TNG version 11 is activated
Your MWP Type 3 TNG website is now running with the newest, latest and greatest version of the application: VERSION 11.0. This work was carried out by the TNG team over the past week.
We had some teething problems, with our apology for any inconvenience. The first problem was one of a navigation script, one that points you to your correct TNG instance upon accessing your site. It worked for a couple of hours, until one of you (to be nameless, blameless and also innocently) logged in and did some change, which caused the new version to overwrite one of our special scripts. Oops, and then everyone was pointing to the wrong TNG homepage.
The second problem was that the newest template, Template #15, was not working correctly. That required the copying over of the missing template’s configuration files, and all was restored. There may be further issues but hopefully they become minor ones. We also might see some anomalies because of the updating of TNG to v.11 itself, as the TNG author continues to clean up minor bugs.
So, what has changed? If you just use TNG as a backup system to your main research, then nothing has changed that will influence your work. All parts of older version 10 will be working in version 11. No need to read any further.
If the new features interest you, we are going to have a series of articles here that will guide you through the changes. I am personally excited to try out this version and will be having fun testing and writing the articles. Darrin Lythgoe, the TNG creator, has made some significant improvements that will impress the casual and the serious family tree researcher.
How should we report errors we are seeing in the new TNG11 setup? Marriage order isn’t working correctly (Darrin posted an update TNG 11.1 to correct it). When I add a new cemetery, it shows on the cemeteries page, but not in a place search from the person page.
I also had a user upload a gedcom file to the website…..The user’s status is guest, however she must have been able to access the admin page in order to upload a gedcom.
