Hi y'all, been working on this for a while, but have been a bit sidetracked by an important change in my family tree, namely the arrival of our 2nd grandaughter.

Update: I've removed links from this post, see later posts for latest revision of template and preview. See Topic7075-60-1.aspx&start=47

Main changes from 2nd draft from Dan are:

1. Removal of tables and introduction of more CSS-based layout features.
2. Changes to the slideshow - removed drop-down list, added display of picture descriptions/comments
3. Made all comment items initially hidden with clickable headings to hide or show comments as required. This relies on 'switch content' code from www.dynamicdrive.com which must be downloaded separately (see readme.txt in skin). This was sugggested by another member of this forum but I can't find the post at present.
4. Reworked dynamic tree index based on work by Andrew Gregory http://www.scss.com.au/family/andrew/webdesign/explorertree/ to improve load times
5. addition of links to grandparents & siblings.
6. added pictures of spouse/partner.
7. pictures when clicked on appear in a separate auto-sized window (acknowledgements to http://www.therotunda.net/code/autosized-popup-window.html)
8.changed names of some images (e.g. GenoPro.Logo.gif) so that case matched that used in code. Some Web Servers are touchy about this!

I also started to move some of the phrases used into the Dictionary to make it easier to translate to other languages, but realised that the grammatical syntax may also need to be changed for other languages.

So a suggestion - perhaps a method that allowed conditional string formatting would help, e.g.

suppose Dictionary has entry

<FmtBirthInfo T="{0} [was born{1|2&z}][ in {2}]{1}[[ and {1&z}] was baptised{3}[ at {4}]]."/>

where phrase in square brackets [] are only generated if the (first) included field {} is not null. Nesting would be allowed and the encoding &z introduced to allow a field to be tested but not output. Fields can be joined with | (or) or + (and) for more complex conditions. Encoding &z would be assumed for such conditions.

then a new method 'FormatOptionalString' could be called as

LanguageDictionary.FormatOptionalString("FmtBirthInfo", i.name.first, i.birth.date.ToDateNarrative, i.birth.place, i.birth.baptism.date.ToDateNarrative, i.birth.baptism.place)

to generate birh information strings such as

Ron was born in London.

or Ron was born in London in 1951.

or Ron was born in 1951 and was baptised on 02-Feb-1951.

depending on which fields were null or not.

I believe this make it easier to generate reports in other languages from the same skin, with just changes to the dictionary.
