I think that I've sussed out why count = #tblToTidy didn't work. After a bit of experimentation it would appear that tables that are created only using the 'Value' and leaving Lua to provide the key e.g. 1 "Peter" 2 "Paul" 3 "Mary" Will return the row count. Whereas tables where the use has provided...

Hi Mike Many thanks Attached are the plugin - currently called Tidy Place name check a gedcom - Test FH Sample Project.ged - .....This is a butchered version with only 16 Places .....5 of which are malformed .....and 2 of the 5 would cause conflicts if renamed. Should return a table with 3 columns 5...

Mike

I've followed your tip for table searching and it works.
10 minutes down to 10 seconds

Would you be prepared to give the plugin a try for me please?

Many thanks

Dave

Thanks a lot Mike.

Job for tomorrow

I’ve got my prototype running. It returns 3 columns: Malformed Placenames – list of malformed place names Correction – List of what they should be corrected to Conflicts with – List of corrected place names which would conflict with another, existing place name e.g. Malformed Place Names ,Bristol, E...

Mike

Thanks for the tips, I'll start on it next week and see how I get on.

Right, I feel as though I'm stood on top of a 30 metre diving board with only 1 metre of water below me! Find Duplicate Place Names plugin These are the thoughts buzzing round my head at the moment Note: I have used the diamond symbol ◊ to represent a space for clarity Aim Family Historian doesn’t a...

Hi Mike

That is excellent, thank you very much.

It does look as though I was seeing previous results before.
The showing of white space in the results was just what I needed.

Many thanks

Hi Mike Thanks for the reply. I've read the Place Name Changes guidance and it doesn't appear to be giving me issues in this particular case. I always work on a copy when doing search and replace until I'm happy that it's doing what I want - been caught out before :D Your suggestion of using the LUA...

FH v6.2.7 Windows v10 19041.450 Search and Replace v3.0 I’ve found what appears to be an anomaly. It would appear that it doesn't like repeating the same Search and Replace action. Am I missing something? I’m trying to tidy up a friend’s Addresses & Places entries. The aim is to remove duplicate spa...

Thanks Mike that's exactly what I'm looking for.

I'm not really trying to do anything in particular, I simply wanted to find out if it were possible, and my example was simply that.

Hi Lorna

Thanks, I thought that might be the case.

Unfortunately it is the built-in functions such as AgeAt that I am trying to circumvent

Is it possible to calculate a value from a parameter in a Query? Note: This is an example to explain the principle of what I am trying to achieve, not a specific query. Prompt for a year of birth Add if %INDI.BIRT[1].DATE:YEAR% was later than ... with a parameter of BirthYear Upon running, the value...

Thanks Mike

Thanks Mike I had taken into account the other record types, but just wanted confirmation that I understood the linking between Individuals. Project B hasn't been updated since the partial merge with Project A It's the reviewing that I was trying to stage over a few days. Looks like a long day ahead...

I am looking to merge two projects. There are about 7,000 individuals in total. At some point in the past about 1,300 individuals have been merged from Project B into Project A. These merged records still exist in Project B. Questions 1. Am I right in thinking that if I only merged those records in ...

Yes, v2.0.4
No, not a multi-site install
Will move message to WP site.
Thanks

Hi I've just given this a try and find that it doesn't give me any information beyond the count of individuals. Small (71 people) gedcom exported from FH using both export gedcom, and the Export Gedcom plugin. In both cases UTF-8 was selected. WordPress v5.3.2 PHP v7.3 Webpage:- https://www.quarlton...

This is the guidance received from Ros at Family Historian Support. It works well. It's not possible to do it in a Single step, but you can work around the problem as follows. Get your diagram displayed. Then select Diagram>Set/Clear Marks using Query http://www.quarlton.co.uk/fhug_images/diagram_li...

Thanks for that.

Calico Pie have just given me the same advise about using a query to hide photos.

I have made a modified template for B,M, D for a diagram that will be given to other people. If the person is 'Living' then the name shows as 'Living, and BMD are not shown However I would like to hide the photograph of 'Living' people but can't see how to do that. Any suggestions much appreciated. ...

I think that covers it very well Mike.

That seems quite clear to me Mike.

However, if you make the label *AKA, as you pointed out to me, this moves the search field up the list of 'Other Events' in the Advanced Search.

Yes to displaying the names.

The search using the Advanced search works, but it's not the most instinctive thing to do.

Thinking about adding a bit of text to the home page to point people in the right direction.

Thanks for the input.

I've had a reply from Darrin at TNG:- Under Admin/Custom Event Types, you can edit the "Display Order" for each type. Event types with a lower value should be displayed first, so edit the NAME event and assign it a display order lower than all of your other events types (I think negative numbers wil...
