This add on, delivered in the form of a “Mod Manager” config file will add 4 more place levels to the sequence of place levels available when geocoding places, AND it changes the layout of the Pin Legend under the Google map on the getperson.php pages from [pin] [=text] [pin] [=text] [pin] [=text] to a row of pins with the text (dynamically) superimposed on the pin. You can see the differences in this image:
This mod makes use of the Mod Manager which as of TNG v8 is now built into TNG.
To install this, download the .zip file. Unzip it and place the contents (a file and a folder) into “mods” folder in your TNG folder, then install it from the Mod Manager in TNG Admin.
It will:
- Copy a TrueType font – LiberationSans-Regular.ttf – to your TNG folder
- copy 5 map pin files to the img folder
- create 1 new files in your TNG folder
- google_text_marker.php – a script which combines the text and pin image into a single image
- Make some changes to TNG files to accommodate the extra place levels. Files changed are listed on the TNG Wiki article
This change is language aware – ie it will write the description on the pin in whatever language people are viewing your site in.
If you want to change the place levels that you have previously assigned to your places without editing each place you can add this mod for TNG Google maps Update Place Levels to do this. More details, including instructions on how to update your tng_places table to use the extra place levels can be found on the TNG Wiki on this page.
Updates:
Version 9.0.0.1 corrects an issue that occurred when changing language
Version 9.0.0 is a new release for TNG 9.0.0 and upwards.
Previous Update: Version 8.2.0 is a new release of the current version for TNG 8.0.0 and upward that separates the installing of the “Add More Place Levels” from the ability to update the place levels you have already set. It also has some tweaks to allow Google maps to work with the TNG WordPress plug in.
Previous Update: Version 8.1.0 is a release of the current version for TNG 8.0.0 It has a number of changes to accomodate the changes made in TNG 8, but no new functionality over Version 1.1 which remains current for TNG 7
Roger, I am using TNG by itself, not with WordPress. I can’t get the Site Map Mod you are directing to show up in my MOD folder so that I can install it. I sure could use your help. Linda
Did the file you downloaded unzip itself to become a file named
create_sitemap_v12.0.0.2.cfg
? You could try downloading the file again just in case you got a bad download.
Roger
Bold Ancestor Links 11.0.0.3 and 11.0.0.2 cfg files compare identical with BeyondCompare software. …no changes but the version. The [/strong] change doesn’t show up.
Ron
Hmmm – I must have fixed the problem earlier with 11.0.0.2 without changing the version number. There was a closing tag written as in the .cfg file that was in use on my site, so I copied the Mod code, made the correction and made a new version 11.0.0.3 without checking that the download of 11.0.0.2 said what the file in use on my site said. I’ll remove the 11.0.0.3. Thanks!
Hi Roger,
I’d like to suggest that you update the code of the wp plugins to support UTF-8, by adding utf8_encode() around variable like names etc, so instead of “$dbrowh[‘lastname’]” you’d write “utf8_encode($dbrowh[‘lastname’])”
That way output like “Kirsten S�rensdatter” can be displayed like “Kirsten Sørensdatter” etc.
Best regard
Søren
Hi Roger,
Thank you. I’ve found your scripts and they’re great. I have to ask – is there any chance you’d be willing to share your index.php file?
Best regards
Søren
Hi Roger,
I’d like to accomplish a look similar to lisaandroger.com/genealogy/. I’ve chosen the suffusion theme but things look nowhere similar, see https://pasteboard.co/I5yZdn6.png
As far as I understand your reply I’ll have to edit the png/index.php file. Is that correct?
Best regards
Søren
Yes – the file tng/index.php is what controls that page. So you can remove things from it – eg the list of menu items on the side, and replace it with other content. Most of what appears on my index.php page is controlled by various scripts that are available to download from my Downloads page – eg the lists of birthdays, anniversaries, etc etc
Hi Roger,
I’ve tried to find the answer but failed. I’ve made an wp + tng + tng plugin installation. It’s working but my genealogy page is looking far from yours. Mine is very basic. I’d love to have a design similar to yours but I have no idea how to get there. Could you please point me in the right direction?
Thank you for your time.
Hi Søren
Do you mean the index.php page, or the overall look of the site in general? If you want the main index.php page to be different, then you need to edit the file index.php that is in the TNG root folder.
If you’re talking about the look of all the pages, then you can alter that – colours, text etc by editing the file mytngstyle.css that is in the css folder in the TNG root folder.
Roger
Hi,
I can’t seem to get any of the birthday, anniversary or death lists working 100% on user pages in TNG version12.
Nothing displays when logged out in fact nothing past the code displays.
They display okay when logged in though.
The trouble is that these user pages are introductory pages to certain branches of my website so the lists will have to go if this can’t be sorted
(They were working okay in TNG10.)
Any idea why?
Thanks,
Merv
Have you downloaded the newest versions of these files recently?
TNG 10.1 introduced new query syntax that uses mysqli not mysql, but I have updated the scripts to use that long ago.
Has anything else changed – like the path to the scripts relative to TNG?
Is there anything in your site’s error logs when you try to load a page that contains the scripts?
Roger
Roger,
hope all is good. Looking for info on possible updates/ upgrades to 2 different scripts.
first the old “list_birthdays.php”
Is it possible to add a function to show
1) Only persons in the current users “assignedbranch” ?
2) Only ‘milestone’ years (5,10,15,20…etc)
3) both birthdays AND Anniversaries?
Most of my users say the list is too big (because in many cases they have over 12,000 persons related to them in the database)
So they would only like to see those milestone years.
I will start a diff message for the other…
Thanks for your time on these great add on scripts for tNG!
Jay
I’ve downloaded and installed the mod. (And made a donation.)
I installed it and hit the “Create Sitemap” button. From the instructions, I expected it to take a while.
But the page has bee at this point for 40 minutes:
“TNG Sitemap Creator
Please wait… sitemap being generated from TNG database. This may take some time depending on the size of your database.
Records Processed:”
Nothing further. Anything wrong on my end? Running 11.1.2
Downloaded from this page:
http://lisaandroger.com/downloads/download-info/tng-8-tng-9-tng10-create-a-google-sitemap/#respond
William – for TNG 11.1.2 (in fact any TNG greater than 10.1.0) you need the download from
http://lisaandroger.com/downloads/download-info/tng-10-1-create-a-google-sitemap/
Roger
Hello,
is something broken here?
I come from TNG wiki to download a mod. But where is this mod (Create sitemap mod) ??
What am I doing wrong?
Jürgen
Jürgen – sorry about the problems – an update to the Download-Monitor plugin rendered it all not working. I’ve got all that sorted out, and just now have to update the TNG Wiki with the new links.
Roger
Hi there, I recently updated tng from 11.0 to 11.0.1 and the relationship to site owner is showing more than the usual relations..
i know i relate twice to this individual but now it shows 4 times.. It flips the parents and relists them again..
http://www.stewartsny.com/genealogy/getperson.php?personID=I476&tree=Full1 if you get a chance to look.

Thanks for letting me know – I hadn’t noticed that for example on my site it gave a single line between me and my great great grandfather, but when you clicked that line it gave two charts that were the same, but name the relationship in two different ways – that William was my great great grandfather, and that I was William’s great great grandson. I’ve made a change that mirrors a change Darrin recently made so now it’s back to a single chart in this circumstance. It’s available to download here – give it a try and see if it works for your page – i.e. for that page with 2 relationships you get two charts.
I have double checked and everything seems to be correct…
I was wondering if your TNG mod Relationship to Site Owner works with the latest version of TNG? I have been trying to get it to work (mod version 10.1) and I haven’t had any luck. Any suggestions?
Yes it works just fine.
Are you SURE you have set the correct parameters in the Options in Mod Manager for TreeID and starting person ID?
Don’t know if my last submission got to you. The Bold Ancestor Children Links will not install, due to likely conflict with Family Preview Mod.
Errors
line 11: %target:getperson.php%
line 13: %location:% not installed
line 21: %location:% not installed
line 29: %location:% Bad target
Can this be fixed by sequencing the Mods and changing a line?
I’ve revised the Mod so that hopefully it can now install before or after the Family Preview Mod. Uninstall and then Delete what you’ve got and then try the new version.
Roger
Just a word of caution… the anniversary lists (birthdays, weddings and deaths) currently display details of people marked “private” in your database.
I understand Roger is working on a solution.
Merv
Re : Pulling dates from a specific branch…
Kia ora Roger,
With a few tweeks of your code, I think I have managed to get this going. It’s not the tidiest of solutions but it seems to work ok. I could send these files through to you if you would like to inspect?… working examples are on my site.
Merv
I was wrong about the display. The best way for me to explain the issue is for you to go to my page. The link is located at http://www.fredsfollies.com/900geneology/ and you will see at the right hand column that today (10/31/2015) there is a death showing but no birthdays being displayed. There are two living people that have a birthday today but they don’t show unless you log in. You can use guest/guest to log in to see what I mean.
Thanks for your response…don’t know what happened but when I went to the site today, the person was listed with a link that was accessible when logged in. As you say, it is doing what I want it to do.
One other question about your Top 10 Surnames script, what part of the code would need to be changed to reflect two columns of 5 names each instead of one column listing all ten names?
It is working as the current design intends.
I am not sure that it has ever done as you expect it to do – show the names regardless of whether someone is allowed to see Living or not and then show the link depending on this.
Yes it could be altered to do what you are expecting it to do, but not today, and probably not tomorrow.
Roger
Perhaps I wasn’t clear on my initial post. What is happening is that if someone living has a birthday, that person’s name does not appear at all unless you are logged into the site. Once you are logged in, the person’s name appears and it has a link to its information. If I read your response correctly, the script is supposed to do what I am asking it to do, however it is not happening. As for changing the query, I don’t have enough knowledge about queries to attempt it.
I very recently downloaded your birthday, anniversary and death scripts and got them to work on my site. I seem to recall however, that if anyone had one of those events, their name would appear even if you were not logged in when viewing the page. The difference is that when logged in, you could click on the name and be taken to their information. That does not seem to be the case now. How would I change it to reflect that?
Fred
I’m not sure if it’s ever done what you’re asking for exactly – the scripts do check to see if the user is logged in, and so allowed to information about Living people or not. That is used to determine whether to show the people’s names or not and the $outputoption setting used to determine if there are links or not.
To do what you’re wanting, the initial query would have to be changed to remove the check if the user is logged in or not, do the query for all events on that date and then alter the output depending on whether or not the user was logged in or not.
Birthday, Death Dates and Anniversary Lists
Is it possible to pull dates from a specific tree?
Is it possible that users only see dates from their specific branch they are allocated to?
Merv – yes I guess this is possible – the queries would need to be altered to include a query for the “gedcom” (how TNG identifies “trees”). Are you wanting it to be a specific tree, or a tree determined dynamically somehow?
Same would apply to Branches – it would need to be altered to include the branch in the query depending on what user is logged in, and then use that as part of the query too. I don’t use Branches myself, so aren’t familiar with how that works exactly, so while I imagine it ought to be possible to do this, it might take me a while to figure this out so it works properly.
Roger, Just following up on the sitemap issue I mentioned before about having a place to store the custom pages urls that should be included in a sitemap index.
If my understanding is correct, there should only be one sitemap index
Robots.txt shoudl include either
Complete listing of URLs to be index or one listing for location of sitemap index.
So if I need a sitemap creator to review the database for all the correct URLs to include,
then I think we need a way to add these custom url additions to the sitemap during the create process.
My thought is to make it a variable switchable on/off
If on, then it simply will include the custom sitemap “tngsitemap0” to the final tngsitemapindex.xml file
It’s then up to the site admin to add their urls as needed to the tngsitemap0.xml file.
Im am not a coder, but I believe some code snippets would be like;
%parameter:$indexcustom:0%
%desc:Set this to 1 to include a custom url list in the sitemap.The default is (0)%
$indexcustom = “0”;
if ($indexcustom) {
// add custom urls to index
// Add file location of custom urls xml file
}
Is this something you could add to the current sitemap create mod?
Thanks for taking the time to review.
Jay
