The Main Tree vs The Research Only Tree

Genosis


No - the profile id's are not changed - what basically happens is that their tree_id is updated to the new tree so they show up there instead of in the old one.

One thing I forgot to add is that after you move the ancestor profiles, you need to search for them in the new tree and "link" them into your tree by adding a new child for them and selecting an existing profile in the tree - let me know if that makes sense.

Thanks!

Emails for forum updates

Using Jamroom

Looks like your mail server is down or is having issues - we are sending to you but only getting errors:


a "451" error means that an error was encountered in "local processing" - i.e. you are over a quota, the SMTP server is misconfigured, etc.

Let me know if that helps.

The Main Tree vs The Research Only Tree

Genosis


No - it won't affect anyone, but it will be in a new tree so they will need to look for it there:

1) find the ancestor profile you want to move
2) click on the gear icon to "modify" the ancestor profile
3) click on the "Move To Another Tree" button in the header
4) select the tree you want to move the profile to
5) check the "include ancestors" if you want to also move all of this profile's ancestors (parents and further back)
6) Press "Move person to selected tree"

That's it - they should be in the new tree now.

Let me know if that helps.

Question About Profile-Centric

Using Jamroom


As long as the profile that holds the content is not private, then it should show up in a search. You can also link directly to the page from elsewhere if needed.

If you are trying to make lists of items, then you can specify the individual profile id's for the content OR you can place them in their own quota and use that in your jrCore_list calls.

There's quite a number of ways - it just depends on how you want to go about it.

Hope this helps!

Glad to hear it!

A Question About Trees

Genosis


Yes - researchers can always work on any tree - the "researchers only" option simply makes that tree only visible to researchers, so you should be good.

Let me know if that helps.

Thanks!

The Main Tree vs The Research Only Tree

Genosis


Researcher trees are handy - here's how I do it:

- I have my "main" (default) tree - the "Johnson and Fisher Family Tree":

http://johnsonfamily.talldude.net/

- When I am working on a branch I feel sure about, I will often just work right in the main tree

- If I am not sure about something and will likely be adding/removing ancestor profiles frequently, I will create a new Researcher only tree and do my work there

- When I feel it is "ready to go" I move the ancestor profiles from the research tree to my main tree and delete the research tree.

That keeps things pretty organized and it has worked really well for me so far. I know not everyone probably works like I do though, so let me know if you do it differently, or feel like Genosis could be updated to fit your work flow better.

Thanks!

The Main Tree vs The Research Only Tree

Right now there is no way to "copy" to a new tree and leave the id's intact, since those id's must be unique system wide (not just in the tree).

However you can move profiles between trees - would that work?

A Question About Trees

Genosis


"Researcher Only" means the tree will only be visible to users who are "researchers" - it won't be visible to the public. If it is unchecked, then the tree will be selectable by non-logged in users via the "trees" drop down at the top of the page (date restrictions are in effect as well).

Let me know if that helps.

Thanks!

Changing domains with Arvixe

Installation and Configuration

Most likely you need to do Arvixe first to make sure the domain is setup properly - it should be resolving before you make the changes to JR or you won't be able to access it - let me know if that makes sense.

Thanks!
