GenoPro Support Forum

Also, I was publishing to my own site and therefore had my own Google API. Now I can't get my site at Genpro not to complain about Google's API.The google API implementation is a bit nasty. How do I stop my google complain when I have blanked out the api and I din't know the code to enter.

Thanks anyone.

Each Google Map API key is specifc for a website - this is a requirement by Google and we have no control over that (Google did not ask our advice on this :Whistling.  Just use the API key provided by GenoPro, it is built-in to the report and you won't have to worry about it.  This is why we are offering free hosting at http://familytrees.genopro.com - to reduce the problems of hosting genealogy reports with all the challenges, from firewall issues to MIME types hosting and API keys.

This link does not work.  If you want http://familytrees.genopro.com/jonathon, feel free to change your username from 409215 to jonathon.

1. I want to show my direct relatives on one diagram and all the others on another.

(a) I can't just select the direct ancestors of my youngest son and add it to another diagram using internal links. It is far more complex than that.

(b) The layout on my main diagram has now become stupid and Genpro lays people over each other.

(c) If three people lived at a certain address it is tedious to add this information.

(d) Genpro sometimes loses my edits!!!!!

Re your standard answer on Google API

(e)   I KNOW that each web site has a different google API code. Two things tho'

It is really unclear where to put your own code - in the config file, at the time of publishing or in a custom tag. When you take it out it is not clear when you have successfully removed it.

So I have removed the code from the config, when publishing and out of my custom tags (all documented in this forum). When I publish to Web genpro I get an error. What is the right web site code for Genpro where can I get it. Why is this so trick?

(f) I have stopped using my own site because I had issues with the genomap viewer and genpro recommended it.

(g) Went through a stage where the product starting painting red with ftp issues. Ah hour later no problem....

BUT THE WORSE PROBLE IS... now I cannot seem to tell Genpro people are married to each other - who their parents are.

Basically the product (in the end has proved to be very flaky and I am now going to look for something that may be better).

Any help appreciated... or a refund? 

GenoPro has a toolbar button to select the ancestors.  Just click your son, then on the toolbar button Select Direct Ancestors () and copy & paste the family tree to another document.

The AutoArrange has limitations.  You have to do your family tree by manually positioning the individuals with the mouse.  It is not so hard, as you add new people, you click and drag the mouse to place the individuals where you want them to appear in the layout.

You can re-use the same address.  Click on the button Pick to select an existing address.  GenoPro also supports hierarchical places (a place within a place), so you can define a city, and then just type street addresses, or more detailed contact information at that address.

Please tell me how to reproduce it and I will investigate it.

Second, the answer to select someone then click an icon to select ancestors and then copy to a new no problem i can do that. I want to copy "links" not create new objects. Maybe this type of thing could be considered in the next release.

You didnt say how to get over my Google, API problem.

I noted today after a restart some of the buggy things stopped - as a matter of interest. 

I wish the program religiously stuck to windows conventions - like control click to add to select.

No chance of creating a slight simpler name for the url to our web sites?

Thanks for the help.

Also, google api - please help

Use the Google API key from the built-in report.

As stated, it appears as the default in the English Narrative Report

To setup an easier address, use your original web site and setup your 'index page' there as a redirection page to Genopro. The address used by Genopro is fairly simple, only an amalgamation of your user name and the folder you nominate, both of which are changeable by you, the user.

Stick with it Jonathon, hyperlinking to separate Genomaps is the best answer to all your other problems, and once done will make navigation of your database much simpler.

Poolzone  a mere cog in a revolution

This cannot be achieved in a single .gno file. Hyperlinks are limited to individuals not families and parent or child pedigree links should occur only once in the file. So if you were to create internal hyperlinks for each direct ancestor you could not show the pedigree links on the linked genomap.

A solution is perhaps to use a master - slave approach. Maintain data in your full tree and then after each major update, select your son's direct ancestors and copy and paste into a separate .gno file. Then when you produce reports etc. they do not interfere with each other. You can of course add 'external' hyperlinks to individuals pointing from your master .gno to a slave .gno and vice versa.
