Since so many of the TNG Mods impact the Individual page display, the following table was created

  • to show all the different TNG mods that make changes to the getperson.php module, and
  • to show the inter-dependencies of some of the mods.

Note that a couple of the mods are in other TNG modules but still change or impact the Individual page display. The Notes column identifies the module that is changed.
