I don’t think I ever had this active but discovered it yesterday. Set parameters for birth/death to match what’s available in Archives. I couldn’t determine the delimiter for export as CSV so doing cleanup 🙂

Note: This is good report, which I was doing manually inExcel. Only option I don’t need is Source. Clutters each of the block, IMO.

Thats a fair point. Try the attached replacement file in “module.zip” at the bottom of this reply. (Not to be confused with the other attachment image)..

Extract and upload to kiwitrees/modules_v4/report_vital_records/module.php

Now you can exclude either or both the sources and the parent details.

Can’t remember if we’ve discussed this before or not. Have you tried saving it to a PDF file? That would get you a digital output (with or without sources, as per update attached) that looks like this:

You shouldn’t have any problems creating a PDF directly from any browser on your MAC system. This link should work for any version: https://appleinsider.com/articles/19/02/15/how-to-make-pdfs-in-macos-mojave-without-any-extra-software#:~:text=Go%20to%20File%2C%20Print%20and,it’s%20a%20drop%2Ddown%20menu.

Edited 23 Sep 2020: replacement module.php file removed. replaced by another version in later post.

Ha, Ha, Mac did PDFs long before Windows as a built-in OS feature. Yes, a PDF is possible however need a fie I can edit. I add the person’s Reference No as well as data needed to find them at the Archives. I have a base file to work with, will manually add to to keep it updated.

Will try the replacement file in the morning (here).For this round, the parents are helpful.

Got to test the modules.php file. It didn’t work. When I chose “Vital Statistics” report, it went to blank page. Put the original file back, it worked as before. Will leave for now as I want to use as much time as possible on Ancestry before they lock out (remote access).

That’s a shame. It would be REALLY nice to know what the problem is before I release this version to the rest of the world 🙁
A blank page is a pretty basic fatal error. Certainly it will have an error message on your server’s error log.

I have it (identical new file) on my own site and use it regularly without a problem.

Made myself a note to try tomorrow (my time in afternoon or evening). Will check Admin > Logs after I see the blank page.

No, don’t look in Admin > Logs. It won’t be there. I specifically said “your server’s error log.” Perhaps I should have said “your web server’s error log”.

Weary eyes. Went down that road. Can’t access error logs as my site is on shared servers. Going to sleep. Will try again tomorrow.

I lied. Couldn’t go to sleep. Was curious about the report. Went to your Wedgewood demo site and saw the report. Switched to the same theme and made type smaller. Loaded the module.php to my Royals/Rebbes site. Same thing, goes to blank page. I’ve left it in that state if you want to see.

My A-D site, I restored to past state (older version) of module.php for now. At least I see what change you made (no sources). Are the labels (father, mother, date) there to facilitate CSV export?

I meant my own personal site, not DEMO. That one always shows the current stable release. I experiment on my personal site. Try: https://www.our-families.info/module.php?mod=report_vital_records&mod_action=show

Thanks, but there’s nothing I can do for a “blank page” error. That means it’s a server issue. Your site is issuing a “forbidden to access” error for that page (code 403). Only your web host, looking at the error report on the server can you tell you the cause. Only then can I suggest where the problem might be. I actually never come across a server provider that blocks access to logs. Certainly to the core logs shared by all clients, but each account should also have their own, accessible ideally via cPanel or PhpMyAdmin.

Actually, no. Wrong on both counts. The reason for no sources is that there are literally no sources on that tiny GEDCOM file. So you can’t see what isn’t there. 🙂

The parent labels are there to aid identification, and add more info for those who need it. Also, because they (as well as the sources, have been there ever since PGV days! When I “improved” all the reports I kept the content pretty much the same, just sorted out the awful displays.

You will get a better idea of the new changes to Vital records report on my personal site.
