Notes	Author of TNG Colouring Book Mods by me: At my user page.

Purpose of the mod

This mod makes all tabs stay active when the Family Tab is selected and navigating family pages is done in the "innermenu" (like ancestors pages).
If the Subject Person* has no family (no spouse and no children), the family pages in the Family Tab pertains to the parents. This does not change the Subject Person*.
If the Subject Person* has more than one family, the family pages in the Family Tab pertains to the first family by default.
Previous families are selected in the Family sections links and are opened in the Family Tab. Reset to the first family by selecting the Individual Tab.
If a new family is selected, the new Subject Person* will be the Husband/Father if possible.
When family pages are browsed, the Suggest/Edit tab pertains to the current Family while the Subject Person* is kept for the other tabs.
* Subject Person = the selected individual.

What you sacrifice

When you browse a familygroup.php page (Group Sheet) there may be shortcuts to Media, Notes, Sources etc. in the innermenu:

Those shortcuts are not present when this mod is installed.

Visualization of this mod

A live demo is found here (Wife is subj. pers, her 2nd marr.)

This mod makes the TNG tab collection consistent with other tab collections on Internet:
Clicking the original Family tab in TNG


and DANG! This happens:


ALL your tabs are gone - and are replaced by others!

A sidenote: Family Chart and Group Sheet tabs are placed in the reversed order compared to the links at getperson.php:

This mod corrects that, see below. (Nit-picking - I know ;)

After mod install, this is the result of clicking the Family tab:

All tabs are at their proper places and the familychart.php is opened (optionally familygroup.php).
The familygroup.php and familychart.php (and Maternal/Paternal Lines mod) pages are selected in the innermenu.

Mod Conflicts

• FGW Tabs Mod before v 11.0.0.9

must be uninstalled while this mod is installed or uninstalled.
It can be re-installed after.

• Version 12.0.0.2b can't be used with Robin Richmond's mod Regroup Person Profile.
  

(Version 13.0.0.2b resolves that conflict from RPP v13.0.0.19e and later)

• The below is added to all involved mods:
  

Of my mods, some demand a special order to Install and Uninstall. This is one of them.
Installing / Uninstalling in the wrong order may create chaos at a later stage.
The mods may signal Okay to Install but nevertheless may not be.

Order to INSTALL:

All mods below the one you want to Install, must first be Uninstalled (if you use them).
See the Uninstall order below. You can Install them after.

1. Maternal And Paternal Lines
2. Scrollbox
3. Public Access Control
4. Forum for TNG
5. Fixed Family Tab

Order to UNINSTALL:
All mods above the one you want to Uninstall, must first be Uninstalled (if you use them).
You can Install them after. See the Install order above.

1. Fixed Family Tab
2. Forum for TNG
3. Public Access Control
4. Scrollbox
5. Maternal And Paternal Lines

Example:
Suppose you use the Scrollbox and Fixed Family Tab mods.
Now you want to install Maternal And Paternal Lines.
As you can see in the Install Order both the used mods are below the Maternal And Paternal Lines mod and therefore you must first Uninstall the mods in the Uninstall order:
First Uninstall the Fixed Family Tab mod and then the Scrollbox mod.
Now you can install all three mods in the Install order:
First you Install Maternal And Paternal Lines, second the Scrollbox mod and finally Fixed Family Tab.
