I would like to ask if anyone is interested in creating some sort of integration module for TNG.

TNG=The Next Generation of Genealogical Site Building
http://lythgoes.net/genealogy/software.php

It is by far, the very best online genealogy sitebuilding tool on the market today. It costs money for the application but it's a small amount and I'd be willing to pay for a license in order to help get this built. There is already a Postnuke convertor available but it's mostly a wrapper. I'm not asking for full integration, just a way to wrap it into my XOOPS site and allow all registered members to automatically become registered users of TNG.

If someone is interested, please can you give me an idea of how much something like this would cost? You can send me a PM if you wish or post it here. I am very interested in this type of project and if I can't get help here, I will try on one of the Rent a Coder types of sites.

This idea has been posted here before with no real outcome but this time I am willing to pay someone to help me. Thanks for any comments or suggestions.

The ability to create a PDF file from a post in NewBB is an excellent feature! I may have not searched properly but I am wondering is it possible to create a PDF from an entire topic. I believe that currently you can only create a PDF from each individual post while I would like the ability to create a PDF that would include all of the posts from a single topic. Am I missing something somewhere? Thanks in advanced for any advice or constructive comments. :)

Don't have much time right now but wanted to give you the link to WHMAP. It is a little expensive but SO well worth it.

I'll reply back later in regards to your other comments.

Except for the domain name reselling (which I am still working on) and the short urls (which I'm not too worried about right now), I am using XOOPS for a similar site. It does take a lot of work to get it to do what you want but once get the hang of the layout, code, etc., you can pretty much do anything you want. You really have to have a good idea of what you are wanting to do prior to starting though. At least it helps.

You can visit my site but just know that it is BY FAR not finished.http://walkernetwork.com

You can see how I have used blocks to display my hosting plans, I have used the tiny content duplicatable module to add my content. I was even able to hack a little to make my hosting signup script (WHM AutoPilot) flow with my template. There aren't a lot of hosting templates for XOOPS which is why I am using the current one. You'd be better off creating your own though so that way you don't have the same looking site as someone else like I do now.

Good luck and keep us updated on your progress. I know I for one am always interested in seeing how people manage to utilize a CMS to fit their needs.

I will second what Herko said. That does make it look differently. I apologize for my hasty reaction but you have to understand how more often than not, these things really are just spam.

Looking at the source, it is NOT xoops, therefore this post should be labeled..

!!SPAM!!

Towards the bottom of the features page, you can see that yes, you can change information. One of the things I like about phpGedView is that you can have multiple gedcoms. So if you are working on something and you find a branch but aren't sure if it's related to one you're already working on, you can have it separate but still workable. Here's a quote from the features page regagarding the online editing.

Another free genealogy script which is really super is phpGedView which has already been hacked to work with Postnuke from Cas over as nuy.info

I am using this particular module on a private family site and it's one of the main reasons why I'm still using PN over XOOPS on this particular site.

I was having the same problem setaside and this is how I managed to fix it:

In file view.php around line 50:

Find:



and delete the entire block of code.

Now, I am NOT a coder, and I have no idea if this is a needed block of code for something or not, but deleting this has made my module work just fine. So far, no other errors unless I turn PHPdebug on and then that's a whole 'nother issue.

Everyone is always out to get something free. We happily walk around downloading mods here and there using them for our own benefit. Yes, sometimes people give donations to the creators but let's face it, not very often. I do it all the time, downloading mods and not thinking twice about the work and effort that was put in creating it. This type of module is something that could be used by families for genealogy research and I think would be a great benefit to the XOOPS community. I think it would be great to have someone port it.

Having said that, I agree, it will be hard to get someone to port a pay module. However, if given the choice between Geneweb and TNG, I would whole-heartedly have to choose TNG. I mean come on, compare the two and it's like comparing the Motel 6 to the Tropicana...they both serve basically the same purpose but which one would you rather stay in? I have already paid for it (it really isn't that expensive...like $20 or so) and I, like others, don't use it because I have become more and more excited about using XOOPS and there's just really no good way to integrate it yet.

I would gladly support the creation of the module with any testing purposes (as like many, I am not a coder yet) and maybe even a very small donation...trust me, small, I am poor lately... :)
