Hi Don Had a look at TNG from your link. I too am interested in what TNG might and could do for my set up. Does the info of legacy get via ged com process to integrate with TNG or is it built from scratch? Considering at this stage Just following the post Colin McCullough

I suspected about as much as you've stated. TNG (The Next Generation of Generation of Sitebuilding, http://www.tngsitebuilding.com/ ) is what I use to as a website to display my family tree that I manage in Legacy. I guess you could call it "open source" in that the PHP scripts can be modified - and often with quite useful improvements. The better "mods" seem to eventually become part of TNG upgrades. What I was looking for with Legacy was "utility" mods that could do things that are not currently built into Legacy - such as reports tailored to user needs, and simple Excel/Access editing or searching of Legacy databases. I know you didn't support LTools, and because it was a commercial product, there were probably impediments to using a good idea from it (or any other 3rd-party program) in subsequent versions of Legacy. It just seems that if there were an active community of Legacy users (as there is for TNG), with the ability to create mods for public use (at the user's own risk), then good ideas would come quicker for future improvements to Legacy. The mod would enable the value of a potential improvement to be assessed "in advance" - rather than the current system of user suggestions and potential use by Legacy in the future. It also seems like a vibrant community of Legacy users, working together to improve Legacy, would be good for the Millenia Corp. as well. Thanks again for hearing me out.

The only officially endorsed applications are those listed on our Add-ons. These are third party developed programs which can access the Legacy database and which provide features not included in or that augment Legacy features. Support for those Addons is by the third party developers not by Millennia corp. Ltools is the only tool that I am aware of that would access and update the Legacy database. The application was never endorsed by the company so users of Ltools were using it at their own risk. If they messed up their Legacy database to the point where it was unusable by Legacy we could not help them. Never having used TNG I have no idea how those "Mods" worked with TNG nor what support if any is provided by the owners of TNG to those who use the mods.
