You did this by creating a file on the server to replace the default thumbnail. This could be a still image from a video, or a cropped version of a group photo. In webtrees 1.7, you could create a custom thumbnail for a media object. The control panel now has an option to easily move these images from individuals to facts. This can cause some inappropriate images to be selected as the “primary image”. For example, a birth-certificate should be linked to the birth event, not the individual. It is common for images to be linked to the indvidual, when they should be linked to a fact or event. There is a “data fix” option in the control panel which will sort the media There is a new edit option to re-order the media objects. In webtrees 2.0, webtrees uses the first media object containing an image. In webtrees 1.7, the image was specified using a custom _PRIM Y tag and other logic. Webtrees must choose just one image for an individual, to use on charts, etc. Similarly, emails for things like forgotten passwords are now sent from the site, rather than from a tree.
#Webtrees thumbnails registration
In webtrees 2.0, user registration requests are emailed to the administrator(s). The genealogy contact would then need to ask an administrator to approve the user and set access permissions. This meant that users could not sign up to sites where all trees are private.

In webtrees 1.7, user registration requests were emailed to the genealogy contact for the tree. So if your media object contains a video and an image, then the image will be used as the thumbnail. Webtrees will use the first media file that contains an image as the thumbnail. For example, if you scan both sides of a document, you can store them together in one media object. Webtrees 2.0 now allows a media object to contain many media files. Media objects can now contain many media files This change allows you to create unmarried couples without relying on a custom tag. In webtrees 2.0, a couple are described as not-married, unless a MARR (marriage) event exists. In webtrees 1.7, a couple were described as married, unless a _NMR (not married) fact exists. There is a new edit option to re-order the parents. In webtrees 2.0, the first parents listed on the individual’s record will be used. In webtrees 1.7, the birth parents were used on pedigree charts, reports, and other places where only one set of parents could be shown. “Primary” parentsĪn individual can have multiple parents, for example birth and adopted. You should add a privacy restriction for notes/media/sources as well. Then the note/media/source links will instead be displayed on the “Facts and events” tab. In webtrees 2.0, if you disable or restrict access to the notes/media/sources tabs, hiding the tab would also hide the notes/media/sources. In webtrees 1.7, setting the access level for these tabs would also create a privacy restriction for the data as well.Į.g. Notes/Media/Sources tabs - visibility and privacy You should delete all the old PHP files except index.php. Note that this feature may not work if the old PHP scripts from webtrees 1.7 still exist in Redirects from the old URLs, and any existing bookmarks will continue to work.įor example, the old URL individual.php?ged=demo&pid=X123 will be redirected to the new However, if you enable pretty URLs, then webtrees will generate suitable Therefore bookmarks and search-engine links will not work. Then you will need to re-submit your sitemaps. If webtrees is installed in a subfolder, or if you do not enable pretty URLs, Then search engines will find the new files automatically. If webtrees is installed in the root folder, and you enable pretty URLs, The URL of the sitemap.xml file has changed. In webtrees 2.0, if you enable pretty URLs, it will be generated automatically. In webtrees 1.7, you must create this file yourself, using robots-example.txt. You will need to use sendmail (if your server provides it), or an SMTP server. PHP Mail has serious security vulnerabilities, and is no longer supported by Webtrees 2.0 no longer provides the “PHP Mail” option for sending e-mail. In webtrees 2.0, symbolic links are not allowed. In webtrees 1.7, the /data folder could contain symbolic links. Media files and folders must live entirely within your /data folder (or the folder you specified in the control panel). In webtrees 1.7, media folders could contain /./, to specify a folder outside the /data folder. In webtrees 2.0, you must specify the URL of your site in the file /data/.īase_url="" Media folders containing /./ In webtrees 1.7, webtrees attempted to detect the URL of the site. The location of some menu and edit items has changed. Of devices mobiles, tables, laptops and desktops. The themes in webtrees 2.0 have been rewritten to work on a wide range
