TNG Mods: Addon Functionality: Rumsey Family Pages

This mod requires that you make edits to several files, but you'll find that the edits are very similar to one another and quite straightforward.

1) genlib.php
In the function tng_menu, add the following lines after the first set of doMenuItems calls. This will allow additions to an individual's tabs.

if( !$disallowgedcreate || $allow_ged ) {
    $menu .= doMenuItem( 5, "$gedform_url" . "personID=$entityID&tree=$tree", "$cms[tngpath]tng_ged.gif", $text[extractgedcom], $currpage, "gedcom" );
    $nexttab = "6";
}
else
    $nexttab = "5";
foreach (explode(',', $GLOBALS['addons']) as $addon) {
    if (is_file("addons/$addon/genlib.php"))
        include("addons/$addon/genlib.php");
}
$editstr = "editperson.php?person";

And in the tng_icons menu, add these lines to allow additions to the 'Find', 'Media' and 'Info' menus. This will allow additions to these menus by addons.

$menu .= "<li><a href=\"$searchform_url\"><img src=\"$cms[tngpath]tng_search2.gif\" width=\"20\" height=\"20\" border=\"0\" hspace=\"4\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" align=\"left\" alt=\"\" />text[search]</a></li>\n";
foreach (explode(',', $GLOBALS['addons']) as $addon) {
if (is_file("addons/$addon/find_menu.php"))
include("addons/$addon/find_menu.php");
}
$menu .= "<ul>\n";

$menu .= "<li><a href=\"$browsemedia_noargs_url\"><img src=\"$cms[tngpath]tng_media.gif\" width=\"20\" height=\"20\" border=\"0\" hspace=\"4\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" align=\"left\" alt=\"\" />text[allmedia]</a></li>\n";
foreach (explode(',', $GLOBALS['addons']) as $addon) {
if (is_file("addons/$addon/media_menu.php"))
include("addons/$addon/media_menu.php");
}
$menu .= "<ul>\n";

$menu .= "<li><a href=\"$suggest_url\"><img src=\"$cms[tngpath]tng_contact.gif\" width=\"20\" height=\"20\" border=\"0\" hspace=\"4\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" align=\"left\" alt=\"\" />text[contactus]</a></li>\n";
foreach (explode(',', $GLOBALS['addons']) as $addon) {
if (is_file("addons/$addon/info_menu.php"))
include("addons/$addon/info_menu.php");
}
$menu .= "<ul>\n";

2) admin/leftbanner.php
We will add similar code into this file to allow an addon to put itself onto the left banner of the Admin page.

3) admin/main.php
This addition will allow addons to list themselves on the main Admin page. The code is added twice here to "balance" out the list, alternating between the left and right columns.

<tr>
 <td class="fieldnameback" nowrap onMouseover="this.className='mouseoverback';" onMouseout="this.className='fieldnameback';">
 <a href="timelineevents.php" class="lightlink2"><img src="tlevents_icon.gif" alt="<?php echo $admtext[tlevents]; ?>" width="40" height="40" border="1" align="left" hspace="5" style="border-color: black;">
 <?php echo $admtext[tlevents]; ?> 
 <?php echo $timelinemsg; ?></a>
 </td>
 </tr>
<?php
 $i = 1;
 foreach (explode(',', $GLOBALS['addons']) as $addon) {
 if ($i % 2 == 1) {
 if (is_file("../addons/$addon/admin/main.php"))
 include("../addons/$addon/admin/main.php");
 }
 $i++;
 }
?>
</table>

<tr>
 <td class="fieldnameback" nowrap onMouseover="this.className='mouseoverback';" onMouseout="this.className='fieldnameback';">
 <a href="backuprestore.php" class="lightlink2"><img src="backuprestore_icon.gif" alt="<?php echo $admtext[backuprestore]; ?>" width="40" height="40" border="1" align="left" hspace="5" style="border-color: black;">
 <?php echo $admtext[backuprestore]; ?> 
 <?php echo $admtext[backupitems]; ?></a>
 </td>
 </tr>
<?php
 $i = 1;
 foreach (explode(',', $GLOBALS['addons']) as $addon) {
 if ($i % 2 == 0) {
 if (is_file("../addons/$addon/admin/main.php"))
 include("../addons/$addon/admin/main.php");
 }
 $i++;
 }
}
?>
</table>

4) English/cust_text.php
This will allow addons to include their own language dependent text files. I only show the English directory, but you would want to make this addition to all language directories you may have. Simply add these lines at the end of the file.

foreach (explode(',', $GLOBALS['addons']) as $addon) {
if (is_file("../addons/$addon/$mylanguage/text.php"))
include("../addons/$addon/$mylanguage/text.php");
}
?>

5) tngtabs1.css
Finally you will need to add an additional tab setting in the tngtabs1.css (since you will now have an additional tab on an individual's page). These settings appear twice in the file, and are dependent on the width of your tabs (so your file may not look exactly like the example).

The first set of lines appears at the top of the file:

#a5 { left: -115px;}
#a6 { left: -140px;}
#a7 { left: -165px;}

and the second set of edits appear a bit further down:

#tngnav a#a5 { left: -115px;}
#tngnav a#a6 { left: -140px;}
#tngnav a#a7 { left: -165px;}

You will simply need to calculate the next value based on the existing numbers. Remember that this is only adding one tab... if you continue to add other addons you would need to add #a8, #a9, etc.

Home Search Print Login TNG Addon Enhancement This modification allows for addons (such as my Research Assistant mod) to easily integrate themselves onto the TNG public menus and admin menus, as well as provide language extensions without requiring extensive edits to the original TNG files (except for the initial edits, of course). This mod requires that only a few lines be added to a handful of files. I have currently only tested these edits on TNG v6.x. If you like this mod, be sure to check out my others here. How To Use It After making the required edits to the files, addons can perform menu customization by providing a handful of files into a directory 'addons/addon_name' off of the main TNG site. The following files can reside in the 'addons' directory (but none of them are actually required).: genlib.php: Allows an addon to add tabs onto Individual pages. find_menu.php, media_menu, info_menu: Puts entries on the 'Find', 'Media' and 'Info' drop down menus, respectively. admin/leftbanner.php: Adds lines to the left banner of the Admin page. admin/main.php: Adds entires onto the main Admin page. English/text.php: Allows for language customization of the addon's text. My example filename shows 'English' as the directory, but you would have as many language directories as your addon supports. Once these files are provided and the edits covered below have been made, integrating an addon into TNG is as simple as defining a global variable $addons in the customconfig.php file. Multiple addons can be included by comma seperating them. For example $addons = "researchasst,pdfreports"; Downloads If you haven't made edits to the original TNG files, or just want to see the edits made to the original files, you can download versions with these edits already made. I realize this is not a complete list of all versions... I'm working on that. If you have made edits, please proceed to the 'Modifications Required' section below to get instructions on how to manually make these edits. v 6.0.4 Modifications Required Before attempting any edits on your TNG files, it is always a good idea to make a backup!
