Notes


Purpose of the Mod

Controls the amount of Source Citation Details displayed in the Sources (really "Source Citations') section of the Person Profile. It starts with just a list of source names. Buttons let you show all of the citation details, source details, and/or citation images. One-letter hyperlinks let you see or hide details for source citation..

Mod Options

None

Other Mods

Regroup Person family

These related mods all affect the Person Profile, and, of course, are all compatible with Regroup Person-Sources.

  1. Regroup Person Profile - Rearranges personal events, creates headings between blocks of data, several other tweaks. There is a conflict between v18b of both mods. It was resolved with v18c of both mods.
  1. Regroup Person-Date Place - Combines event date, place, and description into one table cell
  2. Regroup Person-Move Media - Moves the media files above the map
  3. 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.
  4. Regroup Person-Parent Rel - Hides "natural" or "birth" relationships between the person and the parents.
  5. Regroup Person-Sources (this mod)- 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..

Conflicts

  • This mod is not compatible with Citation Master. Please let me know of any other incompatibilities (or add them to this list).
  • Regroup Person-Sources v18b had a conflict with Regroup Person Profile v18b, but that conflict has been resolved with v18c of both mods.

Installation

Files Installed

This mod is packaged with a mod subfolder that is shared with several other mods. The shared folder RR-shared_mod_includes_v12.0.0.3 contains files that help to manage mod options in many of my mods:

  1. rrshared_innermodmenu3.php - Inner Mod Menus
  2. rrshared_modsettingsblocks3.php - Mod Settings Blocks
  3. img/rrshared_wikilogo.gif - An icon that links to a mod's TNG Wiki page from an Inner Mod Menu or Mod Settings Block

Each mod that contains the shared folder may install some or all of its shared files, depending on whether those files already exist, and whether that mod needs that particular file. Once a file from the shared folder has been installed (by any mod), that file will not be overwritten or removed by the subsequent installation or un-installation of any mod (including this one), nor will its presence or absence generate any Mod Manager errors.

If you unzip mod distribution files directly into your mods folder, then the presence of the shared subfolder and the installation of its files should be invisible to you. But if you generally copy mod subfolders to your mods folder after you have unzipped the distribution file, then you need to make sure to copy the folder RR-shared_mod_includes_v12.0.0.3 (well, unless you are confident that it is already in your mods folder because it was part of another mod).

Visualizations

BEFORE:
Regroup person-source-before.png
After Installation, as the page loads
  1. All of the Source Citations have been compressed to show only the Source ID, Title, and Author.
  2. There are now three buttons above the Source Citations block. They control three elements of a Source Citation - the Source details, the Citation details, and a possible Citation image.
  3. Not the three one-letter buttons next to the minimized Source Citation. "S", "C", and "I" toggle the display of that Source Citation's Source details, Citation details, and Image. If any of those components are missing (and all of them could be), the appropriate letter will be omitted. See item 2 and 10 in this screen clip.

After Clicking the "Show Source Details" button
  1. Note that the "Show Source Details" button has been changed to say "Hide", but the three one-letter links have not changes. At this point, the "S" link would hide the corresponding Source Details, and the other two letters would open their data.

After Clicking the "Show Citation Details" button
  1. Now, the Citations button said "Hide Citation Details", and the one-letter links have not changed.
  2. Elements of the Citation details are labeled for clarity. "Citation" is a label for the whole citations section, and "Page" and "Text" are labels for those fields.
Regroup person-source-after-citations.png
With Regroup Person Profile Installed
  1. Regroup person Profile changes the Person Profile layout so that the mostly-wasted dark band on the left is replaced by a "Source Citations" heading.
  2. It moves the buttons to the right, and adds a very significant button labeled "Expand". The "Expand" button eliminates the limit on the Source Citation box, so that you can see more of the data than you can without the "Expand" button.

Yes, of course, it would be nice if Regroup Person-Sources offered the "Expand" button two, and I can coordiated the two mods so that they both generate a button and only one of the buttons is visible. But, well, maybe later. (Feedback on my mods almost always persuades me to prioritize the issue I'm getting feedback about.)
