This is a first attempt - proof of concept if you like. A small image is loaded into the home page and when you move the cursor over it, names appear. Clicking on a name brings the relevant page of data from the report. You have to use the back button to get back to the image - this is only first attempt. Hopefully most of the links work, although there are at least two where I have not yet found the relevant data and so you get an error message.

The image is very small on first loading but can be zoomed, or use the 100% button to get a reasonable size. The code to load the image is
This code is based on the example given in the Lizardtech help pages. I had problems getting the image in the correct place so that the URL entered into the djvu image was able to find the report data. The simplest way seems to put the image in the root directory of the customised skin. You need Djvu Solo editor to add the URL, which I obtained by loading the relevant page and copying the link location and cutting it back to the basic data.

It would obviously be better to load the image where the .svg image appears so that the data can appear above the picture. This will involve getting to grips with the code.

I hardly dare ask "Ron the Guru" to have a look at this idea as he has already produced so many amazing improvements to the report generator.

Have asked Ron already about this a few weeks ago and here is what he came up with:

I have put something together that I believe satisfies your requirement. I
have taken an existing generated file gmap_place.htm and changed it to
provide a skeleton file for your name.htm files. The file multimedia.htm
attached is an example with an embedded flash move, the GenoPro promo. The
2nd file 'multimedia1.htm' simply has a jpg taken from your familytrees
site. This is to illustrate the resize feature that I have 'borrowed' from
the Google Maps page, hence the reference to class 'googlemap' and
id='GoogleMap'. These names must be used to make the resize work. Other
media objects may possibly resize in this way (i.e. set their width & height
to 100%). I could change the 'GoogleMap' reference to 'MultiMedia' in the
skin if your think this feature would be popular. I have tested these htm
files using a Source 'URL' field in a report and they work fine.

Just replace the <object>...</object> with your own multimedia object. Also
set the title and remove text 'Embed media file object here'. The background
for the htm is taken from 'style.css' as you are aware.

Wow, that was quick !:

Thanks a lot, I will try and get my head around it all tomorrow as it is getting late.

This generator thing just never stops to amaze me.

I tried the multimedia set up but can't get my image to show up in the new window as all I get is the title and below that thename of the image.

Please could you post the part of the code in the above htm that deals with the image as I am obviously missing something.

<object classid="clsid:0e8d0700-75df-11d3-8b4a-0008c7450c4a" width=100% height=100%>
<param name="imageURL" value="sinclair-tait-family.djvu" >
<embed SRC="sinclair-tait-family.djvu" type="image/x.djvu" width="100%" height="100%" zoom="100%">
</embed>
</object>

I would now like to know how to  link the djvu to the people in the tree as I am no expert on link language and if possible make the image open in the bottom frame like the svgs.

Though I don't have many group photos, I am trying to think of other possible uses of this djvu system which seems to have a lot of potential.
