Family Historian User Group

Thanks Mike,

Will give that a go.

Much appreciated.

Thanks Adrian,

yes the thread covers it exactly.

Many thanks.

Happy New Year folks! Quick query. I want to create a fact type which adds a second Place to the Property Box Fact panel. In other words an equivalent of Emigration (which has Place: and To: ) or Immigration (which has Place: and From:), both have two places in the Fact panel. (I'm adding Travelled ...

Further news ...

"This is just to let you know that the issue you raised will be fixed in the next update of Family Historian."

Good to know CP took it onboard and turned it around quickly.

Mike,
this from CP:
"Thank you for reporting that. We have replicated the problem using your examples - thank you. We have logged the issue and it will be passed to the developers for investigation. "

Yes,

and the same is true for the Marriage Item in the Text Scheme box. If the first instance of marriage has no text to display, the loop ends, so any subsequent marriage does not get reported.

I'll report to CP and revert.

Yes, I think the multi line approach feels the easiest way forward.

Once again, I very much appreciate your help.

Sorry replied before you sent yours Mike. I think that confirms your point. This feels like a bug to me.

Mike, do you think this is a possible bug with printing on a diagram? If I take the Occupation Item from the Available Items list in the Diagram Options Text Scheme window and use the default: =FactText(%INDI.OCCU[1+]%, "1SA","A_Occup: _ _ in _") and use it on dummy FH family where someone has two o...

Thanks Mike, you seem to be 24/7 call out -- much appreciated. My intention with the line: =TextIf(IsTrue((%INDI.FAMS[1+]>_STAT% = "Never Married") or (%INDI.FAMS[1+]>_STAT%) = "Unmarried Couple"),"",%INDI.FAMS[1+]>HUSB>NAME:SURNAME%) is that if the Status for a specific partnership is either "Never...

Hi Mike and/or anyone else, I'm still having problems printing out married women's names in my diagrams. Based on the earlier help my latest line is: =TextIf(IsTrue((Text(%INDI.FAMS[1+]>_STAT%) = "Never Married") or (Text(%INDI.FAMS[1+]>_STAT%) = "Unmarried Couple")),"",%INDI.FAMS[1+]>HUSB>NAME:SURN...

Perfect Mike, thanks. I see I left off the closing ) for Exists -- been staring at it for hours and couldn't see simple the mistake. I'd like to claim old age but I'm not sure that's true. Useful to know that the looping index must be on each occurrence of FAMS too. Thanks again.

Hi folks, In my diagrams I use %INDI.FAMS[1+]>HUSB.NAME:SURNAME% to navigate and find the married name for women in my tree. Of course given the underlying data model, this comes unstuck when a woman doesn't actually marry a man she had some form of relationship with. I see that the attribute family...

Tried out your plug-in Mike.

Exactly what I was hoping for. Many thanks that is a very useful addition for me.

Many thanks both,

first for cross checking my sanity and secondly for explaining why and a work around.

Top drawer, thanks.

Hi folks, simple question: when you Publish > Miscellaneous Reports > Note Records how do you set up your Notes Record that you want to publish so that the title of the Report (Heading Level 1) is just the title you want and not the entire text of the note truncated ? Probably a daft question but I ...

Helen, that's some mighty good clutching! I converted those links to Arial font and they now work! Thank you ever so much. I guess you get so close to a problem you don't question some of the core principles. I wouldn't have immediately thought the PDF engine would be font sensitive, but that's clea...

Hi Mike, yes. I first encountered the problem with the URLs embedded in my Source Templated citations which were then output in my Individual Narrative reports. I tried to simplify the repeatable tests so that I could isolate where the problem originated. I found I could consistently repeat the faul...

Hi, I've played around a bit with the thread Mike pointed me at which was really useful in removing superfluous spaces. But that still leaves me with a problem in denoting URLs in FH and then their representation as weblinks in PDF. To simplify the problem I've reduced it to this: 1. In a Note recor...

Thanks Mike,

It’s the former: ‘Source Template metafield with a URL data type’.

Looks like a really useful thread I hadn’t spotted. I’ll have a read and try out the suggestions.

Many thanks.

Hi folks, I was pleased to find that URLs I'd embedded in my source citations (for specifically Individual Narrative Reports) were converted to working links in the PDF version of the report. Big smile! But then I observed that the majority of links didn't actually work without some finessing of the...

Thanks Mike, Figured you had it covered but just wanted belt and braces 👍 Yes, I’ve read the Working with Places and Addresses piece, and the distinct separation approach works well with my approach and mindset I guess. I use Places and Addresses in different ways for different analysis. And I must ...

Mike, while you're here. Does the Map Life plugin store the Lat/Long co-ordinates in the FH database in Place>Map>Latitude and Place>Map>Longitude or does it keep the data only in its bespoke file. I'm using your plugin (very, very useful btw) for addresses (I've used Place and Address as per the or...

Thanks both. Reported to Calico Pie. (But understand Map Life is your Plugin Mike.) Looking at the NLS webpage: https://maps.nls.uk/projects/subscription-api/index.html, I'm wondering whether there's an opportunity to use the new Maptiler API to access the larger set of available map types rather th...

Hi Helen,

just checking it wasn't only me first. Being relatively new to FH I wanted to be sure.

Thanks
