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
Note that version 1.2 of this mod extended the Private notes display to the Family Group and Browse Notes pages

Purpose of the Mod

This mod adds new columns to the Browse Notes and Admin Notes display to indicate whether the notes are associated with

  • L for living persons or families
  • P for private persons or families and
  • S whether the note is marked as Private (secret flag)
  • TNG table to indicate what table contains the note
You can click on the [Expand] link on the right to view the previous evolution of the Private Note Mod and [Collapse] to hide the section again.

The original purpose of the mod was to display the Private notes on the Individual (getperson.php) and Family Group sheet but part of function was incorporated into TNG 9 which allows Private notes (secret flag) to be display if the user has the View Private privilege.


TNG version: ≤ 8.1.3
TNG version: ≥ 7.0

This TNG modification deals with notes that have been marked Private and have a secret flag in the table.

It is a modification to the person pages so that notes that are marked Private will display for admin users in the same area that regular notes are displayed.

The description below is specific to TNG V7.0, although the mod has worked for versions since V6.1.1 at different line numbers.

V1.2 of the mod extends the Private note display to the Browse Notes and the Family Group sheet


TNG version: ≥ 8.0.1
V8.1.0 for TNG V8.0.1 extends the mod to add the Types of notes to the Browse Notes and the Admin Notelist:
  • S for secret (or Private) note
  • L for a note associated with a Living person or family
  • P for a note associated with a person marked Private

and attempts providing a fix to set the Private (secret) flag when edit notes from the new Admin Notelist

V8.1.1 for TNG V8.0.1 extends the mod to allow filtering on the types of notes.


TNG version: ≥ 9.0
Starting with TNG V9, the ability to view Private notes is controlled by the user privilege Allow to view information for private individuals.

The ability to check or uncheck the Private (secret) flag was fixed in TNG V9. So this mod essentially provides a visualization on the type of notes added in v8.1.0 of the mod.

This mod only provides the visual on the type of notes in Browse Notes and in the Admin Note List, which also provides a selection capability.


TNG version: ≥ 9.0.4
V9.0.4.1 no longer supports a selection criteria for notes associated with Living or Private individuals or families. TNG 9.0.4 added the capability to select Private Notes, those with the secret flag set and URL links for the Linked To column.

Note that if you use the Responsive Tables mods, you need to uninstall your current version of this mod and install the Responsive Tables-3 - Private Notes version

Developer

This mod was originally developed by Brian McFadyen for displaying Private Notes on Individual page

Mod was enhanced by Ken Roy to also display private notes in the Browse Notes display and Family Group sheet

TNG V8 mod was enhanced by Ken Roy and Jeff Robison to include the Types of Note columns to Browse Notes and Admin Note List, and later enhanced again by Jeff Robison to select notes by type (Living, Private, or Secret)

TNG V9 mod was reworked by Ken Roy with the acronym in the Types header provided by Oname.gif.

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.

Revision History

Mod Version TNG Version Date Contents
13.1.0.5a 13.1 03 Nov 2022 updated for TNG 13.1 by Michel Kirsch to reduce the code being verified for install in browsemedia.php and allow mod to work in TNG 14
13.1.0.5 13.1 02 Nov 2021 updated for TNG 13.1 beta 2 code changes to use the new Allow Private Notes privilege
13.0.4.4 13.0.4 04 Jun 2021 updated for TNG 13.0.4
13.0.0.3 13.0 26 May 2021 Mod renamed from Private Note Mod to Kind of Notes as a better description of the mod. Norwegian custom text added thanks to Kare and Jen-Thore Solem
13.0.0.2a 13.0 20 May 2021 Updated for TNG V13 with our thanks to Michel Kirsch for fixing the conditional check on whether the PersonID Note Mod is installed.
13.0.0.2 13.0 17 May 2021 Updated for TNG V13 with our thanks to Michel Kirsch for helping resolve the install sequence conflict. This version includes the following updates:
  • Displays what table the note is associated with
  • The French, German, and Dutch custom text variables previously downloadable as a separate mod were included in this version.
11.0.0.0 11.0 07 Mar 2016 Updated for TNG V11
10.1.0.3b 10.1 22 Apr 2015 Version to use, if you are using the Responsive Tables mod
10.1.0.2 10.1 21 Jan 2015 Updated for TNG 10.1 use of MySQLi. Note zip file uploaded on 4 September 2015
10.0.0.1 10.0 21 Apr 2014 Updated so that mod can be installed on TNG V10 without having first installed PersonID Note Mod

Note that if you have version 10.0.0.0 install correctly, you do not need to download and install this version which only fixed the dependencies between the two mods.

10.0.0.0 10.0 29 Jan 2014 Updated for TNG V10 for the restructure of browsenotes made in TNG v9.2.2
9.0.4.1 9.0.4 01 Oct 2012 Updated for the restructure of admin_notelist.php in TNG V9.0.4. The selection criteria for notes associated with Living or Private individuals or families has been dropped since TNG no longer does a JOIN on these tables. TNG 9.0.4 added the selection criterion for Private (secret flag) notes, so you can still select notes marked Private (secret flag). TNG 9.0.4 also made the Linked To column URL links, so that part of the mod was also dropped.
9.0.0.0 9.0 02 Feb 2012 Updated for TNG V9.0.0 and no longer provides the ability to view private (secret) notes, which is now controlled by the Allow to view information for private individuals privilege in TNG V9. This mod no longer includes a fix for checking or unchecking the Private (secret) flag, so there is now only one version of the mod.
8.1.3a 8.1.3 28 Apr 2011 Created a version of the mod that removes the attempt to fix setting the Private (secret) flag for users where Edit does not work from admin_notelist.php
8.1.3 8.1.2 28 Apr 2011 Updated for TNG 8.1.2 which now provides an XHTML compliant version of browsenotes.php
8.1.2a 8.1 06 Mar 2011 Created a version of the mod that removes the attempt to fix setting the Private (secret) flag for users with multiple trees
8.1.2 8.1 10 Feb 2011 Updated to be XHTML compliant once issues in browsenotes.php are fixed
8.1.1 8.1 13 Sep 2010 Updated by Jeff Robison to add selection of notes by types (Living, Private, or Secret).
8.1.0a 8.1 10 Sep 2010 Fix minor coding error that caused table formatting error in Internet Explorer (IE)
8.1.0 8.1.3 06 Sep 2010 Updated for TNG V8 and enhanced by Ken Roy and Jeff Robison to include the Types of Note columns to Browse Notes and Admin Note List
1.4 06 Sep 2010 updated to fix code in reglib.php that caused problems in the ahnentafel and register reports
1.2 05 Jan 2010 updated to add display of Private Notes in the Browse Notes and Family Group sheet displays when logged in as Admin
1.1 01 Dec 2009 config file updated to point to TNG Wiki article
