Introduction
This mod was developed to make it easier to manage living flags that are set manually because you do not have birth date information for those persons.
The mod is designed to display the Living Flag on the Descendant Text chart to make it easier to know whether you have manually set all the Living flags for persons for whom you do not have birth date information.
| TNG version: | ≥ 9.0 |
For TNG V9, the style definition for emphasis was renamed to .blueemphasis and added to the genstyle.css so that the Living Flag Mod will work with all templates, including new ones defined by the TNG administrator.
Developer
Ken Roy developed this mod.
Advantages
This mod adds the word Living to the Descendant Text only chart for persons whose Living Flag is set. It will show:
- persons who do not have a Living flag set, but have siblings who are shown as living
- persons who have a Living flag set, but also have a death date.
- Note that version 2 of the Backup / Restore Living Flag now displays the Death Date on the Restore, so it will be easier to remove the living flags there
Requirements
- A working TNG installation. The automated installation release was initially tested at TNG Version 7.1.0. Manual installation previously used on TNG 6 and 7
- A backup of your TNG descendtext.php file.
- A backup of your TNG css/genstyle.css file starting with TNG V9
