Purpose of the Mod
To add useful flags, and popup previews to the Person Profile, and to generate ancestor and descendant charts for parents, spouses, and children.
Family Indicators
Briefly, the "family indicators" added by the mod are triangular arrows adjacent to children, spouses, and parents. In some circumstances, hovering over the arrow generates a popup, and, in most circumstances, clicking on the array generates an ancestor or descendant chart. More specifically:
Parents & Spouses
Up-arrows next to a parent or spouse indicates that that person has ancestors.
- Clicking on an arrow generates and ancestor chart.
- Hovering over the arrow generates a popup preview that shows both parents. (Thus, hovering over the arrow for a parent generates a preview of the profiled person's grandparents, and hovering over the arrow for a spouse generates a preview of the profiled person's parents-in-law.)
Children
Mod Options
This mod's options are implemented as custom TNG settings, in a new Mod Settings Block at Admin>>Setup>>General Settings>>, in the subform "Mod Settings Blocks.
- Whether to show Ancestor indicators
- URL of the Ancestor chart.
- URL of the Descendant chart.
Related Mods
- The Mod Settings Blocks mod packages this mod's options into what I call a "Mod Settings Block", which is a set of form fields that formatted and labeled so that it stands out among other options in an Admin>>Setting form. Mod Settings Blocks is a prerequisite for this mod; it must be installed before this mod can be installed.
- An Inner Mod Menu, which provides handy links from TNG pages directly to mod documentation and a mod's Mods Settings Block. (Inner Mod Menus are visible only to TNG Admins; never to end users.)
- The Mods Used feature, which captures a list of mods that affected the code used to display a TNG page. (This is analogous to the Mod Manager Analyzer feature that reports which mods affect a given TNG file, but that applies at run-time.

Installation
Files Installed
This mod does not install any files, but it does still have a mod subfolder, which contains the mod's language strings. That is, this mod's language strings are not defined in its .cfg file nor copied to cust_text.php files. As a result
- This mod's language strings are loaded only into the TNG programs that need them, not into all TNG programs, and
- It is easier to create, edit, test, and save translation for this mod than for mods that use standard cust_text.php strings.
This non-standard technique should be invisible to you unless you want to define a translation or override any of this mod's string values.
Read more about this technique, the simplified translation process, and the procedure for defining site-specific overrides to its language strings.
