Problem will be to put them on the GenoPro site - which will become possible when the ftp utility is implemented


There is a work around for this. Put the pdf file into the images folder or a subfolder of images and make your reference to this location. The file will be transferred to the familytrees.genopro.com site.

Every file from the skin will be copied to the output report (familytrees.genopro.com). For instance the javascript file is copied without any transformations.

Yes, you can add your files/images/pdf/attachments to the skin folder until the "ftp" client will be available.

because the links are there in the pane instead of having the pain of opening a new document!


That is what I thought. However do not be put off by the long list of instructions. They appear to be much more complicated than they really are because I tried to put all of the steps in - in case people wanting to try the idea have not come across any of the features.

To put your mind at rest you can not muck anything up as the main skins used by GenoPro are hidden from the likes of you & me.

Secondly you should not affect your GenoPro data as the changes are only in the Report Generator. I would, in any case, save the document with a different name as a back-up version - you never know when it might come in handy. I managed to delete a group of people from my working document and retrieved them from last month's back-up.

Finally of course you can check if it works by writing the report to disc. The links will still work there.

Give it a go! - that is if you think it is an improvement

Just been reading your post re adding extra pages to my document.  I hope you won't think I am ungrateful, but it just way too scary for me to do that - opening htm files and changing the script within them is a recipe for disaster for a novitiate like me.  I bit like putting a 17 year old at the wheel of a Porsche Carrerra.  Way too scary.

There is no danger.  If you screw up, you just have to delete your custom skin and try again.  The built-in skin named English Narrative Report is embedded inside executable GenoPro.exe, so there is no danger for anyone to accidentally modify it.

In the file Home.htm, changing

@[Report.WriteText doc.Description ]@
to
@[Report.Write doc.Description ]@
is the recommended way to insert HTML text.  In the future, GenoPro will support built-in HTML tags directly in a comment.    See Excluding comments from a report for better privacy for further details.

This hint was very useful, since I could limit the number of specialized skins.
Since I have to make an English and a separate German report from the same gno file, how can I select the proper flash file from a subfolder, if I keep the home.htm untouched and include a script(?) for this in the Document Tab when making the report?
