Purpose of the Mod

Controls the amount of Source and Citation Details displayed in the Sources section of the Person Profile.

Compatibility With Other Mods

This mod was separated from Regroup Person Profile to allow Regroup Person Profile to be compatible with Citation Master. Thus, this mod is not compatible with Citation Master. I believe that it is compatible with all other mods that affect Regroup Person Profile.

Visualization of this Mod

BEFORE:
Regroup person-source-before.png

Regroup Person Profile has removed the left-hand column with the label "Sources", and put "Sources" in a heading above the block.

AFTER:
Regroup person-source-after.png

It is pure coincidence that the number of sources in this record fills the box without scrolling.

When you first click on the TNG Print button, the Sources box show just the Source ID, Title, and Author. But the pretty-print sources box is not constrained; it shows all of the information you select.

Mod Parameters

There is one mod parameter: $authorModParam. Its update screen reads like this:

If you're getting your data via Gedcom from Ancestry.com's Family Tree Maker (FTM), a LOT of your source authors are inaccurately set to "Ancestry.com". This parameter tell the program how to deal with those Ancestry.com authors. Enter:

  1. To treat "Ancestry.com" like other authors; i.e. always display it,
  2. To treat it as a source detail; i.e. initially hidden,
  3. To ignore it. (The default)
