New Customization Options for the HTML Tree

Mike Stangel I pretty much love this, except I think there’s an implementation bug - the conflict resolution triangle no longer opens the stacking tray, and in fact the tree doesn’t redraw at all. But the colors work great. Maybe a box line option in the future; sometimes a border around a box looks hot.

And .. the merge tray is back. Thank you.

Job Waterreus a/o Private User :

Can you please make a coorect transcription/translation of what is communicating here? Afterwards i can have a try to find French, German e/o Italian geni-collegues to do that in their portal-discussions...

Hé iedereen! De tijd dringt voor de integratie van Flash in webbrowsers, dus we hebben hard gewerkt om de HTML-versie van onze boominterface zo comfortabel en volledig mogelijk te maken. Toen we de HTML-boom voor het eerst introduceerden, hoorden we onder andere dat het zachtere kleurenschema na een tijdje vermoeiend wordt voor de ogen. In reactie op die feedback zijn we verheugd om een aantal nieuwe aanpassingsmogelijkheden in de HTML-boom aan te kondigen, met name een grotere lettergrootte en aangepaste kleuren.

U kunt alles over de nieuwe aanpassingsfuncties lezen op onze blog op

Als u nog niet klaar bent om de Flash-versie van de boom op te geven, kunt u de HTML-boom proberen met deze link: https://www.geni.com/family-tree/canvas
Als u klaar bent om de overstap te maken, kunt u dit doen met het driehoekje naast "Boom" in de koptekst, of u kunt deze link gebruiken: https://www.geni.com/family-tree/switch?tree_version=canvas
We hopen dat dit uw ervaring met het gebruik van onze boominterface verbetert, en we kijken uit naar uw feedback (en bugmeldingen) in de antwoorden hieronder.

perfect, goeie geni-friend/brother/bro....!

"Resolve conflicts" and "resolve duplicates" no longer works. Is this a bug in the switch to HTML?

Mike Stangel - in addition to Erin's comment just above
I have been using the HTML version for a long time now. On a Desk Top I could get the stacking tray for Tree Conflict Resolution, but on my Tablet it gives me Tree View instead of the stacking tray - this has been the case since early April at least, and if I am in Tree View currently nothing happens when I touch one of the yellow triangles (do not remember if that has been the case since early April also, or if it used to redraw the Tree)

Others who were on a device where that was working report it went bad just recently

Then Erica reported "Conflict triangle is working again"
After which folks said no, its not

Having same problem with conflict triangle & resolving duplicates ......

I cannot use the triangle to resolve duplicates after a merge.

Conflict resolution triangle isn't working for me either - rather recent development over past few days. I have been using HTML tree for a long time now also and not has any issues until now.

I have noticed an additional recent problem with not being able to click on profiles from typing in a name on the search bar and have it automatically populate like it used to do. That has been happening now for several weeks, I just thought it might go away, but it is still a nuisance.

I have been able to manually merge profiles by going to the drop down box and hitting "merge profile" but I don't know that I see all of the associated other profile issues when I do that. It is ok for a one and done, but not for clean-up. Thanks for all you all do.

Suggestion to those who aren’t getting a tree draw after merge - clear the cache. I think that’s how I got the conflict resolution triangle back.

How do you do that?????

In your browser settings usually. Another option is “clear cookies for Geni” - maybe Job Waterreus remembers the URL so it’s Geni only? (I’ve forgotten the syntax). You’d need to login again on Geni, but it could very well do the trick.

Will try it. Thanks. :-)

or Firefox: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-clear-firefox-cache
For Chrome: https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/32050?co=GENIE.Platform%...
For Edge: https://www.bitdefender.com/consumer/support/answer/2010/
Clearing the cache is different for each browser, so if you use another browser just search for it on Google. (clear cache <browsername>)

I am using Chrome and I went in and cleared the cookies and cache. Still no working conflict resolution triangle. Not sure what else to do. I have Safari, but I rarely go on Geni with it.

Mike Stangel looks like the regression bug didn’t fix itself for everyone.

Meanwhile - try the colors! They’re great. I’m on a soft palette at the moment. But much higher contrast are available with a flick of the gear icon.

LOL., now you are appealing to my artistic sense! I know it will all get fixed. Just trying to work on what I can and make notes to come back. The Scots Carmichaels and the Hugenot Poitevints and Jeneretts are killing me right now. :-)

For clearing cookies you can try: http://www.geni.com/login/clear_cookies
if I remember correctly you will be logged out after that, so you will have to logon again.

I tried it and was logged out, Job Waterreus and logged back in. When I found a triangle in my tree to click on, it went to a blank screen again.

Curiously, I believe that my triangles are disappearing somehow. The one I clicked on that went to a white screen, disappeared as a conflict, though I did nothing. I have no Conflict Resolution Triangles in my tree right now (or it looked that way to me) and I don't think that is even right, though I do try to work on things.

Job Waterreus, here is a profile of someone connected to me Frederick Douglas Mishoe. It had a yellow conflict resolution triangle on it when I first clicked on the profile after logging out and logging back in. When I clicked on the triangle to go to the merge screen, it went to a blank screen and now there is no conflict triangle on the profile on my screen yet there are obvious duplicate profiles - wife and several children.

Hope this helps describe what is happening. Susanne

Job Waterreus - I used the link, I think well over a year ago, that Mike gave to clear Geni cookies and it killed Bookmarks on my Android Tablet - not as in had to be re-chosen but as in spinning wildly forever if tried to choose "Bookmarks" or clicked on the star indicating a site was bookmarked.
Am not willing to risk that happening again,

Clicking on (touching) Tree Conflict just brings up Tree View, does not get the Conflict Resolution Stacking Tray on either of the Android Tablets I have used starting using with pandemic shutdown of the University Libraries I used to use to get on the internet. Touching the Conflict Triangle in Tree View does nothing.

It doesn't work on my PC either.

The new tree options work great. I'm talking about the problem of it not loading for the purpose of merging duplicates.

Susanne Floyd - on and off the grid, I still see a conflict near Frederick Douglas Mishoe on the Flash tree:
https://www.geni.com/family-tree/index/6000000000676220725?resolve=...
But Mike Stangel should look at these problems

Job Waterreus, I am using the HTML tree and nothing shows on the family tree link you posted but a blank screen. On the profile of Frederick Douglas Mishoe, there is no conflict resolution triangle showing and should be given that he has two wives who are the same and a daughter who has a duplicate profile.

I stopped using the Flash tree some time ago as suggested by Geni since it was going away. I know you folks can get this fixed and it may take some time. It is a new thing. I will just keep posting here if I notice any changes - good or bad. Right now for me, the functionality is compromised, but I can make adjustments with manual merges and the "merge this profile tab." Not perfect, but will do for now until you all get it fixed. I know I thought a whole branch of my tree was lost once and you found it. I have faith. SFG

I can see that screen using Flash, so the problem is with the HTML tree.

It does go from https://www.geni.com/family-tree/index/6000000000676220725?resolve=...
to https://www.geni.com/family-tree/canvas/6000000000676220725 if I do not enable Flash. When I click on the triangle there it starts building the resolution window but then goes to a blank screen on the HTML tree.
