If you are not comfortable with html and php editing, this page may not be for you

Overview

This TNG modification deals with notes. It is a modification to the person pages so that notes that are marked "Private" will display for admin users.

Revision History

Requirements

1. A working TNG installation - see The Next Generation of Genealogy Sitebuilding
2. A backup of your TNG personlib.php files

Side effects

1. As with most source code modifications, these changes will likely be overwritten during your next TNG revision upgrade and will need to be re-implemented.
2. The TNG "Private" flag for notes will be overwritten during a GEDCOM import. This mod is most useful for those who use TNG as their only genealogy database program and do not use a desktop application with a GEDCOM import to TNG.

TNG Modifications V6.0.3

1. backup your existing TNG personlib.php file
2. open a copy of your personlib.php file
3. There are two sections to change, both within 30 lines of each other
   • locate the following code

 function getNotes( $persfamID, $flag ) {
 	global $notelinks_table, $xnotes_table, $tree, $eventtypes_table, $events_table, $text, $eventswithnotes;
 

• change to this (red sections are the differences)

 function getNotes( $persfamID, $flag ) {
 	global $allow_admin, $notelinks_table, $xnotes_table, $tree, $eventtypes_table, $events_table, $text, $eventswithnotes;
 

• and locate the following code

 $query = "SELECT display, $xnotes_table.note as note, $notelinks_table.eventID as eventID,$notelinks_table.xnoteID as xnoteID, $notelinks_table.ID as ID, noteID FROM $notelinks_table
 LEFT JOIN  $xnotes_table on $notelinks_table.xnoteID = $xnotes_table.ID AND $notelinks_table.gedcom = $xnotes_table.gedcom
 LEFT JOIN $events_table ON $notelinks_table.eventID = $events_table.eventID
 LEFT JOIN $eventtypes_table on $eventtypes_table.eventtypeID = $events_table.eventtypeID
 WHERE $notelinks_table.persfamID=\"$persfamID\" AND $notelinks_table.gedcom=\"$tree\" AND secret!=\"1\"
 ORDER BY ordernum, tag, eventdatetr, $notelinks_table.ID";
 

• change to this (red sections are the differences)

 if( $allow_admin == "1") {
 	$hidenotes = " ";
 }
 else {
 	$hidenotes = " AND secret !=\"1\" ";
 }
 
 $query = "SELECT display, $xnotes_table.note as note, $notelinks_table.eventID as eventID,$notelinks_table.xnoteID as xnoteID, $notelinks_table.ID as ID, noteID FROM $notelinks_table
 LEFT JOIN  $xnotes_table on $notelinks_table.xnoteID = $xnotes_table.ID AND $notelinks_table.gedcom = $xnotes_table.gedcom
 LEFT JOIN $events_table ON $notelinks_table.eventID = $events_table.eventID
 LEFT JOIN $eventtypes_table on $eventtypes_table.eventtypeID = $events_table.eventtypeID
 WHERE $notelinks_table.persfamID=\"$persfamID\" AND $notelinks_table.gedcom=\"$tree\" $hidenotes
 ORDER BY ordernum, tag, eventdatetr, $notelinks_table.ID";
 

• you can copy the bits of red text from above to paste into your file

4. close your personlib.php file and copy it to your base TNG directory
5. check it out

In the event of a problem with your TNG site and this mod
