The new format is best described by the [[#Visualizations|Visualizations]] below, but I'll add two quick notes here:
+
The mod two ways that the Person Profile can be made more or less compact.
# Even I prefer the native format from time to time, so this mod now has an optional spacing control that can switch between the more and less compact presentations.
+
# For each event, the date, place, and value can be made more compact by displaying in one HTML table cell.
# This mod adds what I call an '''[[Inner Mod Menus|Inner Mod Menu]]''' to the Inner Menu of the Person Profile.  Inner Mod Menus provide quick links to information  about a mod and to the options editor.  I primarily use them Admin mods.  The Inner Mod Menu in the Person Profile is visible only to site admins.
+
# The birth/death/age data for relatives (parents, spouses, children) can be expanded to occupy three lines.
 +
Different users are expected to prefer different formats at different times (perhaps depending on the overall density of a particular Person Profile.) Thus, the format of each of these aspects of the page can be controlled both by mod options and by a '''Spacing''' button on the page - and the spacing button can be suppressed through a mod option.
  
 
== Mod Options ==
 
== Mod Options ==
# The initial spacing level.
+
# Four options can be specified for Anonymous Visitors, Logged-in Users, and Administrators (i.e. there are 12 checkboxes)
#* '''Less''' - My format...Event dates and places (and sometimes values) are strung together in one table cell. The padding within table cells is also reduced, resulting in less whitespace, but more data on the screen.
+
## Start with ''less'' Event Date/Place/Value spacing
#* '''More''' - Event dates, places, and values are displayed in almost exactly the way they appear in the native Person Profile. Event dates and places are in separate table cells, and event values follow on another line.
+
## Start with ''less'' spacing in relatives' birth/death/age data.
# Show a spacing control in the Inner Menu.
+
## Show a spacing control in the "Inner Menu" - the horizontal light-on-dark menu that is immediately below the tab menu.
#* The spacing control is a button at the right end of the Inner Menu. Since there are only two spacing settings, the button label is either '''<span class='white-space:nowrap'>+Spacing</span>''' or '''<span class='white-space:nowrap'>-Spacing</span>'''.
+
## Show a second spacing control further down in the profile.
#* If the control is not visible, then the spacing level cannot be changed.
+
# Age format:
 +
#* (75 years) – the native format
 +
#* (age 75) and (Living, age 75)
  
Note that [[Regroup Person Profile]] also implements two spacing levels and an identical spacing control.  When both mods are installed, they essentially merge the two sets of controls into one. That is,
+
These options are defined and edited at Admin>>Setup>>General&nbsp;Settings, in the new subform '''Mod&nbsp;Settings&nbsp;Blocks''', where the options for various mods are organized into '''[https://tng.lythgoes.net/wiki/index.php?title=Mod_Settings_Blocks Mod&nbsp;Settings&nbsp;Blocks]'''. The options can also be reached in the traditional way - through the mod's '''Edit Options''' button in the Mod Manager.
# The two spacing settings are always the same, that is, both are '''More'', or both are '''Less''' in both mods.
 
# The two flags that determine whether the spacing control is visible also are always the same.
 
# When both mods say "Display the spacing control", only one control is displayed.
 
 
 
In addition, the mod options are custom TNG settings that are defined at Admin>>Setup>>General&nbsp;Settings, in a new '''[https://tng.lythgoes.net/wiki/index.php?title=Mod_Settings_Blocks Mod Settings Block]''' in a new subform called '''Robin's&nbsp;Mods'''.

These related mods also affect the Person Profile. (Note that some of these mods have side effects in other TNG programs.)

{{RobinBoilerplate | text=msb}}
# [[Regroup Person Profile]] - Regroups and re-positions data in the Person Profile the data in the Person Profile, and adds headings above each block of data.

# [[Regroup Person-Date Place]] (this mod) - Affects the formatting of and white space around Event dates and places.
 
# [[Regroup Person-Move Media]] - Moves the media files above the map
 
# [[Regroup Person-No Living Data]] - Suppresses display of ANY data about a living or private person the user doesn't have rights to.  By default, TNG will show some data, plus spouses, parents, and children.
 
# [[Regroup Person-Parent Rel]] - Hides "natural" or "birth" relationships between the person and the parents.
 
# [[Regroup Person-Sources]] - Starts the display of source citations with just the Source ID, Title, and Author, and provides buttons so the user can display Source details and/or Citation details, for individual source citations and for all source citations.
 
 
 
This mod also generates information that ''can be'' used by [[Show Mod Names]], but it does not depend on [[Show Mod Names]].

==Installation==
This mod uses the standard installation procedure, though it should be noted that this mod contains a mod subfolder that is shared with other mods that implement '''[https://tng.lythgoes.net/wiki/index.php?title=Inner_Mod_Menus Inner Mod Menus]''' and '''[https://tng.lythgoes.net/wiki/index.php?title=Mod_Settings_Blocks Mod Settings Blocks]'''. Because of the shared subfolder, as you unzip or copy the mod, you might get a warning noting that a file or folder already exists.  You can just ignore that warning.<br>{{RobinInstallationBoilerplate}}

| TNGv13.0.4 added code that <i>could</i> display relatives genders along with their ages wherever relatives' birth/death/age are displayed in the Person Profile.

Notes
This mod can work independently of the other mods in the Regroup Person family.


Purpose of the Mod

This mod formats Event dates, places, and values more compactly than the native Person Profile. I'm not about to say that I've improved it, but I do generally prefer the more compact format, and some other TNG administrators have said that they like it, too.

The mod two ways that the Person Profile can be made more or less compact.

  1. For each event, the date, place, and value can be made more compact by displaying in one HTML table cell.
  2. The birth/death/age data for relatives (parents, spouses, children) can be expanded to occupy three lines.

Different users are expected to prefer different formats at different times (perhaps depending on the overall density of a particular Person Profile.) Thus, the format of each of these aspects of the page can be controlled both by mod options and by a Spacing button on the page - and the spacing button can be suppressed through a mod option.

Mod Options

  1. Four options can be specified for Anonymous Visitors, Logged-in Users, and Administrators (i.e. there are 12 checkboxes)
    1. Start with less Event Date/Place/Value spacing
    2. Start with less spacing in relatives' birth/death/age data.
    3. Show a spacing control in the "Inner Menu" - the horizontal light-on-dark menu that is immediately below the tab menu.
    4. Show a second spacing control further down in the profile.
  2. Age format:
    • (75 years) – the native format
    • (age 75) and (Living, age 75)

These options are defined and edited at Admin>>Setup>>General Settings, in the new subform Mod Settings Blocks, where the options for various mods are organized into Mod Settings Blocks. The options can also be reached in the traditional way - through the mod's Edit Options button in the Mod Manager.

Related Mods

The Mod Settings Blocks mod packages this mod's options into what I call a "Mod Settings Block", which is a set of form fields that formatted and labeled so that it stands out among other options in an Admin>>Setting form. Mod Settings Blocks is a prerequisite for this mod; it must be installed before this mod can be installed.

This mod is compatible with, and part of, My "Regroup Person" family of mods.    [Show the family members]

[Hide details]

My "Regroup Person" family of mods all affect the Person Profile. All of them can be used independently of Regroup Person Profile, which was the the first and is the most complex member of the family.(I'll add that the reputation of the family has been stained by the fact that Regroup Person Profile is distinctly complex and is incompatible with an awkward number of other Person Profile mods. But, in truth, Regroup Person-Date Place is the only other member of the family that is similarly complex and invasive.)

  1. Regroup Person Profile - Rearranges the data in and spacing and formatting of the Person Profile. Also (optionally) adds siblings.
  2. Regroup Person-Branch Members - Turns each of the profiled person's branch names into a hyperlink that pops up a list of branch members. Options control whether anonymous visitors and/or logged-in users are allowed to see branch details.
  3. Regroup Person-Child2Parent - Hides the display of selected relationships (typically "birth", which would be assumed if it were not displayed) between the profiled person and that person's parents and children.
  4. Regroup Person-Date Place - Adjusts the spacing used to display (1) Event dates, places, and values and/or (2) The name/birth/death/age data for the profiled person's relatives.
  5. Regroup Person-Family Indicators - Based on Jeff Robison's Family Indicators Mod, this mod adds flags (i.e. "indicators") next to the names of the profiled person's relatives. The flags provide information about and links to several aspects of those relatives' relatives, including popup profiles and ancestor or descendant charts.
  6. Regroup Person-Gender Before Birth - Simply moves the Gender "event" so that it appears above the Birth event. (As you would expect, this mod is incompatible with Regroup Person-Remove Gender)
  7. Regroup Person-Hide Branches - Hides branch names from anonymous visitors and/or logged-in users who are not assigned to the branch.
  8. Regroup Person-Move Media - Simply moves the media files above the event map.
  9. Regroup Person-No Living Data - Suppresses display of ANY data about a living or private person the user doesn't have rights to see. By default, TNG will show some data, plus spouses, parents, and children.
  10. Regroup Person-Remove Gender - Removes the Gender event (the sex) from the event tables, leaving the gender icon next to the name as the sole representation of the person's gender. (As you would expect, this mod is incompatible with Regroup Person-Gender Before Birth)
  11. Regroup Person-Sources - Allows some source and citation data to be hidden for brevity, and to be displayed as desired.

Compatibility

Given the number of mods that affect the Person Profile, and the complexity of some of those mods, I would expect there to be some mod conflicts, but I haven't encountered them yet.

Installation

This mod includes a typical mod subfolder, with the same base name as the mod's .cfg file. The subfolder is atypical in that no files in it are installed to working TNG folders. However, it does contain critical files that contain the mod's language strings, which the mod does not add to standard cust_text.php files. Instead, the PHP code modified by this mod loads the language strings from files in the mod's languages/ subfolder. Read more about this technique.

When invoked from the Regroup Person-Date Place "Change Mod Options" link in the Inner Mod Menu (the previous screen clip), only the options for the selected mod are shown. You can still click the triangular arrow or the subform name ("Robin's Mods") to see all of the Mod Settings Blocks in this subform.

Spacing Styling

The two spacing schemes implemented by this mod have identical HTML; they are just styled differently.   [See Details]

Events:
  • The native code uses one row of the layout table for the event date and place, and a second row, when needed, for a value. It also places the date and place in two table cells, with a fixed width for the date cell.
  • The modded code uses one row of the layout table for each event, whether there is an event value or, and combines the data, place, and value cells into one table cell. The date and place are in divs that are expected to float next to each other, and the value is in a third div that may float next to the date and place, or may wind up on a separate line within the same table cell. Styling controls whether the date and place abut each other, or have padding and a border between them, and where the value is positioned. In the more compact spacing, the value is allowed to be on the same line as the date/place, but it will float to a new line when it cannot fit. In the wider spacing, the styling is changed so that
    1. The date div has a minimum width,
    2. The date and place are separated by a side border,
    3. The value is forced to a new line, and
    4. A horizontal border is placed between the date/place and the value.

Revision History

Mod Version TNG Version Date Note
14.0.4.20c 14.0.4 21Mar2024 Accommodated underlying changes in TNGv14.0.4
14.0.3.20b 14.0.3 11Nov2023 Accommodated underlying changes in TNGv14.0.3
14.0.0.20 14.0-14.0.2 28Jan2023 No functional changes. Upgraded to TNGv14
13.0.4.19a 13.0.4 09Jun2021 TNGv13.0.4 added code that could display relatives genders along with their ages wherever relatives' birth/death/age are displayed in the Person Profile. However, I do not believe that the language strings for that are needed for the gender exist, thus I do not believe that this change in the PHP code will result in any changes to the Person Profile.
13.0.0.19a 13.0-13.0.3 09Jun2021
  1. Remove some redundant spacing that is generated when Add Person Siblings Row is also installed.
  2. Hides the suggestion icons and the place details spyglass icons when in Format for Printing mode
13.0.0.19 13.0-13.0.3 17Sep2020
  1. Coordinates differently with Regroup Person Profile so that both aspects of spacing are controlled by this mod. In TNGv12 (and version 18* of these two mods), each mod controlled one aspect of spacing.
  2. Added an Inner Mod Menu, which is visible only if the optional Inner Mod Menu mod is installed.
12.0.0.18a 12.0 - 12.2+ 16Dec2019
  1. Provided an alternate display format that looks much like the native Person Profile, and an optional spacing control to switch between the new formats.
  2. Added an Inner Mod Menu, and placed the mod options in a Mod Settings Block
12.0.0.15 12.0+ 24Jul2018 No functional changes; made compatible with TNGv12.
10.0.1.15 10.0.1-10.1.3 20 Feb 2016 No new end-user functionality; just added Show Mod Names functionality and dependency, and updated the mod number to stay in sync with Regroup Person Profile.
10.0.1.14 10.0.1-10.1.3 17Jul2015 Fixed two old bugs that date back to Regroup Person Profile v1:
  1. Some event notes were displaying in the wrong HTML table cells.
  2. Some source citation references next to event data were not wrapped in brackets.
10.0.1.13 10.0.1-10.1 03Jan2015 Minor cleanup of end-of-line spacing
10.0.1.12 10.0.1-10.1.0 26Dec2014 Initial release; separated this mod from the larger Regroup Person Profile mod to reduce the chances and consequences of that mod running into conflicts.
