Robert, not sure why you have posted in this topic 'XML Toolkit for GenoPro'. Please repost as a new topic (use Add Topic button) in the correct Forum - e.g. Report Generator Forum or maybe Report Generator Bugs Forum. Once you have done so I will delete this and your post here to avoid confusion.

Hi Temmery, welcome to the forum.
For future reference, please try to post in the correct forum. Also if you have new questions, such as these, please create a new topic rather than 'replying' to an existing topic. Use ' Export to Gedcom via the Rerport Generator' rather than the built-in 'Export to Gedcom' (choose the #Export to Gedcom' skin in Generate Report dialog). this will export GenoPro 'Union' data as MARR tags in Gedcom. There are updates to this skin on this forum. Re zip download issue: Some browsers (IE ?) seem not interpret the attachments correctly. Try using a different browser. Google Chrome works for me.

GenoPro version 2.5.3.9
XML Toolkit 2009.03.26
(I'm sure this worked in the past ...)
After selecting following option (and only this one)
I get following error
I have no idea what it is referring at because the rest of the processing seems to be OK. Is the "119.40" referring to a line and column in 'Toolkit.js'?
Further, the only issue I have with the result is that in absence of both a birth and baptism date, the "bpt." prefix is generated anyhow. The same is true for death/burial where a "bur." prefix is generated as can be seen in the example below.

Hi,
Can you give me the code for this:
C1="Date of death/burial (d./bur. yyyy MM dd) and Place of death/burial ([bur. ]x..x)"
and
C1="Date of birth/baptism (b./bpt. yyyy MM dd) and Place of birth/baptism ([bur. ]x..x)"
Thanks

I have installed the XML Toolkit and I was hoping it would help me populate the "Place of Birth" and "Place of Death" fields, but apparently not.
I have over 10,000 individuals in my main tree and I have packed a lot of info into the General Comments field such as "b. Albany, NY" and "d. Chicago, IL". I can extract these fields by copying the Comments column from the GenoPro Table Layout into an MS Excel spreadsheet and using text functions to find and isolate the characters in the string. I could then paste these text strings back into the appropriate fields in the GenoPro Table Layout, but unfortunately no pasting is allowed in these fields ("Place of Birth" and "Place of Death"). They must be populated one-by-one from within the Birth and Death tabs.
I see that the XML Toolkit allows retrieval of stray OCCU and RESI fields imported into Custom Tags back into the the regular GenoPro fields... so I'm wondering if Custom Tags labeled BIRT and DEAT could be processed by XML Toolkit to populate the main "Place of Birth" and "Place of Death" fields?
I find the Properties Birth and Death tabs to be cumbersome when working with hundreds of individual records, so that is why I use the General Comments field as a catch-all. The problem is that I am exporting to Ancestry.com using the GenoPro GEDCOM Report Generator and I would like this data to populate that database correctly, so I need the BIRT and DEAT fields populated.
Thank you for your consideration of this option.

A quick follow-up...
Incidently, I read the posts about the uncertain future of GenoPro due to higher priorities... this is understandable, but nonetheless disappointing. I've invested countless hours in my genealogy research, almost exclusively using GenoPro as the database/platform, so if I need to migrate to another software program, I'd like to make it as seemless as possible. If the makers of GenoPro cannot support continued development/support, I would think that it could/should be sold to a commercial software company.
Anyway, I'm not sure if my needs can be met using XML Toolkit or maybe just the GEDCOM Report Generator. I need to be able to pick up certain custom tags as GEDCOM output.
Custom Tag ----> GEDCOM Tag
Birth Location ----> PLAC (under BIRT section)
Death Location ----> PLAC (under DEAT section)
Burial Location ----> PLAC (under BURI section)
If these tags can be copied into the main GenoPro tags, 'Place of Birth', 'Place of Death', and 'Place of Burial' that would be great, but the primary need is to capture this data in my GEDCOM output file.

Your requirements should be do-able with a few tweaks to the XML Toolkit. I'll take look and get back to you ASAP.
There is code in there already to create Place records so probably the best approach would be to take BIRT.place, DEAT.place and BURI.place custom tags across to their rightful GenPro place. Regarding GenoPro. This forum is still alive and kicking, as is familytrees.genopro.com. www.genopro.com is also still there albeit a little quiet. I believe GenoPro is still being sold and appears to be widely used in academia and other institutions. Reports of its demise maybe exaggerated

I have now published a revised XML Toolkit for GenoPro with two additional facilities under the 'Miscellanous Edits' tab that should assist here. The first allows bulk import of custom tags and the second conversion the requested custom 'place' tags to regular GenoPro fields. so for example the spreadsheet data: can be imported after conversion to JSON format (see file import.json in the Toolkit skin to details of how to convert) [{"ID":"ind00001","Name":"Harry Potter","BIRT.place":"London","BAPM.place":"Paris","DEAT.place":"Rome","BURI.place":"Madrid"},{"ID":"ind00002","Name":"Vernon Dursley","BIRT.place":"here","BAPM.place":"there","DEAT.place":"nowhere","BURI.place":"everywhere"}, {"ID":"ind00003","Name":"Petunia Evans (Dursley)","BIRT.place":"mercury","BAPM.place":"venus","DEAT.place":"mars","BURI.place":"pluto"}] |
matching on either ID or Name. The resulting GenoPro . xml file can be opened in GenoPro and the Toolkit ran again to convert these custom tags to the equivcalent regular tags.
