I was looking for a web picture database that would allow anyone in the
family to caption family photos. This would allow us to pool information on
dates, locations and people in the picture.
But then I thought of putting a whole family history website online on
James’s excellent Have-Host service.
I’ve looked for an open-source family history solution, not to much success
… but it would be helpful if anyone had any experience, good/bad of using
a database something like this.
Cheers
Best wishes Peter

Peter,
Unless you can find something off the shelf (can’t see anything from a quick search), you would need to adapt existing, scripts like a blog, or a wiki? (we these, and are ready to one click install), or add a CMS system like Max’s WebYeb Actions to your site, which give more Freeway design Freedom.
We have a number of script from Wiki’s to blogs + much more if you want to look -

And you might notice the new look and new web site for our Freeway web hosting service.

Look at PhpGedView on Sourceforge. http://sourceforge.net
It has a good support forum, which it needs, but the basics work well. I’m running it on HaveHost.
Although it is called PhpGedView, you can update or start from scratch if you wish. Uses PHP and MySQL. It’s being actively developed.
They do recommend that you get it working without pictures first and then add the images.

Thanks Scott, David and David, I’m looking at PhpGedView, I think it will do
what I need to start and more, and as you say is being actively developed,
better things will hopefully come?
Are there any special things I should know about installing on HaveHost?
Best wishes Peter

I just copied the files up, set up an empty database and user, and
followed the PGV instructions. It creates all the tables. I already
had a Gedcom file exported from GenesReunited, and that imported
without problems.
I’m about to install 4.1.3 as a separate installation, so I’ll see
how that goes.
