The Next Generation Integration

arturoramos - January 23, 2007 - 13:53

This module integrates the Drupal user table with the user table of Darrin Lythgoe's The Next Generation (TNG) genealogy software such that users are able to have accounts created automatically for them in TNG, users are seamlessly and automatically logged on to TNG when accessing the software from within Drupal and administrators are able to assign and change basic TNG database privileges from within the Drupal user interface. The module requires no modifications to TNG software.

This module has gone through a major overhaul as of March 17, 2008 and a new 6.x branch has been developed from that overhauled code. The major new features of the module include using user IDs instead of usernames for intergration of the two user tables and the ability for administrators to assign and change basic TNG privileges from within the Drupal user interface. If you downloaded one of the initial versions of the overhauled 5.x module (versions below 2.4), please download the most recent version as there were significant bugs that have now been addressed.

The overhaul is only for the 5.x and 6.x branches. A 4.6 branch also exists but is no longer maintained.

The 6.x branch is currently in beta testing and while it has been tested by a number of users, there may still be glitches associated with it.
