Update 2013.08.05  See topic XML Toolkit for GenoPro for latest skin

At last I have a beta(gamma?) version of the Toolkit running as a Javascript skin under the Report Generator.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.

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.

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:

http://support.genopro.com/Uploads/Images/cd41c658-5ddd-42eb-bd9b-035d.png

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.

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 Unsure
