I have been running Legacy Standard for several years on a Compaq Pentium
computer running Windows XP SP2. The current version is 7.4.0.45. I have a
database of around 10000 individuals. For Source Citations I have a Master
Source list (eg "UK 1851 Census") and the Detail field will be the individual
reference (eg "HO107-456 F12 P8").

Recently, some Details have been disappearing, overwritten with an apparently
random single letter or, occasionally, a detail being used to update another
unrelated record. It is difficult to gauge the size of the problem as, as far as
I know, I cannot view Detail lists.

I have tried Check/Repair but the problem persists. Is the best solution to
Export to a new Legacy file, or to install a fresh version of Legacy and use a
Backup copy, or will these just transfer the same problem to the new database?

Your advice would be appreciated.

This is probably not the best forum for this question to be answered, because
the specialists here are web site developers. I would suggest that you are
better using Legacy User Group.

Personally, I have not met this problem, although I am using Legacy Delux. I
would not expect Check/Repair to resolve it either, as it is not a relationship
problem. When contacting LUG you will need to say whether the files affected are
using Basic Sourcing, or Source Writer, or both.

I cannot see that exporting to a new file will help, as it will probably
transfer the problem. It maybe the the best approach would be to
uninstall/reinstall Legacy and restore a backup which is free from the problem.

I do however, recommend that you post the question on LUG.

I am continuing efforts to try to display images in my web pages without
undue effort and room for error. It looks like I will have to enter the html
link for each image in the notes as I write the biography. Here is the code
I used for a census image:

James appears in the household of his father in the «a HREF="
http://website.com/genealogy/sources/cen.1840.jpg" Target="blank"» 1840
census«/a» in Johnson County, Indiana, as between the ages of 5 and 10.

The link and text appear correctly in the web page; however, when I generate
an Individual Report on this individual, the html code displays exactly as I
have it entered in the notes.

I thought the html code for links would automatically be stripped out based
upon this snippe\t from Legacy Help:

"EMBEDDING HTML CODES INTO NOTES:

... When producing a web page or HTML file, the double angle bracket would
be changed to regular angle brackets and the Legacy word would then become a
link that would take the reader to the Legacy web site when clicked.  When
producing a report, the added codes would be removed so that the reader
would not see them

Other codes, such as bold and italics, are sent to both the HTML file and
the printed report in the appropriate formats."

When the Help file says these added codes would be removed, surely it
doesn't mean each one individually by hand! Am I missing something?

Thanks,

Sherry

No, you are not missing anything; the help article is just another bit of
wishful thinking. The removal of non-text formatting has never been implemented.
I make extensive use of coding in notes and long ago had to chose between
maintaining two separate family files, with and without, or giving up paper
reports. I opted for the latter.

Much to my regret Wm is correct and I too had to chose, and selected the same
option as Wm.

Ideally, Legacy would strip the html tags for reports and formatting codes such
as 'tab' when converting to html, it does neither despite requests having be
made for these options for years.

When I place pictures for my web pages in the General, Research or Event
Notes I use the 'Privacy Brackets', ie. [[ and ]].



For your example;



James appears in the household of his father in the [[<a HREF="

<http://website.com/genealogy/sources/cen.1840.jpg>" Target="blank"> ]]1840

census[[</a>]] in Johnson County, Indiana, as between the ages of 5 and 10.



Then I can choose to not 'print [[ Private ]] notes' for reports or, 'print
[[ Private ]] notes' for web pages and select 'Remove [[ ]]'.



That works for me but, as Ron and Wm are not doing that and say it has been
a problem for years, then I think I must be missing something here!

Dave,

I cannot speak for Wm, but I use privacy brackets for other things in my notes
such as information relating to an individual which I do not wish to publish.
These may be things like notes to myself for future work, as well as personal
stuff.

Dennis,

I agree, it is also only a one-way solution, consider, for example a table which
may contain URLs - I, know, an extreme example and used only to illustrate the
point!

But only for the narrow issue of embedding an image link (or the like).
If you use coding for tables, formatting letter transcriptions,
alternate characters, etc., you are stuck with the choices previously
offered.

I never attempted that one! At most I put in a link to an image or a

I could have swore that at one time Legacy removed the
double-angle-brackets (and everything in between them) when printing.
But it has been a long time since I printed anything.

I also thought that the angle brackets etc. had been stripped at one time, but
it is not the case now. It may be that they were only stripped in certain
functions eg. Research Notes (I am not being specific), but it has been so long
since I last saw them stripped (if at all) that I cannot remember!

Thanks to Dave for helping me with a workaround for embedding image links
into notes. His use of [[private]] does work! It strips out the html code in
printed versions and includes them in my web.

Thanks to Mary for showing me a way to achieve a clean narrative using NOTES
events. This allows me to attach sources and images to each specific Notes
event!

*My new problem is*: When I create my web I have the choice of displaying
Events in either List or Sentence style, with either bullets or numbers. Is
there possibly a way to choose NEITHER bullets or numbers. This is killing
my nice, clean narrative.

Getting close :-)

Glad you got your image placed and sorry for sort of hijacking the
question with the arcana of embedding code.

As for the bullets, the answer is no, but you can easily do a global
search and replace after the pages are built and remove them. If you do,
make sure you use the bullet option, not the numbers.

Hi Sherry

I had posted a similar question. See the thread here:

The Help file is correct, those HTML Codes should be removed from the reports.
They are correctly handled in the Narrative Style Reports but not in the
Individual and Family Group Sheet Reports.

I have entered a problem report in our tracking system , Number 3610, to have
these two reports corrected.

Subject: add visitor counter to Legacy
mleek...
Send Email Send Email
 
Is there a simple code to use to add a visitor counter to my Legacy Home page?

Is this something I'd need to get from my hosting service or could I use some
basic simple code that would count each visitor?

I'm using Legacy to create and display an alpha database of Obituary
transcriptions for a given county in my state. It's not the perfect software for
this project but I've made it work for my simple purposes.

My thanks for any help on the visitor counter question.

Well, I should have searched for this information on the net. I searched the
list archives and didn't find anything but didn't think to google it before
I posted.

I've found free code that can be used but since I update my site frequently
and will be replacing the index page with each update, I wonder if the count
will restart with each site update?

Mary,

I haven't found one which resets on a page update. In fact for the ones which I
use (from Xara, and I think they are freely available for non-purchasers of
their software) the score is held on their server rather than your site.

However is that really what you are looking for? As you indicate they only
record the visitors for that page. Another alternative is Google Analytics for
which they provide a code to be added to every page - I add it to Legacy's
footer - and although this does not display a counter it records every visitor,
which page, how long they stayed, from where, both geographically and from eg. a
search engine, and much more information.

Actually, I still have the counters on my index pages, but only because my
brother-in-law wants them on the index page for his part of the site.

Some browser add-ons will block Google Analytics.

If the OP just wants statistics (and doesn't really care about
displaying a counter on each page), they should check with their ISP.
Some ISPs offer access to the HTTP log file, which contains a record of
every HTTP request (also a good debugging tool). And there are free
programs out there which analyze the log file and produce reports.

Ron,



My hosting site provides private website traffic info, utilizing Webalizer
v2.01, but for a sub domain, they only update the information 4 times a month. I
was just curious to watch and see how many visitors the extension site is
getting. Unless I'm mistaken, the little blackboard visitor counter 'seems' to
be maintaining the visitor count with index page updates. I will know for
certain with the next update. It is only inserted on the Home page, not the
various web pages that make up the site. All of this is new to me so it's a
learning curve and I'm beginning at the lowest level! :-)



Thank you for taking the time to reply.

Subject: folder hierarchy for source docs
kyvitals
Send Email Send Email
 
I have adopted the process of creating a NARR (narrative) event and am using
that for each piece of information I enter. I am attaching the image of many
source documents to the corresponding event. My big problem is, right now I
have some 28,000 digital source documents.

My big issue is Legacy wants to dump all my attached source docs and pics
into one multimedia folder when creating the web. This won't work as web
space providers limit to a maximum of 2,000 images per folder. In fact, if
you do put more than 2,000 in a folder and don't get caught right away, you
cannot view beyond the first 2,000 in FTP software.

Is there a way to ask Legacy to preserve my filing hierarchy for attached
source docs when creating a web?

Thanks,

Sheryl

P.S. Please do not give me the copyright lecture. I am either within fair
use or copyright owner for any docs I attach.

Sherry,

I'm afraid that I do not know of a way of overcoming the problem of Legacy
placing all my image files in the same folder.

However, I was puzzled by your statement that there is a limit of 2000 images
per folder. I have checked with my web Host (Strato) who advise me that they
have no such limit, and essentially one gets what one pays for. With my site I
am paying for 5GB of storage.

Hi All,

The question of UK copyright has been raised many times, by many Luggers, both
on and off list, and on this site.

Please see
http://www.one-place-studies.org/resources/0007-Copyright-PublicBodiesUK.html
for a definitive statement as to the application of the law for genealogists.

I hope that this web page will clarify the position, and avoid UK copyright

Dennis,

At the time of receiving this post I did not know of any way in which this can
be done. However, a few days ago I read somewhere, sorry do not know where!)
that there was now a way of getting a GEDCOM into a Wordpress template. I'm
afraid that I have no further details.
