One source of frustration for promoting my TNG templates and mods is that I've never had a place to demonstrate them, for gathering together feature information, or for providing guides on installation and use. Now I've solved that problem. I've owned the domain eGenea.com for many years, and now that domain serves as a portal for all my TNG-related work. I'm planning on adding a lot in the coming weeks, but in the short term the most interesting part is the live demonstrations, with fully functional databases, of my four 'drop-in' TNG templates--much better than checking my templates out on Lindell-Herndon Genealogy where I'm limited to one template at a time. As I add templates, guides, and mods, I'll update the site and announce the changes here. Keep an eye out for a comprehensive installation and usage guide for Citation Master which I developed a few years ago but never published. The site itself is supported by WordPress. The TNG template demonstration sites run on TNG 15.0.4 and use a sample database that used to be provided with Reunion for macOS. - Bill Herndon eGenea Lindell-Herndon Genealogy

Or: How Scotland’s christenings got their day, the flags learned to share, and England’s white field finally found its edges. Hello my Knights of the Tangled Tree! 🎉 Did you miss me? I sure missed y'all! I know I've been quiet, but I've been working on a couple of very large projects. So much for retirement being quiet and easy. lol Chapter One ended with flying flags, surviving settings, and a database that finally earned its keep. Chapter Two picks up where we left off and it brought friends. v15.0.4.7 is here. And for the first time for open testing, is v13.2.1.2, because nobody gets left behind at this table. Grab your favorite beverage. This is a big one. 14 updates, new features, and fine tuning. 🧪 Calling All Testers — New Knights Welcome This is a testing release. I need people to break things, find edge cases, and tell me what looks wrong. If you’ve never tested a mod before, this is a great one to start with. It doesn’t change your data. It doesn’t touch your trees. It decorates a heading with a flag. The worst thing that can happen is a flag doesn’t show up, or shows up in the wrong place — and that’s exactly what I need to hear about. What I especially need tested: Diagonal split on different screen sizes and templates The christening/baptism fallback — does it pick up the right flag for pre-civil-registration records? Marriage and events fallback — can you find a person with no birth/death data but a marriage place, and does the flag show? Print popup — is >> Print << clickable for everyone? v13 users — does everything work as expected on TNG 13? Report bugs here in this thread or if you're shy you can message me directly. Screenshots are worth a thousand words. A URL to a person page where the flag is wrong is worth ten thousand. ⬇ Downloads At the bottom of this post. I'll update the Wiki of Doom after testing: Heritage Flags v15.0.4.7 — Wiki page Install order reminder: Relation Display (if used) FIRST, then Heritage Flags. Install Heritage Flags BEFORE Simple SEO (if used). Research tools menu dropdown fix already included. 🏰 Two Versions, One Kingdom Heritage Flags is shipping for TNG 15 and TNG 13. One of our quietest Knight, has been running Heritage Flags on TNG 13 from the beginning. He tested features before anyone else saw them, and his feedback shaped how the mod works today. The v13 backport is built, tested, and ready. TNG 14? I don’t have a TNG 14 installation. I jumped from v13 to v15, so I can’t guarantee it works there. If you’re running 14 and feeling adventurous, let me know how it goes, but I can’t officially support it. Sorry, 14. I still love you. 💛 🗄 The Great Table Rename Remember those four database tables? They had a naming problem. They were called tng_clan_hf_* but tng_ should be reserved for TNG core tables. Our mod tables should use the clan_ prefix. Just so you know what is do what in your database. Fixed. All four tables are now properly named clan_hf_settings, clan_hf_person_flags, clan_hf_mappings, and clan_hf_local. You don’t have to do anything. The migration runs automatically on first load after upgrading. Your data stays exactly where it is. The tables just get new, correct names. One RENAME TABLE, no data copied, no data lost. 💾 Your Flags Are Now Backed Up @marcirish Heritage Flags tables now appear in Admin → Utilities → Backup/Restore alongside all your TNG core tables. Same buttons, same workflow — backup, restore, optimize, download. Four new rows. Four new .sql files in your backup folder. Four fewer things to worry about. 🖨 The Print Link Lives Again @geraldomeier The flag overlay was covering the >> Print << link in the print popup. You could see it. You could hover over it. You could not click it. Fixed. No flag, no wrapper, no min-height, no interference. The heading renders exactly as if the mod wasn’t installed. Print link works. The flags know when to get out of the way. 📖 Pre-government documentation Our quietest Knight told me something important: in Scotland before civil registration began in 1855, there were no birth certificates. Parish records recorded christenings. If you’re doing Scottish genealogy (and I am), the christening place is often the only location data you have. Heritage Flags now checks places in this order: Birth → Christening / Baptism → Death → Marriage → Events (dated only, oldest first) Previously it was just birth and death with some fallbacks thrown in. Now the mod walks through every available place field, and only queries the database for marriage and events if the person-level fields all come up empty. Performance stays the same for the common case (birth place exists), and people with sparse records finally get their flags. 🚫 The Quiet Flag — Suppress Per Person Sometimes no flag is the right answer. A person of disputed origin. A record too uncertain to assign a country. A test record you don’t want decorated. Check Suppress flag in Edit Person → Heritage Flag Override. Save. Done. No flag renders — no place lookup, no geocode, no logo fallback. Clean heading. The person still has their override stored in the database, so you can find and undo it anytime from the Personal Overrides tab. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿The Diagonal Split — Two Flags, One Life @^maikl11 and everyone This is the showpiece of Chapter Two. Enable Diagonal Split Flags in Settings, and people who were born in one country and died in another get both flags — birth flag in the top-left triangle, death flag in the bottom-right triangle, split along a clean diagonal. Born in England, died in America? St George’s Cross meets the Stars and Stripes. Born in Scotland, died in New Zealand? The Saltire meets the Silver Fern. The flags are positioned as recognizable images within each triangle, not stretched background fills. A new Split Image Size % setting (default 30%) lets you dial the size up or down from the Settings page. And a subtle CSS drop-shadow gives white-edged flags like England and Japan just enough definition to read against a white page — without adding visible borders to flags that don’t need them. Recommended settings: Flag Width % = 55 Fade Gradient = 0 (if you leave on it fades both images) Contain Mode Tint = 0 Split Image Size % = 30% Smart fallbacks: Same birth and death country? → Single whole flag (no point splitting identical flags) Only birth OR only death available? → Single whole flag from whichever resolved Neither available? → Falls through to the full priority chain (marriage, events, logo fallback) Per-person opt-out: If split is enabled site-wide but you want a single flag for one specific person, check Disable split in their Edit Person override. They get a single flag; everyone else keeps the diagonal. I might make an option for top/bottom flags that are smaller. 😊🧠😏 ⚙ Settings Got Organized The Settings tab was getting long. It’s now grouped into four labelled sections: Flag Display — transparency, width, fade, height, sizing mode, tint Image Source — CDN vs local, paths, extension, logo fallback Diagonal Split — on/off toggle and image size Admin Preferences — rows per page Same settings, same values, same Save button. Just easier to find what you’re looking for. 📐 The Collapsed Panel @KB71 The Heritage Flag Override section in Edit Person now starts collapsed. Click the header to open it, pick your flag, click Save — the mod shows you the result for 3 seconds, then collapses the panel automatically. Clean, quiet, out of the way until you need it. 🎨 Not Just Flags — Your Heading, Your Rules Here’s a secret: Heritage Flags doesn’t care if your image is a flag. The Local Flags tab and Flag Mappings accept any image URL — SVG, PNG, JPG, WebP, whatever your browser can render. Map a custom code to any image you host, and that image becomes the heading banner for anyone who matches. Some ideas people have actually done (or threatened to do): 🛡 Coats of arms — map clan-campbell to your hosted clan crest. Assign it via Edit Person or Flag Mappings. 🌄 Landscapes — a photo of the Yorkshire Dales behind anyone born in Yorkshire. A Highland glen for the Scots. The Statue of Liberty for the New Yorkers. ⛪ Parish churches — the actual church where your ancestor was christened, fading behind their name. 🧬 DNA haplogroup markers — because someone out there will do it, and I respect that. 🏦 Castle ruins — map a place name to a photo of the castle that used to stand there. 🐱 Cat photos — I won’t judge. Your site, your ancestors, your cats. The mod handles opacity, fade, sizing, and positioning for you. Just point it at an image and let it work. Use Flag Mappings to tie a place name to your custom code, or use Edit Person to assign it to one individual. The diagonal split even works with custom images — coat of arms on one side, landscape on the other. Go wild. Tip: Images with strong, dark, saturated colors work best through the fade gradient. Light backgrounds and pale colors tend to disappear. Test in both cover and contain mode before publishing. @ajnsmits 🧹 Spring Cleaning While I were in there I optimized and rechecked security: Removed a stale include for a config file that hasn’t existed since v15.0.4.6a Removed an unused variable that was defined but never referenced Removed dead settings-loading code that loaded values and then threw them away Cleaned up legacy config migration paths to only look where config files actually existed All of this is invisible to you but makes the codebase cleaner for future development 🗺 The Road Ahead v15.0.4.8 — The Great Migration The 490+ hardcoded place-to-flag mappings move from a PHP array to a database table. This unlocks ISO 3166-2 subdivision codes — state and regional flags resolved automatically, not just through manual mappings. A new Bulk Update tab lets you batch-apply subdivision flags for an entire country. This is the foundation for everything that comes after. Phase 3 — Historic Flags Era-correct flags based on a person’s dates. A person born in 1850 in what is now Germany sees a Prussian flag, not the modern tricolour. This is a companion mod that requires Heritage Places infrastructure and won’t start until v15.0.4.8 is solid. And the Knights we haven’t met yet, the ones reading this, thinking “maybe I’ll try it.” You’re next. Pull up a chair. The flags are flying. 🏴 The flags fly because of all of you. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 LeAnna Heritage_Flags_v15_0_4_7.zip Heritage_Flags_v13_2_1_2.zip

Have just released the Bot Warning Hander mod. From the article's description: It detects and excludes PHP Warnings for known Bots from PHP's error log. if Prolog is installed, no bot warnings are displayed. This puts better focus on non-Bot versus Bot PHP warnings. Optionally, detected bot warnings are stored in botwarnlog.txt. A Session Shield Edit Option permits excluding global $_SESSION related warnings from botwarnlog.txt. Additionally, all Bot-UA (user-agent) activity/requests is stored in botlog.txt. A Bot Log viewer is provided view both log files. The mod is compatible with the Guardian, Bot Manager, Customized Logs III and Prolog mods, as well as TNG's Showlog mod. Ron

The 4th release of the templates NearDark2 and NearDawn2 are now available for TNG 15.0 and later. I can read about the updated look-and-feel, new mobile support, responsive design, and other features in this article. (Click for a larger preview.) The v3 templates are only compatible with TNG 15.0 and later due to updates in how TNG's mobile mode is handled. If you want to see one of these templates in action, either NearDark2, NearDawn2, DayLight or NightLight (depending on my mood ) is active on Lindell-Herndon Genealogy. Below are some screenshots of how the new floating nav bar and mobile mode look when active (for NightLight and DayLight but NearDark2 and NearDawn2 are similar). You can download the .zip packages here or from the TNG Wiki: NearDark2 v15.0.0.3 NearDawn2 v15.0.0.3 Remember that these templates need the eGenea Support Mod for loading language strings and the Template Manager for loading the template configuration.

The 4th release of the templates DayLight, and NightLight are now available for TNG 15.0 and later. Although cosmetically v15.0.0.3 doesn't change much--the look-and-feel is largely the same--there are some big changes under the covers, and some cool new features for your site. I've spent a lot of time improving the mobile layout and finally (after a lot of trial and error) solved the issue of presenting the navigation bar on TNG detail pages. (Click for a larger preview.): Here are the new and updated features: All of the table-based formatting has been removed in favor of flex and grid boxes (a much more modern coding standard). What this means is the templates respond much better to changes in the browser's width, scaling and repositioning seamlessly and automatically. The right-side navigation bar can now be revealed on a TNG detail page (such as getperson.php or browsesources.php). Look for the hamburger icon that appears in the content section when you switch to a detail page. This even works on mobile devices where it's important not to clutter the content sections with the navigation bar. Responsive design for mobile is greatly improved, and I've even managed to integrate my mobile upgrades with the TNG mobile mode. This is important because TNG's mobile mode makes changes to the content sections of pages, reducing the size of diagrams and tables to accommodate mobile devices. I've added some new icons that are more indicative of what they do. There's now a "scroll-to-the-top" icon in the footer. I'm now going to go back and make the similar updates to NearDark2 and NearDawn2. Unfortunately, due to a number of changes in how TNG processes headers and footers, I cannot port these new templates to TNG 14. So the v3 templates are only compatible with TNG 15.0 and later. If you want to see these templates in action, either DayLight or NightLight (depending on my mood ) is active on Lindell-Herndon Genealogy. Below are some screenshots of how the new template looks at 'mobile' size and with the floating nav bar visible. You can download the .zip packages here or from the TNG Wiki: DayLight v15.0.0.3 NightLight v15.0.0.3 Remember that these templates need the eGenea Support Mod for loading language strings and the Template Manager for loading the template configuration.

1) Many places don't show .long and .lat, but still bring up the right place when the "white on purple arrow" is clicked 2) Maps are shown with numbers 1 , 2 ... on a pink tick mark. When clicking on those tick marks a Google map is shown that would try to indicate the route from my location to that place. Strange!

This is a decoration for your person page. I don't have all flags cataloged in the script, but the source has a lot more. You do not need to upload any media, but you do need a live internet connection to see the flags. Heritage Flags Wiki to download Currently included: British Isles Eastern Europe Southern Europe Western Europe Scandinavia Historical European North America US States Central & South America Africa Middle East Asia Oceania British Colonies / Historical English counties Scottish counties Welsh counties Irish counties The concept of a country, as it pertains to country flags, can vary based on different criteria and perspectives. The id is based on Countries defined in ISO 3166-1 standards. I'm not going to make any judgement calls on which flags will or will not be included. The inclusion of certain nations should not be interpreted as a political statement, as an endorsement of specific national claims or political views. Works with: Relations Display (must be installed first) Count Visible Ancestors and Descendants This is Phase 1 - See the modern flags based on a person's place data A few historic flags, but depends on place data is presented Option to make the name plate taller to show more or shorter to show less of the flag Option to choose opaqueness Option to choose the amount of fade Phase 2 - Display historic flags, when available, based on person's places with years (e.g. Birth, Death, Christening/Baptism, Burial, Events) Phase 3 - Display options for the flag Option to suppress for a person to not display any flag Option to display State or County flags instead of country flags, when available Option to cut the flag in half diagonally Top left corner to display the person flag at birth Bottom right corner to display the person's flag at death Phase 4 - Ideas from others, if feasible, to include Thank you to the testers and the fixers for this, my first publicly shared mod for TNG.

Geocoding and maps are mistaken on https://francisfranck.com/TNG Geocoding has attributed the same lat. and long. to all my places. All the maps also refer to the same place.

In some cases the following message may appear when the Safe External Links mod (V15.0.0.4) is used in combination with Open Street Map (OSM) This is due to the fact that OSM in some cases needs a referrer which is blocked by the mod and therefor generates the 403r error. I'm currently working on a solution to mittigate the error. Release most likely somewhere next week. Since I don't use Google maps I wonder if the error is also generated when using Google Maps. So if there are users who use my mod in combination with Google Maps, please lt me know if you also see the 403r error.

Hi all! 👋 Long time watcher in the shadows, first time poster. I’ve been using TNG since 2003, off and on. Apparently, I was just letting my ancestors age gracefully before I caught up with them. 🥁 (don't worry I have more terrible jokes in the post) I officially retired three weeks ago. Three. Whole. Weeks. Hopefully, several hundreds more to enjoy! 😁 Now I have time on my hands, which is apparently very dangerous when you have relatives and opinions about how the family site works, and comments of 'oh you know how to fix that'. I haven’t slept much since retirement, and honestly… it’s glorious. My great-#-o'many grandparents didn’t cross oceans for me to waste time watching daytime TV. I'm thinking about making these updates into mods to share. I haven't dived into the Mod Manager yet, other than to use y'alls creations! Relation Display and Historic Places, I'm looking you! 🤩 I would deeply love feedback. Encouragement welcome. Gentle discouragement welcome. If I’m about to accidentally create a fourth cousin relationship vortex without a TARDIS, please tell me ... nicely. I'm just showing few projects right now. These work, not pretty but are the closest to possible mod ready. I have some others that the idea is more ambituses than the want. Maybe, someday, not. First thing I did, for my site, was move my passwords and delicates outside of public_html and point it to a secrets file. It feels safer, but its going to make future upgrades interesting. I also built a simple PROD-to-DEV cloning tool. It has already saved me twice. Which is good, because sometimes I click things with the same confidence my co-researchers (aka family) had when they wrote down grandma's birth year “from memory.” It can also migrate back to PROD after everything has been tested. Cross-References to online site, and FamilySearch consolidation. I’ve always wanted a clean way to cross-reference my TNG people with other sites and have those links auto-display right on the Person view page on a single line. So I built that. (see pic) I also started using FamilySearch IDs for merging because… well… if you’ve worked in shared trees lately, you know it can feel like playing genealogical Whac-A-Mole. Now that the FamilySearch PID lives in tng_person table, I can also use it as part of the OOB merge process. I added a new merge option that shows duplicates based on the same FamilySearch ID. (see pic) The big, ugly, green button is to a report to how me how many duplicates I have. The top of the report has a summary: Tree Statistics: 129,063 total people | 119,908 with FamilySearch PIDs | 527 duplicate PID groups found Still needs to be prettier and blend better with TNG themes, but it’s working. Relations Display Mod Update I love the existing Relations Display mod. LOVE it. What made me sad what how long it took to calculate on some of my pages. So I added relationship caching. Now once OOB relationship is calculated, it’s stored. No more recalculating your connection to your wife’s cousin’s husband’s aunt every time you move between pages. Even if you change the default person, it's fine. It will recalculate and remember the relationship. There’s also a recalc URL if I update something. Because I'm update something daily now. This one cracked me up... It's my mom. Research Status Indicator I added a research status indicator. It’s basic right now, but it works. If you use the RootsMagic sync (below), it can auto-update the status based on what you’ve confirmed or found. It’s surprisingly satisfying to see someone move from “Needs review” to “Verified.” RootsMagic | TNG Sync (Work in Progress) This is the big one. Imports your RootsMagic GEDCOM into staging tables only. Non-destructive. Your TNG data stays untouched unless you confirm changes. Added a RM-UID to the tng_person table so RM and TNG know exactly who is who. Auto-matching first by FamilySearch PID, then by exact name + birth/death year. Side-by-side comparisons with field differences and family context. Conflict resolution when multiple candidates match. Manual linking when auto-match fails. Tracks rejections so the same wrong match doesn’t keep popping back up. Discrepancy report to show where RM might have better data. Unmatched report listing RM-only people as potential additions. Can create new TNG records from unmatched RM data. Everything is logged. Nothing changes in TNG until you explicitly confirm it. Basically, it lets me review things calmly instead of discovering six accidental duplicates at 1:30 AM and questioning how many times I clicked the import button 3 years ago. Office Administration One of my pet peeves is when names get crowded with titles, royal styles, and everything else. “Sir Lord King Duke Bob III Esq.” starts to look like a parade banner. So I created an Office tracker. You can define any office: Royal, Noble, Military, Religious, Civic, Club, etc. Make new ones. Each office can have its own custom attributes, and they only display if populated. The display is expand/collapse enabled and remembers for logged in users. Anyway… Would love your thoughts. Looking forward to finally stepping out of the shadows! 👻

I've been having all sorts of issues with MAMP on my silicon Mac for months now...php crashes, app crashes etc. I've read a lot on how to resolve the issues, but they all seem to last for a very short time....so I went looking for a free alternative...and boy did I find one... https://www.servbay.com Available for Mac and PC by the looks of things. You can have up to 5 local sites running for free from what I read. It took me only about an hour to get set up..and that was just adjusting the TNG config settings correctly. I was thinking I might write up a 'how to' for the wiki, but I'm short of time...and then as I started taking screenshots to write up something, I spotted their help pages...and stopped writing. Well documented material support! Am about to delete MAMP and am very happy with how ServBay is running. Two useful links (well they were for me) if you want to give it a go... https://support.servbay.com/basic-usage/websites/adding-first-website https://support.servbay.com/database-management/getting-started/mysql-management-and-usage

For those interested. As of today there's a new mod available named Bot Manager It was created by @Steve1200 and adds an extra line of defense against abusive bots that create heavy traffic and slow down your website. This TNG mod was written to address unrestricted bot access and has options block all access, allow limited access or selective bot access and works with Google reCaptcha v2 or the Image Captcha mod.

Hello everyone, I'm currently having trouble uploading a GEDCOM file. It's taking several hours (including multiple clicks on "Continue") to import the people. So far (2 hours), 18,000 people out of 49,000 and 7,900 out of approximately 15,500 images have been uploaded. The images are uploaded, but they aren't being linked to all the people. I've also tried using an empty database. Why is this taking so long? Thank you for your help

On both of my sites I am now getting the message that "This page can't load Google Maps correctly," with a darkened image of the map. I'm not sure where to look for the error with this. Derrick

Seeking **paid remote assistance** from someone experienced with **The Next Generation of Genealogy Sitebuilding (TNG)** and standard PHP/MySQL hosting. My TNG website is my main family history archive, with many branches, photos, documents, and written histories. The live site is hosted with **EASYSolutions** using **cPanel with Softaculous**, phpMyAdmin, and File Manager/FTP. TNG is running there now and the site is actively managed, including backups and file downloads, but server and database work are outside my comfort zone. On my end, a **Mac Studio (M3 Ultra, 4 TB SSD, 68 GB RAM)** is available, and the goal is a **fully working local copy** of the TNG site on this Mac, plus a clear archive (files + SQL backup + short README) that family or a future host could restore on another server. ## Current local setup MAMP’s Apache, PHP, and MySQL are installed and working, matching what TNG needs for a local copy. - A working local web server at `localhost:8888` (Apache + PHP). - A working MySQL server with known connection details: host `localhost`, port `8889`, user `root`, password `root`. I need someone to: 1) Export the full TNG MySQL database and download all TNG application and media files using cPanel/phpMyAdmin/File Manager (or equivalent tools on the host). 2) Install and configure this TNG copy under MAMP on the Mac Studio so that the site runs locally with working media, histories, and admin functions. 3) Create a README describing the archive contents and explaining how to restore the site to another web server in the future (including database import and config updates). Work will be **remote with screen sharing** (Zoom or TeamViewer (preferred, already installed)), and the preference is to complete this **as soon as possible**. If interested, please reply with your TNG (or similar PHP/MySQL migration) experience, an estimated time to complete, and your fee.

Just wondering if some clever person has an effective way of spell checking their TNG site? My site is hidden and a Reunion (Mac software) GEDCOM import, but Reunion uses a Mac’s inbuilt spelling, which I have not been able to fan of for a long time. I was viewing my site today and noticed some careless typos I had added in, in notes and also just things like photo captions. At the moment, I’ve taken to exporting a GEDCOM file and am using a word processing app (Pages on a Mac) to spell check…but is there some easier way? For example, is there a good GEDCOM file viewer that has a great spell checker included? Any tips appreciated. I’ve already checked the Reunion site and didn’t get any useful solution there. PS…I’m looking for a global spell checking solution…not a ‘check as you type’ solution

After some discussion on the Sources and their significance I decided to develop a Mod that makes the changes considered there. If you have any comments regarding this Mod, feel free to share them in this thread.

Hello! New TNG user here. I've put the media on my computer in folders matching the collections in TNG. I've linked all media in FTM, making sure that the path goes to those folders. I've created the collections in TNG and under "edit" (collection) I've set the local path to match that in the gedcom I've also set the local path under setup > import settings. The media itself is sitting in folders on my server that match the collection titles. However, all media links are somehow coming in as photos. Any advice? Thanks in advance! Edit: I'm being a luddite and put this in the wrong area but can't change it - this is on a server, not a home computer install.

It's been a while since I attempted to import a GEDCOM file into my site. I uploaded the file via FTP and went into TNG and went to select it. On both Safari and Firefox (on my Mac) clicking the select button just caused a new blank tab to appear in my browser? I can't figure out why. There was an easy workaround...I deleted the uploaded file and used the file select button, to upload from my Mac and import all in one go, but I'm trying to figure out why I can't select the GED file when it's been FTP'd. This is with TNG 15.0.3

TNG 15.0.2 Hello, folks, Would it be possible to somehow create a TNG report that lists all places in my TNG database, but have it displayed in reverse order? Rather than try to explain it, here is an example (generated by Legacy) of what I'm talking about: And although not a necessity, it would be nice if each of the above lines included a hyperlink to each. Would that be doable? Or would anyone already have such a report? Thanks in advance. Regards, John

As promised earlier I can hereby announce the release of my very first mod Safe External Links - TNG_Wiki This TNG modification causes all TNG page external links to open in a new Window or Tab with the noopener attribute. The noopener attribute increases security by preventing third-party control of the browser tab. Hope you enjoy it.

Hello, Just a heads up on an TNG15 issue I encountered regarding admin branch creation and branch labels. I have alerted Darrin to the issue and the situation under which it occurs. If you have branch ID's with at least two matching consecutive characters, processing of labels will or might affect both branches instead of the one. In my case, I had two ID's, one was 'ekm' and another 'km'. Once i avoided the matching characters, the processing worked normally. Darrin had said someone else had reported an issue with label creation as well, but this was before I tested and found out what I had to do to avoid the problem. Darrin's response: Ah, thanks Ron. Yes, that's a semi-intentional feature that allows you to grant a user access to more than one branch. In this case it unintentionally bit you though. Sorry about that, but I'm glad you figured it out. Darrin also stated this is not documented anywhere. Ron

I'm currently rewriting all my citations in order to make them APA-7 compliant. APA-7 states that there shouldn't be a period behind the hyperlink but TNG adds this period to a citation by default. Anyone an idea how to remove the period at the end of the hyperlink? I will also address this to Darrin for a possible update in the next TNG version

Can anyone confirm this issue I ran into. My site is multilingual (English & Dutch). When looking at the the person page, while the language is set to Dutch, all dates are translated correct, but when I look at the admin_editperson.php or admin_editfamily.php the dates are still presented in English. Not sure if this applies to other languages too.
