webtrees

Miscellaneous files or use with webtrees that do not fit in the other categories here.

This is a plain html file with a bit of JavaScript which allows webtrees admins to iterate through their collection of objects: individuals, families, sources, repositories, media and shared notes. So it starts with showing object number one (or any number you'd like) and there are "next" and "prev" buttons to navigate through them. For each of these object types (and all of your gedcoms) it will remember where you were using a browser cookie.

I built this to review the data I entered in the first few weeks I started using webtrees, and my "standards" have shifted a bit since. But there could be other uses for it also. You don't need to download or install it, you can try it out by clicking on this link.

The page takes a minimum of screen real estate: just one or a couple of lines at the top. Your own webtrees site fills the rest of your browser window.

The first line is for configuration. By default it takes the webtrees demo site. Paste any url of your own webtrees site in there and you're ready to go. Optionally you can specify a different gedcom. The "reset" button deletes the whole browser cookie. The "hide/show config" button at the right will hide or show this line.

The second line is to control the object type and number. The object type "index page" is used to verify your webtrees site and gedcom is accessible.

The last line contains the full url of the page shown. Can be used for debugging purposes. By default this is not shown, it's controlled by button "hide/show url" at the top right.

Enjoy!!

For the places level, webtrees presents you with an interactive Google map for looking up and saving the coordinates of a place. But at the event level, you can enter more precise coordinates for the exact location of the event. However, you have to enter those coordinates as numbers, with no map presented. Here is some help for looking up the coordinates in a separate browser window.

For my flight simulator I modified the flight information kneeboard a bit to include a Google maps display including coordinates handling. So now I left out the flight simulator stuff to have a coordinate lookup utility for my webtrees installation.

It's nothing too fancy: a Google map display which you can navigate as usual, with as extra coordinate entry and display

Installation and usage: the zip file contains a single html file. Unpack and open in your browser.

I have over 200 cousins in my family. To give them all member access to my gedcom, I wrote this little program to create a batch of users. Programming is more fun that completing the same form 200 times.

I had no previous PHP programming skills, so I kept it simple. The list of users to add resides in the program itself, in a form that any text editor can handle. Add comma's and quotes as in the example. You just had to make a list of users and passwords (I generated both with a decent text editor, and starting from an address list I have), associate each user with his/her individual ID in the gedcom, and review any other options to be changed in the program. The places to do so are marked with a //TODO comment in the program. If I can do it, you can too.

And then opload the modified program, run it (first run is without modifications), and if no errors are signalled, hit the submit button.

In webtrees 1.2.2 and later there have been some changes to the use of "Fact icons" (see also http://wiki.webtrees.net/Fact_icons )

• The type of icons used is changed from .gif to .png. This provides better quality displays.
• The set provided as standard in the xenea theme has been replaced with a new improved set.
• The code to display them has been simplified, removing the complex options for different male/female, century, decade, and sub-type icons.

For anyone with a strong preference for the old style xenea icons, this file is a replacement set, of the same imaghes but converted to the .png type.

NOTE: I am not recommending these, as the new ones ARE better, but if you particularly want to retain the old look, you will need to use these replacements.

This file makes it easier to integrate the Webtrees 1.1 robots-example.txt into your own main robots.txt file without having to manually update the paths.

Just to be clear - this file is not required.  It just makes things a little easier.

If your webserver uses apache (almost all of them do), then this file can be used to set/reset various PHP configuration settings. The file nee...

This file provides a list of people in your GEDCOM (family tree) that have entries (probably) missing from one or more of the UK census returns.

It assumes they "should" be recorded in each census taken during their lifetime, then checks if they have been (in your data), and that they havn't left the country instead.
