Notes

Purpose of the Mod

To rearrange the data in the person profile in a way that I find more readable, with less scrolling. Here's a partial list:

1. Just the most basic Person information is listed first, then parents, marriages, and "Other Personal Data".
2. Subheadings are added above parents, marriages, other personal data, the event map, and source citations.
3. I've moved the person's ID number to the heading, right below the person's name, next to the thumbnail photo, and defined a new style class that distinguishes the letter I from a lower-case l or a 1.
4. The Event Map is enlarged a bit, as I've eliminated the mostly-blank left-hand column. It can also be hidden and re-displayed.
5. The Source box is also enlarged with the elimination of the mostly-blank left-hand column. New bolding of the Source titles improve readability a bit. Functionality that initially abbreviates the source citations and allows the user to expand them has been moved to Regroup Person-Sources with mod version 15.
6. In the print-friendly page format, I ignore the cell height for the Sources, figuring that, when you print the page, you want to see all of the sources.
7. The Cause of Death (_DCAUSE), Alias (ALIA) and Race events, plus secondary birth, death, burial, name, and name component events (and facts) are displayed in the main person information block instead of under "Other Personal Events".

Mod Parameters

This has two parameters that affect getperson.php:

1. A value that controls whitespace within the HTML data tables by adjusting HTML cellpadding attribute. The TNG default is cellpadding=4. This mod's default is cellpadding=2, but the padding of 4px can be restored (or increased) with this parameter.
2. A flag that determines whether to display person ID's for each parent, spouse, and child.

Mods Derived From This One

Starting with mod version 12, I have created several other mods by pulling changes out of Regroup Person Profile. The new mods are:

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 - Starts the display of source citations with just the Source ID, Title, and Author, and provides buttons so the user can add Source details and/or Citation details.

(Also, Regroup Person-Other IDs, which Added Person ID's (styled with serifs on the "I") to parents, spouses, and children was re-folded into Regroup Person ID with version 14.)

As a result, several mods that used to conflict with Regroup Person Profile now only conflict with one of these "child" mods. You can thus get most of the functionality of the "Regroup Person" family by installing only the "Regroup Person" mods that don't conflict with other mods you already have in use.

Compatibility With Other Mods

Dependencies

• This mod is dependent on Show Mod Names. Either mod may be installed first.
• Regroup Person-Sources and Regroup Family Profile depend on this mod.

Compatible Mods

This is not a complete list of compatible mods that affect the person profile.

• This mod is compatible with Census Plus International, Event Map add children mod, [[Family Indicators Mod], Family Preview Mod, Geocode Assist Mod, Google Maps - More Place Levels Mod, Living Color Mod, Relationship Display Mod, Same Person Link, Simple Titles Mod, Submit Photo/Document Form Mod, Submit Photo Tab Mod, and Wiki Integration. (Note: I have tested the installation of Census Plus International and Wiki Integration, but not their functionality.)
• This mod is compatible with version 9.0.0.2 of Sources and Citations Mod.
• Starting with version 12, this mod and the "Regroup Person" family of mods are now compatible with Compact Person Media.
• Starting with version 12, this mod is compatible with Relocate Person Photos, although Regroup Person-Move Media is not.
• Starting with version 14, this mod is compatible with Default Photo Preview.
• Starting with version 14f, this mod is compatible with Public Access Control
• Starting with version 15, this mod is compatible with Citation Master

Incompatible Mods

This may not be a complete list of incompatible mods. Please contact me if you run into any other conflicts.

• This mod (Regroup Person Profile) is not compatible with Add Person Age Row, Compact Person Media, Divorce Indicator, Family Chart Mod, Family Edit Links Mod, Mobile Site Enhancements, No Notesring, Optional Person Rows, and Person Map.
• This mod is not compatible with ID Prefix Format, but, it incorporates the functionality of ID Prefix Format by using an alternate font to make the "I" in person ID's distinct from "l" and "1".
• This mod is also not compatible with Person Map, but incorporates some of the functionality of Person Map in that it can hide and re-display the Event Map.
• This mod conflicts with Adjust Date Column Width, but when the companion mod Regroup Person-Date Place is installed, Adjust Date Column Width becomes pointless, since Regroup Person-Date Place combines the date and location columns.
• This mod conflicts with Add Person Cremated Row, but like Add Person Cremated Row, it creates a Cremation pseudo-event.
• Submit Headstone Photo Mod can be installed 'after this mod. In some versions (but not in TNGv11), it creates a Bad Target error in Regroup Person Profile in Mod Manager, but the Person Profile still works. The Bad Target error can be removed by removing (uninstalling) Submit Headstone Photo Mod.

Requirements

• A working TNG installation.
• An installed current version of the Mod Manager.
• You should backup files listed in the panel on the right.
• If you also want to use Sources and Citations Mod, it must be installed first.

Controlling White Space with Classes

I have removed many hard breaks from the PHP code, and made sure that there are CSS classes in css/genstyle.css that you can use to control the vertical whitespace between page elements. Specifically,

1. All of the HTML tables that display person profile data (basic personal data, parents, families, the event map, media items, etc.) are now associated with the class "datatable", which has a new style rule that defines margin-bottom:1ex; to provide some whitespace between the tables. You can add more whitespace by adding a style rule such as .datatable {margin-bottom:1em;} at the bottom of your somewhere below the style I have added.
2. A hard break has been removed from the bottom of the standard TNG page-specific "innermenu" - the horizontal menu bar just under the tab bars. On the personal profile, it has links labeled Personal Information, Media, Sources, etc. This change actually affects not just the Person Profile, but most TNG page headings. To restore that whitespace in all affected pages, you can apply a bottom margin to the TNG standard .pub-innermenu class, with a style rule such as .pub-innermenu { margin-bottom:1em; } at the bottom of your /css/genstyle.css file.
3. (v14) A hard break has been removed from the heading, below the person's thumbnail photo and the tab menu. I've put 4px of whitespace back in, but you can add to that with a style rule such as .headingthumb {padding-right:5px; padding-bottom:4px;}

(Note: If you want to adjust whitespace by modifying a style rule defined by TNG or by a mod, it is probably best not to edit the existing rule, because modifying that rule will prohibit the mod from uninstalling cleanly. Instead, you should add a new style rule such as at the bottom of the css/genstyle.css mod.

Formatting Person and Family IDs

In order to distinguish the leading "I" of a person ID from a "1" or a lower-case "l", person and family ID's in the person profile now are displayed with style classes .rp-idvalue and rp-idletter, which are now defined in /css/genstyle.css, and can be re-defined by TNG site administrators. The class .rp-idvalue applies to the entire ID, and the style rp-idletter applies only to the first letter of the ID. As installed, both classes simply use the font "Verdana", which has serifs on the letter "I".

Visualizations

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.)

BEFORE: The personal data section of the original version of the Personal Profile. The red comments indicate how the layout has been changed by the mod. (Again, the changes indicated by the circles in this screenshot are now implemented by a separate mod, Regroup Person-Date Place.)

AFTER: The personal AND family data in the new format. Note that the circled generic thumbnail is a bit smaller, and the overall effect of the changes is to take up less space. Some people would consider this presentation to be "crowded", whereas I consider the default TNG presentation to be "overly sparse". :-) Actually, since I made this screenshot, I have tweaked some style classes so that things are a little less crowded. (And, once more, this screenshot shows event data merged into a single cell, which is now done by a separate mod, Regroup Person-Date Place. It also does not show the Person ID's that are (optionally) placed after the names of parents, spouses, and children.)

AFTER: The new Event Map, which is wider than before because I have eliminated the colored left-hand column, and put the Event Map label in the whitespace above the map. I have also modified the layout of the first pin legend so it wastes less space, and so that it wraps more cleanly when the page is narrow enough to require wrapping. Also note the button outlined in red at the top right, which changes to "Show Event Map" when the Event Map is hidden.

AFTER: The new Sources block, which, like the Event Map, no longer uses the colored left-hand column, and has its label in the whitespace above the sources. To make this mod compatible with Citation Master, this mod no longer abbreviates the source citations and allows the user to click a button to add details. That functionality is now implemented through Regroup Person-Sources

Custom Text

The following strings are defined in the English and English-UTF8 versions of cust_test.php. Note that I had to create strings that display "Husband" and "Wife", since the existing definitions of $text['husband'] and $text['wife'] display "Father" and "Mother".

$text['otherevents'] = "Other Personal Events";
$text['hidemap'] = "Hide Event Map";
$text['showmap'] = "Show Event Map";
$text['hidecite'] = "Hide Citation Details";
$text['showcite'] = "Show Citation Details";
$text['spousehusband'] = "Husband";
$text['spousewife'] = "Wife";
