Purpose of the mod
This TNG modification allows search for a woman by married name without going to the Advanced Search screen. Version 2 includes a radio button below the last name field with "Birth" as the default option and "Married" as the alternative.
It is now available for all templates 1-20 as a Mod Manager config file.
This mod has been subsumed by Broad Search mod which also checks nicknames and renaming events.

The Mod Developer is Luke Weerts. Version 2 is by Chris Moss based on Bryan Larson's code. Version 12 is modified by Russ Strong with template 13 testing by JPB, based on Bryan Larson's code. Template 16 index.php added by Ron Krzmarzick.

Requirements
- A working TNG installation.
- A backup of all affected files (see the list in the summary to the right)
- An installed current version of the Mod Manager.
Pre-install Edits
For version 1 only.
TNG version: | ≤ 8.1.3 |
TNG version: | ≥ 8.0 |
Note that if you are using the Template Selection, you need to update the target to add
- templates/template4/
to the topmenu.php and index.php targets.
TNG version: | ≥ 9.0 |
Pre-install edits are only required in TNG V9 and above, if you are not using the Template Selection option in the Template Settings, where you will need to remove the templates/template4/ from the topmenu.php and index.php targets.
For version 2 onwards
TNG version: | ≥ 8.0 |
If you aren't using template selection, then you need to remove the template directories from the %target commands for the template that you are using (only). Don't touch the other template directories.
e.g. change
- %target:templates/template4/topmenu.php%
to
- %target:topmenu.php%
