Integration of TNG with a Drupal Site - KYFamilyNotes
Hi All, I am kind of new at this so bear with me. I used to do genealogy but dropped out while I was getting my MBA and dealing with other things. I am currently in the process of integrating "The Next Generation of Genealogy" v7.1.1 with Drupal v6.x. I have gotten TNG working with an uploaded GEDCOM file for test purposes. What I succeeded in doing was to add the insertFrame module to the mix and then put in the link to the TNG site within. I am also using the TNGintegration module. That has allowed me to show the TNG site on the front page (example at http://www.kyfamilynotes.com). Now I am ready to do some other things.
My current questions/observations are:
(1) Even though I am using the TNGintegration module, it is not passing on the set of users to the TNG site. How is the setup supposed to be in order for this to happen?
(2) I would like to put the TNG site on a separate tab and allow for forums, blogs, etc. on a different tab. Any suggestions on how to do this?
(3) I would like to extract the latest Surnames that have been added on a list along the side with URLs embedded that would go to the surname page for each one on the TNG site. Any suggestions on how to accomplish this?
These are some of my questions. I just joined the group and hope to interact as best I can. Thanks.
Sort of answered question #2
I was able to use the Tabbed Block and Views to make a series of tabs that do what I was looking for. Tabbed Block allows a collection of Blocks to be grouped together with a set of tabs at the top to select between them. My only challenge was to come up with a set of blocks to put each individual item into.
