Hi I have tried to find a way to add a document which consists of several pages to the document section in the media gallery, but so far no solution. Is there at way to do this? I first tried to add the document as a pdf-file, but no matter what I did, I only got a message telling me the pdf-file was too large according to settings in the php.ini file. Regards Jan Christensen

Hello, Hoping I can get a bit of help. I've been figuring out a lot on my own, but this one I don't know. Probably looking right at me or I'm too stupid. I'm trying to add cemeteries, but when I do, I get the error message populated in the image below. The Table Database it says doesn't exist, "bonesare..." is listed under setup Database. If that's even where I'm supposed to look. Under my cpanel, public_html, I do not see a "cemeteries" folder like I do with headstones, histories, img, photos, etc. etc. Does that matter? Do I need to define max lines? If so, what is the standard (I do realize it's an ind. preference, but as this is a TNG thing, I don't know, start with 25? 50?)

When I try to add a new person, the "Person ID" box is auto filled with "P200". It used to fill with the incrementally next available ID. I don't know what changed or when it changed (was in last few months). I would like to get it auto-filling an appropriate ID again.

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?

Hey guys and gals My project is creating a new website using the latest WordPress and TNG via the Kloosterman method on wampserver64 localhost (for now). Having problems with the cell contents of pedigree, descend and familychart.php Attached is a couple of screenshots. Any help in the right direction to fix it will be greatly appreciated.

Hello again, as i said in my last post i'm Mine and just joined the TNG13 users (https://stories-through-time.de/) Up till now i used Heredis 2021 as the software for my genealogy. There i set the people, sources and media as private that should be private. When i import the gedcom into tng this "private" flag is imported as a custom event with the value "privacy" and the person/media/source is not set as private. It actually creates 2 identical custom events, one linked to people and one linked to sources, but none for media. So i've been wondering what to do... As i understood it, if the media is linked to a living person and the user is not permitted to watch living people the media won't be shown. Did i understand that correctely? But then does this work with the private flag as well? I thought about using a SQL command to set everything with that custom event as private but i'm a bit scared to smash the db with the wrong command since i don't have a clue about SQL... And since there are quite a few jpegs which are private but the source its linked to is not (because i dont have publishing rights or don't want the scans to be shown, stuff like that) i still have the problem with the media. Still it would be better to set all the media as private and correct the ones which are not private manually, than to do it the other way.... Can anyone help me with this? Thanks! Mine P.S. Happy Easter!

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?

Hey y'all. I've searching hi and lo for the blue color of the Search and Reset buttons and since it's on hover, can't really get the right color with a color pic app. I've searched: all the tng css files in the css folder, used different color pic apps, etc. I found where you can change the text color, but I don't want to change that, just the button itself. Can anyone point me in the right direction on this? FYI, using wp 6.0.2, Astra Pro 3.9.2 on windows 11 pro and Wampserver 64bit. One pic is the blue and the other is the color I want to change it to:

So I'll be playing clean-up from the install for a long time. All my media didn't get transferred though the GEDCOM, of course. So I am going back and editing the media. I upload the correct image. Sometimes it works. I look at the individual's data and the image is there and everything in hunky-dory. But some I load, doing everything the same, media in the same format and comparable size, but it doesn't show up or I get an error. And another will only show up if I click on it. I've logged out and refreshed. Haven't tried it from another browser yet but still. Is it just glitchy? Does it take time?

My site https://bonesareforever.org/index.php My version: tng v-13 On the right side of my page I have titled "Before you jump in..." and the "More" at the bottom of that paragraph, when I click that [https://bonesareforever.org/histories/feature1.php] I get a 404. Additionally, when adding information to that text area box, I can only add so much and it will not accept anymore. Well, I can add plenty, but when saving it, it says Forbidden, I Don't Have Access, yadda-yadda. So 1) How / where can I edit the "More" link. 2) Why am I getting a Forbidden message when trying to save text for the Feature 1 paragraph under Folder: templates/template17. I am returning to edit this. I'm having one issue after another. I generated my API key, maps don't work. I uploaded one picture and it gave me a page of errors. _______________________________ An error has occurred in the TNG software. What to do: If you just installed an upgrade, you might have skipped part of the installation instructions. Go back to the upgrade readme page reread the instructions. Pay special attention to the database structure step. If you just installed TNG for the first time, you might still need to create the database tables.

Should I just crap it all and start over and do it myself or is there something really freaking simple that I'm not seeing. I've searched the Wiki and the forums. If i did happen to find anything, it was several years and several versions out of date. I don't mean to come off nasty. I've had a really crap day , I'm frustrated and can't get this to work. I think I'm going to shut everything down and walk away for a bit. Thank you

I've about reached the end of my patience with Simply Hosting. After years of working just fine, and with no changes having been made at my end, their hosting of my TNG 13.01 website has become a steady drip of headaches. Over and over now I have to do the routine of submitting a support ticket, they respond and patch the day's issue, but they never manage to explain what is causing the problem or what I need to change if anything. And within hours or days here we go again with either the same issue or a brand-new one. Enough already. So I'd be glad to know of other hosting providers that TNG users are happy with for hosting TNG websites. Ease of TNG setup, and then reliability of hosting service, are my primary considerations. Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions. Cheers, Paul Botts

Just out of curiosity, which themes do you WP guys use? Thanks

Hello, Having so much fun with TNG13. I'm a newbie just this week. I uploaded my entire GEDCOM from Legacy9 and am absolutely amazed at how all that data can "magically" be loaded onto such beautiful templates. My question: Under HERS I appear perfectly with my whole ancestry. Under HIS my father is listed. I thought my husband would be listed. How can I fix that? Here's my new site if you wish to see what I mean: https://www.gregorinschwieder.com/ Thanks for any help. Donna

I am using template 13 in German. Alternative language 'English' works well apart from "Feature Links", where I want to lead users to an English version of a website. The link still leads to the German version even if the language "English" has been chosen before. Could it be that it doesn't accept additions to the national domain. To get to the English version the ".de" address is followed by "/eng.php". This is not active in the English version of the template. Thanks. Mac

PLEASE NOTE I AM VERY DUMB WITH THIS Please can anybody assist me with the media, im struggling and cant make out how to add all from gedcom or must i add one by one?

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

I have replaced the default top menu by a custom menu in topmenu.php. This menu is shown correctly on a PC, but on a mobile phone I still see the default menu. I assumed that there would be a separate 'topmenuformobile.php' (or some such), but cannot locate this. How can I replace the default menu on a mobile phone (hopefully without having to carry out other complicated changes)? I am not using any templates or CMS.

When I upgraded my hosted site to 13.1.2, everything is perfect. When I did a new install on my new Dell pc, I get this in the screenshot. anyone see or run into this from other users? Thanks

I installed a 2nd tree via the "Trees" tab where I created a new tree. Then I went to import and successfully imported the 2nd tree. What I really want is the link to get to a pedigree chart for person number 1 in my "greentree" tree file which is my 2nd tree I just added. Does someone know what code I'd use to do that? Thank you.

Hello! I just noticed a "small" problem on my site. I don't know if it's recent or not since I didn't pay attention to it before today. The problem is that I can't display the full size media. I am able to see the small formats but not the large ones. This always gives me the message "loading" (in French). https://francoissoucy.com/tng/showmedia.php?mediaID=2231&medialinkID=8690 USER: visiteur PASS: visiteur Thank for help!

Hi - I've been using TNG for a bit now, but only for 1 tree, "My Genealogy", fed by my Ancestry tree via FamilyTreeMaker via Gedcom to TNG. (https://kldewitt.com/genealogy) As a favor to a person I met online recently, I've been building a 2nd tree ("LeDuc/LaDuke") within my site for her family while we try to figure out where we might intersect. However, I'm having a few issues when juggling 2 GEDcoms: 1) All the photos and thumbnails go to just 1 bucket, which can cause an issue if Ancestry's tagged 2 photos/censuses,etc with the same name, reference, one from each GEDcom. I've ended up with a couple media items from my people on her people or vice-versa. It would sure be nice if there was a way to have separate folders for each trees pics/references, etc. Am I missing a step/feature? 2) Speaking of photos/thumbnails, is there way to keep them in separate folders? I have over 15,000 "photos" at this point and growing which means the folder has over 30K items when thumbnails are added in, which makes it hard to look through and also slows the whole thing down. Ideas? Thanks for any help I can get. :) Kelly

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.

Hello everybody, I'm using TNG 13.0.3 together with the TNG Wordpress plugin and tried to install the OSM mod v13.0.0.7c. Unfortunately I can't install the mod correctly, please see my screenshot for the error messages. I found several threads of people having the same problem, but unfortunately the suggested solutions didn't help. I've disabled all other mods, but without results. I've set the permissions for the folder openstreetmap_v13.0.0.7c to 0755 and for the file openstreetmap_v13.0.0.7c to 0644. I also updated the file cust_text.php. The files are empty, is this right? Unfortunately I don't know, what these files are needed for. In the map-settings I've set OSM as the key name. Can someone tell me where the error could be? Thank you very much in advance! Andreas

Gooday Everyone. I'm new to this setting up google maps in tng. But here's what I've done so far. Searched the wiki, there's about a million references to google maps, but I found the getting started guide. Logged into my google account and made it to the google cloud platform. I created an api key and set the restrictions to http referrers both my live site and my local host. I enabled the 3 keys ( Maps JavaScript API , Geocoding API and Places API ). This where I get confused. Do I use the api key I generated for all this? I added the code to the map settings in admin and followed what it said in the guide. So now what do I do? what mod(s) do I need to install? Do I need to do more in my project at google? I hope someone could help me out here, in newbie terms. Like I said I'm totally new to this. The only experience I've had with google maps is getting driving directions somewhere. Any help here would be very much appreciated, JP EDIT: I found papa tango's google maps tutorial and followed it to the t and downloaded and installed the person map mod to do a little testing. If you have any more ideas/suggestions please feel free to let me know. Thanks

Is it possible not to have headstones in cemetery list, but just the link to the cemetery? I have created 6 cemeteries in Montréal region and the list is getting very long. And I need to create more. Also because we see the same headstones once we chose a specific cemetery, seeing those headstones in the list is redundant. Thanks Jean-Luc
