Introduction
This modification adds a new Default Photo Path in the TNG config.php file for the default photo of
- a person you created with image file name treeID.personID.jpg
- a family you created with image file name treeID.familyID.jpg
- a source you created with image file name treeID.sourceID.jpg.
The new default photo path can be a new folder or a subfolder to the photos folder.
If you do not specify the new Default Photo Path, TNG will continue to behave as before and get the default images from the photos directory.
Developer
This mod was developed by Ken Roy.
Advantages
This mod provides the following advantages:
- allows moving the default photos to a user specified default photo folder for photos that you create with image file names of the form
- treeID.personID.jpg for persons
- treeID.familyID.jpg for families
- treeID.sourceID.jpg for sources
- allows you to specify the default photo path as either:
- a new directory, such as default, or
- a subdirectory such as photos/default
- allows the relief required when approaching the limit on the number of files in one directory that FTP can see or manage
- allows you to keep only photos that are part of photos media collection in the photos folder.
Note that if you don't set the new Default Photo Path TNG will continue to get your default photo from the photos directory.
