OK User:Daduxing I have now read the above and understand why you asked me for help. I am typing this on a tablet, which is not ideal. I will have a look on a computer in the next 24 hours. In the mean time I am going to recover an old copy of the documentation and edit it. Please take a look at User:Daduxing/familytree and improve it (but give me an hour).

No problem, take your time and thank you very much PBS for help.

I had a look at the code. It is more broken than I thought, as it does not seem to work for familytree templates. Do you know when it stopped working? -- PBS (talk) 16:29, 27 January 2020 (UTC)

I noticed when the Template:Chart was moved to Template:Tree chart because I suspected that it will not recognize the new naming, and verifying, I realized that I was right.
For me it is still working with the old Templates ( chart and familytree), but it is true that it always had a strange error (you could see the last message from this discussion User talk:Daduxing#Help!). --Daduxing (talk) 17:43, 27 January 2020 (UTC)

Can you either provide a link to a tree on which familytree.js still works, or provide a simple tree here. -- PBS (talk) 17:49, 27 January 2020 (UTC)

See my User:Daduxing/sandbox. Especially the first two trees. The first is a familytree and the second is a chart. They all work. You can test there if you like.--Daduxing (talk) 17:59, 27 January 2020 (UTC)

New and modified code

I think I have solved the specific problem of various names for chart and familytree templates. There is now a working version at User:PBS/familytree.js. To test it please implement the following steps.

1. edit User:Daduxing/vector.js
2. remove the line importScript("User:GregU/familytree.js"); -- it is redundant and confusing.
3. alter the line importScript("User:Daduxing/familytree.js"); to importScript("User:PBS/familytree.js");

and run tests. Please report any mistakes to me. Once you are satisfied with the changes then you can copy the code at User:PBS/familytree.js to User:Daduxing/familytree.js and then change the link back in User:Daduxing/vector.js to point to importScript("User:Daduxing/familytree.js"); -- PBS (talk) 11:20, 31 January 2020 (UTC)

Looks good. Thank you very much for fixing it. --Daduxing (talk) 14:42, 31 January 2020 (UTC)

Looking at your code today you need to change the line:

var Summary  = "Edited {{%s}} using [[User:PBS/familytree.js|familytree.js]]";

to:

var Summary  = "Edited {{%s}} using [[User:Daduxing/familytree.js|familytree.js]]";

This is a semi cosmetic change it just affects the summary-- PBS (talk) 16:15, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

How

How can we use this familytree.js?--Kaiyr (talk) 08:33, 22 November 2021 (UTC)

Hi Kaiyr. To install, add:

importScript("User:Daduxing/familytree.js");

to your common.js ( User:Kaiyr/common.js ) or vector.js page ( User:Kaiyr/vector.js ). This adds an option [Templates → Art] to the toolbox menu when editing familytrees. It is a two pass operation. 1. Press [Templates → Art] -- the template code is changed into an intermediate format and the menu option changes to [Art → Templates] 2. Press Art → Templates] -- converts the "Art" back in to cleaned up temlate code. See [1] and [2] --Daduxing (talk) 08:14, 23 November 2021 (UTC)

• I did it. But I dont see any [Templates → Art].--Kaiyr (talk) 11:16, 28 February 2022 (UTC)

@Daduxing@Kaiyr I also have this issue, have either of you solved it? Immanuelle 💗 (please tag me) 21:08, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

@User:Immanuelle and @User:Kaiyr I was fooled by this initially. See the comments at the start of the script.

      // To install, add:   importScript("User:Daduxing/familytree.js");
      // to your common.js page.  This adds an option [Templates → Art]
      // to the toolbox menu when editing familytrees.

The relevant comment is when editing familytrees. This is because the [Templates → Art] option only appears in your side menu when actually editing a familytree. Please comment back here to tell me if this fixed your problem. But please include my user name "@[[User:PBS]]" so I am pinged as I do not watch this page. -- PBS (talk) 09:44, 26 May 2022 (UTC)

Copying markup before publishing/previewing

A key issue that I have come across is the fact that the tool will not prompt you to copy over the translated code into the actual content box--I have lost progress a few times this way after either using the Preview function or publishing, having forgotten to move over the code. Not sure if this is an a common experience, and not entirely sure how the tool could possibly prompt you to do this, but making note of it here. — aoyma3 (talk) 23:56, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
