Notes


Purpose of the Mod

This Mod adds a line near the top of getperson.php that indicates the relationship of the person on the page to a single, predefined individual - usually the TNG Site Owner - in the database. If there is no relationship that is also listed.

It uses JQuery to load the line after getperson.php has been loaded, so that the sometimes intensive calculations behind the relationship do not slow down the loading of getperson.php.

It does not load this line if the page is being viewed by a bot, so not letting the server get bogged down by a fast moving web bot.

It allows for configuration of:

  • the single individual in the TNG Database to calculate relationships from
  • a list of bots for which the line is not shown.
  • how many relationships to calculate if the person and the Site Owner are related in more than one way. This is a separate setting from what is in TNG Admin for Relationships.

Developer

This Mod was developed by Roger Moffat. The relationships are calculated using a stripped down version of relationship.php - part of TNG by Darrin Lythgoe.

Custom Text Additions

Note: The config file only includes the English language changes, so if you support multiple languages you can either:

  1. modify the config file to add the custom text for those other languages or
  2. manually add the following custom text to each of your other languages with appropriate translations. e.g. if your site uses German UTF-8 you'd add the translations to your languages/German-UTF8/cust_text.php file


// For Relationship to SiteOwner line on getperson.php
$text['siteowner'] = $dbowner . " (the owner of this site)";
$text['clicktoviewrelationship'] = "Click to View Relationship";
$text['withingenerations'] = " is not related to " . $text['siteowner'] . " within xxx generations";
