![]() ![]() It also allows the developer to not worry about security and other non-genealogy features. My request is to allow those who want to use TNG the same way to allow them, but to allow others the ability to use the additional directions having a CMS allows. This is a forum requesting new ideas and suggestions. That's what making it an addon for a cms would allow, it would allow you to extend as far as you want, or just keep doing it the same way. ![]() Again, there are thousands in any of the CMS's. They add a tooltip, create a new report, but overall, not very many and not very robust. There are maybe 50 mods on the TNG mod site, non really give increased functionality. Joomla or WP have hundreds, if not thousands of templates to choose from. Lets be honest, 15 templates in TNG and they are in my opinion quite ugly. TNG gives that but in a way that makes it very difficult to customize. If you are using TNG instead of a desktop program, you want to because of the on-line presentation. This is a win win, everyone using TNG would be happy. That is a win for people who want a full site and really very little change for those who don't. If TNG was written like an addon for joomla or wordpress, those looking to integrate will be sucessful and those who onlt want the TNG funcionality will just use the bare minimum og a CMS to display TNG. Integrating is difficult sometimes impossible. Right now those who want a full featured site that includes TNG are basically fighting an uphill battle. That's the most disappointing thing for me. I have spent more time trying unsuccessfully to integrate them then i have spent trying to add content to my site. Had I realized how difficult it would be, i would have looked further for a different on-line genealogy program or i would have just kept them totally separate. I like TNG and will continue to use it, but i am very disappointed at the ability to integrate. Do it for whatever CMS you like, but it would allow you to focus on TNG features related to genealogy and allow all the other stuff like security, themes, photo's etc to be handled by a CMS that has a much wider base of developers. I have no vested interest in WP, I came from a Joomla world, but i saw before i decided that there were more integrations for WP than for Joomla, so i switched to WP. ![]() Compare that to installing a mod in TNG, no comparison. Installing a mod in WP, is simple and requires nothing other than install and activate. Allow the features that WP or Joomla have and can be installed simply to provide features. ![]() Extend the WP login and profile to accommodate additional info. My requests is to rethink the architecture of TNG, choose a CMS and make it a native addon for that CMS. The entire process of integrating into WP is too cumbersome and fraught with so many obstacles. I am at the point where I can get TNG pages to open in a wordpress iframe, and I can log into WP and it will log me into TNG, but when i create a new user in WP, it does not create in TNG and if i use a TNG widget on a WP page, it opens the initial TNG page in WP, but any selection from that page, takes you out of the WP site. I have tried every method to get them to work seamlessly and i can't. I have been struggling with integrating TNG and Wordpress. ![]()
