After months of languishing on the back burner, I' ve managed to complete a simple widget which logs in toTNG using Wordpress credentials (user name or user email) . You may try this widget out by downloading Beta version from here. I have been using @HeatherFeuer's widget for more than 6 years. When WPTNG Frontend User Functions 3.0 (for TNG V10) came along, it needed Wordpress to be in root directory to allow @klooster method for integrating WP & TNG. I was too stubburn to change my configuration so I stayed with TNG Frontend User Functions 2.0, TNG V9.2.2 and Mark Barnes integration plugin. I have TNG Version 10.1.3 running on my test site since 2015 but did not upgrade my live site until last month. I have been using Mark Barnes integration plugin for over six years without (virtually) no issues but on upgrade to TNG 10.1.3, last moth, I have failed miserably to get this to work. Integrating Wordpress is really a very simple and obvious answer is to just replace TNG headers and footers with Wordpress ones. It is so simple and obvious that it needs a genious to actually think of it and implement it. Cees Kloosterman is that genious. Thanks @klooster. (Now, what we really need is a simple script that installs topmenu, footer, meta and index files in relevant places) I have successfully converted my live site to CK method and my wp-tng login widget is working successfully on my live and my test site I would ike to share wh yo thiswidget. It is working very well with CK integration method. I have not been able to install Mark Barnes method of integration on my test site but I doubt if widget will work with this plugin. Let me know you think. I have just released v2.01. Rather than continuing with this thread, I have put Details in new thread.

Quick Guide: Implement Google Analytics Using meta.php [Last updated: 05-28-2015] Any corrections/modifications welcome.  Hope this might help someone. Create a Google Analytics [GA] account and add your url to obtain your customized GA tracking code. Create a file (preferably using Notepad++ or another html editor) and name it“analyticsTracking.php” and paste the GA tracking code into it.  It should look something like this: <script type="text/javascript"> var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www."); document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E")); </script> <script type="text/javascript"> var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("INSERT YOUR ID HERE"); pageTracker._trackPageview(); </script> <?php // End Analytics tracking code ?> Place “analyticsTracking.php” file in the same directory as “meta.php”. Give “analyticsTracking.php” the following permissions: 644 (i.e. -rw-rw-r--) Edit “meta.php”, by adding the following line: <?php include_once("analyticstracking.php") ?> Your meta.php should end up looking like this: <?php     global $cms; ?> <?php include_once("analyticstracking.php") ?>     

I occasionally use foreign characters (German, Polish, Swedish, etc) with various diacritical marks. The diacriticals show up correctly on some TNG pages, but not on others. Shown below is a case where the diacriticals are formed correctly on the Admin>Places page (top), but when the place name appears on an individual person page they are garbled (bottom). I am, at best, and intermediate TNG user but can usually follow directions. The website from which the images were taken is www.fausak.org. Any suggestions about how to solve this problem while keeping the diacriticals? Thanks in advance. Lee Fausak

Hi all, I just installed TNG to a test server in my home today so that I can play around with it prior to going live. After my usual pains with getting Linux file permissions correct, I'm up and running. I tried creating a report using a SQL query, but it appears that perhaps not all SQL syntax is supported? I've attached two screenshots which include the SQL queries attempted. This first report properly displays the names and counts. There are 1634 different last names in this file. However, if I try to name the columns as in the following query, it leaves the rows blank (but notice that it does show the correct number of rows). This query works fine from the MySQL command line. Just curious, did TNG ever support naming of columns from the SQL statement using "SELECT column AS 'name'" syntax? I did notice that TNG adds "Limit 50" to the end of the SQL statement for pagination, so I can't really limit it to the top 100 names (at least without some more thought, trial, and error). None of this is a big deal, I'm just trying to learn as much as I can, including any limitations. I'm loving what I'm seeing thus far! And, this will give me an excuse to learn a little PHP along the way. Thanks, Dave

What is the most efficient way to update your family tree? i have imported my family tree from ancestry.com. Since then I have updated information on the tree in Ancestry.com. So now I would like to upload the new information to my website without importing a lot of redundant information. Do most TNG users work directly in their websites for their research? As you can tell I am a complete greenhorn but really want to learn! any constructive help would be appreciated Leslie

I have a new site using Avada Theme Builder with TNG. I see the notice for an Avada patch. Should I check, "Apply Patch?" Anything I should be aware of?

Hello there ! After a few years away from using TNG, I want to get back to using it to share my project with family and friends. Since I have a new Windows 10 PC, I have to reinstall everything, but I had saved installation notes from a few years back, so I thought I was good to go. The plan is to install same as before : version 10 with XAMPP as a local server. - I downloaded TNG version 10.1.3 and XAMPP. Made sure that I have alle the rights to the folders where the software is installed. - I extracted TNG files and folders. - XAMPP installation went well, only had to modify Apache httpd.conf to select the TNG folder. Then I created a genealogy database in MySQL with UTF-8 collation. - I started XAMPP, opened a browser window, entered "localhost" and the TNG installation window appeared. - I chose Express Installation, Steps 1-2-3 went well - I changed the language setting to French UTF-8, clicked "save", and I got the message " Please wait, attempting to process... " and the installation hangs - If I don't change the language setting and try to establich the database connection, I get the same message. I can't figure out where the problem commes from. If someone can give me hints about what's going on, I would appreciate it. Thanks ! Luc

Hi All, I have just installed the paternal and maternal line mod on my site ( tng ver 10.1) and it installed fine but when I click on either the paternal or maternal tab I get this error message. "Fatal error: Call to undefined function tng_num_rows() in /home/paddyhor/public_html/xerxxIndividPaternalLine.php on line 48". Any help would be greatly appreciated Patrick

I very recently started creating a website primarily for genealogy. http://floreenreed.com/ The web host installed the TNG v12 software for me, and I’ve uploaded my GEDCOM file, a few pictures, and some family stories. I’d like to be able to create more pages of text etc. than is allowed with the TNG software. I’m thinking about using WordPress. I’m just a newbie and am learning as I go. Would you recommend I back up and start from scratch with WordPress and then add a TNG plugin? I’m not even using the correct terminology. In my mind, I’m don’t know if the two work side by side, or should WordPress or TNG work secondary to the other? I’ve read some of the treads on this community, but most of them are more technical than my beginner mind can understand. Any help or suggestion would be very welcome.

Hello lovely people, I'm sorry if this has been posted before but I have tried various combinations of question in the search engine with no result. I am transcribing part of the 1939 UK National identity register, the transcription is as is on the original. I am using a Custom Event Type for the Register. I have transcribed 619 families so far with over 1,600 people with 575 places associated with them. My problem is that when I search by place (address) to see who lives there I get no results. Have I forgotten to set something in settings somewhere or do I have to manually enter something else for the association to happen? Many thanks for your help with this. stay safe Wyndham

Morning all I have three separate databases on my TNG Software but there are some families I have identified that should be in the one particular database "A" that I want to be in database "B" - is there a way of moving the people without having to recapture them all? thanks in advance Heather

Message sent in red writting Not receiving any messages. Please could anybody advise Recently updated from Tng 9.9 to 10.0 upgrade Thanks in advance Rafik

I have just noticed an issue with my live site that was not an issue a while ago. I have changed a few thing since I last know it was working, so I cannot yet identify what has caused it. Before I spend more time delving, I wondered if anyone else has found the same problem, or has any ideas. I use Chrome but I see the the same issue with Edge. The site uses TNG v.10.1.2; WordPress 4.4.1, Suffusion 4.4.8, and the WP/TNG Integration Mod. You can see the issue at http://www.hcnhistory.org.uk/blank-for-people/timeline2.php?primaryID=I25813&tree=hcn&chartwidth= - the Simile timeline is blank, although everything else seems OK. The plain TNG version is at http://www.hcnhistory.org.uk/tng/timeline2.php?primaryID=I25813&tree=hcn&chartwidth= and this works fine. [Note that you will see I do have a mod to add in a choice of comparative events - national/county/local, but I have ruled this out as the cause.] I have explored the issue in more detail on my WAMP, and have tried uninstalling all Mods, and WordPress Plugins, but the problem is still there. For the plain TNG version Chrome/Inspect/Console shows 2 identical errors http://localhost/tng/__history__.html?0 Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) I have not investigated this issue - but it does not seem to cause a noticeable problem. For the WordPress/TNG version Chrome/Inspect/Console shows 4 errors http://localhost/blank-for-people/__history__.html?0 Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) simile-ajax-bundle.js:1541 TypeError: Cannot read property 'documentElement' of null "XmlHttp: Error handling onReadyStateChange" simile-ajax-bundle.js:1543 Uncaught XmlHttp: Error handling onReadyStateChange http://localhost/blank-for-people/__history__.html?0 Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) I presume the TypeError at simile-ajax-bundle.js:1541 is causing the problem, but my initial look at it has not given me a solution. I have had a look at a few WordPress/TNG sites [Website Example URL Removed as Website is Defunct] http://gregoryology.com/genealogy/timeline2.php?primaryID=I1854&tree=tree001&chartwidth= http://www.hardwickfamily.com/genealogy/timeline2.php?primaryID=I69&tree=tree1&chartwidth= But none of them has the Simile timeline. My main question is does anyone have the Simile timeline currently working in an integrated WP/TNG site? I know it used to work. Any other advice would be welcome. Thanks, Peter

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.

I am really stuggling every now and then to add an additional child from the edit main menu of a focus person. You can add another spouse but I cannot add an additional child after completing and saving a family - there is no option to add another child. I edited the mother and then thought I could add another child but that did not work, I thing added a new child in add new individual mode and then searched for existing people as mother and father and now I have two families for the same mother and father with two children but they are not siblings?? sorted out thanks africanaunty

Can someone explain to me if its possible to change the colours of the backgrounds in the template http://lythgoes.net/genealogy/demoframes12-public.html Thanks Trixie

Would it be possible to get a command line statement to run the Sort Children process? This is one of the secondary processes to be run after an import and it always times out leaving me with out-of-order families. The Sort Spouses one has never failed - just the child one. The same thing often happens when I run the actual import and a few years ago Darrin was able to provide a command to restart it when it times out. So I was hoping there would be an alternate way to get the sort to run.

how many simultaneous users may be logged in, searching and generating charts?

I have updated the password for my hosting site. I now get the following error Error: TNG is not communicating with your database. Please check your database settings and try again. Settings can be found under Admin/Setup/General Settings/Database, or at the top of your config.php file. I am not sure of how to correct the problem. When I located the config.php file it had blank fields for all the database information, my attempts to populate these have not resulted in restoring database connection. Can someone please help me. Thanks Steven

Hello, This question has probably been asked but I can not find an answer. Is it possible to hide the dates of the allegedly alive in the database, even if the original gedcom has all the dates of birth?

Hello, A user can request to recover his password, but is it possible for a registered person to change his email address? In short, that the person does it himself rather than the administrator. Jean-Pierre

How can a user with an editor role change the password? ?

I have tried to find an answer to my question in the Forums but I have not been able to find one. I am creating a web site where several persons have a 'name in religion' because they were either nuns or brothers. I am using the 'Nickname' field for this and it is working splendidly. But I face the problem where several written forms were used for a common name (e.g. NADEAU, NADAULT, NADEAULT, and so on). I would like therefore to associate the 'normalized form', which is NADEAU to all persons, no matter what SURNAME I enter. I was thinking of using the ALIAS to write this normalized name when an individual is using a non-normalized name. I was always under the impression that ALIAS could be used for that. Where or how can I enter a persons' s ALIAS within the TNG interface? Thank you

On my local, WAMP, servers I seem to have SQL issue. On person page I get Cannot execute query: SELECT display, eventdate, eventdatetr, eventplace, age, agency, cause, addressID, info, tag, description, eventID, collapse FROM (tng_events, tng_eventtypes) WHERE persfamID = "I577" AND tng_events.eventtypeID = tng_eventtypes.eventtypeID AND gedcom = "upavadi_1" AND keep = "1" AND parenttag = "" ORDER BY ordernum, tag, description, eventdatetr, info, eventID I seem to have similar issues in admin.php for Custom Event Types, Trees and Branches. I am getting same result on laptop and desktop, 3 separate instances of Wamp and similar number of TNG clean installs and databases. (PHP - 5.4.3 or higher; Apache: 2.4.2 or higher; MySQL: 5.5.24 or higher) My live site is still running V9.2.2. Main reason for this is that it uses TNG-WP Frontend User Functions by @HeatherFeuer which is suitable for having Wordpress in it's own folder. I have V10.1.3 running on my test site since it's release for testing my TngApi plugin.. For last few weeks I have been testing my WP-TNG-LogIn Widget to repalce the trusted TNG-WP Frontend User Functions by @HeatherFeuer on my live site. (PHP - 5.3.29; Apache: 2.4.12; MySQL: 5.5.61) I can not seem to work out what is causing the SQL errors on my various local server installations. I am sure I am missing something quite obvious. Edit: I forgot to mention that v9.2.2 is working perfectly on on three WAMP installations.
