I'd like to add my voice to those looking for a good genealogy module for XOOPS. I've hacked and stretched and patched Geneweb til it won't go any further. GW simply falls far short of the features I need. I corresponded with one of the co-authors of GW who invited me to learn OCaml. Thanks, but no thanks...that's a perfectly vile language.
I have the start of one, but it uses the IBM UniVerse database system - a natural for handling tree data. If I don't find any joy in Google today I'll set about RTFM'ing the XOOPS module HOWTO in order to port my UniVerse db client connector to XOOPS. Apparently, there isn't a UniVerse database connector yet. Since I wrote that in standard PHP, it shouldn't be TOO hard (it's a bigole include).
Was really hoping to avoid the work to finish my genealogy program, though if anyone has found anything since the previous post. Porting out of GW won't be a BIG problem since I have the perso.txt file set up to deliver an XML file. (There doesn't seem to be any other way of getting data intact out of the thing.)
Waiting to hear any suggestions,
Bill
