The Census Plus International is an alternative to the Census Feature mod designed for Individual Census events. While It can be used to link to Family Census events, it may not always behave the same way it does for individual census events. See Census_Plus_International_and_Family_Census
If you were previously using the Census Feature mod, then please use the Previous Census Feature users section below for instructions when installing this mod as a replacement.
If you are upgrading from v9102 to v9103, please follow the Upgrading instructions

Notes
This mod is an alternative to the Census Feature mod so you need to choose which one you install. They cannot both be on the system at the same time, since they both modify the tngtabs1.css files


Purpose of the mod

The Census Plus International mod allows you to display census transcript information for various countries on an individual page. It adds a Census Plus International menu to the TNG Admin screen which in turn allows an administrator to create, import, edit, search, find, update, or link international census records to individuals or a family.
Ancestry.com members can automatically import census records for the US Federal Census, UK Census, or Census of Canada.

The Census Plus International mod includes the following capabilities:

  • it uses the TNG Find Person and Advanced person search to find persons to be linked to the census transcript.
  • it uses TNG Name Order option to display Census Plus transcript on Individual Page
  • it adds a Person Preview to Census Plus Transcript Display provided by Jeff Robison
  • it allows you to Add census transcripts that cannot be imported, such as the Ireland, Scotland, Acadian, New France, and Lower Canada censuses
  • it can be used to add special census or other country census series that are not specifically defined
  • it allows the use of media collections or the use of alternate file names for your census image display
  • it allows the use of apostrophes in person and place names
  • it imports the actual census line numbers where available and allows the user to update them
  • it repeats the heading line as a table footer line for readability
  • it provides a new search capability modeled on the TNG people search
  • it adds several fields that better allow documenting your census source
  • it provides a script to copy the Census Feature tables if you were using it previously.

Script names and table names are different from the Census Feature mod, so there should be no collisions, although both mods cannot be installed at the same time since both include modifications to the TNG tngtabs1.css file to support a 7th tab.

Developer

This mod was developed by Janice Nation, Jeff Robison, and Ken Roy

V9.0.0.2 enhancements made by Janice and Ken to the original Census Feature mod by Gerald 'Jerry' Leehan were used along with parts of Jerry's original mod.

Credit for the mod also goes to Gerald 'Jerry' Leehan for the initial design and concept of the Census Feature mod and for the suggestions and testing provided by the alpha and beta testers:

V9100-V9102 V9103-V9104
  • Bryan Larson
  • Klaus Dieter Cook
  • Graham Chamberlain
  • Fred Feldman
  • Heather Fueurhelm
  • Roger Mitchell
  • Bryan Larson
  • Dave Foster
  • Graham Chamberlain
  • Klaus Dieter Cook
  • Randy Farrar
  • Rick Hooley

Requirements

TNG version: 9.1.0
  • this mod requires jQuery, therefore it is only available for TNG 9.1 and above
  • A working TNG installation.
  • A backup of all affected files (see the list in the summary in the upper right corner of the page)
  • An installed current version of the Mod Manager (is already included in TNG v9)
  • All templates/templateN folders be on your site
  • Both English and English-UTF8 folders be on your site
  • Census custom event type must be set to Accept.
    You can use personally created census event as long as the description contains census or the tag contains cens
  • for multi-language support to work, the Census Events must use either the CENS tag or contain census in the description
  • The Census custom event date can be a full date
  • two different census for the same year require two different census event types for linking
    for example the 1850 and 1860 US Federal Census and US Slave Schedule cannot be linked to the same census event
    the recommendation is to define a Slave Census event for the US Slave Schedule - note that the description must include the word census
  • Household number must be assigned for this mod to work
  • PersonID must be linked to the census entry for the person to be listed in the Census Plus transcript display
  • If you use a language other than English for TNG Admin, you need to
    • create the custom text entries in cust_text.php for your language
    • copy and translate the cp_text.php file from the English folder

Installation

  1. Download the appropriate zip file as shown in the summary in the upper right corner of the page.
  2. Extract the files and folder with all its contents from the downloaded zip file into the mods folder or FTP the extracted files and folder with its contents to your mods folder.
  3. Follow the normal automated installation for Mod Manager, as shown in the example Mod Manager - Installing Config Files to install the mod.
  4. Note - if you're using the tng.php WordPress-TNG Plugin, you might need to "Update the TNG Variables" in the WordPress Admin pane for the TNG Plugin to get this to work correctly.
  5. Note - if you're using a different language than English for TNG Admin, you will need to copy the cp_text.php file from the languages/English or English-UTF8 folder to your language folder after installing the mod, before the buttons in the Mod Manager for the Census Plus International mod will work.

Previous Census Feature users

NOTE: If you previously ran the Census Feature mod do not follow the First Time Install steps on the Mod Manager screen, but use the following steps.

  1. Uninstall the Census Feature mod but do NOT drop the tables
  2. Install the Census Plus International mod
  3. Copy the Census Feature Tables
  4. Create the Census Plus Veterans Table (unless you previously were alpha testing the Census Feature v9003-alpha-7 release)
  5. Update the Census Plus Tables
  6. Update the Census Plus Summary Table
  7. Backup your Census Plus tables
  8. Check Table Integrity
    This step will update the new cp_data cplineno and the cp_link eventID fields and fix integrity issues within the Census Plus tables
  9. Skip the First Time Install steps

Note that Copying the Census veteran table to Census Plus veteran cp_veteran table will result in the following error:

Cannot execute query: CREATE TABLE cp_veteran LIKE cen_veteran;

The copy was left in place to support those who were alpha testing an update to the Census Feature mod that was never released.

First Time Post Install Actions

  1. Click the Create Census Plus Tables button shown on the mod manager screen to add the census plus tables if they do not exist.
  2. Click the Create Census and transcript button on the Mod Manager screen to create the census and transcriptsource folder if they do not already exist.

Upgrading

NOTE that v10 of the mod is the same as v9104d so you should not need to do any updating steps. Just install the new mod.

Likewise there are no upgrading steps if replacing V9104d or v10000, other than Creating the Census Plus table indices added in v10001

  • Census Plus International Upgrades: You should
  1. Create a backup of the Census Plus Tables before you remove the mod and do the upgrade
  2. Create a backup of the extensions/cp_settings.inc file that contains your Mod Manager Edit changes to the Census Plus International default options
  3. Remove (uninstall) the currently installed version of the mod but not the tables since they will contain your census data
  4. Download and extract the new version of the mod
  5. FTP the extracted .cfg file and the censusplus_v910n or v1000n folder and all its contents to your TNG mods folder (or extract on site)
  6. Delete the previous version of the mod and manually delete the censusplus_v910n or v1000n folder
  7. Install the new version of the mod which should leave your tables and directories intact.
    • Upgrading from v10001, go to Step 8
    • Upgrading from v9104c/d/e or v10000
    1. Create the Census Plus table indices (if you created the indices in a prior upgrade, skip this step)
    2. go to Step 8
    • Upgrading from the Census Feature v9.0.0.2 or v9.2.1.2 to this mod, you need to click the buttons in the Mod Manager screen for the Census Plus International mod to
    1. Copy the Census Feature tables
    2. Create the Census Plus Veteran table
    3. Update the Census Plus Tables
    4. Create the Census Plus table indices
    5. Backup your Census Plus Tables
    6. Check Table Integrity
    1. Update the Census Plus Summary table
    2. Update the Census Plus Tables
    3. Create the Census Plus table indices
    4. Check Table Integrity
  8. Note - if you're using the tng.php WordPress-TNG Plugin, you need to "Update the TNG Variables" in the WordPress Admin pane for the TNG Plugin to get this mod to work correctly.
  9. Create a backup of the Census Plus Tables after the upgrade before you make any changes
  10. Using the backup of the extensions/cp_settings.inc file Edit the Mod Manager option to set your preferred processing options.
  • TNG release upgrades: It is not necessary to remove (uninstall) the mod prior to installing the TNG upgrade. You will likely need to do a Clean up after the upgrade and then re-install the mod.

Custom Text

This MOD contains custom text in both cust_text.php and a cp_text.php file in the English / English-UTF8 folders. A French version of the custom text is available in the download section in the top right hand corner of the page.


TNG version: 10.1.0

The TNG 10.1 version of the mod will now use the English/cp_text.php if the other language cp_text.php is not found.

cust_text.php

The following custom text entries need to be created in your language, if you do not use English for TNG Admin

// Added for TNG Admin by the Census Plus International mod
$admtext['cenplus'] = 'Census Plus International';
$admtext['cpitems'] = 'Find | Add | Edit | Delete | Import | Update | Link IDs | Image';
$admtext['cpedit'] = 'Edit';
$admtext['cpbase'] = 'Census Plus Base';
$admtext['cpdata'] = 'Census Plus Data';
$admtext['cplink'] = 'Census Plus Links';
$admtext['cpsummary'] = 'Census Plus Summary';
$admtext['cpveteran'] = 'Census Plus Veteran';
$admtext['checkcensus'] = 'Check Census Links';
$admtext['cpeventIDsupdated'] = 'Census Event IDs were updated in the CP Link Table.';
$admtext['cpeventIDsOK'] = 'CP Link Table integrity is OK - no changes were made to event IDs.';
$admtext['cplinknoevent'] = 'links do not have a Census Event created, or the event type, or the date has changed.';
$admtext['cpfixdesktop'] = 'To fix this you need to update your desktop genealogy program to add the Census Event fact for the Census Year to Person ID indicated.';
$admtext['cpimportnew'] = 'Then export a GEDCOM and import your updated GEDCOM.';
$admtext['cpselecttree'] = 'You must select a Tree to proceed with the census link check.';
$text['findcpperson'] = 'Find personID to be linked';

cp_text.php

Likewise if you do not use English for TNG Admin, you need to copy the English/cp_text.php file to your language folder and translate as appropriate.

Only the section of cp_text.php marked as Text that should be translated for public side of Census Plus International needs to be translated if you use English for your TNG Admin

Restrictions

  • If you import a GEDCOM as a way of supporting your web site, you must define the Census events (or facts) in your desktop genealogy program so you do not lose the events on a GEDCOM import
v9104 added a Check Census Links button to the Import Secondary Process that allows checking that you have all the correct Census Events in your desktop
  • The image file name in the census folder must be in the following format dbid=6743&iid=4241561-00594.jpg that matches the ancestryID column in the cp_base and cp_data database tables
You can use other file names provided you update the Image URL using the Image tab
  • The household number must be the same for all members in a household.
    • If a family crosses images, where the Head of household is at the bottom of one page, and part of the family is at the top of the next page, you must enter the same household number for both transcript sources when assigning household numbers.
    • If you link to Family Census events, there is NO way the mod can display both census images, since it is designed to work with Individual Census events
  • for multi-language support to work, you must use either the CENS tag or the description must contain census in the TNG Event Type
  • if you want to use Family Census event, then you
  • you cannot add more than 50 lines to a census transcript
this restriction is imposed by PHP not allowing more than 1000 input fields
the household summary type census allow more than 50 lines
  • Household that are split within a Census Year must use the same household number and the Transcript ID must be sequential.
Imported census will be sequential, so the restriction is related to manually added census transcripts.
The code in v9104 Add was updated to support adding a page before or after

Known Issues

  • Template 5 width in some cases, like the 1830 and 1840 transcripts with household summary counts will generated table entries that exceed the page content width
You will need to increase the width for maintable class to something like 1100 px
  • Display on iPad or tablets where the screen width is 1024 will cause the Census Plus transcript display on the Individual (getperson.php) page to exceed the page boundary
