Introduction
Inspired by Linking_To_Find_A_Grave but not inspired enough to individually add all the links by hand, I wanted an easier way to add Find A Grave external media links to burial events. Since I was already adding Find A Grave Source/Citations to individuals, I focused on using the burial citations to automatically add the Find A Grave links. Since the introduction of this mod, it has been expanded to include BillionGraves records as well. This mod does the following:
- Adds a custom 'Find A Grave' media type if it does not already exist
- Adds a custom 'Billion Graves' media type if it does not already exist
- For each website ('findagrave.com' and 'billiongraves.com')
- Searches through all the burial events looking for Source/Citations that contain the webite address (i.e., 'findagrave.com' or 'billiongraves.com'). This can be in the Source or the Citation and is not case sensitive.
- For each of those found, look for a Memorial/Record number in the burial Citation. If found, go to the website, get the page, and extract the title. Then either add or update the media with the information and make sure it is linked to the person's burial event.
To use this mod, go to 'Administration', then 'Import/Export', then 'Secondary Processes' tab and finally click the 'Burial Website Media Import' button.
Source / Citations Requirements
- The Source/Citation must be attached to a Burial.
- The Source or Citation must include the keywords 'findagrave.com' or 'billiongraves.com'. The following fields are examined:
- Source Long Title
- Source Short Title
- Source Publisher
- Source Actual Text
- Source Call Number
- plus the citation fields below
- The Citation must included a recognized Memorial or Record Number. The following fields are examined:
- Citation Page
- Citation Actual Text
- Citation Note
- Citation Description
Recognized Memorial or Record Numbers
The Memorial numbers recognized automatically in the Citation can take the following forms:
- GRid=<digits> // as found in a Find A Grave URLs
- /record/<chars>/<digits> // as found in a BillionGraves URLs
- Memorial <number> <digits> // all case insensitive with zero or more spaces between the parts
- Record <number> <digits> // all case insensitive with zero or more spaces between the parts
where:
- <digits> = one or more numbers 0 to 9. This is assumed to be the Find A Grave memorial number or the BillionGraves record number.
- <number> = #, number, nummber, nr, nr., nbr, nbr., no, no., or blank/nothing/empty. Case Insensitive.
- <chars> = one or more characters a to z and A to Z with no spaces
Examples of recognized Memorial Numbers:
www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=122620107 billiongraves.com/pages/record/number/122620107 Memorial #122620107 Memorial 122620107 Memorial No. 122620107 memorial no. 122620107 MeMoRiAl#122620107 record 122620107 Record Nbr 122620107 ReCoRd Number122620107
and remember, either in the Source or in the Citation the keyword 'findagrave.com' or 'billiongraves.com' (case insensitive) needs to be found. Examples include:
Findagrave.com FindAGrave.com www.BILLIONGRAVES.com www.billiongraves.com www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=122620107 billiongraves.com/pages/record/number/122620107
NOTE: Simply having the URL to a specific Find-A-Grave Memorial or BillionGraves Record in one of the Citation fields (e.g., Page or Note) will satisfy all the criteria for detection.
Requirements
- A working TNG installation. This mod was initially tested on TNG Versions 9.2.2 and 10.0.3.
- An installed current version of the Mod Manager.

Automated Installation
For TNG V9 and above
TNG version: | ≥ 9.0 |
- Download the appropriate zip file from the Mod Summary in the upper right hand corner
- After downloading the zip 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 to install the living_flag_backup.cfg.
Upgrade to new version
- In the Mod Manager, uninstall the Mod
- Install the new version of the mod using the Automated Install procedure
Visual of mod
A typical burial field on a person's page before the mod.
The same burial field on a person's page after the Find A Grave media has been added.
The addition of the 'Find-A-Grave Import' button on the Import/Export >> Secondary Processes menu.
Example lists of the new media imported by the mod. Note the use of the Collection name to narrow down the list of media displayed.
Custimization
Note the items below already have the default values shown included in the mod. No changes are automatically made to English/cust_text.php or English-UTF8/cust_text.php. But if you want to make changes to the behavior of the mod or to the language, you can manually add these to your customconfig.php file or if you prefer, your language/<language>/cust_text.php file. You only need to add entries that you want to change.

In the event of a problem with your TNG site
- Try using the Mod Manager to remove the mod
- copy your backup admin_secondmenu.php and admin_secondary.php files
Removal of the media is a manual process. But it is not too difficult. For example, to remove the 'Find A Grave' media:
- In administration, go to Media
- Set the Collection to 'Find A Grave'
- You can now click 'Select All' followed by 'Delete Selected' to remove the new media. Repeat for each page of 'Find A Grave' media.
- To remove the 'Find A Grave' media type, simply click on 'Delete' once you set the Collection to 'Find A Grave'
