[edit] Tree - draw standard lines for descendance tree, too: from spouses to their children

My uncle(person:911) was married two times. Only from first wedding he was child, but their TREE (http://pt.rodovid.org/wk/Pessoa:911) nor FULL TREE (http://pt.rodovid.org/wk/Especial:Tree/911) draw a line between he and her old wife for their child André(person:1010) and Bianca(person:1011)...
After selected person don't draw line between husband and wife but only draw single line between person and children...
Please, verify if is possible to draw line for person and descending spouses, too ! Thanks. Morais 23:08, 15 February 2006 (EET)

  • Don't know... When tree is drawing all ansectors are added (they are fathers and mothers). Descendances are a ALL children of person and than all children of children... When women have children from different men her children have different clan value, so be shown in defferent color. But father give to all his children his clan value, so all of his children colored by one color.
  • This type of chart (Full tree) show all ansectors and descendnce from ONE person, so links are shown only between:
  1. person, its father and its mother for ansectors
  2. persons and its children for descendances.
  • If you want you I can code other chart of other type, just decribe this type, or give me a link where I can see this type :) --Baya 14:44, 16 February 2006 (EET)

Baya, I just like that tree show/draw links between FATHER and MOTHER to CHILDREN every time, as for ansectors, TOO for descendances... Is it possible ? :-)

In this case, child(Andre and Bianca) have same FATHER (Amilcar), with same Clan and color, and same mother (Neusa).
This person(Amilcar) was husband of Neusa, but now his wife/spouse is other: Maria Cristina!
Tree has one different color for each person (Neusa, Maria Cristina, Amilcar) and blank color for sister and brother, but all of this is just very close... together/grouped... with one single line from father(Amilcar) to child !
When I see this tree I don't know who is the mother... ? Is mother Neusa or Cristina ? Correct is Neusa!

Why don't keep the standard draw of ascendance for ALL levels of tree, as better result ? Morais 22:55, 16 February 2006 (EET)

  • I will think, but it is very confused for me. Maybe I must add a special descendance tree? or recode part that show descendance.... --Baya 09:55, 17 February 2006 (EET)


[edit] Wikimedia Project

This isn't really a request, but a question. Do you think it would be a good idea to become a Wikimedia project? (Wikimedia are the organisation that maintain Wikipedia, Wikibooks, Wikinews, Wikitionary etc.).--Bjwebb 11:42, 21 February 2006 (EET)

Just thought I'd let you know. I've mentioned rodovid on the wikimedia foundation mailing list, if you want to see what has been said, click here.--Bjwebb 16:57, 24 March 2006 (EET)
  • Thanks %) My English is really terribly good :) When you finish with new proposal I can make translation to russian & ukrainian :) --Baya 00:05, 26 March 2006 (EET)
  • Well, I think its more or less ready, is there anywthing else that we can add?--Bjwebb 18:52, 28 March 2006 (EEST)
  • Personally, I think we should postpone the effort to become a Wikimedia project until after a merge with Wikitree.--Bjwebb 16:47, 31 March 2006 (EEST)

[edit] Special TREE - add ansectors of SPOUSE(s)

Can I change any parameter to show too the parents and ansectors of spouse(s) of select people in both TREE (person and special) ?
Or this request need changes in code of trees ?
Example: http://pt.rodovid.org/wk/Especial:Tree/1848 show only ansectors of this person (João Flávio) but not the ansectors of her spouse (Adriana). :-( Morais 06:05, 4 March 2006 (EET)

  • See tree of any child of them :) --Baya 18:34, 4 March 2006 (EET)
  • This persons haven't child... :-( beacause they are recently married and is a NEW Family ! As in TREE of child, if could be add SPOUSE's ansectors of selected person, too, is better for families with out child ! :-) Morais 17:11, 20 March 2006 (EET)

Could this be coded as the tree of a virtual child? Rob Hooft 09:02, 26 March 2006 (EEST)

[edit] Person - revert (delete) changes in other language on COMPARE

Hi! On 2006-Mar-07 I noticed by e-mail that one person of my family has been changed in other language: DE.rodovid.org but don't had link to show differences as in other pages changes! :-O
When I edit this same people in PT db, I could see that difference was LANGUAGE DB only !
In COMPARE link I haven't how to revert changes to old version (rollback!)... and I edited the record to save last version in PT db, the correct db !
Please, add an option in history of People and Family to REVERT changes, with corresponding delete of incorrect version from db if necessary! Ex: http://de.rodovid.org/wk/Person:1902 x http://pt.rodovid.org/wk/Person:1902 Morais 00:19, 9 March 2006 (EET)



[edit] Tree - HALF child is NOT present in some cases...

Why half child isn't in their family tree and other half child is present in their family tree ?

  • Tree http://pt.rodovid.org/wk/Especial:Tree/897 show bloody descendants of João Baptista de Mello. João Baptista Bacellar de Mello has a two childs Plinio and Tiago. Script found half not bloody sister Erica for Plinio and Tiago, but show only for Plinio (oldest).
  • http://pt.rodovid.org/wk/Especial:Tree/1859 show bloody descendants of José de Abreu Assunção. His son Luís de Assunção does not have childs. So no bloody descendants by line of Luís de Assunção and no half sisters/brothers.


Two children has the same situation/case !
Children in both cases is only descendant from MOTHER and both tree is from older ascendant of new/actual spouse of their mothers... Morais 07:59, 11 March 2006 (EET)

  • In general: This type (deep tree) show not a half childs but half brothers and sisters. I will code wide tree - it will be show half childs. (deep and wide trees differs in relatives search order) --Baya 13:13, 11 March 2006 (EET)

[edit] Similar Search

Is there a way we can check for similar results, that are alsmost certainly the same people, but have not be merged by the authors. Please could you build a page that allows us to do this. Something like Special:List of similar people.--Bjwebb 22:02, 23 March 2006 (EET)

[edit] Flag of new record in Special:Contributions/

Please, add the flag of new record N! as exist in Special:Recentchanges on the Special:Contributions ! It'll be very good to verify activities of user... if duplicating persons or not.... Ahhhh, Why DELETED itens not registered in Contributions of user ? Thanks Morais 08:21, 26 March 2006 (EEST)



[edit] Country links

Why is the country link to a Rodovid page? Would it be more suitable to link to the page on the same-language "Wikipedia" page? Rob Hooft 21:53, 26 March 2006 (EEST)

Well, you could have a page about people in that country, but I think I agree with you, a link to the Wikipedia article would be better.--Bjwebb 22:26, 26 March 2006 (EEST)
  • I will code country list, similar to surnames and years. And recode link from event country to page of country. I think it will be more usefull. --Baya 15:11, 31 March 2006 (EEST)



[edit] Generating customized tree

Could it be possible to generate a tree by selecting two persons. For example: my father and his old friend had the same surname, but they're sure that they aren't family. By inserting all the data I've found, could it be possible to find out by selecting my dad and his friend and Rodovid generates a custom tree, showing only the main people? --ThePhoenix 82.157.74.36 18:02, 18 April 2006 (EEST)

  • Well, that kind of tree is just like all the others. I mean something like this: There is a page where I can select two persons. Rodovid generates a path which connects the persons or displays a message like 'No connection possible'. That kind of path is showing which connection the two persons have.--ThePhoenix 212.203.11.242 11:40, 19 April 2006 (EEST)
  • I understand now :) Move this request to bugzilla please, as "find relationships". --Baya 13:19, 19 April 2006 (EEST)
  • I'm happy to see you understand and I will add it. But in fact, it's not a bug, it's a request. --Thephoenix 82.157.74.36 18:32, 19 April 2006 (EEST)
  • I understand :) mark it as enhencement --Baya 20:28, 19 April 2006 (EEST)

[edit] Old style and new style dates

As most people probably know, we use nowadays the Gregorian calendar, but some time ago, the Julian calendar was also used in some countries. The Gregorian was introduced in 1582, but each country began using it when it chose to, and some countries used it until the First World War. (Romania, for instance, switched to the Gregorian calendar in 1919.) In addition, the difference between the two calendars was not constant, but depended on the century and sometimes on the country - there was a 13 day difference after 1900, 12 days between 1800 and 1900, etc.

So what I propose is the adding of a feature with which one can introduce a date in two variants - old style (Julian calendar) and new style (Gregorian calendar). Of course, users should still have the option of introducing only one date, since nowadays we only have one calendar left, and sometimes, the user knows only one date, without knowing whether it was an old style or new style one. -- Dumiac 18:18, 10 July 2006 (EEST)

[edit] Relationship between two people

I'd like to request a tree that draws relationship between two people, for example to find common ancestry of two people. Chaerani 19:53, 12 July 2006 (EEST)

It turned out that this request has been already given in Creating Customized Tree above. I find it very important to establish linkage between two persons in the family tree.Chaerani 05:01, 13 July 2006 (EEST)

[edit] Batch Edit

I'd like to request Batch Edit feature, for example, to change clan of several individuals at once, perhaps using checkboxes to select the batch (just like in flickr.com)
