    I have a Chinese PGV site, and would like to customize how full name is displayed from "lastname, firstname" to "lastnamefirstname" with no space in between. Can anyone tell me how to accomplish this?

    Thanks
    Bin

    What version of PhpGedView are you using? You should be on the "SVN" version, but depending on which version of PHP is running on your server, that may not be possible.

    The insertion of the comma when the family and given names are reversed is a bug that is easily corrected, but I need to know which version of PhpGedView you're using.

    I am using the PGV version 4.3 svn, php 5.5.9.

    Please e-mail me directly at: gkroll (at) keldine (dot) ca

    I'll make the absolute latest-and-greatest SVN version of PhpGedView available to you as a download in the form of a ZIP file. It will have the fix in it to remove the comma from reversed names. The comma appears not only on Chinese sites, but also Hungarian and any others where PhpGedView has been configured to place the family name ahead of given names.

    There have been a number of fixes in PhpGedView recently, and this way (download from my site) is probably the best way to ensure that your site is up-to-date.
