Generate a html block for my page / tree starting page with all defined settings #450

It would be nice to have such a dynamically generated block available which can be added to the "my page" or the starting page of a tree. See as an example: https://github.com/JustCarmen/webtrees-fancy-treeview/issues/121

Can you explain how to trigger the option in Fancy treeview?

I haven't used this module until now, and I'm not sure where to find the option you're referring to.

After installing the newest version 2.0.2 of that module there is a new type of home page block available: Screenshot (406)

Then you can add that block to the home page of a tree and see the links: Screenshot (405)

You can configure the module in the Control panel / Modules / Genealogy / Menues, but this is not necessary. Go to the page of an individual and select the "edit" button in the top/right corner. Select "Create link to ancestors/descendants page". Then you should see the link list in the new home page block of your tree.

Ah thanks, I see now. I will have to have a think about how we might do this. We can make a list, but a list is not very useful without a link. Do we only want to list the settings where a sharing URL has been created?

And this would be just for a user's home page. For the tree home page, I am not sure what we could automatically generate here. Different people can see different things. And if settings have been shared with a URL, we do not know who the user intended to share them with. I would think that we should not be automatically generating a list of shared settings to show on a tree home page, as I don't know how we would determine what to put on it. Thoughts?

I agree, a list without links is not useful. A link list on the user's home page would be nice.

For the tree's home page: this is much more complicated. The list depends if a user is logged in or if he/she is a visitor. And you are right, that you cannot know for whom a link was generated. This would require a new function when generating a settings link: "generate a public URL to this setting for this tree". And then show all the generated public URL links in the new tree home page block. Maybe, this is too complicated.

Just having a think about this.

Let's say we add an option where on a saved setting, you can click "Add saved setting to tree home page" or "Add saved setting to My page".

Is this any different from the current options, where a user can add to the favourites in My page, and an admin can also add to the Favourites in the tree home page?
