[tngusers2] Minimum Digits

[Vanheerden, Emile]

I apologise if I missed the mail with the answer but let me try again.

I have changed the 0 to 5 as suggested but see no improvements. Do I
need to do something more than these changes? What I did in the mean
time is redo the hole "Utilities > Back up, Restore & Optimize Table
Data > Resequence IDs > Minimum Digits" steps and got the numbering
corrected but it did not change the way "People > Add New" works, it is
still not giving "0"'s in front of the numbers as it should. I still
have to add zeros manually to get te numbering right.
Kind regards
Emile

Yes. First, edit the admin/gedimport_misc.php file and look at these
lines near the top:

//set trim_it to a non-zero value to use this feature
$trim_it = 0;
//for individuals:
$trimsize[I] = 0;
//for families:
$trimsize[F] = 0;
//for sources:
$trimsize[S] = 0;

If you set those $trimsize variables and set $trim_it to 1, TNG will pad
your IDs with leading zeros if their lengths
are less than the number you specified. For example, suppose you have
one person with the ID I1234 and another with the
ID I567890. If you set $trimsize[I] to 5, then the first ID will become
I01234. The second ID will remain I567890
because it was already longer than 5 digits (the prefix "I" doesn't
count).
