Photo This option contains the filename for a 'Photo Indicator' graphic. The file must be placed in the users genweb directory.

Misc variables

MaxInIndex This option controls the number of individuals that are allowed in a sub-index page. Default: 250

UseDBM This option controls the method used to index the GEDCOM file. If set to '', the program will use an index file. This option requires less space but the entire index file must be loaded each time that IGMGet, IGMPed or IGMDesc is run. If the database size is anything but small, this can cause slow page display times and increased server load. If set to 'yes', the program will use a DBM index file. This option requires slightly more space but reduces display times and server load. Recommendation: 'yes'

UseXrefTags This option controls the method used to access individuals. If set to '', the program will use seek addresses for accessing individuals. This is slightly faster but the seek addresses will probably change each time that the database is rebuilt. If set to 'yes', the program will use xref tags to access individuals. This is slightly slower but individuals xref tags are more likely to remain stable after a rebuild. Recommendation: 'yes'

Peddepth This option sets the depth (number of generations) for the pedigree chart program. Recommendation: 5-6

Descdepth This option sets the depth (number of generations) for the descendency chart program. Recommendation: 5-6

AllowFind This option controls the availability of the Find program. '' to disable or 'yes' to enable

AllowLinks This option controls the availability of the Link program. '' to disable or 'yes' to enable

AllowGED This option controls the availability of the GEDCOM Extraction program. '' to disable or 'yes' to enable
