Re: Add images to Addresses

Post by Huub »

Hi,

The best thing to do is check the photo's by (extended/ shared) sources and use the same system.

There is quit a lot of code needed in multiple scripts if you add all the functions:
- Gedcom reading
- Show pictures by address
- Editing of pictures by a address
- Gedcom export

There is another problem: at this moment there are 2 adress systems in HuMo-gen: standard addresses and extended/ shared addresses.
This is also done by sources...
This is done because some genealogical programs don't support the shared sources and addresses :evil:

At this moment it's only possible to add photo's by a shared source.

So it depends what you want to do... I do think it's possible to add photo's by a shared address. BUT: shared addresses are only supported by the dutch Haza-Data program! Other programs will NOT recognize the code in the gedcom export of HuMo-gen, because it's not official gedcom language.

If you want to add photo's by standard addresses, then there are no standard functions to use in HuMo-gen. You have to adjust these functions.

It's probably the best to combine standard addresses/ shared addresses (and also sources) in one screen/ function. But there are a lot of problems to solve...

All these problems are related to the very poor gedcom standard. It just doesn't support shared addresses...
HuMo-genealogy update? Backup your database! Editing in HuMo-genealogy? Backup your data!
Make multiple backups with: PHPMyAdmin, gedcom export and database export.
