Test for presence of a fact within other fact
When I have both a death and burial fact I would like to check in the sentence definition of the burial fact whether the burial fact exists. This to allow me to make the burial sentence dependent on this test.
Any ideas?

Re: Reference a source meta field in a fact definition
It's a source field and that's what I did wrong, {%FACT.SOUR[1]>~TX-NUMMER%} work like a charm.
Thanks!

Re: Reference a source meta field in a fact definition
Sorry Mike, no reasoning (or maybe old age ).
{%FACT.SOUR[1]>.~EN-TYPE%} is obviously wrong. But, how about {%FACT.SOUR[1].~TX-NUMMER%}? That should provide NUMMER shouldn't it?

Re: Reference a source meta field in a fact definition
I have a single source with the meta fields NUMMER (text) and TYPE (enumerated). My goal is to reference both fields in a fact sentence definition. Following your advice I tested {%FACT.SOUR[1].~TX-NUMMER%} and {%FACT.SOUR[1]>.~EN-TYPE%} . The first one shows nothing (although the "nummer"...

Re: Map Life Facts plugin with Bing Maps support
Working perfect!
Indeed Google geocoder is for some places somewhat better than Bing. I have both API's so I use Google.
Thanks for a great job!

Re: Map Life Facts plugin with Bing Maps support

When I then Geocode Plot This Location again, the coordinates stay the same and the map shows the correct location. I've tried all combinations o...

Re: Map Life Facts plugin with Bing Maps support
Mike, For me the plugin (your latest version) is working fine. I have it set to Plot Geocoder: Google Maps and the plugin and Web Page Maps to Bing. One thing: when I press Geocode Plot This Location it finds the location (coordinates), but doesn't show the map. When I press it again (for the same l...

I see. If (or when ) you have a testable substitute (I'm not a great fan of Leaflet Maps), I'd be happy to be an alfa or beta tester!

Re: Find Duplicate Individuals with no family name
Hi Mike,
I've run a number of tests with version 3.8.1 and compared the results with 3.8. The result is indeed disappointing, it increases the score somewhat for the "no last namers" but that's it.
So I'll keep using 3.8. Thanks for the time and effort!

Re: Find Duplicate Individuals with no family name
Alle names in small print only are individuals without a last name. My "problem" isn't a problem as the plugin is very helpful. It's just that in dealing with older names patronymic are important and since there is no separate field for it in FH I store them as the last part of the first n...

Re: Find Duplicate Individuals with no family name
In essence my point is that a patronymic is like a temporary (for 1 generation) last name. If the plugin could somehow attach a score to that then, I guess, the resulting output would be extra valuable.
I've attached a screenshot of the output with the plugin setting to default.

Find Duplicate Individuals with no family name
Hi Mike, Your plugin Find Duplicate Individuals is one of my favorites but since I'm getting further back in time most of people's names are without a family name. A patronymic is then, at least here in Holland, used to identify people. I store the patronymic as the last part of the first name (as i...

Re: Setting a date field stopped working
Yes, and the odd thing is that it must have been introduced during one of the last few updates. I haven't been using FH for some months and my plugins always worked ok. Just recently started entering data again and noticed the odd behaviour. Anyhow, CP is aware of the problem now. Thanks for your he...

The problem is that when you restart FH the preference is reset and then SetValueAsText reverts to it's poor parsing. I'll report it to CP.

Re: Setting a date field stopped working
The problem is solved. In preferences the preferred short date format was set to "dd/mm/yyyy". Setting it to "dd-mm-yyyy" solved the problem. Odd however that the parsing of "dd-mm-yyyy" is dependent on changing the delimiter from "/" to "-". I would...

Re: Setting a date field stopped working
Adding to my previous post: suppose the date is 24-12-1867, the date set by my statements is frm 0024. It's like the part "-12-1867" is kind of ignored?

Re: Setting a date field stopped working
Changed to
if f.type == 'Date' then
local dt = fhNewDate()
if dt:SetValueAsText(f.value, true) then
fhSetValueAsDate(pField,dt)
end
But still no date. I have no idea why.
if f.type == 'Date' then
local dt = fhNewDate()
if dt:SetValueAsText(f.value, true) then
fhSetValueAsDate(pField,dt)

I have these statements in some plugins to set a date: if f.type == 'Date' then local dt = fhNewDate() if dt:SetValueAsText(pField, f.value) then fhSetValueAsDate(pField,dt) end pField is a valid pointer to the field, f.value is text field containing a valid date e.g. "02-08-1865" This alw...
