Mike Thanks for clarifying this. As you say, mine is based on templated sources and thus I suspect will be quite different to yours. Given that, I accept it is appropriate to have both versions available; assuming that the difference is obvious to users. I will leave my version in the plugin store. ...

I have been persuaded to formally publish the 'Add GRO Source' plugin in the Plugin Store for FH V7, and after approval, it will exist as Add GRO Index Source Citation Version 1.0 Date 26 May 2023. Then all attachments of the 'Add GRO Source' plugin will be deleted. Just to avoid confusion, I poste...

I put the plugin out there initially for people to exploit and develop there own plugins.

Of course will support where I can, so let me know if you have any further issues.

Norman

I too am interested in this plugin, but have no experience whatsoever with writing/editing plugins. If you have time to make the below changes, I'd appreciate it. Attached changes I have suggested. I have not thoroughly tested, so let me know if you encounter any issues. Probate.fh_lua Norman

The plugin was designed to be easily adaptable. If you feel comfortable editing the plugin, the only changes you need to make are: add a new variable for the 'effects' field; local Effects="" add a new field to add filed to dialog: {tag = "Efects",label = "Effects", type = "STRING",value = Efects, }...

Guys, why is the discussion polluting this 'Add GRO Source plugin' thread even further? No wonder users can't find useful stuff when these diversionary discussions take over a thread. :roll: As it seems that my intervention into the original topic caused that topic to be taken over by these diversi...

The text from source contains all possible fields as it mirrors the same output as the Civil Registration Data plugin. The check box Update Birth Date seems to be automatically ticked if the individual has no birth date. If the birth date is left blank and you don't untick Update Birth Date it does ...

The Add GRO Source forum, suddenly had lots of posts, so it may be difficult to identify my plugins in there.

I have now created a new thread CRD (UK) Plugins, to make them easier to find. viewtopic.php?f=42&t=21444

I'm starting to try out your three CRD(UK) xxxx plugins and they do look very promising and a lot easier to use than the DEA method. I do have at least one suggestion on the Death one, so if you'd like to start a new topic with the latest versions attached I'll comment on there rather than further ...

The ADD GRO Source plugin handled the GRO Births, Marriage and Deaths registration indexes; with a single source record for each subject. As I understand it, support for this plugin has stopped at version 6. A replacement plugin, Record Civil Registration Data (UK) is available for v7. Whereas the A...

I tried that, and was going to complete an author application form. But I was then asked to login first, and I could not work out what username/password combination to use.

This seemed to be a WordPress login, which seemed strange.

If you want to encourage plugin developers, then there needs to be an effective forum to do that, at least so ideas can be exchanged. Whether my work has any value to other user/developers can only be tested if they have the opportunity to see the plugin, try it and explore the code; I found none of...

I assume that some of the plugins mentioned here maybe mine. I responded to a post for the plugin to be upgraded that did not appear to be answered. I thought that the Civil Registration Data (UK) plugin was the logical replacement in V7. As I had, for reasons explained earlier in this thread, devel...

If you want to try my plugin, the first time you use it, you will need to identify the appropriate source record. To do this first, select the region and then press the "source" button of the bottom of the screen. This will list matching source records for the template and region. Select the one to ...

Not sure if this helps. I have developed an alternative plugin, CRD(UK) Birth, to replicate the official plugin you are using. It uses the same template and source records, and generates the same citation and 'text from source', without the need to prepare the citation first. You can find it towards...

I am not sure if there is some confusion here. The Civil Registration Index Source Template does not contain fields like Mother Maiden Name and so it will not appear in the Citation. The Maiden Name is recorded by the Record Civil Registration Data (UK), but only puts into the Text From Source field.

I've attached the corresponding plugins for birth and marriage.
Norman

Good.
I'll make the changes to Birth and Marriage versions and post them tomorrow.

Norman

Graham

I made the changes I suggested. I have only done limited testing, but hopefully does what you want. If this works, let me know and I'll make the same changes for Birth and Marriage.

Regards

Norman

Norman, as I have said these do work well. As I am coming to this as a long-term user of the Add GRO Source plugin. That of course uses three pre-prepared sources, However, when it creates the actual facts it inserts "Registration District" in the Address fields alongside the Place. To maintain bac...

Helen I agree all the information is there, but it takes an effort to find it on the various FH pages. My suggestion was just to post that information on the plugin store. You are right, my plugin is a standard plugin, but it does create a prepared citation when it runs; i.e. it becomes the current ...

Re efficiency, which steps are you finding inefficient? It would be helpful to understand this for the DEAs I'm working on now. Helen I am sure that Graham can explain what he found to be inefficient, as I wrote a replacement plugin to achieve the same aims, I'll try to explain why here. Initially ...

Graham

Birth and marriage versions attached.
Let me know if you have any issues or questions.

Regards

Norman

Graham

If you find my plugin useful for deaths, I have corresponding versions for birth and marriage.

Just ask and I'll upload them.

Regards

Norman

Graham I agree, I found it confusing and why I have created my own plugin to perform the same task. I created another discussion on this forum; https://www.fhug.org.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=21271 in which Mike Tate explained how the Civil Registration Index Plugin is designed to work. If I can ...
