As the Admin. Of my family research, When I add a member I thought they couldn't edit the work on the site? I had a member edit a entry on the site yesterday? The good thing is he is a cousin who I asked to join to make sure my Info. was correct.
You can also prevent people from editing site content by going to Setting tab > Privacy & change the settings for "Can site members edit the family tree" & "Can site members post content on the site".
Personally, I don't advise doing that. The fact people you invite can add data helps you.
Family sites are meant to be collaborative so by default, the site members that you invite (not just everybody) *can* edit the information and improve it. If you are not interested in them changing anything, please instruct them not to do this, either in the welcome message of the site, or by sending all site members a message (via Home > Site Members > Send e-mail to all members). There is also a setting that prevents site members from making changes so only you could make them. It is not working properly and we intend to fix it soon.
PS: you posted this item in the wrong place in the forums. It will be moved soon.
A minha árvore foi criada a partir de "meusparentes" e tem sido mantida através do FTB; mais tarde tentei criar um site para geri-lo on-line mas não me consegui entender com ele (problema meu, por isso já o tinha batizado por "Sustelo Burro") , pelo que o eliminei, embora ainda apareça a referência a ele nas pesquisas via Comunidade/Sítios da Família/ Área de Sítio; numa segunda tentativa acabei por criar um outro site on-line (Padre Sustelo) mas só mais tarde percebi que o devia ter criado no FTB e publicado depois. Pelas consultas que fiz no Forum parece-me que estas funções só podem ser feitas pelo gestor do DB pelo que, e resumindo, podem dar-me uma ajuda para conseguir eliminar estes dois sites?
MyHeritage Research still does not work for browsers other than Internet Explorer. The last post I found about this subject was over a year ago. I have been using Firefox since it first came out and now Google Chrome on a Linux machine. So I don't use or have Internet Explorer whatever version.
I suppose MyHeritage need to use an archaic browser...?
Is there a way that when I invite one of my family members to view the family tree, when they log on they see the entire tree and not just their immediate family?
If your tree has a widow/widower and this marriage produced two children, and the spouse then remarried and the second marriage produced no children, how can you show on the family tree both spouses? If you put in the second spouse, although the first spouse remains in the info portion, she/he is eliminated appearing on the tree.
Since many people are widowed or divorced nowadays, this seems like something that should be able to be shown.
Currently, it is not possible to show two spouses at once in Family Tree Builder. You can always access the other spouse by clicking on the other spouse's name in that person's box.
1) Since you are publishing your tree from Family Tree Builder, you can only add information in the program, and not online. You can read more about that here:
2) To Associate a photo in Family Tree Builder, go to the photos section, double click on the relevant photo, go to the association tab and add the association.
In the online family site, you can tag a photo in the Photos and Videos page. Click on the relevant photo, and click on 'Add another person'
If one photograph is associated with, for instance, 4 different individuals on a tree, does it use 4 times the space towards the maximum capacity or the same space as if it were just associated with 1 person? thank you.
I have created two separate trees - one for my family and another for my husband's family. I didn't realize I had to create a second site, so they are both listed under the same site, but with different tree names. I do not want them both published to the same members, as one tree is of no interest to the other. When I'm working on my husband's tree and I publish it, then it asks if I want to visit site and of course it takes me to my own tree. What do I do now to avoid having to create this whole tree all over again and avoid both trees going to the same members? Hope you can help me! Many thanks....Gail
If you have different trees, and would like different members to have access to it, here is what I suggest that you do:
Go to your account, and to MySites, on the top right of the screen. Create a new site for one of the trees.
Then invite the family members that are relevant to that site.
Then go back to Family Tree Builder, and publish the tree that you intended it for, to the new site. Please see the following post in our FAQ regarding this:
Thank you for this, Esther. However, now, when I "Publish to My Heritage.com", one of my trees is listed in duplicate and publishes twice. Also, invites are sent twice. How do I correct this? thanks again!
Please go to Family Tree Builder, and to Publishing on the toolbar > Publishing Settings. From there, you will see a list of all publishing requests to your site(s). select any that are duplicates, and then select 'remove publishing'.
This will remove that Publishing request, the next time that you publish from your Family Tree Builder.
Esther, I hope I've not gotten myself into trouble here and I apologize for being such a nuisance. I tried to delete the FALLENDER TREE myself, and now the LEONARD TREE tells me I have no more space in my premium account. I know this cannot be the case. I do not want to lose the LEONARD TREE or anything on it. Please advise - I'm tearing my hair out! Gail
Having sent you the screen shots you requested, I have now decided that I want to delete the FALLENDER TREE. It is using up too much of my paid space and I do not want to upgrade again. I only want to retain my LEONARD TREE, which is the largest one. I've deleted all individuals and photos from the FALLENDER TREE individually, but there seem to be remenents of it. Can you do it from your end, taking care to leave the LEONARD TREE intact? Thank you!
