Trying to install gmaps_add_4_placelevels, which I have used before, but this time it will not install. I am sure the message is giving me the answer but I don't get it!

Can the auto registration acknowledgement email message be edited? If so, specifically where can this be done please? Nothing in the "Mail and Registration" settings allow editing. Thanks Judy

Hi Scott, When your Mod "Expand Search" is installed : Search for a name gives a list of names. Normally, when "mouse over" on a name, you see a preview of the individual. I can see 1st,2nd,3th,... (depending of the query result) first previews but the rest of the list doesn't show the preview... (never the last and not the first, or the 10th and not the first, etc.. Always 1,2,3,...) It seems that this nothing to see with the type of result (with/without media, notes, or else) Redo the same query gives the same results (in terms of preview) Uninstalling the mod restore all in good state... I'm using TNG 12.2. Your mod works with his default parameters. MichelK (genealogie AT mkirsch DOT be)

Is it possible to import a GEDCOM file from the command line? So I can script the import when I export from my main database? I have TNG 12 on an Ubuntu server.

I'm in the process of setting up a private site for family members (this explains the blurred text in the image attached) based on information that mum and dad entered into Reunion over a number of years, using TNG and template 18. Mum and dad used the "Notes" field in Reunion as a place to write biographies of some people...not horrendously long text, but also not short notes either. For that reason, I have set the Notes section in TNG to display higher up on individual pages...but instead of displaying the full text of the field, it's putting scroll bars into the text area, which makes reading a bit awkward (the image I'll upload has an arrow pointing to the scrollbar). Is there a simple way to turn off the scrollbars within the notes area? Either by an admin setting or a simple hack to the template? On a side note...if there is a better place in an individual page/record to place a biography (and how you would go about that)...then I'm open to making adjustments...although that will be a lot of work for me, in both in TNG and Reunion. Cheers, Phil

Mum and dad used the "Notes" field in Reunion as a place to write biographies of some people...not horrendously long text, but also not short notes either. I don't want to allow users that login to the site to edit anything without me approving the changes...but I note that at the moment using the settings for my test user (see image attached) that Notes can't be edited (like the two items I point to in the image can be). Is this because Notes is effectively a free text field...and I either have to agree to let them edit the whole field or nothing? I really was hoping they could edit the text area and submit chnages for my approval. At the moment, my settings are basically "you can suggested changes for a lot of facts, but not the notes"...but I don't want to set their access to "you can alter anything you want". I'm trying to find the right balance of editing rights. At the moment, I'm thinking I'll have to leave it how it is, and ask people to email the changes they want to their Notes field directly to me. Is there a better way?

I have suddenly find out that many of my source links to church records are disappeared. I do not know when it has happnend. I have looked in the citations.bak files back to 2016 but the missing links not found. When I make a birth registration I go to Sources, Edit Action and do the registration of text and the link in Actual Text field. In the early days I made the registration in the Notes field. I think that most of the missing links has been registrated in the Notes field. Is that the problem? I use both http and https links. Is it possible to make a script or something to find the missing links? I have over 10.000 persons. Best Peter Skjoldhoj

Hi there, I’m working on a website where I have hacked the two links at the top of the template to link to descendent charts that are for either branch of the family, rather than link to other charts…mostly because I like the visual look of the chart. I really like the Public Access Mod and tend to activate it, but I’d like to exclude these two charts from being hidden in any way. To be specific, I’d like them to remain visible and I’d like the images on them to remain visible, just for these two charts. Is there anyway to activate the mod but somehow have two descendent charts that will always display and not be hidden? I’m guessing code that excludes them from being hidden by way of their person ID? Cheers, Phil

Hi, brand new user here. I have several questions but I'll start with; How can I modify the "his/her side" section? I'd like to add a third or fourth section but not a url link as exists in some of the templates, but rather another "his/her side" link as it appears in the template settings section now. In other words, rather than a "his/her" link (two options), I want three brothers to link to - three options. I'm currently trying to modify Template 9. -Mike

Hi all; I had posted this in another, older, thread but decided perhaps it should be here. Forgive me for any duplication. I'm still struggling to get the Simile Timeline to work properly. I've made the changes referenced earlier in this thread, in terms of changes to the history_html file, and by installing the revised Timeline by SKDavis. I much appreciate all the help. Here are the errors that are showing on the page. Can anyone help me with these errors, or point me to things to read or learn that might help me? simile-ajax-bundle.js:1541 TypeError: Cannot read property 'documentElement' of null "XmlHttp: Error handling onReadyStateChange" I have additional errors - similar verbiage - that I did not include, just for brevity. If I can find the error in this one, perhaps it will lead to the solution in the others. Maybe? Thanks for any help or direction. Mike

To say I am impressed by TNG would be an understatement. Not only the continual work by Darrin but the whole community approach. In particular I have had phenomenal responses when I didnt know what I was doing, or wanted a wee tweak here or there. However, I also want my family to talk, share stories, give general public info about the weirdnesses in our genes and that is all a bit beyond the core structure. I have had and still keep a traditional Joomla site kilkie.org which does all those things but there is no automatic method for easy integration with Joomla. I have found a way around this as I can run TNG from my joomla and make it an option on the private side of the joomla site for family members only. There are still a number of problems, some of which are liveable with but some that irk family members. I would be grateful for comments/suggestions/criticism of any /all of them. 1. You need to log in twice - once to Jooma and once to TNG. I cannot see a way of adding login parameters to the call to TNG which might simplify things. They are both PHP and MySQL so it should be possible, just beyond my abilities. At present my family members are enjoying TNG so much they ignore the other part and so updating on stories, birthdays etc is all falling by the wayside. 2. More important is that I havent figured out how to make it impossible to run TNG directly, ie not via my joomla programme. I have put TNG in subfolder of my Joomla site but that doest stop people running things from there. Any ideas? with grateful thanks for any suggestions. Martin

I'm signed in as the administrator with all access rights. When trying to edit a source I get the following error. Template 18 with no mods. Forbidden You don't have permission to access this resource. Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Happy New Year! Maybe this is here and I haven't found the switch but here goes. In Admin (Main Menu) Media, the thumb appears for all media (if you have assigned it). Can the same be done for Admin (Main Menu) People? So every people line would have a thumb. It would make it so much easier to identify the names that need some work. Thanks

I have a website that is in Wordpress but my visitors register with aMember Pro - i want to be able import all the user into TNG then to switch on the user integration to wordpress option on the TNG settings so that if a new user registers it will also add to TNG. Or get the users to register on aMember but access my TNG data. Can this be done ? I am feeling hopeful today thanks Heather

I do not understand why I can't create a new cemetery in 12.1. I have already created 11 that are working beautifully. However, when I try to create a new one, it always gives me the ID=0, and of course, this displays the "thispagedoesnotexist.html" page. I am including two pictures. One within the editor, the other is the result. Thank you for any help in solving this problem.

When I tried to change Log Settings i get an Error message: I tried to exclude "Administrator" from logging. But this Error message (Warning ?) also appears, when I don't exclude usernames; Just by clicking the "SAVE"-Button FIle-Access for both genlog.txt and adminlog.txt is 0777. Is there any debug option for this ?

Recently I changed my setting to never show the LDS data on getperson page (Setup >> Configuration >> General Settings Privacy Show LDS Data: to Never) That works fine, but now I get a PHP Warning. Warning: Use of undefined constant tngpath - assumed 'tngpath' (this will throw an Error in a future version of PHP) in /homepages/29/d271600856/htdocs/testbrown/personlib.php on line 630 How can I make the warning not display on the screen? An example page https://edwards-moore-family.net/testbrown/getperson.php?personID=I6&tree=0001 Version v. 12.2, hosted on 1&1 Thanks, - John

I'm positive I've edited "Notes" in the past but the how is eluding me. From the person's profile and edit, the notes disappear from the screen. How can I locate them for editing?

I am not exactly sure how to phrase my question. I am unable to add a source, a spouse or children. When I try half of the page becomes shaded and I have no option to continue, I am desperately in need of a solution because it is very frustrating to say the least. Any help would be greatly appreciated. A photo is attached of what is occurring.

I've gotten the following error message after installing TNG 12 from 11.2. Now unable to change templates.

Since I last updated TNG v12.2 an individual's ahnentafel on the Ancestors tab is only showing one generation. I have looked in Chart Settings, but ahnentafel is not mentioned, niether is it in the Help page. I am using Template 16. Does anyone have a similar problem or a solution?

At the time of release of version 1.0.3, there waqs release MYSQL 5.7. In it's strict mode, it prevented saving 0 as date. This meant new registrations did not created SQL errors. it was only tested on TNG versions 9 and 10.1.3 asI had not upgraded to V12 it's operation in WP-TNg integration (by Mark Barnes) was a bit flacky. I have bumped up new release to version 2.0.1 because I have now upgraded to TNG version 12.1 and this version and this now TNG-Worpress login works with most TNG versions. What does Version 2.0.1 do? Adds a Registration Form which may replace the Wordpress registration form by deselecting 'Membership>Anyone can register' in Wordpress Dashboard>Settings. Adds a User Profile page which saves the changes in Wordpress and TNG database Adds an enhanced Password-Reset module which checks for the presence of email of registered user. Almost all the text used in pages and emails is customisable by the administrator. User may login using either registered user Name or email. On successful login, if User Name exists in TNG database, the user is also logged in to TNG. GDPR Privacy policy is implemented Compatibility Tested on TNG versions, 9, 10.1.3 and 12.1 Not tested on TNG V11 but database changes are incorporated (Thank you @Darrin for providing me the details of the changes) Tested on PHP version 5.4 - 7.3.1 Tested, successfully, with Kloosterman and Mark Barnes methods of Integration Detects TNG versions in use to allow for database changes Customisable privacy settings track TNG 12 cookie and consent flags set consent flag for TNG V9-11 saves consent flag in Wprdpress database set to ask returning user for consent Outstanding Issue If using Mark Barnes plugin, Login within TNG is not functional. User can only login / logout using the Widget. Cause of this is buried deep inside the tne plugin and I have not been able to resolve this. I have the widget working on my live site using Kloosterman method and on my Test site using Mark Barnes plugin. Sadly, both sites are still using TNG V10.13. I have not got round to upgrading the two sites. 🙁 Upgrade to tng V12.2, on both sites, was forced on me because PHP 5.4 became depracated. If you are using Mark Barnes Plugin, remember to 'uncheck Integrate TNG/Wordpress logins: ' in the plugin setup You may download V2.01 V2.0.2 form here If appropriate please message me if you intend to test/use this plugin.

There seems to be an anomaly concerning logging in on my website. If your browser automatically logs you in - or - you log in at the home page there is no problem. It works perfectly. If you try to log in while you are anywhere else on the site - such as an individual ancestor's page, then it hangs up and shows a blank page. The url says it is hung at processlogin.php. However, if you hit the browser's back button it will go back to where you were and it will show you logged in. The same thing happens whether you are using Firefox, Chrome, or Opera. When using Edge, it just jumps back to the Home page and shows you logged in. This is not the way it is supposed to work. I am using TNG ver 12.2. This problem did not exist before I upgraded. Perhaps I did something wrong setting it up. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks James Brown https://thebrownfamilytree.info/

I'm trying to understand how to write URL/URI links in TNG addons like the Family Group Worksheet to keep them compatible with WordPress and other CMS integrations. My scripts sometimes fail on WordPress sites and I'm pretty sure it's because links to other pages are not working correctly. I've already scoured the Internet with no joy, but I suspect all the real expertise is right here. Using the TNG function getURL() is not ideal, since my scripts often work from a TNG sub directory, where I need to define cms['tngpath'] to access TNG libraries, but works against my own scripts which are relative to the working directory of the addon, not the TNG root. So what does the CMS need? Could anyone with an integration like WordPress using the TNGcms class share a copy of that script with me to help me understand the internals? Any other guidance on this issue, such as which links are affected (only menus?) and which are not, would be most helpful. Thanks.
