Re: [LegacyUG] Testing Legacy Web Pages

2015-04-21 Thread Jay Wilpolt
Evert,  (re: Legacy Gedcoms imported to TNG)

I have a mod that is not yet publicly available that makes it easier for me
to import a gedcom with many media links, by 'forcing' the media into
collections based on folder names and structure.
Anything in the "Document" folder is a Document
anything in the "Census" folder is a Census
anything in the "Photo" folder is a Photo.

The collection Name must exactly match the folder name.
This way I do not have to "convert" the many media items into their proper
collections after a gedcom import.

It also has some other functions which need to be stripped out before it
would be useful to all.

Let me know if that would help you and we can email direct.

Hope that helps

Jay

RE: [LegacyUG] Testing Legacy Web Pages

2015-04-14 Thread John Lisle
Stuart,

You point out an import issue with TNG and
webtrees. The product source for both is
available for users to inspect and edit.

As a programmer, early on I made a number of mods
to TNG and soon discovered that I needed to spend
too much time each new update to TNG to
re-develop those mods for the new release.

A couple of years ago, TNG introduced something
they call the mod manager. This is a way to
create a mod and then have TNG install it. There
is now a large catalog of these mods available,
most of which need to be tweaked each time an
update is prepared. Some of these mods were
developed specifically to make it easier to
improve how Legacy Gedcoms are imported.

Does webtrees have a similar facility?

However, once you lock yourself into some of
these mods, you may find that you will need help
if the developer is no longer maintaining them.

john.

Hi Barton, John and other interested people

Happy to provide the link but I would like to make a couple of comments.

I am currently not using the latest version of webtrees. One of the reasons for 
this is that I have made some minor modifications to the underlying PHP code 
and for me to upgrade requires a little work on my part. I host the site on my 
own web server which is located under my desk in my home and apart from some 
minor problems (bugs) there is no pressure for me to upgrade. The link to my 
site is:

http://stuart.scss.dyndns.info/FamilyTree/

If you are seriously considering making your Legacy data available on-line, you 
should look at webtrees more closely. A number of the developers of webtrees 
offer hosting services (for a fee), but they all provide good support. The 
software is open source and therefore free. I would recommend that you have a 
look at the webtrees site here:

http://www.webtrees.net/index.php/en/

If you visit this site you will find links to various other sites using 
webtrees. There are different modules available, some of which radically change 
the look of the site, but the underlying software and data remains the same. 
That is, some of the developers have created their own CSS files to present the 
same information but in a different format.

Some final comments.  As has already been explained in an earlier post. Legacy 
creates static web pages and for me, this means thousands of files would need 
to be uploaded to the web server each time I need to update the web site. 
Webtrees allows me to enter data directly on my web site and that data is 
immediately available for everyone to see.

Comments regarding the chance of losing data when using TNG or webtrees is a 
valid comment. But both of these products provide safeguards. One safeguard is 
for you to implement a setting so that you, as administrator of the site, are 
the only person who can approve changes or additions to the data. There is no 
loss of value of having a search engine document your site. In fact tools are 
provided to enhance the search engine function.

Hope this is of value to you.

Stuart

2015-04-14 Thread BARTON LEWIS
John, in your statement,

"If you are using TNG or webtrees or some other tool with collaborative
ability, you could lose data and you might also lose the value of having
a search engine document your site."

do you means if you use TNG in conjunction with a cable company host
provider (subject of preceding objection), or if you use TNG, period.  I
assume the former, but am not sure.  If the latter, what is the best
alternative to using a tool with "collaborative ability?"  Are dynamic
web pages by definition ones with collaborative ability?  What does
collaborative ability mean, precisely? 

Thanks,

Barton

Re: [LegacyUG] Testing Legacy Web Pages

2015-04-14 Thread Jay Wilpolt
The problem with webtrees and its predecessor phpgedview, is that neither
of these programs break down a gedcom into data sets,
but rather leave it intact as whole and each action reads from the one file
and generates an answer,
thus it will get slower and slower as anything is added to it.

No one is ever going to come close to the response time seen in Legacy as a
desktop software. Especially when dealing with larger files.

TNG is the best option, but unfortunately its a one man operation, limited
to expansion and lacking in graphic appeal.
But its also the best at storing and manipulating any genealogy data.

Find what works best for you.

2015-04-14 Thread John Lisle
Barton,

Although WC and FS do not (easily) take media,
they are worthwhile as places to archive your
genealogy that also makes your research available to different audiences.

One of my issues with using Cable company for web
site (or email address) is that you might drop
your cable company and then lose your site. If
you are using TNG or webtrees or some other tool
with collaborative ability, you could lose data
and you might also lose the value of having a search engine document your site.

In general, Comcast and that ilk does not support
PHP and MySQL sites nor sites as large as you
will probably want, as soon as you start adding
media. :-) They may be restricted to various size
or bandwidth limits. (As an aside, some folks
have mentioned hosting services that offer
unlimited space and bandwidth. Every one of them
have other limits, usually CPU usage or the like
and tend to be quite cruel in deciding to kick
you off if you hit one of their hidden limits.

Look for a reputable hosting service that has 24/7 support.

RE: [LegacyUG] Testing Legacy Web Pages

2015-04-14 Thread John Lisle
Stuart,

Thank you for mentioning webtrees. I was aware of
it but have not investigated it.

One of my issues with phpGedview was that it did
not well handle large Gedcoms. After looking at
the site samples on their web site, I do not see
examples of large files. However, it does appear
to be far superior to phpGedview in most other ways.

I will need to give it more thought as an
alternative to TNG. The TNG license cost is not a
factor in contrast to the cost of hosting service
and domain name that would be common to both TNG or webtrees.

Another web site solution that I did not mention
is www.gigatrees.com. That site has some tools
for Gedcom analysis that are useful to assuring
that your data is not "bonkers". They also have
an ability to create from your Gedcom a set of
static pages for a web site that is more
interactive than the Legacy pages. I find that is
useful when researching a large new family branch
as I can quickly go from Legacy to a private web site to review the data.

john.

John, thank you for the informative background.  I think I would not

display media.  So I have been viewing the web page links at TNG and
think that's the way I want to go.  My only concern is that by using my
cable compnay as my website host I may run into problems if there is
some kind of incompatability with using TNG -- but I don't know if
that's an issue.  I guess if it could be, I will only find out by trying
it.  And if it does prove to be an issue, I could take my domain
somewhere else to be hosted.  Does all of this sound
reasonable/accurate?

For Barton, John and others interested,

The open source PHPGedview has not been actively supported for a number of 
years since the main developer and a lot of others moved to create webtrees. I 
would definitely not recommend using PHPGedview. Webtrees is open source and 
therefore free, unlike TNG (The Next Generation). I have been a user of Legacy 
and webtrees for many years and PHPGedview for several years prior to moving to 
webtrees.

For many years my webtrees site has been my prime database and I occasionally 
export a Gedcom from my site and create a new Legacy .fdb file so as to create 
reports that aren't available using webtrees. Although I back up my MySQL 
database every night, creating a new Legacy .fdb is another form of backup.

Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Testing Legacy Web Pages

Barton,

Two basic types of family tree sites exist: static pages and dynamic pages.

Static pages means you create all of the pages you wish to upload to whatever 
hosting service you wish to use. After you create the pages on your PC; you 
then have to upload all of the pages by FTP (or some similar tool) to your 
hosting service. You may wish to create some pages as home pages to tell your 
story. The disadvantage of this technique is that it does not scale well.
As the size of your family file gets bigger, you have more and more pages. 
Further, many of them will be small and, as a result, consume large amounts of 
hosting space.

In the late 1990s, a program was created called IGM by Randy Winch. The idea 
behind IGM was that you uploaded your Gedcom file to your hosting service along 
with the IGM software and had IGM process your Gedcom and allow you to have IGM 
create your web pages dynamically as visitors requested them. Randy enhanced 
IGM for RootsWeb and that is what RootsWeb's WorldConnect service is using.

In the early 2000s, two software products were created to take the IGM 
experience to a higher level. They have the limitation that the hosting service 
has to support php scripting MySQL databases that not all "free" or cable 
company hosting provides. They also expect the user to have, or have access to, 
some basic webmastering skills. Both require a quality hosting service and for 
you to acquire a domain name for your site.

One is the OpenSource product phpGedView. This has the advantage that it is 
free. It is also slow.

The other is the commercial product TNG. License cost is minor, and based on 
personal experience, the visitor experience is far superior and the 
customization tools provided by the vendor are effective and fairly easy to 
use. Further, it is the closest in data model to Legacy. Not identical, but 
most of your Legacy data can be imported into TNG and used as you would expect, 
including media and mapping.

In many respects, all of the cloud based genealogy programs, including Ancestry 
Trees, are derivative of these ideas.

To understand any of these dynamic solutions, think of them like you think of 
importing a Gedcom into Legacy. You import the Gedcom and 
Legacy/TNG/WorldConnect/etc. load your data from the Gedcom, as best as they 
can, into the programs database so that you can explore, and in some cases like 
TNG, edit your data using the program as a genealogy program.

--> I have at times edited my TNG family file
directly when a visitor pointed out a problem that needed immediate correction; 
however, normally, for me, corrections come when I update a new Gedcom as 
Legacy files are always my master file.

Last year, I was part of a team of members of the Guild of One Name Studies who 
looked at these solutions. The Guild has decided to pilot a program where 
members can get hosting space with the Guild for a web site that after paying 
for it while living will be retained after the member "retires" as a means of 
providing that members'
research is not lost and continues to be available. The selected tool for 
dynamic web sites is TNG.

BTW, one of the issues with any web site is how it plays with the various 
search bots. The Chicago company SimplyHosting is considered to be so TNG 
friendly that they have TNG specific hosting packages that cost under $5 a 
month, and they will even install the TNG software for you.
(I have no financial interest in any of these
vendors.) I use their services after having issues with other services.

--> if you want easy places to preserve your data
for no cost, I would suggest WorldConnect or FamilySearch (their community 
trees are based on limited version of TNG). Both have limitations on what can 
be displayed and what, if any, media items you can attach to your tree.

Questions?

Re: [LegacyUG] Testing Legacy Web Pages

2015-04-13 Thread John Lisle
Barton,

Two basic types of family tree sites exist: static pages and dynamic pages.

Static pages means you create all of the pages
you wish to upload to whatever hosting service
you wish to use. After you create the pages on
your PC; you then have to upload all of the pages
by FTP (or some similar tool) to your hosting
service. You may wish to create some pages as
home pages to tell your story. The disadvantage
of this technique is that it does not scale well.
As the size of your family file gets bigger, you
have more and more pages. Further, many of them
will be small and, as a result, consume large amounts of hosting space.

In the late 1990s, a program was created called
IGM by Randy Winch. The idea behind IGM was that
you uploaded your Gedcom file to your hosting
service along with the IGM software and had IGM
process your Gedcom and allow you to have IGM
create your web pages dynamically as visitors
requested them. Randy enhanced IGM for RootsWeb
and that is what RootsWeb's WorldConnect service is using.

In the early 2000s, two software products were
created to take the IGM experience to a higher
level. They have the limitation that the hosting
service has to support php scripting MySQL
databases that not all "free" or cable company
hosting provides. They also expect the user to
have, or have access to, some basic webmastering
skills. Both require a quality hosting service
and for you to acquire a domain name for your site.

One is the OpenSource product phpGedView. This
has the advantage that it is free. It is also slow.

The other is the commercial product TNG. License

the visitor experience is far superior and the

Legacy support,

At this web page:
http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/LegacyLists.asp
why don't you add a comment near the SUBSCRIBE area (maybe inside the
blue box at the bottom of the blue box):

The comment would read something like:


If you subscribe but do not begin receiving e-mails within 5 days,
please e-mail
supp...@legacyfamilytree.com
for assistance in subscribing.
Please give the system 5 days before you e-mail us.
Thank you


Or something like that.  5 days may be too long - the point is to give
them an alternate method of subscribing if the main method fails.  Yea,
I realize you may get impatient folks that do both at the same time, but
hopefully most folks will give the main method a reasonable length of
time first.  This may reduce some of the frustration that some folks
have when the regular subscription process fails.

Thanks for offering this FREE forum for us users to discuss Legacy! We
greatly appreciate it.

Bob

You need to contact Legacy support. Lately, the list has been capriciously 
deleting long-time members, so it's not just new members who are having the 
problem. As one poster said:

"Unfortunately this is a longstanding problem which Millennium is unable to 
fix, and they have just decided to live with it evidently. You will need to 
contact tech support whenever this happens."

Hi Marcus,

The list has been quite active today - have you received any posts? Have
you checked your spam folder?

How long have you been subscribed - have you received anything from the
list since you joined it?  the only post I've seen from this address of
yours was almost three years ago, so perhaps you left and came back just
recently?

In any case, if you're not receiving the posts you should contact Legacy
Support for assistance.  I don't need to know the answers to the
questions you've asked - they're for you to think about, and maybe tell
Support the details when/if you contact them.

A copy of this email is going directly to Marcus to ensure he sees it.

Kind Regards,
Wendy

Your email came through to the group.  There has been plenty of activity on the 
group the past week.



I guess you’ll need to contact support (supp...@legacyfamilytree.com).  Don’t 
know if the reset function they use will work in your case.  That usually 
solves the problem for new users whose accounts don’t get started properly.  
Yours is first I’ve heard of where an active account has just stopped working.

Steve, I have started receiving emails from the LUG; hopefully by now,
you are as well. Wanted to respond so you know your message got
through.

I am in correspondence with Collene through our Support system about
this issue so there's no need for a string of messages that her

Re: [LegacyUG] TESTING IGNORE

It's implied.  I'm beginning to think that no one reads them anyway!

"2. Stay on the topic of Legacy and its add-on programs, which is the
sole purpose of the LUG User Group."



If anyone has problems with the LUG list, please contact
supp...@legacyfamilytree.com and we'll help you troubleshoot.

Do not continue to send test messages to the list. That's very
inconsiderate of the other listers.

Millennia:

I think a new etiquette rule needs to be added regarding "test"
messages.

John:

Instead of sending "test" messages to the list, just send a real reply
or question to the list. If you don't get your message back and you
don't see it in the archives after 5-6 hours, kindly send an email to
support and ask for their help.

No, it's not! Looking at the message source, you've got a text part and
an html part.
