Purpose of Mod
The mod is provided in three forms:
- A basic mod (v9.0.0.1a) adds a 'Help' button to the 'Search People' and 'Search Families' pages.
- A separate version (v9.0.0.2a)of the mod also adds a Help button or text link to each [TNG v9] Template home page.
- A version (v9.0.0.3a) that provides a separate cfg file for each [TNG v9] Template home page.
Clicking on the button or text link displays a pop-up Help window with information relevant to search functionality.
Mod Developer
The Mod was developed by Graham Chamberlain with help from William (Rick) Bisbee and Bryan Larson.
Mod Manager config file provided by Graham Chamberlain.
Automated Installation
- Download the appropriate file for your TNG version from the download links in the mod summary area in the upper right.
- Extract the downloaded zip file to your 'mods folder.
- Follow the normal automated installation for Mod Manager, as shown in the example Mod Manager - Installing Config Files to install the appropriate source_title_display.cfg file.
The Help file 'search.help.php' is installed by default to the languages/English folder.
Manual Installation
The Help file 'search.help.php' is provided only in English and will be copied to the languages/English folder. If you want to create a Help file in another language by modifying the default version, you will need to install the new file in the appropriate language folder where it will henceforth be automatically recognised when you are using its associated language.
Pre-install Edits
If you would like to monitor use of the Help file, add the following code to search.help.php immediately before the php closing tag, at the top of the file.
$logfile = "search_help.log"; $referer = empty( $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] ) ? "" : " on {$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']} "; $newline = "Search Help accessed " . date("d M y H:i:s") . "$referer from {$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']} "; file_put_contents( "search_help.log", $newline, FILE_APPEND | LOCK_EX );
NOTE that the closing quote and semi-colon for $newline should be on a separate line to ensure that the details for each access of the Help file are stored on a separate line on the log file.
The log file (search_help.log) will be created and maintained in the same folder as the Help file.
