Webtrees Custom Module: ⚶ Shared Places
This webtrees custom module supports shared places as level 0 GEDCOM objects, on the basis of the Gedcom-L agreements. It hooks into an extended 'Facts and Events' tab, enhancing places with data obtained from the respective shared place.
The project’s website is cissee.de.
This is a webtrees 1.x module - It cannot be used with webtrees 2.x. For its webtrees 2.x counterpart, see here.
Contents
Features
- Shared places are handled as level 0 _LOC records, containing coordinates, notes, and media objects.
- Shared places may be edited and viewed via an additional top-level menu.
- On the (extended) facts and events tab, shared place data is displayed in addition to regular place data.
- All shared place data is fully included in the gedcom exported by webtrees (and may also be imported from other sources supporting _LOC records), on the basis of the Gedcom-L agreements.
- Geodata is provided to other modules (e.g. for use in maps).
Gedcom-L Addendum
The Gedcom-L Addendum to the GEDCOM 5.5.1 specification is available here. It defines the following structure for top-level place records:
LOCATION_RECORD:=
0 @<XREF:_LOC>@ _LOC {1:1}
1 NAME <PLACE_NAME> {1:M}
2 DATE <DATE_VALUE> {0:1}
2 ABBR <ABBREVIATION_OF_NAME> {0:M}

Download
- Current version: 1.7.16.1
- Based on and tested with webtrees 1.7.16, may also work with older 1.7.x versions.
- Requires the Hooks module ('hooks_repackaged', or the original Hooks module via webtrees-geneajaubart).
- Requires the 'vesta_common_lib' module.
- Displays data via the 'personal_facts_with_hooks' module.
- Download the zipped module, including all related modules, here.
- Support, suggestions, feature requests: ric@richard-cissee.de
- Issues also via https://github.com/ric2016/shared_places/issues
Installation
- Unzip the files and copy them to the modules_v3 folder of your webtrees installation. All related modules are included in the zip file. It's safe to overwrite the respective directories if they already exist (they are bundled with other custom modules as well), as long as other custom models using these dependencies are also upgraded to their respective latest versions.
- Enable the extended 'Facts and Events' module via Control Panel -> Modules -> Module Administration -> Facts and Events.
- Enable the main module via Control Panel -> Modules -> Module Administration -> Shared Places. After that, you may configure some options.
- Enable the Hooks module via Control Panel -> Modules -> Module Administration -> Hooks. Make sure all hooks are selected (in the preferences of the Hooks module).
- Configure the visibility of the old and the extended 'Facts and Events' tab via Control Panel -> Modules -> Tabs (they both appear as 'Facts and Events' here - usually, you'll want to use only one of them. You may just disable the old 'Facts and Events' module altogether).
