I'm setting up profiles for genealogy. As a part of each profile, I need to have users enter data for a "pedigree" that will then display on the Profile. What I've done so far is to create the following fields:
Self
Father
Mother
Grandfather
Grandmother
Great Grandfather
Great Grandmother
etc to 4th great grand parents.

That's 15 fields. What I really need in each of those fields is "Name" "Date of Birth" "Place of birth" "Date of Death" "Place of death". I end up having to do a lot of fixing and coaching.

What I'd rather do is have the data presented in a table. Not sure it is possible to do that with fields. That would be 75 fields. Is it possible to enter the data in an actual table and show the table in the profile? For example:

Full Name Year of birth Place of birth Year of death Place of death
Self
Father
Mother
Gfather
Gmother
GGfather
GGrandmother
(ETC)

I can put in the table as custom html, but it is not editable. Is there another way of doing this?

Thanks for getting back to me. I was just looking to see if there was anything on this question. My problem is that anything beyond WYSIWYG makes my brain hurt. Not much help with Family tree components, besides, I think it would be more complicated "pulling in" something from that sort of software than it would be to pull in a simple spreadsheet. You mention the CB Query Field... I've thought about scraping up the money for Pro club but fear anything I get there is still going to be over my head and still needing guidance. There are a lot of areas for which I'm stuck moving from idea to practicality. I've held back from posing most of my questions because it seems that you guys are pretty swamped to be dealing with everything you get hit with.

Don't know what you mean by "editor field". I don't see that among any of the field types.

Also, I've been a long-time user of TNG and intend to use it on this website. Haven't had much luck integrating it with Joomla, but that's a concern for later.
