* Duplicate photos

[craigmollekin]

Hi,

I've noticed that when I attach the same photos to the same locations for an individual, generated web pages display the SAME photos over and over again.

For example, my relation lived at High Street in Chesterton in two different years. I attached the SAME link to both residence events and the web page generated displays the SAME images twice.

Am I perhaps missing something, or will there be some purpose in the SAME images being displayed twice on the SAME page? Or is there perhaps an option that I'm over looking? Or is it another shortfall of the website generation tool that I've uncovered? On occasions where the same person has lived in the same residence for twenty years and recorded as doing so (electoral roll years for example), it's going to look ridiculous having the same image duplicated twenty times. Any suggestions would be appreciated please.

I believe it's simply showing graphically that the person has two completely separate facts with a photo attachment and the photo therefore appears twice. If they were at the same address, I would suggest one possibility would be to change one of the Residence facts to a date range, 'Bet X and Y', link both census sources to the single fact and delete the other fact. Assuming, of course, that the same Photo isn't linked to individual Census Sources.

It is no so much the website generation, but the report format that inserts the picture twice. It is simply following your implied instructions of showing the picture against multiple facts.

One solution is to create a Source record for that address with the picture attached, and cite that Source for each associated Fact. Then the Source and its picture will only appear once in the report.

Perhaps unhelpfully - this is why I use date ranges for events where the details are the same. But I also confess that I enter my census events manually and therefore can turn my residence events into ranges manually.

Thanks for the replies and ideas; I think I'm going to try and remove duplicate photos by only including one set per individual.
