Add to GRO Source Plugin

Post by capnkeith » 23 Oct 2013 16:42

With reference to the last 2 or 3 posts in the following thread:-
http://www.fhug.org.uk/forum/viewtopic. ... 229#p50227

At the moment the GRO reference and location are inserted in the Note Field of the Property Box and the quarter date period into the Date Field.

Would it be possible to amend the Plugin to also include the quarter date period along with the GRO reference and location in the Note Field.

The plugin already puts the Qtr/Month and year in the Where Within Source field, so please could you explain exactly what field (data reference ideally) you are expecting the plugin to record the Year and Qtr to.

Firstly I should have checked the suggested thread title, because until today I hadn't seen your plugin and had been using the R Begg version. Probably because I have never gone off the fhug site to look for them and using the fhug alphabetical or recent updated lists, where the R Begg version was the first I came across. Today I found the FH Plugin Store and on there both versions are there together. Sorry, if there is a wrong way to get something I'll find it.

So looking at Jane's plugin it does already do what I wanted, in that the date is included with the other GRO information. However the other version by R Begg is easier to get to, as it is in the Tools dropdown menu one click and it's there. With all the other plugins you are required to go the plugin window select and then run. Or is there a way of putting them onto the Tools Dropdown menu?

Yes, you must have added the other one. Just Click more, then select the Plugin and click the tick box.

Should the version in the Plugins WiP section be deleted?
