Purpose of the mod

The Maternal And Paternal Lines mod adds four new pages to your TNG system: Two pages for individuals and two pages for families. The selected person/family is followed from mother-to-mother (Maternal Line) or from father-to-father (Paternal Line) as far back as is possible to trace.

• Individ's tree is displayed including the line's spouse and siblings.
• Family's both trees are displayed side-by-side, with spouse but not siblings, making it easy to compare the time-spans for the generations.

Developer

This mod was developed by Erik Hoppe
Now maintained by Ken Roy who posted the updates for PHP 8 made by Brent Hemphill

Credit for the mod also goes to , Jacques Deslauriers,Henny Savenije and Mogens C. Fenger for German, French, Dutch and Danish translations resp. and for the suggestions, testing and patience provided by the alpha and beta testers:

• 
• Ulf Klinteberg
• Henny Savenije

Ken Roy has also been deeply involved in the later versions. Loads of Thanks!

Mod Conflicts

The below is added to all involved mods: Of my mods, some demand a special order to Install and Uninstall. This is one of them. Installing / Uninstalling in the wrong order may create chaos at a later stage. The mods may signal Okay to Install but nevertheless may not be.

Order to INSTALL:

All mods below the one you want to Install, must first be Uninstalled (if you use them). See the Uninstall order below. You can Install them after.

1. Maternal And Paternal Lines
2. Scrollbox
3. Public Access Control
4. Forum for TNG
5. Fixed Family Tab

Order to UNINSTALL: All mods above the one you want to Uninstall, must first be Uninstalled (if you use them). You can Install them after. See the Install order above.

1. Fixed Family Tab
2. Forum for TNG
3. Public Access Control
4. Scrollbox
5. Maternal And Paternal Lines

Example:
Suppose you use the Scrollbox and Fixed Family Tab mods. Now you want to install Maternal And Paternal Lines. As you can see in the Install Order both the used mods are below the Maternal And Paternal Lines mod and therefore you must first Uninstall the mods in the Uninstall order: First Uninstall the Fixed Family Tab mod and then the Scrollbox mod. Now you can install all three mods in the Install order: First you Install Maternal And Paternal Lines, second the Scrollbox mod and finally Fixed Family Tab.

Requirements

TNG version:

≥ 9.1.0

• A working TNG installation.
• For TNG <10.1: All affected language files be on your site (see the list below)
• A backup of all affected files (see the list below)
• An installed current version of the Mod Manager (is already included in TNG v9 and above)

Installation

1. Click on the download link for your TNG version, shown in the summary in the upper right corner of the page.
2. Un-zip the downloaded file and you will find a folder: Open it.
3. Move/copy/FTP the .cfg file and the folder named maternal_paternal_linesXXX (dep. on version) to the mods folder of your TNG system.
4. Follow the normal automated installation for Mod Manager, as shown in the example Mod Manager - Installing Config Files to install the mod.
5. 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 to work correctly.

After installation

Empty Your Cache!
The mod adds to genstyle.css so it has to be re-loaded for the styles to take effect.
Instructions for how to are found here

In the event of a problem

• Try using the Mod Manager Remove capability
• Replace all affected files with the copies you made before the installation.
• TNG Community Forums: TNG Specific - Code Discussion - Addons

Replacing the default icons/images

The default tab icons and the default images at the Family pages are supposed to show a spinning wheel (Maternal) and a sword (Paternal):

Tab icons, Family page Maternal image and Paternal image

They are selected because of the Swedish expressions for those lines (translated) that are Spinning side and Sword side. The English expressions are Distaff side and Spear side - Read more here: The Flip Side Of Distaff

If you don't like the images, I provide a set of replacement images:

Tab icons, Family page Maternal image and Paternal image

Open the folder named maternal_paternal_lines, in which you will find the folder replacement_images.
If you do this prior to installation of the mod: Move the replacement images out of the replacement_images folder and let them replace the images in the outer folder maternal_paternal_lines.
If you do this after installation of the mod: Move the replacement images to the (system root)img/ folder and let them replace the images there.

Custom Text Additions

Note: The config file includes the Danish, Dutch, English, French, German and Swedish language custom text.
For other languages you can modify the config file to add the custom text or manually add to whatever language you like.

English custom text For Reference Only! Danish, Dutch, French, German and Swedish custom text translations may be changed by editing the respective custom_text.php file.

$text['xerxxSpinnrub'] = "Maternal Line";
$text['xerxxSvardrub'] = "Paternal Line";
$text['xerxxSpinnrub2'] = "Maternal Lines";
$text['xerxxSvardrub2'] = "Paternal Lines";
$text['xerxxEjforaldrar'] = "No parents are registered.";

Customizing Background Colors

If you are color-blind and cannot distinquish the direct line from the siblings, you can customize any of the following colors in your template/css/mytngstyle.css

.xerxxline {
   background-color: #E9E9FF;
}

.xerxxspouse {
   background-color: #FFFFFF;
}

.xerxxsibling {
   background-color: #E4E4E4;
}

for example, you could change the direct line to another color

/* override Maternal and Paternal lines colors */
.xerxxline {
   background-color: #D9FFB3;
}

Here is a link to a page that shows 140 colours with hex codes: w3schools - Colornames

Uninstalling the mod

If you want to completely Remove (uninstall) this mod and all its tables, you should

1. click the Remove button to uninstall the mod and then
2. click the Delete button to delete the config file from the mods folder.
