Upgrade to TNG 14, PHP 8.0, and HTTPS

    We've been using TNG since early 2012 and our family loves it. We upgraded from TNG version 13.1.2 to 14 today and while we were at it, we upgraded the PHP from 7.4 to 8.0. Everything went without a hitch. I did check the wiki prior to upgrading the PHP, just to be sure that PHP 8.0 was supported. I've been meaning to get SSL applied. I upgraded some unrelated WordPress websites to HTTPS over the last couple of years and it just felt "wrong" not to have our TNG site using HTTPS. After a few minutes on the Wiki I saw how easy it was to implement, and with a change to 1 setting in TNG Administration and 1 ticket to my hosting provider (Simply Hosting), the site was updated. The process was much less worrisome than finding and using a "find and replace" plugin for WordPress. Thanks to the TNG users who support the wiki, what they do is important. And especially thanks to Derrin who keeps TNG moving forward; I've enjoyed working with TNG since version 9.
  8. Up until recently, comments and suggestions sent to me from my site were received in HTLM format. However, all emails are now being received in Plain Text. After spending several hours on the phone with GoDaddy, we verified that all of my email account settings were correct on the server side. Likewise, I spoke to hosting techs who also confirmed proper settings. They suggested that it might be something within TNG. I have double checked the settings in General Settings > Mail and Registration and my email address is correct and hasn't changed and all mail is to be sent from that address (my domain email account). Not sure what else needs to be checked so I'm asking for any thoughts or suggestions from the community. I'm using TNG v 13.1.2 PHP v 8.0
  9. Problems with newly registered users. Why don't I receive or notify the emails from any newly registered users? Is something wrong with this? Marla TNG 13.0.3

    Assign People Their Own Tree?

    I'm just curious what you all do, and yes, I know it's up to me, just looking for feedback. When you get a new person to your site, do you set them as the starting or home person? I was wondering because I don't follow every single line. So I might have a 1st to 3rd cousin or whatever that I have the basics on them and nothing else. Obviously, they can backtrack and find the line that goes further. Or I can leave it and set it with myself and they can find it. What do you do? Pros and cons?
  11. I'm using template 17, I have the extra links up top - Third and Fourth Link - I could, obviously delete them, or add another tree. I don't want to add additional trees or branches. So I was thinking maybe a blog? Or article format maybe? Is there a blog mod? What have you all seen or done with the extra link?
  12. Whenever I try to load a 1910 US Census record using Census Plus International I get the following message: Ancestry.com - 1910 United States Federal Census Series is US Federal Census dbid is = 7884 iid is = 31111_4327295-00124 No header columns found after 2nd if statement No header columns found after my 1st if statement No header columns found after new if statement No header columns found after 3rd if statement No header columns found after 4th if statement Any ideas? Thanks, Marc
  13. Is it possible that the DNA section be changed so that the test information is just the bits relevant to the person who took the test name, date (if known), where taken, gedmatch, haplogroups (if known) etc. Then link that person in the database and add the other info like MRCA, largest segment etc. This would mean then that a single Test could be added once and link to multiple people with all the relevant information. The current system just doesn't work, in order to add the data for the match you would need to add the test multiple times. Just looking now at one match on MyHeritage this person matches me, my dad, my daughter and more. In order to add this I would have to either add it at least 3 times to add the segment data (which is all different which is to be expected) etc or add it once and skip the segment data etc. Currently it is totally impractical to add test data with detail, I manage DNA kits for at least 7 family members at present across all the DNA testing sites and I really need to be able to add each test (1 per person per site) to the database and then link them to who they match with known details. Having tested at 2 sites and uploaded my atDNA to many others for myself I am looking at matches across 7 sites for me alone plus I have done mtDNA. Then theres the family ones on top.
  14. I have many miscellaneous photos of historic nature about my home town and county. Also, many articles about the history of same. I would like to find a way to incorporate them into TNG. I am not sure how to do this. I have linked photos, cemeteries, articles, letters and deeds to individuals. What do you do with things that are related to my ancestors but general in nature? Thanks, Larry Simpson

    Connections v13.1.0.7

    If a person's ID begins with no I (eg I5) but "ind..." (e.g. ind66755), it indicates an error: "Length: Bad Person1 ID - Pleease Go Back and Correct" Connections v13.1.0.7 developed by Michał Jarociński. I tried to change the ID hand using the "Utilities >> Research IDs" procedure, to the TNG only for the 90's number! TNG 13.1.2 + PHP 8.1 + TEMPLATE 12. Thank you in advance for help AND suggestion! Pál.

    Video guide in Danish - relevant here?

    I've made a video guide that in 28 minutes explains the purpose of TNG and explains readme.html (that I've also translated fra A - Z) for people who have absolutely never tried to establish a website before. I.e. they are wondering how to get data from their local machine to the internet, don't know what FileZilla is, don't know what a host is and so on. But they a great genealogists, without a chance to distribute and share their results achieved for maybe 30 years. I want them to see how easy it actually is to get TNG up running - and save a lot of money every year to some companies. Everything is down to earth and explained slowly, so that everybody can follow it. The introductory text in my Danish FAQ is: "If you follow this link, you will get to a video guide where I explain the purpose of TNG and the whole basic installation. You'll discover how easy it is to get started. The guide is intended for users who have never worked with websites before. If you follow the guide, you'll end up with a website." I've sent a link to Darrin so he can see whether he finds it precise enough for him to distribute the link to his (new) customers. He is busy these days but will have a look as soon as possible. Would a link to the guide be relevant somewhere in this community? Are there programs that can translate the video so you enthusiasts can maybe understand it a tell me what you think about it? I have spent really much time recording it (it is my first video tutorial), so now I know how difficult it is.

    Security / Privacy Question

    Hi all, My genealogy website is private and for now I want to keep it that way. I'm trying to prevent robots/crawlers etc from indexing, following and using my data. In order to achieve that I was thinking of modifying my .htaccess file by adding the followig: <FilesMatch ".(docx|pdf|png|jpeg|jpg|gif|mp4)$"> Header add X-robots-tag "noindex, nofollow, noimageindex, noarchive, nocache, notranslate, nosnippet, noyaca" </FilesMatch> Is this the correct way to do it? Do I still need to adjust my robots.txt / tngrobots.txt file too? I suppose that if the robots.txt / tngrobots.txt are set to follow and index this is blocked by the .htaccess settings or am I wrong? Is it still usefull to adjust my genlib.php with: <meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow" /> or a slightly different code? I'm also using rel=”noopener noreferrer nofollow” in my hyperlinks <a rel=”noopener noreferrer nofollow” href=”https://www.example.nl/” >Example</a> in cases where I need to link, but don’t want to be associated with the link target. I have read the articles in Security too and that's why I was looking into this. I know these are a lot of questions but hopefully relevant to other users too. Any comments and/or advise is welcome here. Rob
  18. Just installed the update to 13.1 from 12.x. All went well except, when I tried to log in, my Admin login failed. After panicking and tearing my hair for an hour or so, I discovered that the problem was that version 12.x would accept upper and lower case letters in the user name as being equivalent. However, 13.1 has (rightly so) eliminated this equivalency and insists that both the User Name and password match EXACTLY! Of course my browser had happily stored my login credentials precisely as I had entered them including the wrong case for one letter! Hope this helps someone.
  19. Hi everyone, I'm having a problem getting my TNG import to not show people who are still alive. I've attached the settings I'm using, Not sure why this is happening. I'd appreciate your help. Bob
  20. Hi there Not sure this is the right 'Forum' to add this, Sysops / Moderators please move appropriately, but PLEASE let me know it has been moved. There are two Mods relating (pun not really intended but it works 😀) which work well and each has their strong points. I'm happy to use either one. AND They work on TNG v13.1 .. Not sure they have been sorted for PHP v8 errors though 😁 The Mods are Relationship to Site Owner v12.0.0.6 Dev is Roger Moffat What appeals to me with this Mod is when the 'Relationship text' is clicked you are taken to the relationship Tab 'module' and a graphical display it shown. Relationship Display Mod v10.0.0.1 Devs are Jeff Robison & Gerald Leehan What appeals to me with this Mod is the ability to specify a 'Default Person' on the fly. I am wondering IF it would be possible to have the relationship shown on each of the 'Linked' pages Ancestors / Descendents & Timeline?

    Default Photo

    For some reason, after choosing and assigning and saving a default photo for an ancestor, it never shows up. I've used a JPG image in my photo editor, cropped the head and saved it as possible candidate for an ancestor. I then sign it to the ancestor as administrator, as the default photo and then save the results. I then refresh the ancestor page and the default photo is NOT THERE. I've noticed this problem on a number of cases. Almost all of my default photos work when assigned. Am I missing something? Thanks for your help

    Access to multiple tree

    Hi I have created 2 trees on my site and I have also created a 'guest' Account with restricted access to only one of the trees. If I login as this user and click on the 'Advanced' search button, both trees are visible and will return records from the tree not selected in the user setup 'Restrict the above rights to the following:' tree button? Any advice appreciated.
  24. Hi @Michel KIRSCH Love this new mod you have created.It even works out of the box with my private mods.. (Real Bonus).. Not sure if the intention was there for it to occur, it appears one cannot edit Events. Would that be something easily added?? I have attached a screen shot for you.. If I can be of any help please ask.. An Admirer Rick M
  25. Hi, I'm starting to get spam through TNG suggest form, which means such mails bypass my spam detection. I've tried to set the "nosuggest" flag, but the contact page is still shown and active. What is "nosuggest" flag meant for if not for this? Idea: add two alternatives to the contact form: Change it to a simple "mailto" link. Show a contact page with instructions on how to contact, preferably with the mail-address rendered on an image (not in clear text). ~Per
