What you should understand about MM.There are many formats of MM. Although
webtrees can handle most of them, there some things to consider.
- Formats
Pictures can be edited and saved in many formats. For example, .jpg, .png, .bmp, .gif, etc. If the same original picture was used to create each of the formats, the viewed image will appear to be the same size no matter which format is used. However, the image files stored in the database will vary considerably in size. Generally, .jpg images are considered to the most efficient in terms of storage space. - Image size
The larger the original image, the larger will be the resultant file\'s size. The picture should fit on the screen without scrolling; the maximum width or height should not be more than the width or height of the screen. webtrees is designed for screens of 1024x768 pixels but not all of this space is available for viewing pictures; the picture\'s size should be set accordingly. To reduce file sizes, smaller pictures are more desirable. - Resolution
The resolution of a picture is usually measured in "dpi" (dots/inch), but this is valid only for printed pictures. When considering pictures shown on screen, the only correct way is to use total dots or pixels. When printed, the picture could have a resolution of 150 - 300 dpi or more depending on the printer. Screen resolutions are rarely better than 50 pixels per inch. If your picture will never be printed, you can safely lower its resolution (and consequently its file size) without affecting picture quality. If a low-resolution picture is printed with too great a magnification, its quality will suffer; it will have a grainy appearance. - Color depth
Another way to keep a file small is to decrease the number of colors that you use. The number of colors can differ from pure black and white (two colors) to true colors (millions of colors) and anything in between. You can see that the more colors are used, the bigger the size of the files.
Why is it important to keep the file size small?- First of all: Our webspace is limited. The more large files there are, the more web space we need on the server. The more space we need, the higher our costs.
- Bandwidth. The more data our server has to send to the remote location (your location), the more we have to pay. This is because the carrying capacity of the server\'s connection to the Internet is limited, and the link has to be shared (and paid for) by all of the applications running on the server. webtrees is one of many applications that share the server. The cost is normally apportioned according to the amount of data each application sends and receives.
- Download time. If you have large files, the user (also you) will have to wait long for the page to download from the server. Not everybody is blessed with a cable connection, broadband or DSL.
How to upload your MMThere are two ways to upload media to the site. If you have a lot of media items to upload you should contact the site administrator to discuss the best ways. If it has been enabled by your site administrator, you can use the Upload Media form under your My Page menu. You can also use the Upload option on the Multimedia form to upload media items.');

- If you are missing a part of the date, you can omit that part. E.g. MAR 1801 or 14 DEC.
- If you are not sure or the date is not confirmed, you could enter ABT MAR 1801 (abt = about), BEF 20 DEC 1950 (bef = before), AFT 1949 (aft = after)
- Date ranges are entered as FROM MAR 1801 TO 20 DEC 1810 or as BET MAR 1801 AND 20 DEC 1810 (bet = between)
The FROM form indicates that the event being described happened continuously between the stated dates and is used with events such as employment. The BET form indicates a single occurrence of the event, sometime between the stated dates and is used with events such as birth.
Imprecise dates, where the day of the month or the month is missing, are always interpreted as the first or last possible date, depending on whether that imprecise date occurs before or after the separating keyword. For example, FEB 1804 is interpreted as 01 FEB 1804 when it occurs before the TO or AND, and as 29 FEB 1804 when it occurs after the TO or AND.
Be sure to enter dates and abbreviations in English, because then the GEDCOM file is exchangeable and
webtrees can translate all dates and abbreviations properly into the currently active language. Furthermore,

ANSI (ISO-8859-1).
The format you need depends on the program you use to work with your downloaded GEDCOM file. If you aren\'t sure, consult the documentation of that program.
Note that for special characters to remain unchanged, you will need to keep the file in UTF-8 and convert it to your program\'s method for handling these special characters by some other means. Consult your program\'s manufacturer or author.

A quote from the Introduction to the GEDCOM 5.5.1 Standard:GEDCOM was developed by the Family History Department of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) to provide a flexible, uniform format for exchanging computerized genealogical data. GEDCOM is an acronym for GEnealogical Data Communication.

- ~GRAMPS XML Database file~
A quote from GRAMPS Project: GRAMPS helps you track your family tree. It allows you to store, edit, and research genealogical data. GRAMPS attempts to provide all of the common capabilities of other genealogical programs, but, more importantly, to provide an additional capability of integration not common to these programs. This is the ability to input any bits and pieces of information directly into GRAMPS and rearrange/manipulate any/all data events in the entire data base (in any order or sequence) to assist the user in doing research, analysis and correlation with the potential of filling relationship gaps.
A copy of the GRAMPS XML format v1.1.0 can be found here in both RELAX NG Schema format and DTD format.

GEDCOM definitionA quote from the Introduction to the GEDCOM 5.5.1 Standard:
GEDCOM was developed by the Family History Department of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) to provide a flexible, uniform format for exchanging computerized genealogical data. GEDCOM is an acronym for GEnealogical Data Communication. Its purpose is to foster the sharing of genealogical information and the development of a wide range of inter-operable software products to assist genealogists, historians, and other researchers.
A copy of the GEDCOM 5.5.1
draft Standard, to which
webtrees adheres, can be downloaded in PDF format here:
GEDCOM 5.5.1 Standard This Standard is only available in English.
The GEDCOM file contains all the information about the family. All facts, dates, events, etc. are stored here. GEDCOM files have to follow strict rules because they must be exchangeable between many programs, independent of platforms or operating systems.
Dates in a GEDCOM fileAlthough the date field allows for free-form entry (meaning you can type in whatever you want), there are some rules about how dates should be entered according to the GEDCOM 5.5.1 standard.
- A full date is entered in the form DD MMM YYYY. For example, 01 MAR 1801 or 14 DEC 1950.
- If you are missing a part of the date, you can omit that part. E.g. MAR 1801 or 14 DEC.
- If you are not sure or the date is not confirmed, you could enter ABT MAR 1801 (abt = about), BEF 20 DEC 1950 (bef = before), AFT 1949 (aft = after)
- Date ranges are entered as FROM MAR 1801 TO 20 DEC 1810 or as BET MAR 1801 AND 20 DEC 1810 (bet = between)
The FROM form indicates that the event being described happened continuously between the stated dates and is used with events such as employment. The BET form indicates a single occurrence of the event, sometime between the stated dates and is used with events such as birth.
Imprecise dates, where the day of the month or the month is missing, are always interpreted as the first or last possible date, depending on whether that imprecise date occurs before or after the separating keyword. For example, FEB 1804 is interpreted as 01 FEB 1804 when it occurs before the TO or AND, and as 29 FEB 1804 when it occurs after the TO or AND.
Be sure to enter dates and abbreviations in English, because then the GEDCOM file is exchangeable and
webtrees can translate all dates and abbreviations properly into the currently active language. Furthermore,
webtrees does calculations using these dates. If improper dates are entered into date fields,
webtrees will not be able to calculate properly.
You can click on the Calendar icon for help selecting a date.
Location levelsThis shows the levels that are displayed now. The list box showing places is actually a sublist of the leftmost level.
EXAMPLE:
The default order is City, County, State/Province, Country.
If the current level is "Top Level", the box will list all the countries in the database.
If the current level is "U.S.A., Top Level", the box will list all the states in the U.S.A.
etc.
You can click a level to go back one or more steps.');

- The Choice element specifies the fact itself or related details.

This feature is meant to hide certain facts, identified by GEDCOM tags, for all individuals alive or dead. By default the SSN tag is hidden to public users. This is to prevent people from stealing social security numbers and committing identity theft of dead persons. This is probably mostly relevant for the USA.

Choice "Show fact"

Be sure to always use both start and end tags. It may help to have an understanding of HTML appropriate for a web site administrator. This program uses Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) as well. A different CSS is implemented for each theme. You can use classes from these style sheets to control the appearance of your messages.
If you need more help with this, the webtrees web site has some examples of how to use these tags in your GEDCOM News block.
As with the FAQ list, GEDCOM News titles and News text allow embedded references to $pgv_lang, $factarray, and $GLOBALS variables to provide complete flexibility in the creation of News items that are sensitive to the currently active language.
The following description, taken from the Help text for the FAQ list, is equally applicable to GEDCOM News items.
HTML entities are a very easy way to add special characters to your FAQ titles and text. You can use symbolic names, decimal numbers, or hexadecimal numbers. A complete list of HTML entities, their coding, and their representation by your browser can be found here: HTML entity lists
On occasion, you may need to show a Tilde character ~ or a Number Sign # in your URLs or text. These characters have a special meaning to the webtrees Help system and can only be entered in their hexadecimal or decimal form. Similarly, the < and > characters that usually enclose HTML tags must be entered in their hexadecimal or decimal forms if they are to be treated as normal text instead of signalling an HTML tag.- # or # will result in #
- < or < will result in <
- > or > will result in >
- ~ or ~ will result in ~
There is a ˜ HTML entity, but this symbol is not interpreted as a Tilde when coded in URLs.
You can insert references to entries in the language files or to values of global variables. Examples: - #pgv_lang[add_to_cart]# is a reference to the language variable "Add to Clippings Cart", and if it were to appear in this field, would show as Add to Clippings Cart when the FAQ list is viewed in the current language.
- #factarray[AFN]# is a reference to the Fact name $factarray["AFN"], and if it were to appear in this field, would show as Ancestral File Number (AFN) when the FAQ list is viewed in the current language.
- #WT_VERSION# #WT_VERSION_RELEASE# is a reference to the constant WT_VERSION, a space, and a reference to the constant WT_VERSION_RELEASE, and if they were to appear in this field, would show as #WT_VERSION# #WT_VERSION_RELEASE# when the FAQ list is viewed in the current language.
- #GLOBALS[GEDCOM]# is a reference to the global variable $GEDCOM, which is the name of the current GEDCOM file. If it were to appear in this field, it would show as #GLOBALS[GEDCOM]#.
- #GLOBALS[GEDCOM_TITLE]# is a reference to the global variable $GEDCOM_TITLE, which is the title of the current GEDCOM file. If it were to appear in this field, it would show as #GLOBALS[GEDCOM_TITLE]#.
This feature is useful when you wish to create FAQ lists that are different for each language your site supports. You should put your customized FAQ list titles and entries into the languages/extra.xx.php files (xx is the code for each language), using the following format:
$pgv_lang["faq_title1"] = "This is a sample FAQ title";
$pgv_lang["faq_body1"] = "This is a sample FAQ body.";');

Suppose you type in the Search box the following: Pete. The result could be, assuming the names are in the database:Pete Smith
Peter Johnes
Will Peterson
somebody --Born 01 January 1901 Petersburg
etc.
Dates
Typing a year in the Search box will result in a list of individuals who are somehow connected to that year.
If you type 1950, the result will be all individuals with an event that occurred in 1950. These events could be births, deaths, marriages, Bar Mitzvahs, LDS Sealings, etc.
If you type 4 Dec, all persons connected to an event that occurred on 4 December of whatever year will be listed. Persons connected to an event on 14 or 24 December will be listed as well. As you see, wildcards are always assumed, so you do not have to type them. Sometimes, the results can be surprising.
Proper dates
webtrees searches for data, as they are stored in the GEDCOM file. If, for example, you want to search for an event on December 14, you should type 14 dec because this is how the date is stored in the database.
If you were to type dec 14, the result could be a person connected to an event on 08 december 1814. Again, the results can be surprising.
You can use regular expressions in your search if you are familiar with them. For example, if you wanted to find all of the people who have dates in the 20th century, you could enter the search 19[0-9][0-9] and you would get all of the people with dates from 1900-1999.

~Search the way you think the name is written (Soundex)~
Soundex is a method of coding words according to their pronunciation. This allows you to search the database for names and places when you don\'t know precisely how they are written. webtrees supports two different Soundex algorithms that produce vastly different results.- Basic
This method, patented in 1918 by Russell, is very simple and can be done by hand.
Because the Basic method retains the first letter of the name as part of the resultant code, it is not very helpful when you are unsure of that first letter. The Basic algorithm is not well suited to names that were originally in languages other than English, and even with English names the results are very surprising. For example, a Basic Soundex search for Smith will return not only Smith, Smid, Smit, Schmidt, Smyth, Smithe, Smithee, Schmitt, all of which are clearly variations of Smith, but also Smead, Sneed, Smoote, Sammett, Shand, and Snoddy.
- Daitch-Mokotoff
This method, developed in 1985, is much more complex than the Basic method and is not easily done by hand.
A Soundex search using this method produces much more accurate results.
For details on both Soundex algorithms, visit this Jewish Genealogical Society web page.
~Search and Replace~
Here, you can search for a misspelling or other inaccurate information and replace it with correct information.
Searching
This feature performs searching just like a normal search.
Replacing
All instances of the search term that are found are replaced by the replacement term in the database.
For Example...
Suppose you accidentally misspell your great-grandpa Michael\'s name. You accidentally entered \'Micheal.\'
You would type Micheal in the Search box, and Michael in the Replace box.
Every instance of "Micheal" would then be replaced by "Michael"
Search for...
Select the scope of the search. You can limit the search to names or places, or apply no limit (search everything). The Whole words only option will only search for your term in the place field as a whole word. This means that searching for UT would only match UT and not UT in the other words such as Connecticut.
Don\'t worry if you accidentally replace something where you don\'t want to. Just click the "Accept/Reject Changes" link at the bottom of the page to accept the changes you want, and reject the changes you don\'t want.
If you need more help with this searching system, please let us know, so that we can improve this Help file as well.');

Searching
This feature performs searching just like a normal search.
Replacing
All instances of the search term that are found are replaced by the replacement term in the database.
For Example...
Suppose you accidentally misspell your great-grandpa Michael\'s name. You accidentally entered \'Micheal.\'
You would type Micheal in the Search box, and Michael in the Replace box.
Every instance of "Micheal" would then be replaced by "Michael"
Search for...
Select the scope of the search. You can limit the search to names or places, or apply no limit (search everything). The Whole words only option will only search for your term in the place field as a whole word. This means that searching for UT would only match UT and not UT in the other words such as Connecticut.
Don\'t worry if you accidentally replace something where you don\'t want to. Just click the "Accept/Reject Changes" link at the bottom of the page to accept the changes you want, and reject the changes you don\'t want.

This method, patented in 1918 by Russell, is very simple and can be done by hand.
Because the Basic method retains the first letter of the name as part of the resultant code, it is not very helpful when you are unsure of that first letter. The Basic algorithm is not well suited to names that were originally in languages other than English, and even with English names the results are very surprising. For example, a Basic Soundex search for Smith will return not only Smith, Smid, Smit, Schmidt, Smyth, Smithe, Smithee, Schmitt, all of which are clearly variations of Smith, but also Smead, Sneed, Smoote, Sammett, Shand, and Snoddy.
- Daitch-Mokotoff
