Just curiosity.

My workround for the witness problem in TNG involves creating 1 ASSO facts so I wondered how you were using 2 ASSO.

The change of dates in your new plug-in seems to work perfectly - showing quarter dates as Qn yyyy but not messing up dates between one year and a later one. I noticed you had also included an option to show Witness Role 2 as 2 ASSO and tried that, but it didn't do anything - probably not designed f...

I don't think I would take the CPanel route,

I have written a small program which I use to change Witness events into a form which TNG will accept, so I could add conversion of quarter dates to that.

Thank you, Mike.

Thank you Mike and Adrian for investigating this. I still want to use the Qn format in TNG and am not bothered about possible problems with day/month sorting because I seldom have a need to sort in my websites. There does not seem to be much support for adding a solution to the Export plugin so I wi...

Mike and I seem to have misunderstood each other. I have not written a Mod for TNG. What I did was: choose a small gedcom exported from FH but not yet uploaded to TNG open the gedcom in WordPad and change three quarter dates to Qn format upload the altered gedcom to my TNG family site (with no probl...

Because of the need to rely on the GRO index to identify individuals born in Britain since 1837, I have a lot of BMD dates in my FH databases in the form of quarter dates . FH displays these in the format I prefer ("Qn YYYY", similar to the GRO Index format of Qn/yyyy) but stores them in gedcoms in ...

Thank you very much. I have got it working as you suggested.

Is there any way in which I can show a flag in a chart text box?

Thank you very much Lorna.

Actually I was referring to Notepad++ which is a free program I found on the internet and seems to have facilities for manipulating text files which are not available in Notepad or Wordpad or Word.

A few months ago I found that my habit of entering dates extracted from the GRO online indexes into Birth Date or Death Date in the FH Property Box was causing too many problems, so I decided to set up custom events for Birth and Death Registration and then transfer the existing quarter dates+places...

Thank you.
I had noticed the Labels tabs but not looked at them.

I think that your 2-line proposal would be a considerable improvement. But I am still attached to the ASSO Rela solution because I think that an ASSOCIATION between two persons is more understandable to the general public than anything that involves genealogical jargon like Witness, Fact and Event. ...

We are comparing looking at the property box of a witness in FH which tells you nothing until you click the Facts tab and then only that he/she was a witness in some type of event - until you click on that line in the property box and then get some more details and you can then click on the Source c...

I find it difficult to answer your question about 1 Even facts because I am not sure why the plug-in creates them. One of the attractions for me in the ASSO Rela format is that it gives the role of the witness and date of the event as well as the name of and link to the Principal - and all that on o...

These are URLs for some types of page in TNG: Family Group https://-/genealogy/familygroup.php?familyID=F2&tree=tree1 Family Chart https://-/genealogy/familychart.php?familyID=F440&tree=tree1 Repository https://-/genealogy/showrepo.php?repoID=R26&tree=tree1 Source https://-/genealogy/showsource.php?...

"In the 1 EVEN 2 TYPE Ω ... Role facts why do you prefer the 1 ASSO link " - I cannot work out how to do quoting on this board. I think that I unconsciously wanted to copy the efficient and simple use of space in the FH property box, where a witness role has a single line in the Facts tab but can be...

Thank you, Mike

In earlier versions of FH I used to create a named list containing the records i wanted to populate a new gedcom and then go through the process of exporting a gedcom. After the new gedcom had been saved FH popped up a dialog box offering to open the gedcom in a new instance of FH, but this no longe...

I have, I hope, corrected the handling of a name-only witness and will attach the revised program. I am not sure what the problem is with the 1 Even issues. My program was written on the assumption that all "1 Even 2 Type - - Role" sections are added by the Export Gedcom plugin as copies of an event...

Thank you Mike - I will look into these problems.

I have included in the zip file attached an "Instructions for use" file.
Anyone who needs more information is welcome to contact me.

You may be able to work from the attached file.
If not please send me an actual email address that I can use

Cannot find a usable email address so I will try to attach it to this post.

No good - says .bas is invalid file type

Mike: I will certainly send you my program by email, hoping that you can easily translate it out of Basic into Lua. At 85, I do not feel up to learning a new programming language - I feel the same way about the the new Source system in FH7. I should explain that the program also has another function...
