Ron et al.

I has been about a year since I did some modification of the English Narrative Report for publication of my tree (on both familytrees.genopro.com/guyheiser/ and on www.heiser.co.uk/family) and WOW - things have really moved on. Fantastic job.

A few questions though. The configuration has now got me a little confused. Is there somewhere in the forums (I have searched - I promise!) a step by step guide that talks through adding the Custom Attributes and explains how to then use them to do report configuration?

I actually prefer to have my own Custom Report skins and have a modified config.xml (old school I know). But this also confused me. In the old days I would add changes to the Parameters section and that would control things. Now there seems to be a short section like this with just the _PathPictures in it then a long ParameterDescriptions section with defaults etc.

So - do I add parameter setting to the existing section, or do I change the defaults in the ParameterDescriptions section (this is what I have now done) or do I add a new Parameters section at the end?

Finally on this, how do I set the StyleSheet parameter. Is it a relative path to the skin folder or an absolute one? I have reverted back to my bad old ways and changed style.css to get my custom background image.

On a separate track, I have modified both my home page (this works fine) and the individual sheet. The latter is because I don't like the slide show as a method to display all the pictures for an individual. This is mainly because many of my pictures are census images and these look a little odd in the slide show. I have changed it to show just the primary picture and then have a "div" section containing clickable thumbnails of all the the rest of the associated images. It is a bit of a hack but it does seem to work! I was wondering if (a) you could look and tell me if I have done it in a reasonable way or if I could do it differently and (b) if this was something that could be added as an option for all places where multiple images are displayed.

Many, many thanks to all involved for a fantastic product.

Regards
