Hello all and hope everyone has had a very Happy Christmas and New Year! I was wondering if anyone may have some ideas on how I might go about having a separate media gallery just for my wife's photography. Something I could integrate into TNG using an iframe, use a third party photography cms on a subdomain, or just get a new domain for it and have a link to it from our TNG site. Your thoughts?

This is the third release of the templates NearDark2, NearDawn2, DayLight, and NightLight for TNG 14 and later. There is a single new feature: The list/menu in the Navigation pane now has a title that can be set and internationalized in template parameters. In addition, spacing issues between footer sections have been fixed, and font legibility has been improved in the administration pages. (Click any of the images for full-size previews): If you want to see these templates in action, one of the four is live on Lindell-Herndon Genealogy. Bill Herndon

Dear Friends, I am afraid I will keep seeking your help until I set up all my site. Using template 21, The background in this template is of one color, and I would like to set a texture for it. I have a tile image but do not know how or where to add it. The image in question is attached

A) I have a installed Public Access Control on my site, and now I am wondering if this is normal - The Default Photo, which normally replaces the Male or Female icon at the top is not visible - all we see is "Photos (Log In)". Is there a way to maintain the control over our media yet let the default photo Icon be displayed? Would installing the Default Phot Path app resolve that issue? B) Also with Public Access mod, it looks like this affects either the Default Photo only, or the first photo... As per the second picture. Any idea if that can also be fixed? Thanks

I am trying to use the Histories collection. Sometimes the content will display normally, other times only the title is displayed. So let's say I go Admin Home > Media > Add New, and try ti create an entry in collection "Histories". And for the sake of the example, I put text in the text box, fill the "Title" box, and click "Save and Continue". On the next page, I will set a media link to persons I1 and I100, and save. If I go to person I1, and click on the Histories link, the text will appear correctly. If I go to person 100, it does not display. Also, the footer is missing! Any idea? See the pictures attached. The first two show that the same text was linked to two individuals, #1 and #100. The third picture shows that for #1, the text appears, the links to all individuals are shown, and the footer is there. Not so much for individual #100, in the fourth picture; no text, no links, and no footer. Same media, two results. Why? WHY????

TNG versions 14.0.6 and 15.0.1 MySQL version 8.0.39-cll-lve Hello, folks, Firstly, I am aware that when doing upgrades from TNG 14.x to TNG 15.x, a special process needs to be run, to upgrade the database structure from TNG 14.x to TNG 15.x, particularly Step 7 in the TNG 15.x (from v.14.x) Upgrade Installation Instructions. In my situation, I did clean install of TNG 15.0.1 on my test site, and after I configured everything & imported my GEDCOM, I confirmed that everything looked good. I then did a Backup of my TNG 14.0.6 tables on my live site, and then I tried to restore some of those TNG 14.0.6 tables into TNG 15.0.1 on my test site , specifically the following tables: Albums Album Links Album Media Cemeteries DNA Groups DNA Links DNA Tests Image Tags Media Table Media Links Media Types Reports Some of you can already imagine what happened ... in my new TNG 15.0.1 installation, the Cemeteries displayed fine, as did Reports, but any time I tried to display a person, I was presented with the problem query, along with the following: My question is: is there any way that I can manually do something to change whatever needs to be done, so that those specific TNG 14.0.6 tables that I restored into TNG 15.0.1 can be recognized & useable in TNG 15.0.1? It is the upgrade_db14x-15x.php file that actually does the upgrade, but I don't understand anything in that file. Thanks in advance, and have yourselves a great day. Regards, John

It was a long time coming, but I've completed the 1st official releases of templates DayLight and NightLight for TNG 14 and later. These are entirely new templates built on a common framework that also supports templates NearDawn2 and NearDark2. In getting these to v14.0.0.1, I've fixed a number of issues with CSS in the administration and mod-manager pages and made a ton of improvements for mobile viewing. DayLight and NightLight have the same features as NearDark2 and NearDawn2 including: Contemporary style with larger, legible fonts, easily modified features and content sections, and removal of the problematic pull-down menus in favor of a footer section containing site links. Basic localization for Czech (CS), Danish (DA), Dutch (NL), English (EN), French (FR), German (DE), Italian (IT), Norwegian (NO), Polish (PL), Portuguese (Brazilian) (BR), Spanish (ES), and Swedish (SV). (Many thanks to Jan Bos for his Dutch localization strings!) Full translation for Spanish has been included as an example. Mobile-ready An abbreviated site menu that behaves as I intend with [Home] [Search] [Logout/Edit - Login] being permanent elements--[Print] and [Bookmark] remain optional and are selected in TNG options. Footer features which are used for copyright statements, "Contact Us" and information statement sections, and can be managed entirely within the template parameters. Example feature sections are fully populated from the TNG database. Template parameter switches that control the visibility of items in the Navigation menu: 'Mother's Family', 'Father's Family', 'Maternal Ancestors', 'Paternal Ancestors'. A built-in system and demonstration for creating additional pages that have the look and feel of the homepage. (I use this for my Terms of Service page on Lindell-Herndon Genealogy.) Below are previews of the home page and an individual page for DayLight (click for larger images): ... and for NightLight: Installation instructions are available from the TNG Wiki as are the download links.

Good morning from Georgia, USA. I had two DOMs fail to import today (an 1850 record did import). The 1930 DOM gave the error message below, which is substantially the same as the 1940-Harrell DOM error. (EDIT: same error with a 1900 census.) My error or an Ancestry change?

Citation Master V10 for TNG 15 is now available from the TNG Wiki. New Features: A new separator option, 'none', that basically suppresses field separators entirely--supports a form of concatenation between fields. Mod parameter values are now preserved across installations when the entire mod is not replaced. Media attached to citations are now displayed in the 'Sources' section of individual pages. This is a TNG feature that was originally adapted by Citation Master V8 for source media, but citation media were not displayed in that version. Now one or the other is displayed when enabled in mod parameters, with citation media having precedence. Bugs Fixed: Log messages left over from the introduction of the configuration caching mechanism have been removed. PHP 8.4 function deprecation warnings have been fixed. Other Changes: With this release, the administrator interface for editing format specifications has been removed. (The feature was always a security risk that needed to be addressed. Removal is simpler than adding additional security checks that would require support in the Mod Manager.) In place of the format specification editor, a simple function for reloading the current format specification has been implemented. This supports loading a specification into the mod when it has been changed outside of TNG. If you are running TNG 15.0, Citation Master V10 is optional but recommended. If you are running TNG 15.0.1, V10 is required. Finally, I will be back-porting this version of Citation Master to TNG 14. That release should be ready in about a week.

I had to create a new user for access to my website. The new user never received the e-mail sent from the add new user page. It ended up in spam. They sent me a copy of that email and no wonder it went to spam. So I created a new account for me (under a different name and e-mail address). Attached is what I received. Is there anyway to cleanup the format for what is sent? Thanks for your input. Mail - Paul McKnight - Outlook.pdf

Simple SEO V8 for TNG 15 is now available from on the TNG Wiki. It's been a long time since the last major release, and the accumulated TNG code changes forced me to rethink and refactor a lot of the code. New Features: A new option for date formats called "minimal" that strictly adheres to how TNG calculates and displays it's 'year only' dates like "(1914 - 1992)". (This feature resulted from a discussion with a TNG user who noted that sometimes TNG "rounds up" and "rounds down" years in response to imprecise dates.) New processing for the "short" and "long" date formats that adhere to the most current TNG calculation and display algorithms. (One thing to note here is that the "short" format remains the default but now includes the imprecise date markings such as "abt", "bef", and "aft". If these are not your preference, you may prefer the new "minimal" format.) Individual and Family IDs, when requested through the mod parameters, are now displayed on almost all tabs related to individuals and families, but remain absent in HTML headers in page titles. Bugs Fixed: The infamous "suggest.php" bug that was causing a blank page when executed from familychart.php Two bugs related to warnings generated by familygroup.php. Testing: With this release, I implemented a new set of testing procedures to ensure that all privacy options were covered--making sure that installations with Simple SEO function exactly the same as unmodified TNG installations. This release of Simple SEO has less code and should be more resistant to TNG changes from release to release, but...the expanded ID feature results in more files being touched by the mod, and this may result in mod conflicts. I would appreciate any reports of mod conflicts so that I can address them quickly. There is some testing that has been done here, but it's frankly never enough. Finally, I will be back-porting this version of Simple SEO to TNG 14, but please be patient with me. TNG 14 required 4 separate releases of Simple SEO. So the work may take a bit of time.

It looks like there is not a tag yet for tng-v15 which I'm on. There was a time that I was able to drag/organize media (pictures/documents) for an individual. Specifically photos and documents. Even when I click on media the only option is slide show. Has that moved or was it not included in 15 or am I just not seeing it? Thanks for your help.

I have two instances of TNG-v14. One is on-line and another in Localhost (Laragon). I am suddenly having export errors in the local install. The Admin page shows progress as Exporting GEDCOM...

Good day, I have TNG 14.0.2, Template 14, with modified colors and fonts. There is a multi-function box on the left side, below the heading, to log in or search names. What I'm trying to do is place a second box right below it to place links to pages and stories. I've been trying to find the exact insert point in the index.php file, with no success. Can anybody help? Thanks.

I have tried to add an Event type to a People record and the drop-down menu only displays a tick. I would like to add an ADDR field, but cannot see how to do it any other way? Any ideas please. Geoff

Hello all. I just did a new install of myPHPGuestbook. I can open it from TNG fine and I can get into the admin side fine, but after that, whatever changes I make in the admin control panel, I get the 403 Forbidden error, but the change would be saved. But the 403 error needs to go away. The guestbook is setup with the default permissions and is on my live site at Carolina Clans I know there's a few of you guys out there using this script, so if you know anything about this, please help a brother out! Another issue is: When testing the guestbook the entry is fine, but when I get the email from admin about the new guestbook entry it look like this: You have a new guestbook entry<br /><br />Posted on: 31.01.2025, 05:47<br /><br />Name: John<br />Place: <br />Country: <br />E-mail: jpjones55@gmail.com<br />Homepage: <br />Website rating: 0<br /><br />Posted entry:<br />-----------------------------------------------------------<br />Subject: Test<br /><br />Testing the guestbook<br /><br />-----------------------------------------------------------<br /><br />Block the guestbook entry? => <a href="https://carolinaclans.com/myPHPGuestbook/index.php?action=deactivate_entry&sperr_code=887eb42114fc7569b9e428dad4f93fb9">Click!</a><br /><br />

The second production release of templates NearDark2 and NearDawn2 for TNG 14 and later are available from the TNG Wiki.

When I add a child to a family, Save+Stay on the page and relaoad it, the child has dissapeared from the family. If I search the child among Persons, I find it and it sort of has a family but without id. If I try to find the family under Families, there is none to be found. Föräldrar = Parents Familj = Family TNG is installed on a local server, version 14.0.6. Installed from scratch in december. So far I have added 2100 people and it is only recently the problem has occured sometimes- but more and more frequently. Lately it is almost every person I try. It doesn't help to add a new person and browse to add. Usually I manage to add the person after some tries (about 2-5) by removing empty parents from person. Anyone else had the same problem and/or an idea how to solve this?

Is there a way (mod) to limit the search for person for a day. After 25 searches you will get a message and the site will be closed. This is ment as prevention in case many people are searching at the same time and the site will be slow.

I used a mod in TNG V. 11 to suppress the term "Natural" for individuals, as I was told this suggested the individuals were illegitimate. I just upgraded to TNG V. 14 and this mod no longer works. Is there an updated version available or in the works?

I found NearDark2 interesting but trying to download I get this message. Greetings, Niels Access Denied You do not have permission to view this page. Please check your credentials and try again. Error Code: 403

Good morning, I'm sorry if this question has already been answered. I searched the forums and WIKI without finding the answer. I have a database of more than 145,000 records with a few thousand media (obitums). The working file for our genealogist is Brother's Keeper. I exported to Gedcom, imported with MFT to correct some wrong date formats, exported the Gedcom and then processed with TNG. Everything works very well :-). With TNG, we have all the media we don't have in Brother's Keeper. So I want to export this gedcom and the media to recover them with MacFamilyTree and restart. Yes, we have this utility that I have already used in the past. When I click on "Export" nothing seems to happen. Is there one thing I don't understand. Thank you for your help and congratulations to the TNG community. I have rarely seen such dynamism in these volunteer exchanges. Jean-Pierre L. Quebec

Hello, All - I am very new to TNG and in the midst of setting up and configuring my site. I am using v14.0.5 and am a user of Family Tree Maker 2019. One of my first tasks was to import a GEDCOM file of my tree data I exported from FTM. That went well as I have a numerical match between TNG and FTM. I've also imported of all the media tied to the tree - records, images, etc. and see them in the tree. What is not appearing are the default photos for any individual except myself (see attached screenshot). I have many photos assigned to individuals within FTM, but I am having no luck getting them to appear on my site. I've attempted to run the Assign Default Photos function (with "Overwrite..." selected), but it only (re)places my own photo in the tree. I have been hunting through the available resources to educate myself, but have to admit that I am a bit stuck and uncertain how to tackle this hiccup. Might anyone with more experience have any suggestions or guidance they can share? Many thanks in advance, Brian https://www.sistermanfamily.com UserName: Guest_SFam Password: (same as user name)

For those who want to use the Simple SEO mod under TNG 14.0 and TNG 14.0.1 will recieve a "Cannot install" This error can be mitigated by changing line 239 of the cfg file. Change: $headline = $text['suggestchange'] . ": $name"; into: $headline = $text['suggestchange'] . ": $name"; by placing 1 extra "tab" in front of the line. @Bill Herndon is it possible to update the cfg file so it will install properly? Hope this helps
