Upgrading Mods to TNG v13
Mods eliminated by TNG V13
You should use the Mod Manager to uninstall all your mods prior to the upgrade. If you are not going to uninstall all TNG mods prior to the upgrade, you may end up having to replace some TNG modules that contained mods that were not replaced in the upgrade since the Mod Manager changed the way it handled source that contains terminating blanks or tabs.
The following mods are now incorporated or partially incorporated into TNG v13
- 16. Custom Event Types: The eventtype ID has been added to the Admin/Custom Event Types page.
- https://tng.lythgoes.net/wiki/index.php?title=Add_Event_Type_ID
- Do not clean up the mod, but rather Delete it without uninstalling or cleaning it up.
- 80. Places: An option has been added for each individual place to permanently ignore that place when doing bulk geocoding.
- The mod's definition of a "Do not Geocode" Placelevel (value=-1) has been incorporated into TNG13.
- The changes that the mod makes to the geocoding workflow are still viable, so the mod will be reworked for TNG13.
- 79. Places: Fields for last modified date and user have been added to the places table.
- The new change date field in the Places table essentially eliminates the need for the mod's creation date field.
- TNG13 can also sort by last modified date. The date sort replaces the mod's ability to search for Places created since a specific date.
- and Suppress csvReport Mod
- 81. Settings: An option now exists to turn off CSV report downloads.
- General Settings > Privacy section
- Allow CSV downloads for reports: (defaults to Yes)
- Set to No if you do not want to all users to download reports
- 15. Charts: Family Chart link has been added to end of each family description on the Register and Ahnentafel charts
- eliminates part of the mod that added Family Chart Links to the Register and Ahnentagel report
- Do not clean up the mod. It will need to be reworked to just remove the lines that add the Family Chart Links to Register and Ahnentafel reports.
- Do not clean up the mod is obsolete and replaced with
- 56. Media: Media in text file format will now be embedded within the TNG page like images (instead of downloading the images or opening them in a separate app).
- Do not clean up the mod is likely obsolete with
- 46. Media: Media can now be made "private" (only seen by users with rights to see private data).
- 13. Charts: Photos have been added to the vertical ancestry chart. I recommend changing the box and font sizes in the chart settings (160, 80, 10).
TNG Admin screen impact
4. Admin: The Admin menu will no longer use an HTML "frameset". The layout will be the same, but it will use fixed DIVs instead.
- impacted the Mod Manager Mod List display
- - fixed before TNG v13 beta 1
- impacts all mods that add entries to the Admin screen
- Caution: If you create a syntax error as part of your admin.php mod update, you will get a White Screen of Death
- You should know where your PHP errors get written to and may want to install the updated
- Prolog mod
- or the Show PHP Error Log mod
- before installing your updated mod that changes the admin.php screen
- You should know where your PHP errors get written to and may want to install the updated
- you must now update your mod to use admin.php and admin_leftmenu.php to add new admin buttons and links in the left sidebar
- instead of admin_main.php and admin_leftbanner.php
- you must now update your mod to use adminlib.php to add links to the top div
- instead of admin_rightbanner.php
- Note that you also need to change your previously used echo statements to $output .= when updating
- instead of admin_rightbanner.php
- you must now update your mod to use admin.php and admin_leftmenu.php to add new admin buttons and links in the left sidebar
- scripts that run in the TNG Admin main section must now change the body from
echo " </head> <body background=\"img/background.gif\">
- to use
echo " </head>"; echo tng_adminlayout(); echo "
- Note that if your script also overrode the TNG Admin back.gif like the following Census Plus International mod scripts
echo '<body style="background-image: none; background-color: white">';
- you will need to change it to pass the style override by passing it as an argument such as
$args = " style =\"background-image: none; background-color: white\" "; echo tng_adminlayout($args); // TNG 13 layout
- You must now update the footer part of your admin script to change the following
echo " </body> </html>"; exit;
- to use
echo tng_adminfooter();
