New Post: Umlaut display is NOT correct...

RsHRsH — Sat, 08 Oct 2011 09:12:26 GMT

My Gedcom has lots of names of individuals and locations in Germany with an unlaut in it. For example, M�unstermaifeld is the way Münstermaifeld is displayed after the file has been built. How do I get this to show up correctly? I suspect it has to be in the construction of the Gedcom itself, as I know that the umlauts can be displayed correctly.

Today I have downloaded and ran UncelGED and very much like what it does. And best of all, it is free. Thank you.

However, when I choose to have it save the output to a folder other than "My Documents/My UncleGED" it does not put all the needed files in the alternate folder. I have to copy everything from "My Documents/My UncleGED" to the alternate folder. Just a small step, but why have this option in the program, if it does not work correctly.

Also you need to have the program rebuild the "My Documents/My UncleGED" if it should get deleted. The UncelGED crashes if it does not find this folder on startup.

There is also a checkbox for having the menu at the top of the family pages. I can find no difference whether this box is checked or not.

It would be nice if attached images were included with the output.

I also ran into an issue in which a birth year is not defined for a person. When hitting the chronology page, everyone is clustered together in the 1300 block. Other than that, good job

I recentlly decided to remove my e-mail address from my UncleGed pages for two reasons

1) I didn't want to make it easy for robots etc to collect my e-mail address

2) Some webmail applications appear to have difficulty with the 'mailto' command

I modified the project to remove my e-mail address and then rebuilt the pages

When I checked the pages the Author's name had also disappeared

Is there any work round for this or do I need to manually edit each page (>150 !!) to remove the e-mail address

new user here. UncleGED seems to do all I want it to do with my gedcom file.

but we have some collateral info, other websites we would like to put links to.

Is there an easy way to do this without having to edit the html after the fact?

thanks.

New Post: Background of pages

The problem might be due to an entry in the CSS file. Just above the Images settings on the General tab are settings regarding the CSS file.

If you find and open up the CSS file with NotePad (or any text editor). You may see some entries in the body tag that reference the background image.

You can edit the entries regarding background or just comment them out. Here is an example with the entries commented out by surrounding the lines with /* */:

body
{
margin-left: 100px;
color: black;
font-family: tahoma;
/*background-attachment:fixed;*/
/* background-repeat: repeat;*/
/* background-image: url('images/ug_bkgrd.gif');*/
}

It is kind of screwy but the settings in the CSS file override the Image settings in the configuration file. Those settings are a leftover from the earlier versions that did not use the CSS file.

As to the last change date appearing on the index.html (home page), I will make that change in the next release which should be out today.

Hi, I have been trying to change the page background to see which looks best from several I have,. In the general / images whether the box is checked or not, and whether I put a different path or not the default ug-bkgrd.gif is displayed, the only way I have found is to manually rename the gif files in the image folder one by one so I can see how each looks , this also happened for the banner image, I had to manually rename my own banner image to ug_banner.gif. must be an easier way..

also, I recently asked whether the " last updated " could be not shown, and you replied that it was working ok, , I now realise that you were referring to the name index page, whereas I was referring to the index.html page {starting page} , is there a way of preventing this showing. ??

New Post: Problem if year missing from date

mguest — Fri, 17 Sep 2010 01:50:16 GMT

Not sure if anyone else has had this come up but I've found that if the year is missing from a date (ie only the day and month are known & entered), when the gedcom is converted UncleGed puts in the current year.

Here's a section of the .ged:

1 NAME Joyce /****/
1 SEX F
1 BIRT
2 DATE 30 NOV
1 FAMS @F355@
0 @I526@ INDI

and here's what it converts it to (I've put in *** for the last names as they're still alive):

Bradley *****, son of **** , was born 29 March 1958.
He married Joyce **** 19 May 1990.
Joyce **** was born November 2010.

Any ideas?

I have been using uncleged for a while, I use Family Tree Maker and MyHeritage family tree, when I create a ged file with either of these, and run uncleged, the notes do not show, but only the sources see this site. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~buttnerbaylyn/fam002.html the same information that is in sources is in notes, but only sources shows.

New Post: UncleGED not excluding individuals born less than ? years

I've been using UncleGED for years but I've never in the past used the option of excluding individuals who were born less than a set number of years before. Since I've had some complaints from distant cousins about their information (names only, I privatize before exporting in FTW) being available online, I decided this time to use this option. After I ran my GEDCOM through UncleGED I checked the pages it produced and NONE of the individuals born during the timeframe I chose had been excluded! Can anyone tell me why this is please?

I'm running UncleGED v.9.8.3389.36684 and Family Tree Maker 2006 (I do own the new version, but I had major problems with notes on exporting). Any help would be very much appreciated thanks!
