Will do comments and review sometime next week. Thanks

Ed, actually the point of my exercise was to change the other transform –.xsl files to get different presentation forms.

don’t waste any more time on this as we now have a workable solution

however if you have some idle time :=) it would be nice if the shortcode rootspersonaindex could be similarly redirected

you asked for comments on the user guide/faq on your website do you want comments here on in a new topic or as comment on your website?

Ed, Further to the above note just to confirm the xsl attribute works with the other shortcodes :=)

[rootsPersona  personId='i1' /]
<hr/>
[rootsPersona personId='i1' xsl='/home/gmcbber0/public_html/chertop/wp-content/plugins/rootspersona/xsl/transformPerson2Pagex.xsl' /]
<hr/>
[rootsPersonaFamilyC  personId='i1' /]
<hr/>
[rootsPersonaFamilyC  personId='i1' xsl='/home/gmcbber0/public_html/chertop/wp-content/plugins/rootspersona/xsl/transformPerson2Pagex.xsl' /]
<hr/>

results in Example of alternative panels

Ed, It works if I put my alternative xsl in the rootsPersona xsl folder with different names and use an absolute path in the shortcode such as

[rootsPersona personId='i1' xsl='/home/gmcbber0/public_html/chertop/wp-content/plugins/rootspersona/xsl/transformPerson2Pagex.xsl' /]

This is fine as i can keep my alternate .xsl in a folder on my desktop and whenever you update the plugin I just reload the alternate files as well

Thanks for all your good work. Regards, Chris

Ed, I have tried various combinations with no luck yet — always fouls up in personUtilty.php

my alternate xsl is in wp-content/myxsl/

so what would you recommend trying as the xsl parameter??

[rootsPersona personId='i2' xsl='../myxsl/'/]

or do I need to add the file name as well

[rootsPersona personId='i2' xsl='../myxsl/transformPerson2Page.xsl'/]

I have never been very good at relative addresses :=(

Regards, Chris

Ed, Thanks!!

Ed, rootsPersonaFamilyS personId=’i2′ gives the same result as rootsPersonaFamilyC personId=’i2′ :=(

By the way if an xsl attribute is used for rootsPersona shortcode will the full url also be used for the imports

<xsl:import href="./transformFamilyGroup.xsl" />
<xsl:import href="./transformAncestors.xsl" />
<xsl:import href="./transformPictures.xsl" />
<xsl:import href="./transformFacts.xsl" />

Regards, Chris

Thanks Ed, a great way to approach it!! I presume you mean something like

[rootsPersona personId=’i2′ xsl=’https://www.xxx.org/myxsl/name.xsl’%5D

Ed, you took the words out of my mouth!! I was thinking that I need to have more people in my tree and THEN decide what presentation works the best!! I am now going to experiment with using your shortcodes and put them in collapsible sections in a page/post to see how that looks. I prefer not to modify a plugin. Regards, Chris

Ed, are there separate shortcodes for the spouse family and childfamily panels?

Ed, actually there is another assignment :=) I have been playing around modifying the family group xsl to get a simple presentation such as Sample Page I have not finished the formatting yet but want just a simple set of links to parents, siblings and children on each persona page. I am creating a website which will be mostly family stories and photos rather than a data abundant traditional genealogical site. Obviously to do what I have experimented with I have “destroyed” the original .xls.

So I am wondering what would be the best approach to allowing a user to have 1 or 2 of their own designed panels which would not get wiped out with an update release of your plugin.

The different panels that I would like are the above referenced simple links and also a chart presentation such as comes out of GEDMILL (an no longer supported C program) I have embedded an example in the page linked above.

Also, are the new additional links Edit Person Exclude Person Delete Person Make Person Private hideable?

I will look at your new documentation shortly.

Regards, Chris

Ed, The radio button for “hide evidence” will not take a “yes” this is due to the fact that (at least) in the copy of the latest version of rootsPersona the register-setting for rootsHideEvidence is missing from rootsPersona.php

Regards, Chris

Fantastic!!! thanks for all your good work!!

Regards, Chris

Ed, Are you still planning to add a panel for the children of the person to whom the personapage refers (see Maurits comment about 1 week ago)? If so when do you think it might be available. Regards, Chris

Excellent!! Thanks very much

As you know users are never fully satisfied :=) so if I want to “tweak” the output should I look anywhere else (in *.php) other than transformFamilyGroup.xsl and transformPerson2Page.xsl
