Re: Ancestor/Descendant count

You must have run the plugin "Create and Update Ancestor and Descendant Counts" to create them, so if you do not want them any more, run the plugin and select the Delete option.

Re: Custom Id

You don't need a plugin a query will do. Write yourself a Query which shows your custom id column. Add a filter to exclude the ones which "begins with" BS. Run the Query. Select the column with the Custom IDs (select the first one and scroll to the end and Shift Click the last one) and press the del...

Re: Mac/Linux-compatible version of Backup & Restore FH Settings via Windows plugin

fhFileUtils does not provide a substitute for the Code Snippet Directory Tree . I might be missing something important, but does getFolderContents() not offer similar options local sProjectFile = fhGetContextInfo('CI_PROJECT_FILE') local sProjectPath = fhf.getParent(sProjectFile) local sPath print(...

Re: Source citation list no longer sorts correctly

Hint: If you are adding a few regular Sources you can either copy and paste the citation (it has it's own clipboard) or set up an Automatic Source citation using a Prepared citation if you are entering a lot of information from the same source. You can also add your favourite sources to the Favourit...

Re: Is there a way to show a source/citation tree?

P.S As a developer, if you want to see how to develop your own plugins any of the ones from the store are in open code so you look and customise the source code if you want to.

If you really do not want to use the standard census event you can of course use your custom ones, you just need to select them when you build your custom queries.

Re: Siblings enumerations

What is happening currently is you are moving your ptrChild point to the Individual records and then looping that. What you need to do is loop the child links in the Family Record. So define local ptrChildRec = fhNewItemPtr() then on line 12 ptrChild = fhGetItemPtr(ptrFamily,"~.CHIL") Then around li...

Re: Copy Project Failed

I suspect your paths are getting too long.

Try using a much shorter title for the Project name.

Remember your total path and file name must be less that 256 characters if you are on a standard windows install.

There is another advantage with this method, which I do not think has been mentioned. I suspect the backup can be restored on to a "barebones" PC, without Family Historian installed and if a later version of FH is installed the automated "first run" routines in FH will do any element upgrades as nee...

Re: works at command prompt not as plugin

You could try using the fhShellExecute instead, it has a few more options to trap for problems. It's most likely windows permissions problems and fhShellExecute might avoid the problem as it spins out a new process rather than trying to run Lua under fhlua.

Re: Checking string is ASCII

Logged for Developers means it's been passed to a developer to check, it does not mean it has been identified as a fault.

If you want to put your plugin in the plugin store you need to avoid writing to the registry.
