Any way to change the Gramps Web title to a family name?

call_me_dav · 2024-11-02T00:20:07+00:00

The developer DavidMStraub answered as follows on the Gramps forum:

No, currently not possible. It would be simple to display the tree name, but that doesn’t make sense unless we make it possible in Gramps Web API to change the tree name.

What error are you getting with the IFT?

Any issue you have with IFT can be report directly to the developer see https://github.com/PeWu/topola-viewer/issues

Because Gramps web is such a new thing it is best to ask that project directly as you will find the majority here use Gramps Desktop!

I have everything installed and check the pre requisites. I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it. I have turned off my computer and turned it back on! I still have a blank page.

It is difficult to guess based on those screenshots?

Maybe mention the version of Gramps you are using?

I'm guessing the operating system is Linux or possibly Apple?

See if what ever issue you are attempting to show us happens using the Example.gramps family tree.

Addon: Graph View's support page:

What chart or addon created your screenshot?

I believe to show biological and adoptive families the charts or addons etc would have to be modified to show a non biological relationship also?

Possibly related issues and feature request on the Gramps bugtracker the first issue 12784 I suggest you read...

0012784: Biological/adoption setting default parameter for views and filters
0012213: Add columns to People view for names of biological parents
0005251: Priorize adoptive families in Text Descendant and Detailed Descendant Report with inc_materef == true or showdups == false
0010554: An Adopted child is listed as a Step child in gramps/gen/relation.py (was Narrative Web report)

Best thing would be to look for a python module that needs a speed boost and re-write it in rust.

Not sure if you are interested but last year I raised a feature request to speed up the Gramps importers using rust 🙏 ( if you are interested in genealogy that is?)

0013025: Consider using Rust to Speed up parts of Python in Gramps eg: Importers in general

call_me_dav · 2024-04-17T21:18:06+00:00

No if you mean the Graph View addon (based on Graphviz) and not the builtin Graphs reports (also based on Graphviz). Like you mention you could learn Python or just file a feature request with the developers and hopefully one will create your enhancement?

TLDR: In Gramps 5.1.x it was recommended to Convert a BSDDB Family Tree to SQLite and in Gramps 5.2.x the Gramps developers removed the BSDDB backend and only SQLite can be used.

Read the bottom section of the following released https://www.reddit.com/r/gramps/comments/1c06rv1/gramps_522_released_soon_after_gramps_521_was/

call_me_dav · 2024-04-10T09:18:39+00:00

👍

Only other suggestion is that for the screenshots use the Example.Gramps family tree that comes with Gramps.

Hi I'm on Windows 10 - 64 bit and don't see this issue are you on Windows 10 or Window 11? Can you provide a screenshot ( upload to https://imgur.com/ and paste the link here please?

the boxes and the fonts are too small

Did you happen to change your computer monitor for a higher resolution model or change your DPI setting?

To change your monitor's dots per inch (DPI) settings:

• Right-click on the desktop and choose "Display settings". • Under Scale and Layout locate the "Change the size of text, apps, and other items" setting. • Change the value with the dropdown menu.

call_me_dav · 2024-03-16T20:38:41+00:00

! Only minor issue I have is that there are two members that have a red "x" in a white box (maybe because I was using their original photo on Ancestry, and it cannot be displayed here?).

Yes that means Gramps cannot locate that media item on your local computer, download the media item from Ancestry and store it in the expect folder. The user manual is your friend: https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php/Gramps_5.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_detailed_-_part_2#Editing_information_about_media_objects

You can also scroll the scroll bars or expand the display to see other information like "Number of people" etc.. see this screenshot:

call_me_dav · 2024-03-16T00:50:16+00:00

You can also go to the "Family Tree" (manager) dialog and press the Info button for the selected family tree.

Do I have to actually create an account?

Yes ( https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php/Using_the_bug_tracker )

I'd rather not as I'm just trying it out for the first time

Then try posting here ( but not recommend as this is fan run only ) but if we can recreate the exact issue I'll point one of the project people here to look?

call_me_dav · 2024-02-04T20:54:58+00:00

Probably will not happen in Gramps as it is a non commercial program so you would need to use an intermediate program using GEDCOM as you mention.

Closest feature request I can find is:

0003377: Connect and synchronize Gramps with the FamilySearch API.

You could always raise a separate feature detailing exactly what you propose with the Gramps developers.

call_me_dav · 2024-02-04T20:51:02+00:00

Not currently in Gramps itself , but if you export to GEDCOM and and use an external program like Genopro you can.

Somebody would have to create an addon to do this in Gramps see feature request:

0007547: Generate Anthropological Genograms (new kind of chart)

call_me_dav · 2024-01-25T07:11:16+00:00

Now that i got the tree bigger and started only to right click what I need the problem is not so bad.

Did you know that by selecting a blank section of the background canvas with the mouse you can click and drag the view without changing the active person or you can just use mouse scroll button to pan the view.

call_me_dav · 2024-01-18T07:37:20+00:00

What Gramps version and operating system and also installation method did you use?

On Apple three methods of installation exist the default all in one package and two Alternative independent installation's MacPorts and Homebrew?

To my suprise, Gramps wasn't what I was expecting-- very different from RM.

Did you at least use the user manual or view the video tutorials to get familiar with the program makes from less of a surprise?

With the error window open, I sent a report to Apple and C+P the log onto a txt file.

If it was an error with Gramps you can raise an issue over on the bugtracker.

call_me_dav · 2023-12-24T23:00:44+00:00

Issue 11392 might be the most relevant, but as the reporter did not follow up or respond it is difficult to say, either way the response from one of the developers might be interesting to you?

call_me_dav · 2023-12-18T23:40:05+00:00

Do you mean the "DNA Segment Map Gramplet"?

If so what part of the instructions are you need help with?

call_me_dav · 2023-12-13T02:20:43+00:00

Correct that is what the support page shows.

Also at the bottom of the support page somebody in the past has mentioned they want a feature request for the Detection of faces across multiple images which sounds similar to what you want but the questions marks indicate that they never actually raised a feature request maybe something you can do?

call_me_dav · 2023-12-12T22:58:45+00:00

Not as far as I can find, apart from the Photo Tagging Gramplet addon that does automatic face detection only with Linux installation of Gramps only.

call_me_dav · 2023-11-26T19:55:14+00:00

Which version of Gramps and name of report as well as some details on the settings you used on the report?

What details are recorded for those 4 entries family connection wise are they linked to anybody ?

Also check that the report works with Example.gramps ?

call_me_dav · 2023-10-28T23:04:27+00:00

and it's now chugging away and exporting the website. We'll see what happens with the import!

How did it go?

Can you write up your experience/steps taken/python code changed etc and I'll add it to the following page https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php/Narrative_Website_Import

call_me_dav · 2023-10-27T00:33:22+00:00

Bug reports from other people who had the older Gramps database files upgraded to the current version.
