It looks white but is should be transparent! That is showing the colour of the background.

I was thinking I was getting to grips with the problem I created a custom diagram type called 'Usual' and saved from Save as > Custom Diagram Type I go to view that diagram type again. Click on Charts > Custom Diagrams > Usual I am then presented with a query box asking for Root Person with the head...

I have downloaded these icons from the FHUG download page. Put them in the icon folder as per instructions. But find the icons have a white background. What have I done wrong or omitted to do?
With the .bmp icons the top left pixel set the colour to invisible but does the same apply to the emf icons.

I am still trying to get my head around these diagrams. I think I am missing something obvious. Lorna says "the Ancs, Decs, Both and Rels buttons are shortcuts to the four basic diagram types: Ancestors, Descendants, Ancestors & Descendants and All Relatives" are these shortcuts fixed or do they cha...

Thanks Mike As you say I installed the bmp icons on V6. The Custom\Ancestors and Diagrams.fhdx file was from then and had been abandoned after saving the diagram with a different name. The problem with the plug-in is now solved. The other problem with saving and restoring custom diagrams is now anot...

I am attempting to use the backup and restore family historian plugin to transfer my work between two computers. When using the plugin to create a backup, I receive an error message indicating that some of the icons are missing. This is accompanied with a text document that states the missing files ...

I tried contacting Calico Pie and got the reply - The logic has been tightened to avoid problems when rich text is encountered. Not very satisfactory. I could not get them to see the problem. In the end I gave up. A solution I have come up with is [[+ hyperlinks.]] See our pages on Overseers and Tod...

Thank you. It seems to explain what’s happening. It looks like it’s back to the drawing board.
I’ll contact Calico Pie and look into using active web-links.
Can the active web-links be displayed in query reports?

On Version 6 I had a custom query using the GetLabelledText function and it was working, But with Version 7 some of the cells are blank. Has there been any changes to the function to cause this? Column entry has in the “Expression” Column =GetLabelledText(%INDI.NOTE2[last]%,"<a href=") The Note of o...

Thank you for your replies. I am disappointed that the second place in immigration/emigration facts has not been fully implemented and may be killed off. I am in the camp that think there are other events that require a second place and the need for these second places to be mapped. Is the wish list...

I am trying to write a query that lists all the emigrated / immigrated attributes listing both places in these attributes. To get the first place I can use %FACT.PLAC% but how do I get the other place.

I found the RJT Date Calculator useful and run successfully under OS X Maverick/Parallels 10/Windows 7 but since upgrading to OS X El Capitan/Parallels 11/Windows 10 it does not work. I cannot put slashes (/) into the date field, even selecting the date from the calender omits the slashes. I then ge...

Mike I must have been almost asleep when I made the last post. I should be html <a href=...> tag!! I have made the boxes bigger by making one box bigger and making all the boxes the same size so now the hyperlinks fit on one page. I had a look at your site and I like what you have done. It gives me ...

Thanks Mike By changing to Gedcom or other download I created the website with out errors. When I was first getting the errors the only error I was getting said nothing about “Picture not found”. I looked at the link to the Knowledge Base where there was Family Tree Tips ~ Diagram Hyperlinks PDF. Wh...

So one change is that you have updated from FH V4 via V5 to V6 since last creating website. - Yes Do the two PDF Diagram files open in Adobe Acrobat Reader? - Yes Try recreating those Diagrams and saving as PDF again. I recreated the Diagrams and then tried to change the Table of Contents Entry for ...

Tried rebuilding the website without the pages with pdf files on and it worked without an error message.

Exactly what commands are you using? Publish>Create a Website clicking next at each step keeping selection as for previous site At what stage does the error arise? Progress box comes up and goes through Creating page for individual … Creating table of contents item … Completing web site creation … T...

When building a website I get the error message "An error occurred during webpage creation." with no other information. How can I get more information on what is causing this error. A new website was generated.

Thanks Mike
Search and Replace Plugin worked a treat. I have used the plug in before but never in LUA Pattern Mode. I will have to study the reference you gave as it appears to be very useful.

Thanks Mike,
Rechecking I find that ,,,USA does match ,,,USA.
Can I use the plug in Rearrange Address and Place Parts to put the spaces in?
I will report it to Calico Pie.

Using the filter on the place record page any place starting with commas then the place name are ignored. For example searching for USA brings up all places with USA in them except ,,,USA which I use when I don't know a more precise location. Entering ,,,USA in the search box does not display the en...

Building a website at Step 6 I inserted 'To get in touch please click <A href="..\contact.html">here.</A>' as a hyperlink to a contact page but the following html was generated '<p>To get in touch please click <A href="..\contact.html">here.</A></p>'. Why has the line been changed and how can I stop...

Thank you Jane. That is exactly what I was looking for.

Is it possible to include details such as birth dates in a fact query.
I can select and display individuals attached to a fact but I can not include individual data in the report.
Does anyone know how to do this?

Can anyone tell me why I am getting Link/Note entries added to multimedia objects. The number of links given by the =LinksTo() function gives a number smaller than the number of Link/Note entries in the multimedia record. The function gives the number I expect but the number of Link/Note entries can...
