World maps

I've created 6 maps that list the location data from TNG on a Google map. Before we start, a few points;

• If you have loads of locations, these pages will load rather slowly (on my set up 1,600 places will load in about 30 seconds)
• If you have a large number of places the maps will just be a 'red blob' of pins at the low zoom levels, however if you zoom out, it does show the locations rather nicely
• If you use Google Chrome the pages load rather quickly...

The six maps are (you can choose to use one or more on your site, you don't have to have all 6)

1. World Map - maps ALL places that have coordinates entered into the database
2. World Map Births - maps JUST the birth events that have coordinates entered into the database
3. World Map Marriages - maps JUST the marriages events that have coordinates entered into the database
4. World Map Deaths - maps JUST the death events that have coordinates entered into the database
5. World Map Census - maps JUST the census events that have coordinates entered into the database
6. World Map BMD - maps either/or Birth, Marriage, Death, Christening or Burial events in 50 year blocks.

If you find Map 1 is rather slow try using the other maps, as these show just subsets of your location/place data, and MAY therefore load quicker.

Maps 2,3 & 4 have date options so you can show all dates, 50 year blocks of dates or all events up to and including a date.

Map 5 allows you to filter the dates, but just has the census years that are in my tree, although a competent coder should be able to work out how to add additional census years.

All maps have instructions, commented in the PHP files themselves, on how to customise the pin icons, size and shadow effects, zoom levels and map center position etc.

Click here for the zip file containing the PHP files and associated icons.

Just unzip the file and then upload the contents to your TNG directory, then edit the PHP files as per the instructions within those files.

TNG Reports

The majority of these reports were downloaded off the web (somewhere that I've long since forgotten!). I've amended these reports in two ways; 1) a lot of the comments/column headings were in German and these have been removed or converted into English, 2) some of the reports didn't work if you had more than one Tree loaded into TNG, this has now been fixed on all reports, although on a couple I've had to hardcode the tree (either 01 or 02) as I couldn't get my head round the SQL!!

Click here to download.

To install into TNG: Change the file extension from .txt to .bak, then FTP to your TNG backup folder. Then do a restore of the reports table. THIS WILL OVERWRITE ANY EXISITING REPORTS THAT YOU HAVE.

Some of the reports (119 in total) include

• Star signs
• Twins & triplets
• Occupations
• Cause of death
• Missing data; e.g. dates, parents
• Frequency reports; birth, death etc
• Maintenance; faulty dates, recent changes, incomplete families
  

Media Counts

On my Willingale site I use this code to display a list & count of the various media in the tree.

Places

On my Willingale site I use this code to count the total places in the tree, and count those places that have coordinates.

RSS Feed

This is a RSS feed that lists the last 10 media items added to TNG.

First Names

These are 8 new pages which list all the first names in the tree, similar to the surnames page. The first set of 4 list first and second names, the second set of 4 list just the first name on its own. (See the Forenames & Forename links on the navigation bar to the left). Also includes details of the edits needed to the main text.php & search.php files. The TNGv8 version can be found HERE.
