Re: [LegacyUG] Web pages for locations
Tony, The Gedcom is only used to build the tables for the database. Then you can delete the gedcom from your site. You can configure the site to not allow gedcoms. Russ -Original Message- From: Tony Rolfe Sent: Thursday, April 26, 2012 8:02 PM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: [LegacyUG] Web pages for locations I looked at TNG some time ago, but I have one serious problem with it. I will not put my GedCOM file on the net again. There have been two cases where folk have downloaded my Gedcom and posted it on their own site (one as their tree on Ancestry and one on another site). In both cases they didn't bother changing anything, so I am still person #1, my wife #2 etc. Makes it pretty obvious what happened. Neither has had the courtesy to credit me with the work.

Re: [LegacyUG] Web pages for locations
Okay, got it. Good luck. You are describing an entirely new and quite sophisticated program. I doubt, given the manner in which Legacy stores and structures its data, that it could work with an existing family file. It might be done, but would require a huge amount of additional manual work to populate and format the basic pages. Not a chance it could be done within Legacy -- it can't handle a simple internal hyperlink to another individual and that's been asked for since version 2.

[LegacyUG] Web pages for locations
It's easier to visualise what I want than to describe it, but... There are three parts. 1. Each location should have its own web page giving a) The co-ordinates, so you can link to the mapping program, b) A list of everyone who uses that location and how they use it, hyperlinked to the person's page c) Notes about that location taken from the Location notes d) Optionally, pictures for that location e) If this location also has sub-entries, these should listed as hyperlinks. 2. Each reference to a location in the main report should be a hyperlink to that location's page. So, if if John Smith's web page says he was born in Sutton, Surrey, England, then that should be a hyperlink to the "Sutton, Surrey, England" web page. 3. There should be an index to locations. Rather than a continuous stream of location names, the first page should be a list of countries. Each of these would be a hyperlink to the second-level (State) entries for that country. Each of these would be a hyperlink to the third-level (County) entries for that "State" and so on, until you get to an actual Location. Let's assume there is a location entry for Marion County, Ohio, United States, because you don't have the town name for some event. There are also entries for a number of towns or cities in Marion county. (I don't know if there is a Marion County, Ohio - this is just an example) Then you would have a main page for Marion county and one main page for each town or city. The county page would have the information for the county, plus hyperlinks to each town or city. Each Town or city page would have the info for that town, plus hyperlinks to any sub-entries for that town if, like me, you go beyond 4 levels. So, each page is both an information page and an index page to the immediately lower level entries. The Level-zero index would have a hyperlinked entry for United States (and for all other Countries). There would be a level-one index page for United States which would have hyper-linked entries for each state (including Ohio). The Ohio entry would have the info for Ohio, plus hyperlinks to all counties in Ohio (including Marion). I hope that makes it clear Thanks Tony Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).

Re: [LegacyUG] Web pages for locations
I am afraid I do not understand what you want. An index of all locations, with a step down to all instances when it is mentioned? I have a basic version of silversmiths sorted by location, based on their working and partnership events: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~silversmiths/makers/SmithsByState_mod.htm Is this what you were thinking of? If so, it can be done with LTools, Excel, and a good text editor. You will also need a good knowledge of html coding and several days free time. And this is for a simple segment of the whole file based on a selective criteria. To do the whole file for all in\stances would be a daunting task. Ron may be right that this would be better achieved by TNG or somesuch. I don't know, as I find such programs a frustrating and unfulfiling dance.

Tony, Not to my knowledge, you need to use a GEDCOM, and from the mapping point of view I think the TNG is probably the best.
