I noticed Mod behavior which seems to have changed in TNG 13.0.1. (cache cleared, no other mods but prolog, tng 13.0.1) EDIT: my bad....Mod behavior is same as before..(deleted memo detail,.trying to hide the evidence of my faux pas.)

Bart, Ken, Robin or others, This morning I did the update from TNG 13.0 to 13.01. All previously installed mods work fine after re-installing except for the Person Map mod. It generates an error on line 83 (see screenshot) Installing the previous version of the file admin_updatemapconfig.php solves the problem so the error is probably be in the new version of the file although I'm not sure. A lot of people use this mod so can anyone solve this error? Kind regards, Rob

Hi All, There was - as I remember - a post regarding this subject. I can't find it now so maybe I'm not correct. Anyway: Installing the Comments mod when you use template #19 will give a database error when you click the Create DB Tables button. No tables are created. The reason is that in topmenu.php there is this: echo tng_icons(1, $title); This call to tng_icons() includes execution of the function get_find_menu() that in all other templates is called from index.php. The function is modified by the Comments mod to read the tng_commentsvisits table. As I use the topmenu.php for the "report DB table creations" page, the table is not created when the function is called in this instance. Hence the error. This is not good and in my view a break of the TNG standard (if there is one). As it's called from index.php in all other templates I don't think it's good programming practice to change it like this. A solution for the future might be to change the table for a cookie that is valid on only one device and may or may not be deleted But it seems okay to completely install the mod using another template (I tested with #1) and then switch to template #19. Sigh... I don't know... Erik

Hi all...just a tip for others if interested. I love the new zoom buttons that have been implemented in the 13.0.1 update that has come out today, but the size and location of the icons was a bit too much for me...so I used the following code to move the zoom icons over to the right of the chart and to decrease their size. Hope it helps. In the CSS folder in your template, add the following code to the file "mytngstyle.css" and don't forget to clear your cache once applied! /*Moves zoom icons to right of charts*/ #mag-icons-div { Float: right; margin-right: 10px; } /*Changes size of zoom icons*/ #zoom-in, #zoom-reset, #zoom-out { Width: 30px; Height: 30px; } Phil

Hi all...apologies in advance, as this post probably just shows my lack of understanding about the complexities of caches. But here goes 😉 I'm used to running my Joomla website on Siteground. Joomla has the inbuilt ability to clear the cache of the website... On the rare occasions that this doesn't work well, I also have installed an extension (add in) called Cache Cleaner - https://regularlabs.com/extensions/cachecleaner One click and it clears the cache. In fact, I tend to just use that and be done, as it's easy to get it. 98% of the time it works. If it doesn't then reloading my web browser whilst hold Shift (clearing the browser cache) works and I don't have issues. Now to TNG. I'm finding that clearing the browser cache isn't enough when I make changes to templates etc. I'm also logging into Siteground and purging the Cloudflare cache, then clearing the browser cache again or disabling Cloudflare (as discussed here https://tng.lythgoes.net/wiki/index.php/Bypassing_Browser_Cache). Even then, typically no changes appear and so I walk away for a few hours, come back and the changes have propagated. Is it because I use Cloudflare? I don't know...but my TNG site is under the same account as my Joomla site...heck...even the same folder and I don't have the issue with Joomla. I can't figure out why I have so many issues with clearing TNG's cache and not Joomla's? So my feature request is to see if we could actually have a tool within TNG that would clear all the site cache effectively and cleanly. It would save me a lot of head scratching and I think it would be of value thing to ask people to do before proceeding when posting here and having an issue. I'm hoping that maybe an inbuilt tool could hunt out those nasty cache files and truly delete them, in the same way the Joomla extension I mention seems to work its magic. Phil

Since upgrading to v13 when I replace All current data with a Gedcom import ALL the existing media entries are being updated on every import so all media (tries to) appear in "whatsnew.php" Is this caused by one of my mods or is it SOP?

The DNA table in the getperson-page has a bigger font size as all the other tables on that page. Css class definition for the DNA table is "table.whiteback.tfixed", all other tables have "table.whiteback.tfixed.normal". I dont know where to change. Templapte is 19. Pls Hlp. Regards Walter

Hello everyone, I always save all my documents as a .jpg file so the generating of thumbnails is easy and I always have thumbnail available. If you go to Setup >> Configuration >> General Settings>>Media>> and set “Show photo's on one row” to Yes all photo's on the person page appear on one row. Except for photo's (documents) that are not linked to an event (See picture) With this in mind I asked Darrin of this was intended. Here's what he said. Since I save all my documents as a .jpg file I wanted to see those on one row too. This is for those who save their documents as a .jpg file too. If you want to see the photo's (documents) on one row too (see picture below) do the following: Make sure you make a backup of your personlib.php. Edit your personlib.php file. Find the line (somewhere around 1012) that says : if(count($media) > 1 && ($mediatypeID == "photos" || in_array($mediatypeID, $mediatypes_like['photos']))) { and change it into: if(count($media) > 1) { Make sure to use the closing bracket after the 1 for otherwise it will generate an error 500. (happend to me 😞) If you reload your person page the photo's (documents) that are not linked to an event will appear on one row. Unfortunately I'm not able to write a mod so after an update/upgrade this needs to be reapplied. HTH Rob

Can anyone tell me where the code is to set the default opening option for the Get Person page? On my online site (still testing, not public) it is defaulting to Personal Information instead of All. On my computer (Wamp server) it defaults to All which is what I want. TNG version is updated to ver 13 and I have added the most recently updated files as well. So far to troubleshoot I uninstalled and deleted all mods and loaded a fresh getperson.php file, but it still defaults to Personal information, so I'm assuming the code is in another file. Help please.

The standard event record contains Event Type; Event Date; Event Place; and Detail. You can add notes as well. In the Event Map display, on the right side is a list of the events giving their Event Type; Event Date; Event Place; Detail, and the corresponding flag to that on the map. I would like a Mod that only displays the Event Type; Event Date; and Event Place in the Event Map list, suppressing Detail. Reason: If you record a large amount of data in the detail field such as a transcription of a will, this list grows far too large. If the reader wished to know more about, say the will, they can go above and look at that event entry. Hope this is clear, and even more, hopefully, it is an easy job.

Hi everyone, I just noticed a glitch on the person page. I added 4 media files and linked them to a person with the event Burial. Via Admin - General settings - media I set the media to appear on one row. I have no other mods installed the effect the media. The result is in the picture below. Is anyone else expieriencing the same when adding more than one media file with the event berial? Rob

Hello all, When creating families there is the possibility to create a family consisting of two people of the same sexe. Unfortunately they're always referred to as father and mother. instead of father/father or mother/mother. Has anyone ever created a mod that mitigates this? I know this can go furher than just the mentioned relationships above but for now it would be a good step in the right direction. Next week I plan to send an email to Darrin too, asking him about his point of view. I will take your comments into considiration too. Kind regards, Rob

V13 of TNG was going fine but within the admin panel, it wont allow me to add new people (when using the 'people' tab) I get a http 500 error. This appears to of occured after I upgraded the Census Mod (upgrade from V 12.0.0.10a to censusplus_v13.0.0.11.cfg (may/maynot be the reason why I'm getting the error above though..) Also, when I add a new family (as below), via the admin control panel, it wont allow me to save the person, it just hangs... I have also uninstalled all mods. I'm using template 18. I uploaded all files again this morning but it made no difference. I upgrade from v12.3 to v13. Also I have uploaded the patch Darrin added from the 1st Oct given I upgraded TNG prior to this. Not sure what else to try.

I upgraded from version 12 to 13 and can no longer add new media. The file is saved in the proper directory as you can see in the second screen shot. No thumbnail is created and the next screen after this one is a blank white page with no opportunity to add/attach the image to a person. The file does not appear in a search of media for the file name. "Davison" in this example. And it does not show up in files without thumbnails although I did find one like that yesterday "Merriam Ethel Annie", and TNG created a new thumbnail. I downloaded a fresh copy of the ver. 13.0 upgrade this morning and reinstalled it but that did not solve the problem. When I try to add the same file again, I just get a duplicate (1) in the proper directory and the same blank white screen. Any and all help most welcome...

Hi. I'm usingTNG V13, template 18. I've noticed the comments on my site are hidden and users must login to view them. My settings are set to 'true' for Publc reading (it has always been like this) Not sure why this is happening. Any ideas? I have also noticed public can not comment because there is no option to do that - comment button has dissappeared.

Hello everyone, Is anyone else experiencing the problem below? When I'm in Family Chart view and I click Groupsheet View in the bottom bar I get the following message: When I'm in Groupsheet view and click Family Chart in the bottom bar I get the following message: If so I will report this to Darrin. Rob

Erik, I tried using the "Open My Page mod" together with Template 19 but it doesn't seam to work. No link/button with My Page visible. Any idea what's wrong here? Rob Using mod version 10.0.0.4b with template 19 and TNG 13

I am curious to hear from some power users on how they are maintaining their places table. I have a smaller family tree that I have only had time to dabble in from time to time. I had started by transcribing a Great Aunt's family history from paper into a genealogy program called Brother's Keeper. But I converted to TNG when I found that it was easier for quick access anywhere I had internet access. Now as I go back and try to clean up my places to bring some consistency I cannot decide if I want to define places for particular street addresses or not. I would like to hear how others in the community approach the maintenance of their places.

Hi Moders and Programmers ! I would like to write a Mod that would allow to insert a link to a individual of the genealogy into a note. For this, I would like to use TNG's search function (the one we usually use to search for a spouse or a child we would like to add). This search function is called with a button : <input type="button" value="Person Search" onclick="return findItem('I','hiddennote' , 'mynote' , '' , '' );"> findItem() is a function from selectutils.js So I create a button, a text field (mynote) and a hidden field (hiddennote) in the note editing window. It works very well, the search window opens and I can select a person in the genealogy. The return URL is in the form : http://....../admin_editperson.php?personID=I5&tree=KC1&cw=1# The problem is that I don't know where and when this "admin_editperson.php" is inserted in the URL. I would have to replace it by "admin_editnote.php" to be able to intercept the result... Can someone help me? Thank you Michel

I have an issue when trying to login. Normaly if I press the login button on the startpage https://www.severijns.family/index.php I should be directed the the login screen. In my case I'm directed to: https://www.severijns.family/index.php# Basicly my startpage ending with a # I saw the underlying code looks like this: <a href="#" onclick="return openLogin('ajx_login.php?p=');" title="Login" class="tngsmallicon" id="log-smicon">Login</a> If I change the code into: <a href="login.php" onclick="return openLogin('ajx_login.php?p=');" title="Login" class="tngsmallicon" id="log-smicon">Login</a> logging in works but not via the login popup. I have no clou what the side effects of the code change will be but maybe someone can shed a light on this. I also have no idea where to permanently change the code so if someone could tell me that too that would be really nice 😊 Rob Using TNG 13.0

I am a newbie to TNG and have managed to install and got working my site as here: Website: https://wilkinsonfamily.site TNG Version: TNG 13.0 Template: 13 I am finding the various instructions and guidelines in the admin help and the wiki are helpful but very confusing. I want to make some basic configuration changes and additions to the site but I can't figure out where to start. What I need is a guide as to how, what, where I need to make changes in order to add or delete or change the pages - mainly the home page - to suit my purposes. For instance, if I want to add a hit counter to the main page footer, where do I insert the html code to call the function? TIA.

Hi all, On my site (http://genealogie.vanhoboken.nl) I use the mod "Public Access Control" to prevent the access to photo's by not-logged-in users. This works certainly ok but as soon as a user is authorised for a tree, it has access to all media. Is there a way (or mod) that allows the logged-in-user only to see the media that is linked to the branche he is authorised for? Thanks for any help Alex

I’ve noticed comments in a few threads like this one https://tng.community/index.php?/forums/topic/14764-adding-new-family/ ...that say things like (quoting Ken in this case).... So I am after some clarification. Is this saying that the v13 download continues to be updated with fixes that we’re not aware of unless we happen to use this forum or one of the other support mechanisms? That the v13 zip file I downloaded last week is possibly not the same as the one up there now? How are we meant to know or keep track of versions or changes? I’m away from home at the moment so don’t have login details to look....but I would have thought that versioning the download (to maybe 13.0.1 etc etc) and announcing it would be appropriate....or am I completely misinterpreting things? Again, apologies, as this is the first significant upgrade for me since I started using TNG. Phil

I am not using a template in TNG 13. And have integrated the TNG website in Wordpress (Kloosterman). Now I would like in TNG the name and date of birth and death next to the photo. Now it is below the photo. Anyone an idea how I can adjust this?

I thought I'd put this here. I cannot trace these to a mod. I have uninstalled a lot of mods that don't work, upgrade PHP to 7.4, and just downloaded the update today (2 Oct). Any ideas? 1) The following appears at the top of Admin > Cemeteries: "Warning: A non-numeric value encountered in /home/pitard/www/ancestors/admin_cemeteries.php on line 14o0"
