I just discovered a gotcha if you try and build variable tables in the RT Editor, not sure what extent. I tried to insert a row at the top of the table, and it disappeared the rest of the table except the row I was inserting above. :| I think the RT handler gets confused or mishandling the multiple ...

The whole conversion thing sounds like a pain, but I'll help out with testing as suggested when you've had a chance to delve. I've attached the sort of thing that's possible by the manual route. I was playing with a recent birth cert as I only have a few and had a rather messy Text from Source. I kn...

I actually came across the fact tables 'looked' like they joined together a few weeks ago. I accidentally deleted all the lines between two different shaped tables, and saw they now looked like one. They had different columns and one was wider than the other. I simply undid it as it wasn't what I wa...

Ah, yes, one of those traditional easy to find bits of information in an obvious location.

Thanks for all your continuing efforts.

Not a problem, inter-format conversion is always a pain, particularly when special language characters are involved. A quick question around the same subject: Is there an overview of auto-text templates, as the Template Keywords and Functions help page lists some Rich Text Keywords and Functions, bu...

Yeah, I had a quick google and Wiki search on RichText and figured the { might be a bit of an issue as it's used by RT and if not handled correctly could muck things up.

I will do next chance I get, but I have used the same auto text template before in this same way for a number(~20) of marriages and not had an issue. So I believed....... Although as I type this, I realise I went through a horrible exercise over Christmas period (3 weeks effort) of updating sources ...

I've just done one where I didn't make any changes to the auto text before saving, and it went through as it should do. I've backed out the changes and done it again to capture what you asked and the problem occurred as reported before.

Shots attached,

Quick update, the witnesses are being correctly added as witnesses against the Marriage fact, so it's something to do with the Text to Source data copy.

AS 7.1.2 64-bit Marriage Entry Auto Text: Rich Text Parish Registers 1754-1812 (England/Wales) It's a few weeks since I last did any marriage entries, and haven't seen this before (probably v7.0.11). I have just had a couple of instances where the "Solemnized between us" bride/groom names and the "I...

Hi,

Just spotted the release of 7.1 on another thread, and see that you have added the {DATE.DAY.ORD}, many thanks for that.

I am about to download it and try it out. It will definitely shorten my title templates a lot.

I similarly only add the relative(s) (who is lodger, border etc.), and ignore the other people as I am not interested in them. I do however also keep a copy of the census image in case I want to have a subsequent look, so I still have the information if it became interesting. The other fun is when y...

Ah! new tricks to try
Thanks

Thanks, for that. It's basically what I thought; in that it is designed to add to what's there rather than provide a more comprehensive media update. At least I now know it won't change any existing stuff. I'm with you on using AS, as I find it a bit of a pain in FH (maybe because I've not found the...

Hi, I thought the add images to sources would be useful when I found some extra media to add to an existing source such as updating an old source with a parish record image that is now available. I'm using Method 1, and I did read the help :D , but may have missed some subtlety. I had assumed that i...

The conclusion of my posts is that it would be nice to have a {DATE.DAYORDINAL} or {DATE.DAYORD} sub tag to make it a lot easier and clearer to use than my dirty great expression. Probably back of the queue of ideas I expect, given I have a solution for now, unless someone comes up with a better one...

Well, I figured out one problem, I was not putting {} around the keys. Doh. :cry: So, the final solution is {DAY.DAY}=IF[=OR[=EQUALS[{DATE.DAY}%1]%=OR[=EQUALS[{DATE.DAY}%21]%=EQUALS[{DATE.DAY}%31]]]%st%=IF[=OR[=EQUALS[{DATE.DAY}%2]%=EQUALS[{DATE.DAY}%22]]%nd%=IF[=OR[=EQUALS[{DATE.DAY}%3]%=EQUALS[{DA...

Hi, I like to use full form dates in titles for sources e.g. 1st March 1927 or 23rd May 1834 etc. and it would be nice to be able to do this easily as part of the options for configuring the Title Templates. There isn't a {DAY} sub tag for this format, so I have attempted to cook one up using =IF, =...

Hi,

Just an update. I've done quite a number of AS7 source creations and renewals of various types this week and not had the problem since the original report. So, fingers crossed it's a one off weirdness for a short period of time.

Cheers

I've been trying out various things to try and reproduce the problem with some better context to be able to provide better info. I'm (was, retired this year) a software developer, so understand what you need to know to be able to get anywhere. I tried again after posting, but everything worked as ex...

I've been playing around with AS7 (64-bit) to see how the new auto templating looked, and had some crashes related to linking images. I was looking at possibly replacing existing sources with new ones with better looking auto text so I could get rid of separate transcription files. I tried to link t...
