Introduction
The MAP Coord Export mod, saves the Map LATI/LONG in an Exported GEDCOM file created from the Admin full GEDCOM export only.
Admin-Menu ->import/export ->export
Note that this mod was not written to export the Map coordinates for a GEDCOM created from the public side of the site, when clicking on the GEDCOM tab on the Individual person page.
TNG version: | ≤ 8.1.3 |
TNG version: | ≥ 8.1.2 |
This mod applies to Admin generated GEDCOMs only for TNG V8.1.2 through TNG V8.1.3, and is obsolete in TNG V9 where the MAP LATI and LONG values are exported on an Admin generated GEDCOM file.
Mod Developer
The Mod Developer is Ulli Heist based on Sherry's request on the User2 list for import into RootsMagic.
Thanks to Sherry for the inspiration.
Requirements
- Backup of the following TNG files
- admin_gedcom2.php
- An installed current version of the Mod Manager.
Automated Install
- Download the appropriate file for your TNG version from the download links in the mod summary area in the upper right.
- After downloading the appropriate config file, unzip it into your mods folder
- Follow the normal automated installation for Mod Manager, as shown in the example Mod Manager - Installing Config Files.
TNG module changed
admin_gedcom2.php need to be writeable (CHMOD 0777) according to Ulli. However, your hosting service might not allow 777 and Mod Manager runs under your account user so you only need permissions of 644.
Cautions on usage
This mod was created to facilitate using RootsMagic 4 to create reports.
Note that RootsMagic (RM) 4 exports its GEDCOM as UTF-8. So if your intention is to export a GEDCOM from TNG to then import it into RM4 where you select Lists, Place List and click the GeoCode button to update Places that do not contain latitude and longitude, and then to create a GEDCOM export to be imported back into TNG with the option Import Latitude/Longitude if present, your database and TNG character set should both be the same.
If they are not and your place names contain accented characters, like the French place name of Québec, those place names will be mangled by the re-import of the data.
Note that this mod has not been tested with Legacy Family Tree nor any other desktop program that supports GeoCode information (latitude/longitude).
If your site is completely maintained in TNG, then additional cautions might apply if you intend to export and re-import a GEDCOM. See Database - Backup and Database - Restore for some approaches on backing up and restoring your database. You may want to test doing this on a WampServer environment or a test subdomain to ensure that you will not damage your production site.
