The Next Generation of Genealogy Sitebuilding version 5.0 has received its first update (version 5.0.1). The Next Generation of Genealogy Sitebuilding© (“TNG”) is a powerful way to manage and display your genealogy data on the Internet, all without generating a single page of HTML. Instead, your information is stored in MySQL database tables and dynamically displayed in attractive fashion with PHP (a scripting language). Version 5.0.1 is based on bugs users reported during the first week or so of the Version 5.0 release.
Updates:
It includes minor changes to almost 50 different files. Most are fixes for bugs reported by various users during the first week of 5.0’s release. There are also 1 or 2 very minor enhancements.
Updates:
- * Dates & Anniversaries page was showing living information, even if you weren’t logged in (fixed).
* Instructions for Nuke users added to historytemplate.php.
* Link at the bottom of “Show Repository” screen to display additional linked sources was invalid (fixed).
* Some e-mail functions were not compatible with alternate character sets (fixed, although some issues remain).
* The new lines added to genstyle.css for 5.0 contained a small error. the entry for “lightlink3” contained an erroneous reference to “lightlink2:active”. That should also say “lightlink3:active” (fixed for new installs).
*Passwords for new registrations were being entered into the database unencrypted (fixed).
* Remaining photos were out of sequence when some were converted to documents or headstones (fixed for future operations).
