Mods eliminated by TNG V13

You should use the Mod Manager to uninstall all your mods prior to the upgrade. If you are not going to uninstall all TNG mods prior to the upgrade, you may end up having to replace some TNG modules that contained mods that were not replaced in the upgrade since the Mod Manager changed the way it handled source that contains terminating blanks or tabs.

The following mods are now incorporated or partially incorporated into TNG v13

16. Custom Event Types: The eventtype ID has been added to the Admin/Custom Event Types page.
https://tng.lythgoes.net/wiki/index.php?title=Add_Event_Type_ID
Do not clean up the mod, but rather Delete it without uninstalling or cleaning it up.
80. Places: An option has been added for each individual place to permanently ignore that place when doing bulk geocoding.
The mod's definition of a "Do not Geocode" Placelevel (value=-1) has been incorporated into TNG13.
The changes that the mod makes to the geocoding workflow are still viable, so the mod will be reworked for TNG13.
79. Places: Fields for last modified date and user have been added to the places table.
The new change date field in the Places table essentially eliminates the need for the mod's creation date field.
TNG13 can also sort by last modified date. The date sort replaces the mod's ability to search for Places created since a specific date.
81. Settings: An option now exists to turn off CSV report downloads.
General Settings > Privacy section
Allow CSV downloads for reports: (defaults to Yes)
Set to No if you do not want to all users to download reports
90. Settings: An option now allows admins to turn the person/family "Living" box on or off by default for new people & families.
General Settings > Privacy section
Living flag set for new people and families: (defaults to Yes)
Set to No if you do not want to mark new users and families as Living
15. Charts: Family Chart link has been added to end of each family description on the Register and Ahnentafel charts
eliminates part of the mod that added Family Chart Links to the Register and Ahnentagel report
Do not clean up the mod. It will need to be reworked to just remove the lines that add the Family Chart Links to Register and Ahnentafel reports.
Do not clean up the mod is obsolete and replaced with
56. Media: Media in text file format will now be embedded within the TNG page like images (instead of downloading the images or opening them in a separate app).
83. Places: Notes on the public Place page are no longer truncated.
13. Charts: Photos have been added to the vertical ancestry chart. I recommend changing the box and font sizes in the chart settings (160, 80, 10).

TNG Admin screen impact

4. Admin: The Admin menu will no longer use an HTML "frameset". The layout will be the same, but it will use fixed DIVs instead.

  • impacted the Mod Manager Mod List display
- fixed before TNG v13 beta 1
  • impacts all mods that add entries to the Admin screen
Caution: If you create a syntax error as part of your admin.php mod update, you will get a White Screen of Death
You should know where your PHP errors get written to and may want to install the updated
  • Prolog mod
  • or the Show PHP Error Log mod
before installing your updated mod that changes the admin.php screen
You can click on the [Expand] link on the right to display the hidden instruction section on updating mods that anchor themselves in the Admin left sidebar menu or in the Admin screen top line or [Collapse] to hide it again,
you must now update your mod to use admin.php and admin_leftmenu.php to add new admin buttons and links in the left sidebar
instead of admin_main.php and admin_leftbanner.php
you must now update your mod to use adminlib.php to add links to the top div
instead of admin_rightbanner.php
Note that you also need to change your previously used echo statements to $output .= when updating
  • scripts that run in the TNG Admin main section must now change the body from
echo "
</head>
<body background=\"img/background.gif\">
to use
	echo "
	</head>";

	echo tng_adminlayout();

	echo "
  • Note that if your script also overrode the TNG Admin back.gif like the following Census Plus International mod scripts
echo '<body style="background-image: none; background-color: white">';
you will need to change it to pass the style override by passing it as an argument such as
$args = " style =\"background-image: none; background-color: white\" ";
echo tng_adminlayout($args);	// TNG 13 layout
  • You must now update the footer part of your admin script to change the following
	echo "
	</body>
	</html>";
	exit;
to use
		echo tng_adminfooter();

Mods that work

Based on beta testing, the following mods show OK to Install on TNG v13 and may only require uninstall before the upgrade and re-install after the upgrade. Note that all the mods might not have been tested.
