Robin Richmond TNGv13 Mods
Revision as of 16:11, 6 October 2020 by Robinrichm (talk | contribs)
As you can see, almost all of my mods are being upgraded for TNGv13
- About 15-20 of the mods required updates because of Mod Manager syntax changes or small code changes introduced by TNG13.
- Another 10 or so require more substantial modification.
- Some of my idiosyncratic technical features were implemented in most of these mods. Those technical updates included:
- Mods that have mod options were tweaked to use the new Mod Settings Blocks mod, which is now a prerequisite for all of my mods that have options.
- Mods that define Inner Mod Menus were tweaked to work with the TNG13 version of the Inner Mod Menus mod.
- Inner Mod Menus were added to several more mods (beyond what was implemented in TNGv12). And some mods (such as Headstones Report and Cemetery Burials Table) now create Inner Menus in pages (such as headstones.php and showmap.php) that do not otherwise have an Inner Menu at all. But, as with all Inner Mod Menus, those built-from-scratch Inner Menus are visible only to TNG administrators.
- Most of my mods were updated to put the language strings in the mod subfolder rather than in conventional cust_text.php files.

- Modifies the Admin>>Branches search page to display counts of People and Families in the branch index, as well as count of People and Families records that have the branch.
- Admin Branches Queue
- Download: v13.0.0.5 Upgraded
- Implements a queuing mechanism that can perform branch label operations for multiple branches in a batch that processes each branch in sequence. New database fields are used to record the time and action of latest 'add labels', 'clear labels', 'delete records', or 'edit' operation performed on each branch, whether the action is launched through a queue or 'manually' in admin_editoptions.php.
- New Admin Branches Show Users - No Wiki article
- Download: v13.0.0.1 Available

- Download: v13.0.0.9d Upgraded
- Adds numerous controls to the Admin Cemeteries Search page to filter the search and include optional data in the results.
- Admin Cemetery Edit
- Download: v13.0.0.9d Upgraded
- Makes workflow and presentation changes to the Cemetery Edit form and the Cemeteries 'Add New' tab.
- Admin Delete Message - Wiki article not updated
- Download: v13.0.0.3 Upgraded
- Adds a list of deleted records to the cryptic confirmation message generated by admin_deleteselected.php, which is used by the administrative Search/Select/Delete program for several database tables.
- Admin Languages
- Download: v13.0.0.6 Upgraded
- Simplifies the entry of languages by combining the Search, Edit, and Add New forms into one screen, and provides more meaningful prompts for languages and character sets.

- Download: v13.0.0.3 Available
- Tweaks the Media Edit form to add help text and error messages and hide the map unless there are geocoordinate.
- Admin Media Predefined Search - Wiki article not updated
- Download: v13.0.0.13 Upgraded
- Adds a dropdown box to the Admin Media Search form that populates the search box with strings intended to do multi-valued searches for media objects of a particular media type. It is intended to facilitate reassigning new media items to a different category after a Gedcom upload.
- Admin Media Search
- Download: v13.0.0.14a Upgraded
- Adds numerous features to Admin>>Media>>Search, including new run-time search and display option. Perhaps most significantly, it adds hyperlinks to all objects shown in the 'Links To' (i.e. medialinks) column and shows tag details for Citation Medialinks.
- Changes for TNGv13
- Removed some confusing features, specifically, error messages in the Thumbnails column and Eventtype tags in the LinkedTo column.
- Needed significant upgrades because TNGv13 implemented incompatible sorting and a new 'Last Modified' field, and removed the Geocodes column. This mod suppresses the new native sorting, and uses its own search-form-based sorting controls, and displays the 'Last Modified' and 'Geocodes' columns if they are requested through search form options.
- Admin Media Thumbnails - Wiki article not updated
- v13.0.0.5a is not ready yet; I just haven't gotten to this mod yet.
- Allows users to control which mediatypes and tree to process, and can create thumbnails for larger image files.
- Admin Places Date - Wiki article not updated
- Download: v12.0.0.5 - Will not be available in TNGv13
- Adds a Creation Date to the Places table, and search features that use it in Admin>>Places>>Search.
- Will probably not be upgraded to TNG13 because the new sortable "Modification Date" field in Admin>>Places>>Search virtually replaces the Admin Places Date functionality.
- Admin Places Geocode - Wiki article not updated
- No upgrade is available yet
- Establishes the number of desired decimal digits in Geocodes and rounds all Geocodes calculated from maps. Provides a filter to limit the Geocoding to selected Mediatypes and to ignore certain problematic placename components.

- Admin Reports Floating Editor - Wiki article not updated
- Download: v13.0.0.6 Upgraded
- Allows the relatively large Display, Criteria, and Sort fields selection widgets to float side-by-side on wide screens. Also suppresses the Display, Criteria, and Sort widgets when you edit direct SQL reports, and hides the direct SQL field when you edit ordinary report-builder reports.
- Admin Users-More - Wiki article not updated

- This mod adds each person's birth and death dates and places to the All Burials table for a cemetery, as displayed by showmap.php, and removes the redundant Burial Place and PersonID columns.
- New Chart Types Help - This link is to a beta mod description
- Download: v13.0.0.0b Available
- This very simple mod affects all of the native chart programs (and some charts installed by mods). It adds the label "Chart Types" in front of the chart types in the TNG "Inner Menu" (just below the tab menu). If you click on the little blue information button next to the Chart Types label, a description of each of the chart types pops up.
- Count Descendants
- Download: v13.0.0.12b Upgraded

- Download: v13.0.0.2b Upgraded & Updated
