<p><b>New page</b></p><div>I may be dumb but I can not work out how to add a new person to the GEDCOM yet! A word search in help shows that somewhere I should be able to "ADD AN UNLINKED PERSON" but it doesn't tell me under which menu its burred under...<br />
<br />
Cheers, very impressive work by the way :)<br />

In case it takes a while for someone knowledgable to answer my question... I now believe one is supposed to use GDBI (a JAVA based GEDCOM client) for such "major" editing. If this is indeed the case its a shame as I was aiming for non-technical audience to modify my GEDCOM!<br />
<br />
I should have taken the hint... its called phpgedview not phpgededit! ;p<br />

I would have to ask here whether you are trying to add a person inside of phpgedview - in which case that needs to be addressed in the users guide. If it is about editing a text file to add people to the gedcom file that is a different topic. All changed made inside phpgedview by people you give access to change the gedcom file. <br />
<br />
Not really clear on what you want here.<br />

Good to see a fellow Ozi around here, thanks for the quick reply Laurie. Im sorry, it was an early morning post so my question was not very elliquent! The scenario I am facing is like this, lets say I have a big tree and I discover an indivisual who I know is part of this tree... however, I do not know where exactly he fits in (ie I can not relate him to my existing tree) just yet... non the less I would like to add him because I believe I will find the missing links in future. Is it possible to do that in phpgedview? In GDBI its possible with Add -> New Individual.<br />
<br />
BTW, after playing around so more, I found the "link remote person" link under Indivisual list -> select indivisual -> click on name to edit properties -> select the close relatives tab. This is nice because it will allow me to link in those islands (or unlinked sub-branches) of the tree to the main tree as soon as I populate the missing people.<br />

To add an unlinked person, you need to be an Admin. Anyone can then link that person at some later date.<br />
<br />

<br />
Ah yes, thanks... just expanding on the answer... it can be found in MyGedViewPortal -> Admin -> Add Unlinked Person.<br />
<br />
Just as an aside, I wonder why the designers decided to make this an "admin" function?<br />
<br />
----<br />
"Add Unlinked Person": Its not exactly an admin function. You can configure it so that users can come and add themselves in this area. At last users having "Accept" previlidges can commit changes.<br />

If you are the admin, you can add an unlinked person. "Add an unlinked person" is accessible from the Admin's page.</div>Nathanhaigh
