Work on integrating genealogy

Mon, 02/11/2008 - 22:32 — freephile

I've been running phpGedview as the genealogy software for Rundlett.com What I'd like to do is make it completely integrated with the rest of the site so that you can move seemlessly between regular content, photo and blog systems and the genealogy system. In fact Drupal (the content management application) users have already been at work on the same goal, and so I just have to add to their efforts.

There is the Genealogy Group on groups.drupal.org http://groups.drupal.org/genealogy

And, KarenS has created the phpGedview module for Drupal
http://drupal.org/project/phpgedview

Downloaded and reviewed the code

Last night I downloaded and reviewing the module for integrating phpGedView into Drupal. I'm hoping to set things up now, and would even like to help port the module to D6 if I can find the time. (I'm sure that Karen is busy on CCK and more.)

There are some interesting 'todo's that would also be neat feature adds:
#1 would be making it work without an iframe - although this is said to be infeasible.

  • Add more synchronization of users between Drupal and PGV
  • Add Drupal blocks that pull data from PGV.
  • Add PGV events to Drupal calendars.
  • Create Drupal nodes from selected PGV records.
  • Add PGV search to Drupal search.
  • Add PGV info to user profiles.
