I’ve implemented a new Gramps “UAWebPack” addon. It shows Ukrainian sources in the context menu. The default lang is English, and a Ukrainian locale is added: [Screenshot from 2025-03-06 09-08-13] [Screenshot from 2025-03-06 09-08-59] What is the next step to integrate it to Gramps? I also have…

@Nick-Hall I’ve added pull request to add the addon into Gramps project 5.2 and 6.0.

@Urchello You should submit the source code to the addons-source repository. We will then build it for you and publish the tgz with updated listings in the addons repository.

[image] Urchello: I saw commented-out attempts to use the “place” variable in the context menu on the Place tab. I also intended to do this, but libwebconnect does not have an implementation for Place, only Person. Is there any plan to improve this library? I even tried adding a Place implementa…

@Urchello , I found the WebConnect to be very useful when fresh. But it is highly susceptible to linkrot and the UI being a scrollable submenu of a Context Menu is awkward. [image] Perhaps you might consider converting it to a Gramplet? Or a Tool that adapts to the current Category, like SuperToo…

[image] emyoulation: Perhaps you might consider converting it to a Gramplet? Yes, I think, now I have enough skills to make it. I also thought about something similar but in a bit another way: We could use a single WebPack addon with an identical structure, but the WEBSITES = [...] list wo…

[image] Urchello: As for me context menu is better here. although a gramplet in sidebar would be ok also

[image] Urchello: If there is no match, a default list will be loaded—for example, including well-known resources like FamilySearch and MyHeritage, which are useful for everyone. When using US Web Connect lookups (while logging cross-references), I tended to do 3 or 4 look ups in a row: FindA…

[image] emyoulation: Perhaps you might consider converting it to a Gramplet? So, I already have a working gramplet, at leat the basic feature - it loads data from csv and replaces several variables for people and places. [image] [image] [image] [image] person supports such variables: …
