It will add marriage/divorce dates to the family label, create multi-line custom tags, specifically aimed at use as the top display label for individuals.  The templates for these tags can be modified via Dictionary.xml. Note that although multi-line custom tags can be displayed as the top label for an individual, such tags cannot be modified within GenoPro.There is an option to mark as dead anyone over a specified age. Also a number of options aimed at recovering Gedcom data languishing in Custom Tags after a Gedcom import.

See the front of file toolkit.js to see documentation on options or see the options selection form below.

To install unpack the attached zip into a folder named 'XML Toolkit' under your GenoPro 'skin' folder. It should then appear in the list of skins in the GenoPro Report Generator.

I have done limited testing but it has yet to be exposed 'in the wild' so use with caution. It produces a GenoPro compatible XML file with the changes in the specified Report folder. I recommend comparing the before an after XML files to check changes. First export your existing .gno file to an XML to serve as the reference. Run this utility and open the XML file produced with GenoPro. Check that it loads with no errors and visually verify the changes using GenoPro. Then export this new file as another new XML file (this will provide your data in the same format as your reference XML file). Then compare the reference XML file with this latter file with a utility such as WinMerge or WinDiff. (Google will find downloads for these if reqd). If you are happy with the changes you can then save the new XML file as a .gno file. Play safe a keep a backup of the original.

The offending line is here :-

strValue=Dic.Peek(strTag);

I have taken the opportunity to revise the code to add birth comments detailing the particular religious event if it does not match those catered for by GenoPro. e.g. Blessing, First Communion, Bar-Mitzvah etc..

I downloaded your new version of the js and replaced the one on the XMLtools skin with it but now get this error

The line in question is the following

if (strDate.length>3) strDate=strDate.substr(strDate.length-4);

I tried it again without trying to use the census or residence and occupations and it seems to have worked for the marriage lines and DOB s etc.

Toolkit.zip contains three files - Config.xml, Dictionary.xml and Toolkit.js. Unzip toolkit.zip and place all three files in the folder 'XML Toolkit' in your skins folder. The Options tab of GenoPro's Generate Report shows where GenoPro looks for skin folders.

Now I have downloaded the zip 3 with all three files in it and it worked perfectly. Thanks

One point, the old system allowed to show the choice of full dates above the marriage line instead of just the year.

Would it be possible to add this option ?

Looks like you have a CENS tag without a DATE subtag. I didn't allow for this, a Census entry without a date would not be of much use. Version 2.0.0.b3 has the fix anyway, also a fix to prevent an empty CENS tag being left.

I had done a second try without the census box ticked and it worked with zip 2. Now with zip 3 all work including the census box, so thanks again !

I don't think having the IETab extension in Firefox should prevent IE from loading separately. I have just installed IETab on my Firefox  and I can still run IE and XML Toolkit. If you cannot load IE standalone this may be part of the problem. 'SearchWinIT.com' gives the following suggestion:

It sounds like the ActiveX components for IE may have become unregistered. Try typing these commands from the command line, in this order: regsvr32 urlmon.dll regsvr32 shdocvw.dll regsvr32 mshtml.dll regsvr32 browseui.dll regsvr32 rsabase.dll Systems with the Microsoft Java VM present, type: regsvr32 msjava.dll

Apologies Iain, Appleshaw and others who may have downloaded 2.0.0.b2, it was incomplete.

I have added these to 2.0.0.b4 (arriving shortly). New templates are added to Dictionary.xml and are reasonably straightforward provided you know the GenoPro Report Generator SDK and XML tag structure.

I downloaded the new Toolkit and tried it with success but noticed that the dates come out as m. 8 AUG 1898 instead of m. 8 Aug 1898 as with the rest of the date formats.

I tried to see if I could change this but only managed to change the dropdown menu but the dates still came out in upper case as I don't understand the programming techniques. If this could be fixed the rest is perfect and as usual amazing.

 I had copied this from the 'Export to Gedcom' skin where uppercase month matches the Gedcom spec. I've now uploaded 2.0.0.b6 to fix it.

Thanks Ron, after I wrote my last message I had a good closer look at the Dictionary.xml and found the code lower down the page with the date formats, tried changing them and it worked ! I'm learning even though most of the code is as understandable to me as Chinese !

I will however use yours as who knows what damage I could do to the code in my ignorance!
