=head1 OVERVIEW:

When I designed the Family Tree Generator, I wanted more than just an online version of a traditional tree. With this software it is possible to draw a tree of ancestors and descendants for any person, showing any number of generations (where the inf...
Most other web-based "trees" are little more than text listings of people.

A simple datafile contains details of people and their relationships. All the HTML pages are generated on the fly. This means that the tree is easy to maintain.

Note that the tree shows the "genetic" family tree. It contains no information about marriages and adaptation.

For a demonstration of this software, visit http://www.ilab.sztaki.hu/~bodon/Simpsons/cgi/ftree.cgi or http://www.ilab.sztaki.hu/~bodon/ftree2/cgi/ftree.cgi.

The program is written in Perl.
It runs as a CGI program - its output is the HTML of the page that you see.
The program reads in the data file, and analyzes the relationships to determine the ancestors, siblings and descendants of the person selected.
HTML tables are generated to display these trees, linking in the portrait images where they exist.

=head1 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Set up your web server (apache or IIS) so that it can run Perl scripts (e.g. mod-perl).

2. Uncompress and copy the demo package (make sure that you reserve the rights, i.e. files with extension pm, gif, jpg, png, tif, csv, txt, xls must be readable, files with extension cgi and pl must be executable).

3. Modify tree.xls so that it contains the details of your family. Tip: Select the second row, click on menu Window and select Freeze Panels. This will freeze the first row and you can see the title of columns.
   See format description below.

4. Update the config/PerlSettingsImporter.pm file (you can specify the administrator's email, homepage, default language etc.).

5. Copy the pictures of your family members to the pictures directory.

6. That's it.
   Call the ftree.cgi script with no parameters to get your index page.

7. If you are unhappy with the style and colors of the output then point the css_filename entry in PerlSettingsImporter.pm into your stly sheet.

=head1 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR XAMPP for Windows 5.6.12:

Download I use xampp XAMPP for Windows 5.6.12 (https://www.apachefriends.org/ru/download.html) to install and configure Apache

  <IfModule alias_module>
  ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "C:/xampp/cgi-bin/ftree/cgi/"
  </IfModule>

  <Directory "C:/xampp/cgi-bin/ftree/cgi">
  AllowOverride All
  Options None
  Require all granted
  </Directory>

My shebang in ftree.cgi is #!"c:\Dwimperl\perl\bin\perl.exe" (by Gabor Sabo)

  copy c:\xampp\cgi-bin\ftree\graphics\
  to
  c:\xampp\htdocs\graphics\

to correct show images

I catch error couldn't create child process: 720002
------------------------
It was the first line in the .cgi file that needed to be adapted to Xamp's configuration:

  #!"c:\xampp\perl\bin\perl.exe"
  Instead of:

  #!"c:\perl\bin\perl.exe"

=head1 NAME OF THE PICTURE:

  One picture may belong to each person.
  No image put here and name=id.jpg
  c:\xampp\cgi-bin\ftree\pictures\

=head1 DATAFILE FORMAT:

  The program can handle excel, csv (txt), gedcom, serialized files and can get data from database. Follow these rules to decide which one to use:
  1, Use gedcom if you already have your family tree data in a gedcom file and the fields that the program is able to import is sufficient.
  2, Use the excel format if you just started to build your family tree data.
  3, Convert your data file into serialized format if the data file contains many people (like some thousand) and you would like to reduce response time and memory need.

  Data format history:
  Originally the input file was a csv flat file with semicolon as the separator. It could store 6 fields for each person (name, father name, mother name, email, webpage, date of birth/death). As new fields were required (like gender, place of birth, ...

  We encourage everybody to use the excel format. To convert from the csv format to the excel format, use script script/convertFormat.pl

  TIP 1.: Maintain your family tree data in excel using the Form option. Select all the columns, then press DATA->Form. It is convenient to add new people or to modify information of existing persons.
  TIP 2.: Freeze the first line so that header does not disappear when scrolling down.

=head1 The excel format:

  The excel format is quite straightforward based on the example file. Each row (except the header) represents a person. The fields are:
   * ID: the ID of the person. It can be anything (like 123 or Bart_Simpson), but it should only contain alphanumeric characters and underscore (no whitespace is allowed).
   * title: like: Dr., Prof.
   * prefix: like: sir
   * first name
   * middle name
   * last Name
   * suffix: like: VIII
   * nickname
   * father's ID
   * mother's ID
   * email
   * webpage
   * date of birth: the format is day/month/year, like: 24/3/1977
   * date of death: the format is day/month/year, like: 24/3/1977
   * gender: 0 for male, 1 female
   * is living?: 0 for live 1 for dead
   * place of birth: the format is: "country" "city". The city part may be omitted. Quotation marks are mandatory.
   * place of death: the format is: "country" "city". The city part may be omitted. Quotation marks are mandatory.
   * cemetery: the format is: "country" "city" "cemetery", like: "USA" "Washington D.C." "Arlington National Cemetery"
   * schools: use comma as separator, like: Harward, MIT
   * jobs: use comma as separator
