Notes |
Purpose of the Mod
To rearrange the data in the person profile in a way that I find more readable, with less scrolling. See the Visualizations or [a detailed description]
- The most basic Person information is listed first, then parents, marriages, and only then, "Other Personal Data".
- Basic information includes (among other facts and events) Name, Sex, Birth, Death, Burial, Cause of Death, Alias, and Race.
- Subheadings have been added above what I call "event blocks" - the blocks of data for personal data, parents, marriages, the event map, source citations, etc.
- Metadata elements (primary personID, familyIDs, treename, branches, edit date, links to edit pages) are no longer presented as if they were events. Some metadata elements have been moved to the person's heading, and others are placed immediately above the relevant event blocks.
- The tree name is not displayed if there is only one tree.
- Under the control of a mod option, the personID for relatives (parents, spouses, children, siblings) can be displayed
- The letter I in personIDs is displayed in a serif font to distinguish it from the digit 1 and the lower-case letter l.
- The Event Map is enlarged a bit, as I've eliminated the mostly-blank shaded left-hand column, and tweaked the event list adjacent to the map. The entire map can also be hidden and re-displayed.
- The Source Citations box is also enlarged with the elimination of the mostly-blank left-hand column. New bolding of the Source titles improve readability a bit. (See also Regroup Person-Sources)
- In the Format for Printing page, the cell height for the Source Citations is ignored, under the assumption that, when you print the page, you want to see all of the sources.
- Under the control of a mod setting, the person's siblings can be displayed, and can be presented either with the Parent data or with the Person data.
- When siblings are displayed, half-siblings can be included, and are flagged with the ½ symbol.
- A mod option allows the Person Notes to be displayed in places not covered by the related TNG system option, for example, up near the top of the page in the "Personal Information" data block.
See also Visualizations, Related Mods, Incompatible Mods, and additional comments in the .cfg file itself.
Mod Options
This mod has numerous options in a mod settings block. See a Visualization
[Show details]
- Show dates of last edit" - There's not much point in showing change dates if the data was loaded by a Gedcom Import, since they are all the same.
- For Relatives, (that is, for parents, spouses, children, and siblings) display the Gender Icon and/or personID.
- Options about displaying siblings:
- Where to Display Siblings - "Don't display them", "With personal data", or "With parent's data".
- Show half-siblings, which works only when they are displayed with personal data.
- Number of siblings to show when the Person Profile loads: "none", "all", or some specific number.
- Since users aren't always interested in siblings and a list of eight or ten or fifteen siblings can take up a lot of space, you can set this option to display only a few siblings to start. A hyperlink that says "{n} more" will expose the remaining siblings.
- These siblings options are similar to those provided by the Add Parents Children Row and Add Person Siblings Row. Those mods used to be compatible with Regroup Person Profile so that you select which way to handle siblings. But they are no long compatible, and there is a very good chance that I will remove this feature in favor those two mods.
- Where to put notes' - Allows several possibilities, including (but not limited to) displaying personal notes very close to the the top of the Person Profile.
- This option overrides the TNG configuration variable that provides more limited control of the placement of notes, and replaces that option in the configuration page with a note.
- Adjust the styling of templates that use .art‐content‐layout:
- This option is driven by a styling conflict between Regroup Person Profile and certain TNG Templates. The styling problem manifests itself by using only half of the screen width to display the Person Profile. I may have fixed this conflict, but I can't be sure that it works in all templates. if you encounter the half-screen display, just try this option. If it still doesn't work, please let me know.
Also note that several options from earlier versions of Regroup Person Profile are not listed here. In most cases, the relevant features and their options have been spun off from Regroup Person Profile into new "Regroup Person*" mods. See some details in [#Related_Mods|Related Mods]] below.
Other Mods
Many, many mods affect the Person Profile. These notes cannot cover them all (and are a year or two out of date).
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]
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 Profile and Regroup Person-Date Place is are the family members that are particularly complex or invasive.)
- Regroup Person Profile - Rearranges the data in and spacing and formatting of the Person Profile. Also (optionally) adds siblings.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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)
- Regroup Person-Hide Branches - Hides branch names from anonymous visitors and/or logged-in users who are not assigned to the branch.
- Regroup Person-Move Media - Simply moves the media files above the event map.
- 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.
- 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)
- Regroup Person-Sources - Allows some source and citation data to be hidden for brevity, and to be displayed as desired.
Compatible Mods
This is not a complete list of compatible mods that affect the Person Profile.
- This mod is compatible with Census Plus International, Citation Master, Compact Person Media, Default Photo Preview, Event Map add children mod, Family Indicators Mod, Family Preview Mod, Geocode Assist Mod, Google Maps - More Place Levels Mod, Living Color Mod, OpenStreetMap, Public Access Control, Relationship Display Mod, Relocate Person Photos, Same Person Link, Simple Titles Mod, Submit Photo/Document Form Mod, Submit Photo Tab Mod, Wiki Integration. (Note: I have tested the installation of Census Plus International and Wiki Integration, but not their functionality.)
- With version 19e of Regroup Person Profile, it is compatible with version 13.0.0.2b of Fixed Family Tab and 13.0.0.4 of Public Access Control.
Mod Conflicts
This is not a complete list of incompatible mods. Please contact me if you run into any other conflicts.
- Regroup Person Profile is not compatible with Add Person Age Row, Burial Website Media Import, Divorce Indicator, Family Edit Links Mod, Mobile Site Enhancements, No Notesring, and Optional Person Rows.
- Regroup Person Profile and Collapse Family Children can be installed together, but they do not work together. When they are both installed, the display of the profile person's children is broken.
Overlap
These mod implement features that are also implemented by Regroup Person Profile or a companion mod from the Regroup Person* family. In some cases, the two mods have installation or functional conflicts, and you must pick one or the other. In cases where the mods do work together, some Regroup Person* features can be disabled in favor of the other mod, but, in others the "compatible" features are redundant and you'll probably want to install just one of the two mods.
- Add Person Siblings Row adds the profiled person's siblings to the personal data block. Regroup Person Profile also optionally displays siblings, though in a different specific location and in a different format. Since Regroup Person Profile and Add Person Siblings Row are compatible, you can choose the format you prefer. Of course, if you do install Add Person Siblings Row, then you'll probably want to use the options for Regroup Person Profile to disable its display of siblings.
- Add Parents Children Row, like Add Person Siblings Row, adds the profiled person siblings to the Person Profile, but does no in the parents' data block. Again, Regroup Person Profile also optionally displays siblings in the parents' data block, but does so in a different format. Regroup Person Profile and Add Parents Children Row are compatible, but if you install Add Parents Children Row, then you'll probably want to disable Regroup Person Profile's display of siblings.
- ID Prefix Format: Regroup Person Profile also uses an alternate font to make the "I" in person ID's distinct from the lower-case letter "l" and the number "1".
- Person Map: Like Person Map, Regroup Person Profile allow users to hide and re-display the Event Map.
- Life Dates Mod, which uses a three-line format for relative's name/birth/death/age data that is similar to the one that Regroup Person Profile implements. The Life Dates Mod uses different style, but the changes serve the same purpose.
- Adjust Date Column Width: Regroup Person-Date Place (a companion to Regroup Person-Profile) effective eliminates the Event date column by combing the date and place into one continuous string.
- Add Person Cremated Row: Like Add Person Cremated Row, Regroup Person Profile displays TNG's non-standard "Cremated" flag as though it were a separate event.
- Family Indicators Mod is compatible with Regroup Person Profile, but not with Regroup Person-Family Indicators, which was derived from Family Indicators Mod. Regroup Person-Family Indicators implements indicators that are almost identical to those implemented by Family Indicators Mod and generates popup ancestor previews that are very similar to those displayed by Family Indicators Mod. The most significant distinction between the two family indicators mods is that Regroup Person-Family Indicators also affects the siblings that can be displayed by Regroup Person Profile.
- Remove Gender Row: Regroup Person Profile's companion Mod Regroup Person-Remove Gender also removes the Gender row from the Person Profile.
Interdependencies
- Submit Headstone Photo Mod can be installed after Regroup Person Profile. In some versions of one mod or the other, installing Submit Headstone Photo Mod creates a Bad Target error in Regroup Person Profile in Mod Manager, but the Person Profile still works. If the Bad Target error does occur, Submit Headstone Photo Mod must be uninstalled before Person Profile can be uninstalled..
- Count_Ancestors_n_Descendants can be installed after this mod, and must be uninstalled before Regroup Person Profile can be uninstalled.
- Signature Display must be installed after this mod.
Installation
This mod does not use standard cust_text.php files for language strings. Instead, it stores languages strings in the mod's subfolder, and pages modified by this mod load language strings directly from files in the mod's languages/ subfolder. Read more about this technique and its procedure for handling site-specific language string overrides.

Visualizations
1. BEFORE AND AFTER OVERVIEW Click on the image below to see larger side-by-side non-annotated before and after images. Note that the media files have been clipped out because they haven't changed. But the personal and family data is now laid out differently, the Event Map is now slightly wider, and the Sources, by default, show only the titles, not the full citation information. (Note that Some of the changes shown in the visualizations are now implemented by other mods that were extracted from earlier versions of Regroup Person Profile). In particular, Regroup Person-Date Place now combines the date, place, and description for an event into one cell in the display table.) |
2. BEFORE: The personal data section of the original version of the Personal Profile. The red comments describe some of the changes that the mod will make. |
3. AFTER: The personal AND family data in the new format
|
5. AFTER: The Source Citations block Like the Event Map, the Sources block no longer uses the colored left-hand column, and its label (now "Source Citations") is in the whitespace above the sources. The Regroup Person-Sources mod adds substantial functionality to the Source Citations block. It loads the page with just the Source name, and provides links and buttons that add and remove Source and Citation details. |
7. AFTER: The Regroup Person Profile mod configuration settings in their "Mod Settings Block" A Mod Settings Block is an outlined subform within an Admin>>Setup program that contains the options for a single mod. What is most notable about a Mod Settings Block is that a hyperlink directly to a Mod Settings Block displays only that block (i.e. only one mod's options), not all of the other options in the form or subform. Here, you see the this mod's Mod Settings Block, in admin_genconfig.php, at Admin>>Setup>>General Settings. The triangular arrow next to the subfolder heading Mod Settings Blocks is pointing to the right, meaning that the subform is not open, and that your site's other mod settings blocks are not visible. If you were to open the subform by clicking on the heading, you would see the mod settings blocks for other mods that you have installed. |

Language Strings
This mod stores its language strings (for all languages) in the languages folder within the mods subfolder, in files named {language}_custtext.php (e.g English_custtest.php, French_UTF8-custtext.php). There is typically no need for separate file for English-UTF8.
This technique for storing custom text files has several advantages, including that translators can create, test, and edit language files without having to uninstall and reinstall the mod.
Specifying site-specific overrides to language strings is not as straightforward as it is with conventional cust_text.php files. Read about the problem and the solution.
White Space
Aside: Vertical whitespace can produce a feeling of "openness" in web pages and other media. But sometimes it unnecessarily reduces the amount of data that can be seen at once, and increases the need for users to do vertical scrolling. So I've been known to push back on whitespace a bit - especially when whitespace is generated by <br> tags rather than style rules. To that end:
- This mod uses styles to decrease the whitespace between the HTML tables that define various sections of the Person Profile (basic personal data, parents, families, the event map, media items, etc.). This mod provides 1ex of whitespace in the bottom margin of each table. You can increase that whitespace with a style rule such as
.datatable {margin-bottom:1em;}
at the bottom of your genstyle.css or in your template's mytngstyle.css. - This mod removes a hard break from the end of the TNG "innermenu". Whitespace below the innermenu can be restored by a style rule such as
.pub-innermenu {margin-bottom:1em;}
at the bottom of your genstyle.css or your template's mytngstyle.css.- The "innermenu" is a horizontal menu on most TNG pages that appears immediately below the "Tab menu". It usually has white text on a dark background, and its links are almost always separated by vertical bars. In the Person Profile, the innermenu looks something like this:
- Personal Information | Media | Notes | Source Citations | Event Map | All | PDF
- This change affects not just the Person Profile, but most TNG page headings. However, the .pub-innermenu style rule shown above will restore whitespace to all affected pages.
- The "innermenu" is a horizontal menu on most TNG pages that appears immediately below the "Tab menu". It usually has white text on a dark background, and its links are almost always separated by vertical bars. In the Person Profile, the innermenu looks something like this:
Formatting Person and Family IDs
In order to distinguish the leading "I" of a person ID from a "1" or a lower-case "l", this mod displays PersonIDs and FamilyIDs with style classes that change the font of the ID's.
"Source Citations"
This mod relabels the "Sources" section of the Person Profile as "Source Citations". The distinction is not important, especially to end users, but it does have meaning, and I think that translators - and maybe some others - might benefit from an explanation..
At least in English, the terms "Sources", "Citations", or "Source Citations" are completely ambiguous, and could each reasonably serve as a heading. But the items listed in this section of the report do not accurately represent what TNG calls "Sources" or "Citations"
- They are not TNG "Sources" in that they contain citation details. They also are not unique. Two entries in the list can have different citation details from the same source.
- So really, they are more like citations, and "Citations" would be a perfectly reasonable heading.
- But they are not really TNG "Citations" in that TNG citation records can point to only one event. They can be thought of as (for lack of a better term) "generic citations" or "unique citations". After all, in many genealogy applications, citations can link to many events (even to events in multiple person and family records). In those applications, the heading "Citations" would be completely consistent with the way that the items in the list are stored in the database.
In any case, it turned out to be so trivial to change the heading that I just did it.
Event Labels as Nouns or Verbs
In "most?" genealogy applications, most event labels are nouns, e.g. BIRT->Birth, CHR=Christening, DEAT->Death, BURI->Burial, MARR=>Marriage, DIV=>Divorce, OCCU->Occupation, RESI->Residence, IMMI->Immigration, GRAD->Graduation, EDUC->Education,RELI->Religion.
In TNG Person Profile, however,
- The labels for "custom" events (those stored in the Events table) are all defined in the Eventtypes tables, which is edited at Admin>>Eventtypes. When you add a new Eventtype, you can specify an arbitrary tag and label (a "description"), or select from about 45 hard-coded tags, which are each paired with a label. Most of those labels, like the ones listed above, are in noun form. Once entered into the Eventtypes table, an Eventtype's label can be changed.
- The labels for "Built-in" events (those stored in the People, Families, and Children tables rather than in the Events table) have hard-coded labels, which are
- Displayed in the People and Families edit page as nouns, e.g. BIRT->Birth, CHR=Christening, DEAT->Death, BURI->Burial, MARR=>Marriage, DIV=>Divorce, and
- Displayed in the Person Profile, the Places detail page, and the Register report in verb forms, e.g. BIRT->Born, CHR=Christened, DEAT->Died, BURI->Buried, MARR=>Married, DIV=>Divorced.
- The verb forms are handy for generating sentences in the Register Report (e.g. "Moses Wheeler was born on 5 Jan 1598 in Bow, Middlesex, England; died on 15 Jan 1698 in Stratford, Fairfield County, Connecticut, USA; was buried in Old Congregational Burying Ground, Stratford, Fairfield County, Connecticut, USA.") but are distinctly inconsistent with the other events and with the typical noun forms.
