Feature Request / Merging

[martingeusen]

Hello Jefferson49

Good Job!!

what about a merge-functionality. Or is that even already possible with filters?
We could frequently merge two or more trees and check with "find duplicates" if there are new relations.

Hello Martin,

thank you very much for the positive feedback!

We could frequently merge two or more trees and check with "find duplicates" if there are new relations.

The current filter concept only works for single trees or single GEDCOM files. Therefore, merging is not possible.

What I could imagine is to enable remote requests to trigger the exisiting webtrees feature for merging of trees.

In the control panel, you can choose "Family trees" / "Merge family trees". Afterwards, a menu opens to select a tree, which is supposed to be merged into another tree.

Would a remote request to trigger this feature (and select two trees) meet your requirements, which you intended with the feature request?

Regards,

Markus

Hello Markus

yes that would work.

But often it happens, that there is an additional "Renumber XREFs" required. This could force to develop an additional remote request.
I would do it on myself, but my php-knowledge is too poor.

From first inspection, ist seems to be possible to call both "Renumber XREFs" and "Merge family trees" by a remote request.

I will try to add it in the next version of the module.
