Add Age of when photo taken

[MYLE-01]

what about if we add the Year the photo was taken. then when we tag the person it could work out there age base on birth

[hartenthaler]

I'm adding already the date a picture was taken using a _DATE tag.

[MYLE-01]

Thanks, Bro could we have the option to add manually Year

Just that the Photos I'm uploading are Photos of the photo so _DATE would be wrong

[hartenthaler]

Yes, I'm adding the date a picture was taken manually. Sometimes the date is written on the back side of the photo. Or I know the event when the photo was taken. Since the GEDCOM standard 5.5.1 does not allow storing the date, I have to use a NOTE or a custom GEDCOM tag like _DATE.

[hartenthaler]

I agree that it would be nice if the faces module would show the age of the tagged persons in a picture together with their names. This could help to be sure that the identification of the persons is correct.

Faces can show date from fact attached to photo.
So it's not so hard implement age on titles.
I will try implement it when possible.

My thinking would be to add the Year to the Notes field

new note data looks like this
Y2005, X9, X10, X2, X11, X16, X55

I'm thinking the logic looks at that split it by the , if the first array has a Y then do the maths base on the X??

Would like to know what files you are changing to get to work?

[hartenthaler]

I do not understand what you mean. The date a picture is taken is an attribute of the picture. So it has to be stored as a GEDCOM tag in the OBJE record of the picture.

At the moment the data of the faces module is stored in a database table and cannot be exported as GEDCOM. This makes it complicated when transferring data to another installation of webtrees. This was ok, because there was no standard defined for that. Now there is GEDCOM 7 and so we have a standard for exchanging data like the position of "faces" in a picture. So I suggest orienting the module on that. even if webtrees is following the GEDCOM 5.5.1 standard up to now.

@hartenthaler
GEDCOM 7 is supported with webtreees? Can you give example of this?

[hartenthaler]

webtrees is still supporting officially only 5.5.1. But there are already several 7.0 structures possible.

You can import GEDCOM 7.0 in webtrees (but not gedzip format) and export it without any errors (see German webtrees manual).

Support for GEDCOM 7.0

• TIME is supported under DATE, so you can use time of birth or death; for example INDI:BIRT:DATE:TIME
• you can export GEDCOM files in zipped format (GEDCOM file together with media files)
• you can use RESN in all types of records
• you can use FAM:FACT already now
• you can activate the tags and rules of the GEDCOM-L group in webtrees; several definitions in this addendum to the GEDCOM 5.5.1 standard got part of GEDCOM 7.0
• regarding sex: additionally to M, F, and U you can use "X" as it is defined in GEDCOM 7.0
• all the enum fields are using already UPPERCASE, like in NAME:TYPE ("BIRTH") or when defining the OBJE:FORM tag (JPG instead of jpg)
• the new tags EXID and SNOTE are supported
• and many more ...
