Saw this old post. Are you still interested in these questions? Some of these use the same underlying parser that is built into Gramps. For example, Dates in Data Entry Gramplet, Person Filter , and Date calculator all use the same parser . What kinds of things are you looking for?

[image] dsblank: What kinds of things are you looking for? The intent is to improve the wiki’s exposure of GUI options for parsing data. To allow users with no programming skills to find options. AND… to help beginning developers find functional examples of parsing code (not pseudocode) so t…

Still searching for an example of adding a common citation for object being created.

I’d like to use the Data Ent…

Actually, I was thinking about the Gramps blog. But I see that no one has blogged an article since 2015 when some crazy guy posted about using Prolog and family trees :slight_smile: I actually find github’s search better for these things. [image]

[image] dsblank: Actually, I was thinking about the Gramps blog. The WordPress silo is aging poorly. It is easy to gain WikiContributor access for the MediaWiki. The wiki is in constant revision and has accessible (although excruciating) support for localization. It is unclear how to become…

[image] Nick-Hall: Someone else requested Lua, but I can’t remember the conversation. [image] Lost icons in the Wiki Feedback Yes I understand it, note I added the Template:Icon page back in 2011 based on old style wikitext templates, and due to how the template wo…
