Roberto, we are no longer allowed to attach plugins to posts for security reasons and must use file share links. The plugin was never popular enough to warrant publishing in the Plugin Store. Use the Unsourced Individuals link to download the plugin V0.2. ( BTW: My Avast anti-virus reported that Bil...

=TextIf(...) and similar functions only accept text for the 2nd & 3rd parameters. '<para>' and '<br>' are plain text strings, so are nothing to do with the formatting codes <para > and <br> . I think you want to insert an unconditional <br> newline and then a conditional <br> newline if there i...

Matthew, you are mistaken about why there are multiple Citations after merging the Source records. Merging the Source records does NOT ever merge the Citations that link to the Source records. So even if all the Citation-specific Notes are empty there will still be multiple Citations after the Merge...

Welcome to the FHUG. I have tried using your Text Scheme Templates but cannot reproduce the symptoms you describe. Either the date & place are displayed or neither are displayed. I cannot get just the place displayed. Why have you chosen to use both the =FactText(...) function and in %CUR~FAMS>M...

Yes each source only has exactly one citation note. So are you saying that each Source record only has one Citation? i.e. When you look at the Source record in the Records Window Sources tab its Links column value is 1 . If that is true then there is only one instance of a Citation-specific Note to...

The only way to achieve that is with a custom plugin that moves each Citation-specific Note to its linked Source record Note. It will have to avoid duplicating the same URL in the Source record Note and also allow for multiple different URL. Alternatively, the Source records could be redefined to in...

The complication is that Name Only Fact Witnesses use the _SHAN tag instead of _SHAR . They are two different types of field: _SHAN is a text field holding the Name Only text. _SHAR holds a pointer to an Individual record. So your conditional expression will have to get even longer to cater for all ...

It is not clear what you are asking for. The Relationship Pool numbers are allocated entirely automatically by FH and always have. You have no control over how they are generated. Typically, the largest group of related Individuals form Relationship Pool number 1. But after that, there seems no obvi...

The Lookup Missing Census Facts plugin Version 4.9 Date 10 Apr 2024 is now in the Plugin Store.

The earlier links in this thread have been disabled.

Sorry, I overlooked the Name Only scenario.
Add the following expression immediately after the expression I provided.
{=TextIf(%FACT._SHAN.ROLE%="Informant",Text(" registered by ".%FACT._SHAN%))}

The complexity is that Name Only witnesses use _SHAN instead of _SHAR.

I included changes for both those issues in the script I posted earlier.

Does the new script work OK for you Ron?

If so, then I will update the KB.

It is not my code but you are correct there are multiple mistakes in the script. I think the following is the correct code with looping corrections in GetAncestorList. It also caters for same-sex parents. The spelling of 'descendant' is corrected throughout. For descendants, the recursive version in...

I've moved this to the General Usage forum as it has nothing to do with Sources, Citations & Repositories.

Women always use their maiden name by default. You must use suitable expressions to display their married name but that gets complex when married more than once because it depends on the dates of the marriage and the fact. The expression to achieve what you requested gets quite complex so I'll break...

Ian, it makes it easier for us to help if you post the current Sentence Template expression you are using. Also, post some example sentences illustrating what you want them to say for different Fact Witness cases. Do you want the sentence to say 'mother' when the Fact Witness Role is 'mother' and sa...

Sorry, I assumed you would only want Help topics associated with Sentence Template expressions, not everything.
BTW: The fh.chm file is at C:\Program Files (x86)\Family Historian\Program\

Which version of Windows are you running with Parallels? If it is Windows 10 or 11 then it has a perfectly good built-in Windows Microsoft Defender that costs nothing. Perhaps you are talking about the Mac BitDefender anti-virus. According to the post linked below it is not needed: Does the MacBook ...

See the Delete Recent File List plugin in the Plugin Store. There may be other plugins and other use cases where FH does not have commands to adjust some registry keys.

Regarding printing FH Help pages to PDF, yes, that is possible. Open any FH Help page and select a topic from the Contents on the left. Use the Print option in the top left toolbar and enable Print the selected heading and all subtopics . Then expandable topics with a [+] on the left will get all th...

My 'Map Life Facts' plugin uploads/sends Place &/or Address details to various geocoders (Google Maps, etc) but only after the user has obtained an access key to the geocoder service, so does that constitute user approval? Nevertheless, it violates Mandatory Requirement 5. So does this need a u...

Regarding Mandatory Requirement 4. using libraries, I don't see how it would be possible for a linked FHUG plugin to invoke separate libraries, which would not exist in the user's file system unless they were downloaded separately via another link. My 'Map Life Facts' plugin uploads/sends Place &...

tatewise How do you get the quotes to say who wrote the original, and the post link it came from. The quotes button doesn't do that, unless I've missed something. It's always annoyed me I can't indicate who I'm quoting when it's several posts later. You click the Reply with quotes button on the rig...

I presume you are referring to Custom Id numbers.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to include those Custom Id numbers in Descendant Outline Reports.

I no longer have a copy of FH V5 to check but I think they are produced from a Publish/Report droplist of Report types in the main toolbar across the top.

Have you tried interrogating the FH Help pages?

Yes, the Check Version in Store process only uploads the name of a plugin to retrieve the version in the Plugin Store, which is compared with the version installed in FH. My Lookup Missing Census/BMD plugins produce URL in a browser table that when the user clicks on them uploads the URL details suc...
