Ambox notice.png The latest version of this mod uses the guidelines for TNG v12+ cust_text.php files. If you are using TNGv12+, and any cust_text.php file in this mod is marked with a Bad Target error, you need to update your cust_text.php files before you can install this mod. [Show instructions]

If you upgraded to TNGv12+, and did not update your cust_text.php files as instructed in the upgrade readme script, then you must use the TNG Mod Manager to update them. To do so:

  1. Go to Mod Manager, and select its "Recommended Updates" tab.
    (If the "Recommended Updates" tab is not visible, then go to the Mod Manager Options tab, select "Display Settings", and turn on the "Recommended Updates" tab.)
  2. Click the "Update" button in the "Recommended Updates" tab.
    Installed mods do not interfere with the update, and if you already have (or think you may have) run this update, it will not hurt for you to run it again.

Notes

Purpose of the mod

The mod permits the immediate identification of the direct ancestors of reference persons (formerly pre-selected persons). A colored square appears in front of the person's name and it displays the number of generations when hovered over.

For each reference person, a list of direct ancestors sorted by generation can be exported by the administrator in .csv format for easy import into Excel or a text file. This complements TNG's Ancestors features.

The reference persons must be defined by the administrator under "Administration" > "Miscellaneous" > "Direct Ancestors".

The reference persons can be (examples)

  • any person of your choice
  • you and your spouse
  • your grandchildren
  • half-siblings
  • DNA matches

For each reference person, you chose the color of the square and you decide whether the square will be visible by all (public) or only by the administrator (private).

Requirements

  • A working TNG installation.
  • A backup of all affected files (see the list in the summary in the upper right corner of the page)
  • An installed current version of the Mod Manager.
