The Next Generation of Genealogy Sitebuilding Description

Manage and display your genealogy data on the Internet. The Next Generation of Genealogy Sitebuilding ("TNG") is a powerful way to manage and display your genealogy data on the Internet, all without generating a single page of HTML. Instead, your information is stored in MySQL database tables and dynamically displayed in attractive fashion with PHP (a scripting language). If your web server supports PHP and MySQL, you can set up and run TNG with very little effort. Don't settle with 'ancient' site creation methods that provide you with thousands of dull-looking HTML pages!Here are some key features of "The Next Generation of Genealogy Sitebuilding":· No HTML pages to generateOther genealogy web site tools create a set of finished ("static") HTML pages, sometimes one for each person in your file. You may end up with hundreds or thousands of web pages to upload and maintain! What if you have changes in your data? Sorry, you'll need to recreate and reload all of those pages all over again. What if you don't like how they look? If you can't figure out how to manipulate the program then your only other choice is to make the changes to each of the thousands of pages yourself. Good luck! TNG uses a database to create your pages dynamically, as they're requested. That means no huge load of pages to create and upload each time you have a change, and if you want to tweak the look and feel, you do it in one location and it's done for the entire site! · Extremely customizableUse one of TNG's pre-built templates to get off to a running start, or do everything yourself. A style sheet allows you to pick all colors, sizes and fonts - plus a whole lot more if you're up to it. A settings page allows you to easily change the values of many system variables. In addition, TNG also allows you to put a custom header and footer on each page. Add a menu at the top or down the left side, or enclose the main content inside a table - whatever you want. A look at some of the many sites already running TNG will reveal a fraction of what's possible. · Still visible to search enginesEven though TNG pages are not created until requested, they can still be indexed by external search engines like Yahoo, Google, MSN, Ask, etc. That's because the finished pages are still just HTML, and the engines have to request the pages the same way you or I would. Just remember that it sometimes takes a while for the robots & crawlers to find your pages. Don't want them to find you? TNG will let you do that too. · Get your site indexed on the TNG NetworkUntil 2004, a site called GENDEX.com allowed any personal genealogy site to be indexed at a central location, so long as that site could create a special GENDEX file and was registered with GENDEX.com. Unfortunately that site has ceased to exist, but now you can join the TNG Network, which indexes TNG-created sites in much the same way. It's an excellent way to get your data in front of others who are searching for a connection. Have a look! · Fast, free and friendly support!I realize that no matter how good the program is, you're going to have questions. Sometimes your server settings may need tweaking, and (heaven forbid) you might even find an error in the code. Whatever the concern, please feel free to contact me. There are no stupid questions, and I always reply promptly - unless I'm asleep! Requirements: · Web site that supports PHP and MySQL What's New in This Release: · Administration: Many improvements in the administrative area make online site management a lot easier than before (smaller forms, fewer page refreshes, no more popup windows, and many more "Web 2.0" enhancements). · PDF Reports: Create PDF documents directly from pedigree, descendancy and individual charts. · Albums: Albums can now be linked directly to individuals and families, and Web 2.0 administration makes it easy to group your photos and other media items. · Media: More robust online management, and you can now create your own media types. · Most Wanted: Dynamically create a list of the people or photos you're interested in the most. · Look and Feel: Several pages have been restyled for easier use and a nicer appearance (Cemeteries, Surnames, Places). · Faster Upgrade: Coming from an earlier version of TNG? No problem! · Security: Enjoy stronger protection against the latest malicious influences. · Search: Searchable columns make lookups easier and more informative. · Search Engines: A few key changes should make your pages more visible. · Google Maps: The new "Default Zoom" setting will save you time when you're pinpointing your locations. · Places: A few popular 3rd-party GEDCOM conventions are now supported, allowing many of you to import latitude and longitude data already in your file. · TNG Network: A direct link to this surname lookup site makes it easier for you to index your own data there. · Plus many more improvements
