#377 New Module: Family Story

[nimebe]

I've written a module for PGV called Family Story. Family Story helps family members write an autobiography by prompting them with questions about their lives. As they type their stories, users are able to share them with others on your site.

A couple of sites that do something similar to this are:
MyLifeStory.org
lifebio.com

This is my first beta release so I would appreciate very much any help finding bugs, more features, more questions, and more categories. Any feedback is appreciated.

I hope you enjoy.

Please don't use "short tags" when submitting modules. Many of us don't have them enabled. It took me 15 minutes to figure out why the formatting was off, then I noticed the short tags in header.php and footer.php .

Pardon my ignorance, but what do you mean by short tags?

Please change the pgv_ to .$TBLPREFIX.

"short tags" use <? instead of the standard <?php

Thanks, I'll change all <? to <?php. It was my understanding that they could be used interchangeably. Apparently there are some issues with that though.

Nick,

I have looked at Family Stories in languages.

1. The existing normal lang.xx.php texts of at least "edit" and "admin" are replaced by the fs_lang.en.php texts.
2. "active" is defined twice in fs_lang.en.php.
3. I do not see language variables in the file for instance for "My Career", "My Childhood", "Editor Preferences", "Basic", "Add a comment or additonal information about the story by using the comments section below", "What traditions did your family have at Christmas?", "What traditions does your family have at Chanuka?", etc.
4. There should exist a set of possible questions that are translated to languages, so that the administrators do not have to create them in all the site languages.
5. I created a file fs_lang.he.php. The Hebrew pages of the Family Stories do not use the variable texts defined in this file.

The Language files aren't setup in Family Story yet. All text in the module will be included in the lang.xx.php file and will be customizable in a lang.extra.xx.php (or similar). Translations will also be supported. This is on my list of features to complete as soon as I can. Thanks for letting me know about the issues you found.

Hi

Downloaded and installed the module - sounds like just what I wanted.

It's giving me this error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function getListOf() on a non-object in G:\xampp\htdocs\PhpGed\modules\family_story\fs_functions.php on line 372
