Does anybody know why the Detailed Descendant Report only prints events with a ‘Primary’ Role ?
Not sure why. I also wondered and found the fix.
The report is \gramps\plugins\textreport\detdescendantreport.py
at line 909 change
for event_ref in person.get_primary_event_ref_list()
to
for event_ref in person.get_event_ref_list()
Be careful not to change the indent.
Thanks Dave, I’d done that already, but it is always nice to get a second opinion. Is it worth raising a Bug report ? complete with fix.
Maybe there are people out there who do not want the miscellaneous hangers on at wedding and baptisms having those weddings and baptisms displayed for the non-primary person.
Personally I do not need the fix. I only found the issue after experimenting with the report for something else. I do not normally use printed reports so only added the fix to my other list of tweaks.
Maybe if others now come forward… a fix can be made. Maybe a report option?
It could become a good example of how to add a option to an existing report… both the tweak for the GUI and for the underlying code.
But how would you interface the option? It could be a true/false of ALL types or just Primary.
@Mattkmmr just did an extended selection option for Event types (collating built-in and custom types) for his Heatmap addon web pages report.
He hasn’t said when/if he intends to release it. But the method should be fresh in his mind.
@emyoulation I’ve already opend a pull request draft, but there is still some stuff missing (custom event types and fixing the deselect issue when switching tabs).
Depending on which events should be used, BooleanOption (=checkbox: use all events) or a EnumeratedListOption (selector: all, primary, secondary) should be enough. I just created a new menu option with a new GUI for the heatmap report, because I don’t wanted 40+ checkboxes for each event type in the menu options.
