I am not an expert, or indeed a novice, at web design so I have read through all five pages of this forum before asking this question. So far, I am delighted with the results I have achieved by using the new Report Generator to publish my GP tree online. However, I would like to go further. I would like to be able to add Excel databases of BMDs, maps, charts and other articles. I would also like to add links to useful websites for Ulster genealogy. From what I have read so far, would I be right in saying that it is not possible to do any of this just yet but that it is planned for Version 2.0? However, I also read that it is possible to include files in "skins" and that someone has put music onto a site. Can you direct me to the section of the support pages which will tell me how to do this.

Update: a new "ftp client" tool has been released: http://www.genopro.com/help/ftp-client/

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 ]@

@[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.

@[Report.Write doc.Description ]@

is the recommended way to insert HTML text.

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?
