The Next Generation of Genealogy Sitebuilding from Darrin Lythgoe.
January, 2006 – GENDEX Database for TNG Launched – for more information, please read this page.
Developer’s Description:
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).

Changes/Updates:
-
* Reports now support the standard Divorce event.
* The Image Mapp creation feature now adds a “title” tag for each link to enable tool tips in non-IE browsers.
* Since encrypted passwords take up roughly twice the amount of space that plain text passwords need, the size of the passwords field in the tng_users table has been increased to 100 characters.
Fixes:
* Using Admin/Edit Photo to update a photo record was wiping out the Last Modified date.
* “Private” notes were showing on the Browse Notes page.
* The cursor was not starting out in the Username field on the Admin login page.
* The standard Descendancy chart was not aligning properly when displayed in a centered environment.
* Lines continued with CONC in an exported GEDCOM were not prevented from dividing on a space.
* The ability to assign default photos in bulk was not restricted to administrator users.
* Some notes were being displayed in the wrong font size.
* It was impossible to edit or remove linkages from headstones to deleted individuals.
* Adding the first user was producing a Javascript error in some browsers.
* Names with double quotes were causing HTML code to be displayed on the Relationship chart.
* Calling the getperson.php page without valid arguments (as some crawlers do) would cause TNG to return a list of all people with no spouse (fixed–this will now cause the script to exit).
* The GEDCOM tab was being displayed on the Show Photo page even when GEDCOM downloads were not permitted.
* Administrator changes to tentative edits submitted by other users were not being accepted.
* Links for Notes and Photos would not display if the linked individual had no first name.
