I only ask because I had an issue where I entered just the numeric portion of the individual's ID, rather than "I123", and things kind of went screwy when the person who's ID was the numeric portion, was considered still living (I have $Hide_Live turned on).
By screwy, I mean that a copy of the tool bar appeared vertically, slightly to the left of center in the browser.
Also, as a suggestion, is there a way that the Timeline could have more than 4 people listed on it, and that the appearance could be configured to show it horizontally in a bar graph fashion?
Thanks for the great work! I'm looking forward to the MySQL version coming out!

Yes the timeline is fully working. If you don't use the full ID, I can see how it might get "screwy". I can add some code to append an "I" in front of the ID if there isn't one. Right now I don't check for that. You got the message that the person is living because it couldn't find them without the "I" in front of their numeric ID.
Adding more people would be pretty easy. I limited it to 4 because with more that 4 there were so many boxes that it got a little confusing. The horizontal view would be hard. HTML text doesn't like to run vertically.
The MySQL version works great. A little kludgy onthe uploading of the gedcom. But other than that, nice and solid.
I see the interface needs some work, how or what, is another post.

Thanks for getting back to me so soon. I figured it was just an issue with the data checking.
Also, after I read more and scrolled down the dowload page, I noticed the MySQL versions and am trying the newest out right now.
Now I need to find the message posted previously about implode() complaining :)
Thanks!

I just had it happen again, only under different circumstances.
From the beginning:
I imported the gedcom file,
clicked on Individual List at the top,
Click on one of the letters to show only that part of list
Click on one of the names shown
Along the left side,
it displays the name information and the sex,
it displays the text from the notes,
it displays the Personal Facts block.
Over the top of everything from the button bar down, about 1/3 of the screen from the left edge, it displays the button bar vertically, and all of the buttons are in the correct order, from top to bottom.
It doesn't appear to have anything to do with the Timeline, as the buttons are the same as the button bar across the top.
Any ideas? Anything I can do to help you resolve this?

Can you send me more specifics on the problems you had uploading your gedcom into the mysql version?
Also, I think that I have fixed the problem with the nav bar overlapping. It should only have caused a problem with the individual page. You can get the new individual page from the CVS and it will be included when I do the next release.

Hey John,
Thanks for fixing the overlay problem so quickly. Which page is it and I will replace it now.
Also, with respect to the upload issue, I also had problems but resolved it quickly. When using the fully qualified path (ie http://localhost/mypath/gedcom.ged\), it choked several times. But, when I gave the full path from /, without specifying http:// (/home/www/mypath/gedcom.ged), it worked fine the first time.
Thanks for the quick response! I guess only having one developer, especially the person who wrote the entire package, has its advantages :)

The MySQL version is out and working well. If you haven't tried it, then you can download it here: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/phpgedview/PhpGedView-1.21-MySQL.zip?download

I just noticed this too when testing the site in Mozilla. I've never seen it in IE before.
Now that I know the problem I'm working on fixing it.

Sorry, I should have mentioned the browser. I doubt too many people try to use IE on Linux. Kind of goes against the grain :)
Thanks!

FYI: The right hand Nav bar overlays the person data when using Opera on Windows. Any Idea as how to keep the right hand nav bar on the right?
