RE: [LegacyUG] Legacy Gedcom preparation ? ?
As I'm not registered for Rootsweb Newsletter I haven't seen this but I would be interested to know where/how a Gedom comes into loading pictures into World Connect. BTW Gedom Standards have nothing to do with Legacy other than the fact that they use it.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy Gedcom preparation ? ?
I would bet no plans. Legacy already has a facility for the export of gedcoms that can be uploaded to WorldConnect. However, the gedcom spec, which is beyond Legacy's control, concerns itself only with data, not images. - Original Message - From: J B Coats [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Sent: Wednesday, January 23, 2008 8:01 AM Subject: [LegacyUG] Legacy Gedcom preparation ? ?

RE: [LegacyUG] Legacy Gedcom preparation ? ?
Since I last replied, Mark Lang kindly sent me the article from Rootsweb. It seems to me that no changes to Legacy are necessary, although I do have a couple of points. Firstly, the picture must already be on a web server for Rootsweb to access it and the full URL (ie. commencing http://; ) placed in any of the Notes in Legacy. So WorldConnect visits that site, picks up the picture and places it in your Notes. Secondly the article states that the URL should be enclosed in the html tags and . For use in placing an URL in its own web pages Legacy uses « and » ie. Alt+174 and Alt+175 but these brackets and their contents are ignored in exporting to Gedom 5.5. If one compiles Legacy web pages and also WorldConnect it would mean having both URLs in the Notes which would not look particularly good on the Legacy web pages, or changing the brackets depending on how it is to be used - UGH! if there are a lot.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy Gedcom preparation ? ?
Thanks Ron for the comments. UGH! is correct. It seems like too much to handle for WorldConnectTree and the gedcom feature. A couple pictures maybe, but not for a large volume. I do also use the Freepages for the same file created by using Legacy Web Pages creating feature. Pictures are displayed there OK and automatically included Thanks all, will stick to the simple gedcom for WorldConnectTree and separately the Legacy Web Pages routine for other site postings. till later _J_B_ J B Coats http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=wa6dsb which has the link to the freepages site.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy gedcom Preparation ? and HTML feature at WorldConnectTree
JB, Legacy can't do this automatically. First off, you need to upload your photos to the internet. Legacy won't know where those files are located or what they are named. So even though you don't want to, you would have to take each of those individuals for whom you have photographs and load their picture online, then copy the URL that picture is at, and paste it into the HTML shown in step 3 of your email. So, more work than simply uploading a Legacy-generated GEDCOM. It was great to see you mentioned this, though, as I was going to forward it to Jim Terry for him to highlight the feature on his Legacy news. I think I am going to try it with some of my one-name study Cullivans.

This prompted the question to the group. Roger mentioned about the Legacy gedcom feature. It works great and I use it on regular basis. It appears that there may be a way that Legacy could add the html info to the general notes. The info being taken from the Attached Pictures details. Would hate to have to enter the line for each individual having a picture. HTML is not really my thing. With much help from this group, I have several sites posted on the web.
