Re: Expression for Residence / Census

BTW: Topics 22858|Get a list of people from Project 1 to Project 2 and 22844|Search and delete duplicate Events? seem to be incomplete! Two plugins can help you change Fact types.

Re: Search and delete duplicate Events?

The posting by Viper1812 has been split off to thread Search and delete duplicate Family (22891) as it is more complex than just a duplicate Event.

Re: Expression for Residence / Census

Would you be interested in converting those Residence facts to Census events? If so then I can explain how to use the Change Any Fact Tag plugin. It is a common mistake to think =ContainsText(...) will search a nominated field. It only searches records. So use the =FindText(...) function instead or ...

Re: Generate an exportable list of Source Templates

Teresa, some techniques avoid you needing a separate list. If you sort the Source Template records in the Records Window the way you want them then that is the order they will be presented when you want to select a Source Template. In the Select Source Template Record dialogue you can use the Update...

Re: Overriding ":REVERSE" in a bibliography

No, you cannot use the :GIVEN_ALL qualifier because that is not supported by template Name type fields. Only the :GIVEN qualifier is allowed on template Name fields as specified in the Source Template Formats help. However, it acts the same as :GIVEN_ALL and lists everything except the /Surname/. I ...

Re: Overriding ":REVERSE" in a bibliography

As Adrian suggested, it may need two fields. 1) a Name type template field for the 1st author that supports the :GIVEN and :SURNAME qualifiers. 2) a Text type template field for any other authors. Then I think a Footnote template and a Bibliography template would be straightforward. e.g. Footnote: {...

Re: Overriding ":REVERSE" in a bibliography

The crux of the matter is surely that organisation names appearing in a :REVERSE "author" item get treated as if they were a human name. In other words, "Great Western Railway" gets shown (by default) as "Railway, Great Western". Which isn't the end of the world in tha...

Re: Overriding ":REVERSE" in a bibliography

In my defence m'lord, the OP said nothing about Strathclyde format or the Source generic Author field. So when names were mentioned I assumed templated Name type fields were being discussed, especially as the :REVERSE qualifier was mentioned which only applies to Name type fields. As I said, if an e...

Re: Overriding ":REVERSE" in a bibliography

IMO Names should always be entered in Name fields using the FH/GEDCOM convention Given /Surname/ Then the template formats can decide whether default normal order or :REVERSE order is needed in the citation. It should all become clear if Gary posts some example Name data and the Bibliography format ...

Re: Overriding ":REVERSE" in a bibliography

In a bibliography, peoples names are typically shown with the last name first and terminated by a period. eg. "White, George." That is not my experience. The default is given names and surname without any period. If there is a Name type field Principal holding George James /White/ I get t...

Yes, that is quite an old plugin and does not correctly handle UTF-8 Unicode accented letters and symbols. It will substitute a ? for any accented letter such as your Polish diacritics but otherwise I think it works OK. Ideally, it needs to be updated for FH V7 standard plugin mode and support UTF-8...

Re: Tabulating Templated Source data fields

The Where Used Record Links plugin must cope with multiple templated sources so uses Field numbers.

An enhancement could be to use template field Names when only a single template is involved.
Can you please supply an example of the missing data issue.
