Notes

Purpose of the Mod

To add useful flags, and popup previews to the Person Profile, and to generate ancestor and descendant charts for parents, spouses, and children.

Family Indicators

Briefly, the "family indicators" added by the mod are triangular arrows adjacent to children, spouses, and parents. In some circumstances, hovering over the arrow generates a popup, and, in most circumstances, clicking on the array generates an ancestor or descendant chart. More specifically:

Parents & Spouses

Up-arrows next to a parent or spouse indicates that that person has ancestors.

• Clicking on an arrow generates and ancestor chart.
• Hovering over the arrow generates a popup preview that shows both parents. (Thus, hovering over the arrow for a parent generates a preview of the profiled person's grandparents, and hovering over the arrow for a spouse generates a preview of the profiled person's parents-in-law.)

  It's not delineated clearly in the preview, but each parents' preview within the popup includes their other marriages (e.g. Mary Wattenbarger's marriage to Gilmore Randolph), and then, at the bottom, you'll see the parents' marriage to each other, with their children.
  

Children

Down-arrows next to a child indicate that the child has children Right-arrows indicate that the child had a spouse/partner, but no children. The absence of an arrow indicates that the child never had a spouse or partner.
Hovering over a down-arrow brings up this title text.
Hovering over a right-arrow brings up this title text.

Mod Options

This mod's options are implemented as custom TNG settings, in a new Mod Settings Block at Admin>>Setup>>General Settings>>, in the subform "Mod Settings Blocks.

• Whether to show Ancestor indicators
• URL of the Ancestor chart.

Related Mods

1. The Mod Settings Blocks mod packages this mod's options into what I call a "Mod Settings Block", which is a set of form fields that formatted and labeled so that it stands out among other options in an Admin>>Setting form. Mod Settings Blocks is a prerequisite for this mod; it must be installed before this mod can be installed.
2. An Inner Mod Menu, which provides handy links from TNG pages directly to mod documentation and a mod's Mods Settings Block. (Inner Mod Menus are visible only to TNG Admins; never to end users.)
3. The Mods Used feature, which captures a list of mods that affected the code used to display a TNG page. (This is analogous to the Mod Manager Analyzer feature that reports which mods affect a given TNG file, but that applies at run-time.

This mod is compatible with, and part of, My "Regroup Person" family of mods.    [Show the family members]

[Hide details]

My "Regroup Person" family of mods all affect the Person Profile. All of them can be used independently of Regroup Person Profile, which was the the first and is the most complex member of the family.(I'll add that the reputation of the family has been stained by the fact that Regroup Person Profile is distinctly complex and is incompatible with an awkward number of other Person Profile mods. But, in truth, Regroup Person Profile and Regroup Person-Date Place is are the family members that are particularly complex or invasive.)

1. Regroup Person Profile - Rearranges the data in and spacing and formatting of the Person Profile. Also (optionally) adds siblings.
2. Regroup Person-Branch Members - Turns each of the profiled person's branch names into a hyperlink that pops up a list of branch members. Options control whether anonymous visitors and/or logged-in users are allowed to see branch details.
3. Regroup Person-Child2Parent - Hides the display of selected relationships (typically "birth", which would be assumed if it were not displayed) between the profiled person and that person's parents and children.
4. Regroup Person-Date Place - Adjusts the spacing used to display (1) Event dates, places, and values and/or (2) The name/birth/death/age data for the profiled person's relatives.
5. Regroup Person-Family Indicators - Based on Jeff Robison's Family Indicators Mod, this mod adds flags (i.e. "indicators") next to the names of the profiled person's relatives. The flags provide information about and links to several aspects of those relatives' relatives, including popup profiles and ancestor or descendant charts.
6. Regroup Person-Gender Before Birth - Simply moves the Gender "event" so that it appears above the Birth event. (As you would expect, this mod is incompatible with Regroup Person-Remove Gender)
7. Regroup Person-Hide Branches - Hides branch names from anonymous visitors and/or logged-in users who are not assigned to the branch.
8. Regroup Person-Move Media - Simply moves the media files above the event map.
9. Regroup Person-No Living Data - Suppresses display of ANY data about a living or private person the user doesn't have rights to see. By default, TNG will show some data, plus spouses, parents, and children.
10. Regroup Person-Remove Gender - Removes the Gender event (the sex) from the event tables, leaving the gender icon next to the name as the sole representation of the person's gender. (As you would expect, this mod is incompatible with Regroup Person-Gender Before Birth)
11. Regroup Person-Sources - Allows some source and citation data to be hidden for brevity, and to be displayed as desired.

Installation

Files Installed

This mod includes a typical mod subfolder, with the same base name as the mod's .cfg file. The subfolder is atypical in that no files in it are installed to working TNG folders. However, it does contain critical files that contain the mod's language strings, which the mod does not add to standard cust_text.php files. Instead, the PHP code modified by this mod loads the language strings from files in the mod's languages/ subfolder. Read more about this technique.
