The latest version of this mod uses the guidelines for TNG v12+ cust_text.php files. If you are using TNGv12+, and any cust_text.php file in this mod is marked with a Bad Target error, you need to update your cust_text.php files before you can install this mod. [Show instructions] If you upgraded to TNGv12+, and did not update your cust_text.php files as instructed in the upgrade readme script, then you must use the TNG Mod Manager to update them. To do so: Go to Mod Manager, and select its "Recommended Updates" tab. (If the "Recommended Updates" tab is not visible, then go to the Mod Manager Options tab, select "Display Settings", and turn on the "Recommended Updates" tab.) Click the "Update" button in the "Recommended Updates" tab. Installed mods do not interfere with the update, and if you already have (or think you may have) run this update, it will not hurt for you to run it again. [See details in the TNGv12 Change Impacts Article][Hide the instructions]

Purpose of the mod

To show each generation of the descendants of a person in a table. The generation to be viewed is selected by clicking on a radio button on the page

Important

The first version of the mod was erroneously given the version number 11.0.0.0

The second version corrected this by having the version number 10.1.3.2

The most up-to-date version for TNG version 10.1.3 and 11 is 10.1.3.4

The most up-to-date version for TNG version 12 is 12.0.0.0

The most up-to-date version for TNG version 13 is 13.0.0.2

Developer

This mod was developed by Jim Graham

During the installation of this mod a file called descendtables.php is added to the root of your TNG web site. This file was adapted from another file written by Robin Richmond and used in various other mods. I am grateful to Robin for the work involved in producing that first file.

I am also grateful to Ken Roy and Graham Chamberlain for testing the mod.

Thanks also to Graham Chamberlain for the Dutch, German, French and Spanish translations.
