Notes

Purpose of the mod

To enable greater legibility of the prefix character used for the Individual Person ID, and remove ambiguity that can result from use of some non-seriffed fonts. The mod changes the font of the Individual and Family IDs on the getperson.php page to Courier and supports English, Dutch, French, German and Spanish languages.

Developer

This mod was developed by Graham Chamberlain.
Based on the code provided by Jerry Milo Johnson.

Requirements

• A working TNG installation. The TNGv9 release has been tested with TNG Version 9.1.2.
• NOTE: The TNGv8 release has not yet been tested. Please contact the developer in the event of any problems.
• An installed current version of the Mod Manager.

Automated Installation

1. Download the mod from the link above. Extract and Upload to the mods folder.
2. Follow the normal automated installation for Mod Manager, as shown in the example Mod Manager - Installing Config Files to install.
3. Note: If the font does not change, clear the browser's cache (Ctrl+F5 is Chrome's shortcut)

Compatibility with Other Mods

• This mod is NOT compatible with Regroup Person Profile and associated mods, but, in essence, they supersede it, because they also use an alternate font to make the "I" in person ID's distinct from "l" and "1".

Mobile Device Compatibility

You may find the default font size and weight unsuitable for display on your mobile device. You can change the settings in the cfg file, or preferably, add your chosen settings to the mytngstyle.css in your template/css folder. Add the following, changing the font-size: and/or font-weight: values to suit your preference (in this example the font-size has been changed to '12px' and the font-weight changed to 'normal':

/*Added for ID_prefix mod*/
.personid .cfact,
.personenkennung .cfact,
.idpersona .cfact,
.idpersonne .cfact,
.persoonid .cfact {
   font-family:courier;
   font-size: 12px;
   font-weight: normal;
   }
.familyid .cfact,    
.familienkennung .cfact,    
.idfamilia .cfact,    
.idfamille .cfact,    
.gezinsid .cfact {    
   font-family:courier;
   font-size: 12px;
   font-weight: normal;
   }

Custom Additions

The mod initially provides support only for English, German, Spanish, French and Dutch languages. Should you wish to enable the formatting of the IDs in other languages you will need to add appropriate style labels to the genstyle.css section of the config file. The following example is for the Person ID:

  .personid .cfact,
  .personenkennung .cfact,
  .idpersona .cfact,
  .idpersonne .cfact,
  .persoonid .cfact {
     font-family:courier;
     font-size: 14px;
     font-weight: bold;}

Each of the style labels preceding '.cfact' is derived from the text label value for $text['personid'] in text.php for the relevant language. To add support for another language, you need to add a line:

   '.xxxx .cfact,' (without quotes)

where xxxx will be the text variable definition with all non-alpha, and accented characters stripped out.
