I started my family tree online http://www.myheritage.com/site-16102071/czaplinski about 2 years ago, I have more then 1230 family members and 60 site members.Many of my site members were able to help me in building the tree by adding and additing information . Few days ago , trying different options, I accidently exported GEDCOM file and switched my family tree to one that only I can addit in FTB. I read, that I am able to import the GEDCOM file back online, but doing it I will loose all my pictures, and I dont want that to happen. Ther are about 1000 pictures and same amount people to tag, too many to do it manualy. I would like to go back to managing my family tree strictly online , like I have been doing it before. At this point I am affraid keep trying things on my own, so I won't loose everything I have worked so hard on. I would appreciate your help in this matter,
from what i understand "restore project" only works from the website to the software. I'm trying to go from the software to the website without loosing photos. Perhaps there is something elses to try?
To go from the software to the websit without losing photos you can:
Publish your tree to your family site. If you want to continue working on the tree from your site, as opposed to from Family Tree Builder, then I can change the type of tree for you from a FTB tree to a WEB tree that is editable online for you and your members.
You are correct that exporting a Gedcom from Family Tree Builder and then reimporting the tree to your family site, will not include your photos.
I live in a country that is 18 hours ahead (GMT 12) of the USA. I receive my calendar alert emails at 7:30am but the messages in the email are 1 day out. e.g. It says there is a birthday today but it was actually yesterday! I guess the servers are in the USA so are using the US date/time to decide what to send and when.
Each recipient of the emails could be in a different time zone. The emails need to take into account the date/time of the person receiving the email. Maybe you need to look at the physical address of the person or have a field in their profile so that they can enter their date/time offset.
Then rather than sending the emails only once each day (presumable you do them at about midnight US time) you would need to run it each hour and send the emails for all recipients who just had a midnight. The same number of emails would be sent but they would be sent throughout the 24hour day and would have the correct date content.
I just also noticed that within the website it is doing the same thing.
Right now in my country it is the 8th of January. There is a person in my tree who has a birthday today but the website is saying it is his birthday tomorrow.
dziękujemy za zapytanie. Panie Marku - niestety nie wiemy jeszcze dokładnie kiedy będzie ten błąd naprawiony. Jednakże jak to nastąpi poinformujemy Państwa na forum.
When I invite a new female member to my site the email sent out uses their maiden name.
In the invite member list the name is shown correctly but the email to the person is incorrect and from then on the site refers to the person using their maiden name not their married name.
It does not happen for every woman so I did some checking and it appears to be for woman who have got devorced. In this case it appears MyHeritage assumes the woman is now using her maiden name which is not correct unless she changes her name back legally. FTB shows the correct married name for these woman.
I found another situation where the names are incorrect.
If 2 people are listed as partners in FTB i.e. they were never married then when published the woman is shown with per partners surname.
Have the developers made any progress on these name bugs? I get emails every week from woman in my tree asking for their surname to be corrected and I can't fix it.
There are many examples I can give where the web site does not match what FTB shows.
Create a couple and mark them are "partners". Add a child. Add a "divorced" event.
In FTB it shows the mother with the correct name. On the web it shows her with the fathers surname ?????
If you change the "divorced" event to "separation" then it shows correctly.
So using divorced somehow tricks it to think the people were at one stage married which they were not.
But the problem is the publishing between FTB and the web site. All the names show correctly in FTB but there are a number of problems on the website.
The persons name is showing correctly on the web account but incorrectly when emails are sent or in the family news entries that refer to her.
e.g. The person had a birthday and the news item said "aaaaaaaa bbbbbbbb (born cccccc) turned 44" . She never changed her name to bbbbbbbb so it should have just said "aaaaaaaa cccccc turned 44".
