Family Tree 2

samwilson - November 18, 2005 - 00:31

This module currently has no maintainer. If you are interested in taking over maintainership of this module, please either message pyutaros or create an issue to have the CVS admins grant you access to the module.

WARNING: This module currently has no way of outputting GEDCOM compliant data. An export feature currently in development for the 5.x and 6.x versions.

Family Tree 2 is for recording, displaying and analysing genealogical data. It supports comprehensive individual, family, place (location), event and artifact data records and linking, [and much more]. Dependencies are Views and Token.

6.x-1.x is the current new feature branch of Family Tree 2. While the 4.7 and 5.x-1.x branches (Family Tree 1) are stable release branches at this point, only 5.x-3.x included node creation AND node relationships. The entire database and module structure was scrapped after 5.x-1.4 for a complete redesign. If you used Family prior to this version, you will need to upgrade to 5.x-1.4, export your data, uninstall the module, install the 5.x-3.x version, and import your data.

Here is the current feature list: (check the issue queue for proposed features)

  1. Node types for individuals, family groups, and locations.
  2. Views integration and Token support.
  3. Relationship assignment.
  4. Link users to individuals (started: see /user)
  5. Graphs for ascendancy and descendancy.
  6. Full support for access control by Drupal roles and permissions.
  7. GED file import.

Proposed future feature additions in no particular order:

  • Export to GED file.
  • Make module fields available to Views and CCK.
  • Date and Calendar integration.
  • Family record privacy.
  • Tighter relationship integration with nodes and users.
  • Location integration.
  • Add your feature request.

Family is maintained by Pyutaros with extensive co-maintainership by Microbe. The redesign for the 5.x-3.x branch has had major help and development from Microbe. During Pyutaros' maintainership, the Family module has had additional help from the following individuals: pfolk with some major feature additions, and Seth E Shaw with some new feature implementation as well.
