Notes



Purpose of the mod

The Maternal And Paternal Lines mod adds four new pages to your TNG system: Two pages for individs 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

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

Requirements

TNG version: 9.1.0
  • A working TNG installation.
  • A backup of all affected files that must be installed (see the list below)
  • An installed current version of the Mod Manager (is already included in TNG v9)
  • All affected language files folders be on your site (see the list below)

Installation

  1. Download the zip file shown in the summary in the upper right corner of the page.
  2. Extract the file and folder with all its contents from the downloaded zip file into the mods folder or FTP the extracted file 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 need to "Update the TNG Variables" in the WordPress Admin pane for the TNG Plugin to get this to work correctly.

In the event of a problem

Changing 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):

Tabs icons

Family Maternal image Family Paternal image 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 you with a set of replacement images:

Tabs icons

Family Maternal image Family Paternal image 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 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!
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.";

Danish custom text by Mogens C. Fenger / Wiki user Mfenger.
Special characters replaced by HTML-enteties and can be used for both Danish and Danish-UTF8.
