Good Morning TNGer's. The question I have is : can you use customconfig.php for more that one dropdown menu? Although I am currently making my first attempt at creating a mod for this, I was wondering about using customconfig.php or editing topmenu.php. but like i said I'm attempting a mod for this purpose. I was just wondering about the other 2 options out of curiosity. Thanks

I tried to add my site and didn't find instructions so I entered what I thought was everything identifying my use but when I returned, my site didn't show.

I have been using the Klostermann 's integration method of WordPress and tng with among others with the OpenStreetMap mod for quite some time. Everything war working fine. But when I upgraded tng to version 13.1.1 and the OSM-mod to version 13.1.0.8b the event map is not showing anymore. I then did a new - full - installation and added the OSM-mod 13.1.0.8b. This works without any problems. But as soon as I make the modifications according to the Klostermann's method the map is not showing. Any hint?

This is probably a very simple question for most people .... but what is the script used for cascading a link to the home page throughout the website? I'm not sure why I have such a problem with keeping it but every time I upgrade to a new revision (@V13.1.1 now), I lose it (and it's not in my notes - me bad :-((.) Also, I'm having huge trouble finding where I edited the footer last time... I would really appreciate someone's guidance!

with version 6 "0" = patriarchs and matriarchs not displayed "1" = ancestors + patriarchs and matriarchs not displayed

I'm running version 13.0.4, and occasionally put the site in maintenance mode for updates. Granted, being in maintenance mode does display a small label on each page, but what I'd really prefer is to simply display a splash page with no access at all during maintenance mode time periods. I could go into my template and code one, but being an IT person by trade and thus natively lazy, I thought I'd see if someone had perhaps already invented that wheel. Feedback welcome.

This is my website, not really ready for people yet but it is up. https://michaelleethomas.com When I put a location in ie, Big Spring, Howard, Texas, USA I would like to know if there is a way to have a googlemap or other mapping software to show it? Thank Y'all Michael

Hi all, over the past few days I’ve taken advantage of MyHeritage.com offering free access to their photo tools to either repair, enhance or colourise images. Many of the results have been…a little bit odd, to say the least… but in some cases the enhancement of the image has been very good indeed. I’m still not that comfortable with displaying a colorised version of a black and white photo, but in some cases, the enhanced image or “restored colour” image has been quite impressive. The images download with a watermark in the bottom right, which I don’t have an issue with…and I’m still mulling over whether I’m actually going to include these computer enhanced images in my Reunion genealogy database. Personally I’d never just display the enhanced version…I’d always include the original and indicate (somehow) the difference. I’m trying to figure out how I could label the image as “Enhanced” in Reunion, and then when I import via GEDOM into TNG, have them displayed as such? As all my works is done in Reunion and then imported into TNG. But… it made me wonder if some clever person might be able to create a mod that allows you to associate a value with an image, to indicate that it is computer enhanced…AND…when the image is displayed in TNG, it clearly indicates that somehow? Personally I’m not wanting a watermark added to the image…I’m thinking something that just highlights on the page displaying the media that it is enhanced. But to be honest, I’m just thinking out loud, because I’m not exactly sure what the best approach would be and what is achievable? All comments welcome. In case anyone is interested…I also have Adobe Photoshop that can do colorisation…but My Heritage was just so fast and easy to use, I took up their free offer (while it lasted) instead. It’s not something I will continue to do…I’m just trying to figure out the most effective way to use a few of the images that I am quite pleased with.

My first version of TNG was v12. I installed chapta and got it work. After upgrade to TNG 13 the chapta mod doesn't work. I wasn't aware of that until recently. I went in to the Admin page to uninstall the chapta mod. When checking the chapta is still there and doesn't let anyone advance to send a contact mail to me. I have been checking the wiki but I can't remember which version of chapta I was using so I find no answer how to completely remove the mod . I think I recall I had to add some lines in a file. I am a totaly noob when it comes to this I hope someone can give a clue how disable the chapta. -Stefan

In todays market, TNG would need to lift it's game, if it wanted to stay competitive, in the future Family Tree market. The terms Male and Female, now no longer apply, so additions would need to be added to appeal to the L,G,B,T,Q,I mob and the other H,D,O,Z,W,X brigade. Either an updated drop down menu in the get-person creation, or a space to add your own identity, or identity of. Then of course, you have those that don't identify as either Male or Female, they simply acknowledge themselves as being "Non-Binary". They would much rather be identified as a Toaster or a Breville Snack Maker. I'm not sure if @Darren has thought of it, or about it, but first horse out of the gate, normally wins the race. Would certainly put TNG out in front.

Using mainly the Custom Menu Hook Mod sample, I made some changes to my main menu bar. One of those changes involved deleting the Calendar menu item from the Find drop down menu and moving it to the Info drop down menu. I would really prefer the Calendar to be a link on its own on the main menu bar on the same level with the drop down menu titles (but it would not be a drop down menu). If anyone can give me some guidance on how to do that, I would appreciate it. I’m using Template 19, TNG v13.1.1, Windows 10 WAMP server. Jackie

I can not code MODs (or anything else), but I'm a perfectionist in Danish language, so I have this offer to the many MOD developers: If you ever need/want something in a MOD or maybe in a template translated into Danish please tell me. I'll be happy to assist and give back a bit to this wonderful community.

Strange problem, with some persons I get een error with the Fam Preview mod. Uninstalling the mod solves the problem, so it is definitely a Fam Preview mod problem I am using version Family_preview_v13.0.0.3 PS: Version family_preview_v10.1.0.2c throws the same problem Show All family is also installed, uninstalling does not solve the problem The family_indicators_v10.1.0.1c is also installed TNG version 13.1 / PHP 8.0.14 The printscreen shows the error on my local host, but on my server the same problem

Michel, you created this mod some monts ago which made it possible to hide a lot of submenues. I still have the mod as you can see enclosed but since some weeks it does not show in the left menu. I have switched template a couple of times (10, 4, 20, 18) but it seams to not work any longer. I have uploaded more mods since CMM, maybe that has caused problem? Below you can see both Collapse Media Menus and all my mods. It would be great if you could find this out when you have time, no hurry. Leif

Hi Brent, Or anyone else of course. Any idea what's causing this and how to solve it? Uninstalled all mods and cleared cache before the update. Just to be sure I replaced all the pdfjs viewer files but without effect. Could it have something to do with three new .js files that came with TNG 13.1.1 ? Thx in advance, Rob

I did a fresh tng install on my fresh install of wampserver64. I was able to install the custom hook menu mod. but 2 others: image captcha mod and the lazarus gb link mod says it cannot install. Any thoughts on this? thanks oh and here's the message why the lazarus link mod cannot install: Cannot install With this Mod you can create a link to your Guestbook for every template.

Cannot install mod I created TNG v13.1, Template 19 I decided to make some minor changes to a template. I decided to create a mod to keep track of my changes. To learn how to do that, I am starting with a simple insertion of a comment in a file, to see if it works. It did not. I can use some help. First few lines from footer.php file in this directory: c:/wamp64/www/familytree/templates/template19 – <!-- begin footer --> <?php global $text, $flags, $tng_version, $cms; ?> <br clear="both"/> </div> <!-- This section begins the 3 footer boxes --> Lines from my mod file, on my wamp server, in this directory: c:/wamp64/www/familytree/mods – %name:JWP Change Footer Mod% %version:V13.0.0.0% %description:This mod makes changes to the footer for template 19% %author:JWP% %private:% %target:templates/template19/footer.php% %location:% <!-- begin footer --> %end:% %insert:before:% ###This file has been modified by the mod "JWP Change Footer Mod"### %end:% This is the result I get in the Mod Manager, indicating I cannot install: line 7: %target:templates/template19/footer.php% verified line 8: %location: action tag invalid What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance. Jackie

Hey y'all. Is anyone here using the Forum mod? if so what are your thoughts and opinions on it?just curious to here from you all prior to me installing it on my site. Thanks! Well it doesn't look like it wants to work in tng v13.1 In the mod manager, it says it cannot install. So I don't know...

Well, I'm having 2 issues, I know one is the custom hook menu mod. Seems like more often than not, the mod will switch from installed to partially installed. Then I have to install it again. everytime I do this it just adds more of the same code to my customconfig.php file. Anyone have an idea whats going on with that? The other part is, I know I have customconfig and cust_text setup properly, but when I go to the guestbook (lazarus 1.25b2) it redirects to https://www.mirelle-sound.ch/lazarus/index.php Stuff is driving me crazy! BTW, this is on my localhost setup (wamp server). not going to try and install on the real site until all the bugs are worked out

Hello everyone, I have installed the Custom Menu hook Mod on my site and installation went well. I was able to edit the Cust_txt file and customconfig.php too. Only problem I ran into was that the textlength in the box with the text More is limited. Would like to see the word "Family Trees" ("Stambomen" in Dutch) in there but that text doesn't fit. Where can I change the box width in order to make the text fit properly? Kind regards, Rob

Hi Everyone! When geocoding, I hit a wall when I was trying to edit a place. I have an important village called Mollyroe in the county of Donegal, Ireland. I tried to edit the lat. and long. (using both styles) for OSM, but still, it didn't show up on the map. Google maps shows the tiny village in Ireland but not OSM. Goggle map of Mollyroe Can I manual enter it somehow in order to have the map in the individual view working correctly for that location?? Thanks for any help with this, greatly appreciated! Jeff

Hello fellow forum members, In MS Excel there is the possibility to freeze panes. The templates in TNG don't allow us to do that. Most templates have either a topmenu and/or a sidebar menu. I was wondering if it is possible to freeze certain boxes in the template so it is more obvious who we are looking at. See the screenshots of the boxes that I would like to be frozen on the: Startingpage Everything below this is scrollable For templates that have a sidebar menu like template 9 that should be frozen on st startingpage too. Person page and similar pages Everything below this is scrollable. I don't think this will be easy but thanks for any comments, ideas or solutions. btw my template is template 207 from Genealogy Web Templates. Kind regards, Rob

Hi Everyone! I have ver. 13.1. How do I hide the last modified field?? I tried an old code that a few members gave me, that worked on previous version 12 and back, but not forward into 13.x. Well appreciated any thoughts! Jeff:)

Not sure if this MOD related. I have installed @ 20 MODs. It's impossible to do a full review of functionality after installing each one so I'm not sure if is a MOD that has caused the issue. When ever I try and generate any PDF file I get the screen below. Has anyone else experienced this type of error?

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?
