Hi

Thanks for the response!

You were absolutely spot on in your thinking. I can go and delete it now. I set it up when I was adjusting Sentences. I will check it is not used anywhere before I delete.

Many thanks.

By chance, I've spotted that in the Individual Events section of the Query Window, I have two similar entries titled Death & Death 2. Death.jpg They appear to be almost identical apart from Death 2 not having an entry for Descriptor. So far I have not opened all the other entries to see if there is ...

Thank you Jane

That was exactly what the problem was. I must admit that is a completely new one on me. I'd never have suspected that.


Thanks again

Two days ago, I was quite happily using AS to enter a mix of Birth , death etc records. In every case, the first thing I did was to click on Add Images at the top right. Then I simply dragged the relevant jpg file from screen 2 onto the appropriate area on the AS Image Viewer Screen. Yesterday, when...

I have had a response from Calico Pie regarding the initial issue of a short form for place. Their solution seems to work The FACT tag only allows reference to tags which are common to all fact types - which _PLAC is not. So _PLAC is not supported as a sub-tag of FACT in a data reference. I see from...

I have reported the inconsistency as a bug.

I have also registered the issue that there should be no Override Templates included at installation, and that if an override is in use, it should be highlighted clearly on the relevant screen.

Sorry, but you are conflating the two problems here. The first point is related to the use of Short place name for the two places in the Emigration fact. You have confirmed that the bug report should be extended to confirm the issue in the overide for the principal fact. I will report that as well. ...

Just spotted another variation.

I had reset to Installation settings on the Fact Definition screen. If you reset it here, the override returns.

If you reset it from the Edit Role - Advanced Features as Lorna did, it does not.

I have not used a Witness for emigration either. In fact I was on the point of deleting the Witness Role while I was experimenting with it.

Still puzzled why it would be set anyway?

As far as I can see also, the Solution outlined above for the Sentence Template is not working in the Fact Tab override template for the Principal. E migrated <from {%FACT.PLAC:SHORT%}> <to {%CUR_PRIN.EMIG._PLAC:SHORT%}> <with {other=principal,emigrant}> in my example this is just generating "Emigra...

I have a question that is not directly related to what has gone before on this thread, but heavily linked. As one part of this exercise, I reset the Fact Definition to Installation Settings. I discovered that the deault installation settings use the following for a Witness Sentence {individual} emig...

Bug report created

Thank you that works now.

I do have a small number with multiple emigrations so I'll keep an eye out for this.

I'll file a report to Calico in the morning.

Great help.

Hope you and others in the group are all well

Hi Mike

Thanks as usual for the prompt help.

I'm getting it to work for {_place}, but {_place2} is not working for me.

I pasted it in to make sure I wasn't making a mistake, but I cannot make it work.

When using the Emigration fact type, {individual} emigrated <from {_place}>< aboard the {=GetlabelledText(%FACT.NOTE2%,"ship")}> <to {_place2}> <{date}>< {age},>< arriving on {=GetlabelledText(%FACT.NOTE2%,"date")}. > is there a way to show the short place name for {_place} & {_place2}. Almost all m...

Thanks again

Yes, moving the tree to fit in into one page worked perfectly.

But having installed the Nova Printer driver, you are right that is easier still.

Thanks.

I'm trying to sort a single page PDF I've been looking through how_to:creating_a_single_page_pdf_of_a_diagram|> Single Page PDF of a Diagram and can't see where my problem lies. I've also read through 17219|PDF and Images for Medium to Large Diagrams but it seems much of the has been incorporated in...

That's it, problem solved. There was a strange override text in there!

Thanks

Managed to get back to this issue. As I was heavily involved in the topic you linked to, I would have been disappointed if it was as simple as that. As far as I can see, it looks as it should do. James Christina 1.jpg The image does not show the whole text, so here it is. {individual} died <of '{cau...

I've ended up with an odd error and I can't see how to correct it (short of deleting the fact and re-adding it.) I entered a death using AS, and the husband was entered as a witness. However in his timeline, it is appearing as "Birth/Death of Wife Christina zzzzzz". Christina 1.jpg I can't remember ...

Thanks, I should have found that, there are enough hits.

Not sure if this is the right forum to post this, but I was using the Ancestral Sources Data Entry Plugin when this error arose, however the dialog box is titled Family Historian! I'm away from home in a place with patchy WiFi. I'm using AS by running the plugin from within FH. Several times, I've h...

I haven't had any time over the last couple of days (or over the next week) to add my bit, but usability must be the basis of any changes. I'm a new user with only 2 to 3 years experience, but I have bought the Calico Pie book, and have read many pages in the KB. I'm also pretty computer literate as...

OK that makes sense now. Thanks

It has to be more than that. I had already tried removing the first {individual}. as that was my suspicion

But, if you take the bare bones example in my second post, if I remove the first code, I still get an error.
