This mod changes the layout of the Person Profile in several ways,
with the intent of making it easier to read. For example,
It moves some the profiled person's events below the person's Parent and Family data,
Adds headings (e.g. Parents, Family or Families, Media, Event Map) above each block of data, and
Moves 'metadata' (e.g. the personID, date of last change, and links to the Group Sheet and Family Chart) into headings.
It makes numerous additional changes, some of which are controlled by mod options.
See the Wiki article for details.
The Person Profile displays a list of the profiled person's branches.
Depending on mod options, this mod can turn each branch name in that list into a hyperlink that pops up a list of all branch members.
This mod's options determine whether anonymous visitors and logged-in users are allowed to see the detailed branch information, and thus whether the branch are actually hyperlinked.
While this mod controls which information about branches can be seen by different classes of site visitors,
The separate Regroup Person-Hide Branches mod controls which branches are visible to those classes of visitors.
Also, the Show Branch Users mod adds branch-assigned users to the list of branch members in the popup box.
This mod's purpose is to treat the standard biological Parent-Child relationship as an unstated default.
The exact terms to be ignored (such as 'natural', 'birth', or 'biological') must be specified as mod options.
