Family Historian User Group

Hi Mark,

I got this error message when I ran the plugin. I answered "no" to the rollback and ran the query and found that 784 tasks transferred in. I think I should have 1785 tasks (= # of to-do list items in RM statistics and # of "TODO" words in the GEDCOM file).

Thank you!

Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong with this fact definition code? It outputs the place but it won't output the spouse's name in the fact table. The same thing happens with the burial tag, where I've set the template to "Burial {individual}: {_place}" and the individual name doesn't show up. I...

One more thing that might be relevant for the plug-in you're building: As I was scanning through my UDF list, I noticed that there's a tag called STAT that tells whether the status is OPEN, PROBLEM, PENDING, or COMPLETED. It may not impact whether the plugin pulls the task over but it may be importa...

Thanks, Mike. I was afraid of that. Still, at least it has all the critical info. The whole reason I'm leaving RM is that they removed their chronology view. (It amounts to not seeing the focus window and the property box: fact tab at the same time.)

Mark, your understanding is correct. One caveat --- I have to-do lists in my file that are general (i.e., not connected to a person or a family) but I can't figure out how I did it. When I want to add a task in Roots Magic, I have to pick either a person or a family (spouse or parents). I suspect th...

You are absolutely correct, Mike. That is the problem! I wasn't able to find it in the All tab because I wasn't using that family icon thing correctly. I didn't realize the colored icon expanded. With the smaller project file, I was better able to figure out what was going on. Here's how it transfer...

In Roots Magic, the main individual window shows the spouse and parents and has a place to put sources and notes to these family relationships (see attached screenshot: the checks indicate a source; notes would go in the column to the left but this particular entry doesn't have any notes for spouse ...

I'm trying to customize the Property Box: Facts tab to be more like a table of columns. I found this excellent post that helped me figure out how to add places to the facts without them: 14934|Property Box Facts tab - a Place problem There are a couple of more things I'd like to do: Right justify th...

This is such an amazing user group with people chipping him to help! Mike's update to the plugin pulls in the full set! It imported all 1607 of the entries, so it found everything that was in the GEDCOM file. I'm not sure why that file doesn't match the RM project statistics but that's clearly a RM ...

By the way, I also solved my query problem when I was trying to set up links to repositories & individuals in the research note. I was using %_RNOT% instead of %_RNOT.TEXT%. This means that I will be able to insert and search on these links in new research notes going forward, so I will be able to u...

I don't know GEDCOM codes but I think maybe it's part of an individual's record? That's usually how I attach my tasks; I add a to-do item to the person I'm researching. I also on rare occasions create a "family" to-do list. I have to scroll up quite a bit to find the 0 tag and the next one up is som...

Yes, the feedback about TODO is relevant. I also have this: 1 _TODO


I didn't use the research log much. I have only 43 entries, mainly for my notes about the TMG transition. I can test something for you, but it's not going to explain the difference in number count.

Thanks for the draft plugin, Mark! The draft plugin from Mark works and pulls them from my actual RM gedcom (sans repository). The only issue I see is that it didn't pull all of them in. I haven't been able to figure out why not. RM statistics show 1785 to-do tasks (yikes! I need to clean those up!)...

I took Mark's advice and played around with the FH7 research notes to determine how I want to do things going forward. I played around with linking them to individuals and repositories and then trying to get them to pull up in queries. Here are my key newbie learnings so far: Queries don't find the ...

Thank you for all of the discussion! This is a very active, welcoming group! I've literally spent only a few hours in FH7 so far and I've never investigated the details behind GEDCOM, so I'll have to spend some time digesting the feedback. In the meantime, here's what is important to me in task list...

Hi,

I'm a former TMG user who converted to RM7 and is now converting to FH7. Maybe I've missed a posting somewhere but is there a way to import the RM to-do list into FH7? Based on the import guides, it looks like the answer is no but I'm really hoping that there is a way.
