Integrates TNG (The Next Generation) genealogy software into Wordpress.


== Description ==

[http://lythgoes.net/genealogy/software.php The Next Generation] is a powerful PHP/MySQL script that acts as a central repository for all your genealogy research, and allows others to view and search through your records. This plugin integrates TNG with your Wordpress site. This plugin is free, but to use it you need to purchase TNG (currently $32.99).

#### Note ####

The update of this plugin to Version 9.0.0 is to bring the version number in line with compatible TNG Version numbers. TNG-WordPress Plugin Version 9.0.0 is compatible with TNG Version 9.0.x and TNG 10.0.x. It is NOT compatible with TNG 10.1.x or higher (TNG 11 etc).

#### Features ####

1. Displays TNG within Wordpress with no iFrames (great for SEO!), on whichever page you choose.
2. Requires no mods, and overwrites no core files. Just upload the plugin to your Wordpress plugins folder.
3. Optionally puts the TNG menu into Wordpress sidebar, and optionally adds a search box there, too.
4. Optionally integrates Wordpress and TNG sign-on - effectively merges TNG and Wordpress users.
5. TNG and Wordpress are kept in separate folders for easy upgrading.
6. TNG and Wordpress can share the same database, or you can keep them separate.
7. Compatible with custom themes and TNG mods.

#### Demo ####

You can view this plugin in action at [http://lisaandroger.com/genealogy/getperson.php?personID=I16&tree=Roger Roger's Online Genealogy].

#### Limitations ####

1. 'Pretty' permalinks must be turned on.
2. It may not work with IIS (Windows server).

== Installation ==

1. Upload TNG to your server if youve not already done so, and enter the database connection details in config.php. Youll probably also need to change $rootpath to point to the folder you installed TNG in.
2. Create a blank page on your Wordpress site where you want TNG to be displayed. Unfortunately, this cannot be your home page.
3. Copy the tng-wordpress-plugin folder (from the plugin .zip file) into your Wordpress plugins folder (or use the install plugin option in Wordpress Admin).
4. Choose options from the new TNG menu that appears, and set the path to your TNG installation, and confirm the page you want TNG to be displayed on.
5. Add the TNG widgets at the top of your sidebar. By default they are displayed on your "not TNG" pages.
6. Thats it (hopefully!)
7. A comprehensive step by step is contained on the [TNG Wiki](http://tng.lythgoes.net/wiki/index.php?title=Using_TNG_and_WordPress_with_the_tng-wordpress-plugin)
