Hi John,
Thanks for the response. It was helpful, but it still hasn't solved all my
problems:
We have a site that includes many GEDCOM files. We have a few pieces of
fact or attributes for individual records that are common to all GEDCOM
files on the site, but we could not find suitable GEDCOM tags for. They are
not event-type facts. So I thought I could use the "FACT" tag defined in
GEDCOM 5.5.1 for them. Because PGV does not include FACT by default (even I
think it should, just like the EVEN tag to allow users to add custom facts),
I need to find a way to include it in a "default" variable somewhere, so it
becomes available for all GEDCOMs as a addable attribute/fact. I also would
like to be able to add a 2 TYPE subtag to it. So far I have not been
successful.
I added FACT to $typefacts in functions_edit.php, thinking it would add a 2
TYPE subtag when adding a new FACT.
I added a line to facts.en.extra.php.
These two steps did not do anything. So I manually added FACT to
$INDI_FACTS_ADD in one of the GEDCOMs (I wish I didn't have to do this...).
Now FACT appeared in the pulldown, so at least I can add a FACT to an
individual. However I am still not able to specify a TYPE, unless I add it
using RAW GEDCOM editing. But I cannot expect regular user to know to edit
raw GEDCOM tags...
So what did I do wrong? What is the right way to make this work?
Thanks!
