[LegacyUG] Legacy Export / Source

[Arnold Sprague]

When I do a Legacy Export to make a GEDCOM file to put on my website,
the name of the source that appears on the website is what I had
entered in the "Source List Name (name to display in master source
list)." What I would like to appear, instead, is what I entered in
"Title." The rub is that what I entered in "Source List Name (name to
display in mater source list)" is for my own use and makes no sense
when it appears on my website.
Before I submit a suggestion on this matter, is there an overlooked
way for me to "customize" the source when I do an Export?
Thank you.

There is a mailing list for a users group of programmer/developers, so if
anyone is interested in discussing genealogy software (not just Legacy, but
any) it might be worth joining to share ideas on developing new software for
genealogists, and enhancing existing software. .

Peggy
Clemens Lauritzen, AG, was involved in genealogy before she was even born.
The daughter of avid genealogists, she was spending time in courthouses and
cemeteries while other children were playing on swings and going to the
beach. The love of her family’s history has never left her. With her
experience as a former Family History Director, she is a frequent speaker
at genealogical societies, workshops, seminars, and webinars where she
loves bringing genealogy to life. Some of those would include The Ohio
Genealogical Society, The Ohio State University, Brigham Young University,
and many other state and local genealogy societies. She has recently
completed several Legacy QuickGuides on Appalachia, which are also
available on www.legacyfamilytree.com and www.amazon.com.

RE: [LegacyUG] Mods / Utilities for Legacy

[Don Quigley]

Thanks for your reply, Brian.  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.

There is no Millennia supported sites or tools of the sort you seem to be 
looking for (I looked at the forum you included in you message). 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.

RE: [LegacyUG] Legacy Export / Source

[Jennifer Crockett]

Hi Arnold

You don't say what you are using to generate your web pages.
If it is TNG, there is a mod you can install there called "Sources and 
Citations" that will do what you require.

Jennifer

Re: [LegacyUG] Mods / Utilities for Legacy

[Gerald E Boor]

Totally agree with you, Don, about a users' group of programmers/developers 
that could contribute to the Legacy software without any jeopardy to the 
company's propriety or profits.

If anyone ever messed up their database because of L-Tools, it was their own 
fault because Dennis always stressed a backup before doing anything. Too bad 
Legacy just didn't hire Dennis. His ideas were excellent and he saved me many 
hours with his excellent knowledge of SQL and Microsoft Access, things that 
Legacy itself often could not fix.  Jerry Boor, MerriamFamilyTree.org

Re: [LegacyUG] Mods / Utilities for Legacy

[BobsTree2-Gmail]

I have used Families on my Android and am very happy with it.  It converts 
Legacy to SQL.  Microsoft Access works directly with Legacy files, and Access 
can also read SQL from Families.  Access has excellent tools for creating many 
types of reports.  And all queries and reports can be saved for future 
use/modification.  BUT, you must have a good foundation in understanding 
databases to maximize its use, and the product is not inexpensive.  But many 
users of Office Professional already have Access and don't use it.

I have used Access for years, so I can speak of its abilities.  But I suspect 
there are other SQL products, less expensive, could also generate many good 
reports.  Use Families toconvert to SQL, then use SQL tools to generate your 
reports.
