Notes |
Purpose of the mod
This mod makes the Family tab stay active after selection, and navigating family pages is done in the innermenu (like ancestors or descendants pages).
If the subject Person has no family (is not "married"), the family pages pertains to the parents.
If the subject Person has more than one family, the first one is selected.
When family pages are browsed, the Suggest/Edit tab pertains to the Family while the subject Person is kept for the other tabs.
What you sacrifice
When you browse a familygroup.php page there may be shortcuts to Media, Notes, Sources in the innermenu:
Those shortcuts are not present when this mod is installed.
Visualization of this mod
This mod makes the TNG tab collection consistent with other tab collections:
Clicking the original Family tab in TNG
and DANG! This happens:
ALL your tabs are gone - and are replaced by others!
A sidenote: The order of the Family Chart and Group Sheet tabs are reversed compared to the links at getperson.php:
This mod corrects that, see below. (Nit-picking - I know ;)
After mod install, this is the result of clicking the Family tab:
All tabs are at their proper places and the familychart.php is opened (optionally familygroup.php).
The familygroup.php and familychart.php (and Maternal/Paternal Lines mod) pages are selected in the innermenu.
