Notes

Purpose of the Mod

To improve the workflow of the Admin Secondary Processes menu. It

• Keeps track of the Tree you select (and that you selected when you did a Gedcom Import) so that you don't have to reselect a tree for every process.
• Replaces the "Return to Secondary Processes Menu" link that follows the result of each process with the Secondary Process itself. This both simplifies the workflow gives you context so that you know which process needs to be launched next.
• Associates a warning message with the "Relabel Branches" process, because that process only reapplies branch labels to the records that they were applied to before the Gedcom Import. It does not look at the data and apply branch labels to new records that should be in a branch.

Gotchas

To put the menu below the process results, the mod can't reuse the menu's PHP code. Instead, it has to know about all mods that affect the Secondary Processes menu, and duplicate what they do to the menu. So far, it knows about Admin Branches Queue, Burial Website Media Import, Census Plus International, Create Site Map Mod, Media Living and Private Flags, and Alternate spellings. I have to count on TNG admins or mod authors to tell me about any other mods that affect the Secondary Processes menu.

Mod Options

Related Mods

Various mods add buttons and links to the Secondary Processes menu. To achieve its workflow ends, this mod must duplicate all of those buttons in a different PHP program.

• version 13.0.0.1 of this mod supports the buttons or links that Admin Branches Queue, Burial Website Media Import, Census Plus International, and Create Site Map Mod] place on the Secondary Processes menu.
• version 13.0.0.2 also supports Alternate spellings and Media Living and Private Flags.
• version 13.0.0.3 also supports Republican Dates

As new mods add buttons or links to the Secondary Processes menu, this mod will have to be updated. Please use My Mod Support form to notify me of any new mods that need to be supported by this mod.

Visualizations

BEFORE

The initial Secondary Processes page, unaffected by any mods that change the menu. The tree is always undefined and must be selected

The Secondary Process page after a process, where the user has to click on the "Back to Secondary Processes" link to get to the menu again

AFTER

The initial Secondary Processes page, still without any mods that affect the menu. The tree used for the most recent operation (typically a Gedcom Import) is automatically selected. There is an information icon next to the "Relabel Branches" button that pops up the text shown in a visualization below.

The Secondary Process page after a process, where the tree continues to be selected, and the menu is right below the process results.

The Relabel Branches Popup Text

With other mods that affect the Secondary Menu

Here you see the menu as it has been affected by the Admin Branches Queue and Create Sitemap Mod, and the new popup text for the "Relabel Branches" operation that reflects the functionality of Admin Branches Queue.
