Purpose of the mod

To show each generation of the descendants of a person in a table. The generation to be viewed is selected by clicking on a radio button on the page.

Developer

This mod was developed by Jim Graham.

During the installation of this mod a file called descendtables.php is added to the root of your TNG web site. This file was adapted from another file written by Robin Richmond and used in various other mods. I am grateful to Robin for the work involved in producing that first file.

I am also grateful to Ken Roy and Graham Chamberlain for testing the mod.

Thanks also to Graham Chamberlain for the Dutch, German, French and Spanish translations.

Revision History

Mod Version	TNG Version	Date	Contents
13.0.0.2	13.0	06 Oct 2020	Updated to show a link to the tables on the vertical descendants page
13.0.0.1	13.0	29 Sep 2020	Updated the cfg file to suit TNG V13. Thanks to Ken Roy who carried out the actual updating of the cfg file.
12.0.0.0	12.0	11 Nov 2019	Fixed php constant errors (Thanks to Brent Hemphill for the heads up on this issue) Updated the cfg file to accomodate the new guidelines for TNG v12+ cust_text.php files.
10.1.3.4	10.1.3	11 Nov 2019	Fixed php constant errors (Thanks to Brent Hemphill for the heads up on this issue)
10.1.3.3	10.1.3	29 Dec 2016	Where cousins have become spouses or partners and have had children then these children no longer appear twice in the tables. In previous version when a person's name was clicked on an optional setting allowed you to choose between displaying the person's record or the tables of their descendants. In this version that option is removed and if a person has children then an extra link is shown beside their name to allow the descendants tables to be displayed. See the vizualization below.
10.1.3.2	10.1.3	15 Nov 2016	The mod will now run in TNG v10.1.3 Tables may be chosen as the default descendancy format by selecting "Tables" in the Intial Display drop down menu in the Descendancy Charts set up in Admin The following optional features are included: Multiple tables have been added i.e. instead of displaying a table as one long table it may be split into smaller, user defined, table lengths. Force number of decendants in the drop down menu to be the maximum available. This means that all of the descendant generations are shown in the left hand table. When a name is clicked on in the right hand table you may choose to go to the person's own record or to display the tables of descendants for that person. Thanks to Ron Krzmarzick for the idea.
11.0.0.0	11.0	01 Nov 2016	Introduction.
