Hi,
Recently, I received a project where i have to create an online database of the genealogy (family tree) of a community. I think Drupal is the best option for creating this kind of a website.
I searched for some drupal modules to create or import a genealogy and found a couple.
The first one was genmod, which displays the database created externally from a script called "genmod". This plugin is still in development, but i tried it anyway, but, as expected it gave a lot of problems.
The next one which i tried was "Family Tree". I don't like this plugin. It is not comprehensive, it's confusing and too complicated.
So, here i come asking you guys for help. Any suggestion would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Regards,
Husain

Hi Husain, If you are looking
Hi Husain,
If you are looking for a project specific solution, i would sugguest you do it using drupal's CCK+Views (super combo)! Though ull have to build some supporting modules for that.
Else if are insisting that you need a generic module. You ll have to build something for all of us :)

Thanks for your suggestion,
Thanks for your suggestion, Arjun.
The client wants a very low budget solution, creating a supporting module, or a new module altogether will turn out costly. Should i look elsewhere? (Joomla, Wordpress, etc)
:) As you are already here

As you are already here you dont have to look else where!
In this case i would suggest you build it using CCK and views
Am not so sure about the kind of User Relationships that you are looking for,
for one way relations .. you could probly pull it off using CKK and view
For 2 way relationships it would be better to go for the User Relationships module. This module is not just for these kind of apps but could be used for any kind of user relationships.
I am not sure abuot the other options that you have asked (I really dont care about them any ways :P)

Anyway i'll have a look and get back to you ... :)
