# NAME

Ftree - family tree generator

# SYNOPSIS

If install it

    cpanm https://cpan.metacpan.org/authors/id/M/MI/MISHIN/FamilyTreeInfo-2.3.16.tar.gz

copy the folder cgi-bin from the distribution

    cp cgi-bin c:\ftree\cgi-bin

    

then got to it directory

    c:\ftree\cgi-bin

and run

    plackup -I..\lib

    

HTTP::Server::PSGI: Accepting connections at http://0:5000/

now go to the browser

    http://127.0.0.1:5000/

and we can see a family tree, and

to his Office just need to edit the file

    c:\ftree\cgi-bin\tree.xls

    

or the file with a different name, but then this name must indicate file

    ftree.config

changing parameter

    file_name tree.xls

on your

and pictures of relatives should be 3 x 4

and they need to be put in the directory

    c:\ftree\cgi-bin\pictures

where the name of the picture must be a person id + .jpg

all works!

for Unix you will need to fix option

    photo_dir c:/ftree/cgi-bin/pictures/

    #on your

# NAME OF THE PICTURE:

One picture may belong to each person. The name of the picture file reflects the person it belongs to. The picture file is obtained from the lowercased full name by substituting spaces with underscores and adding the file extension to it. From example from "Ferenc Bodon3" we get "ferenc\_bodon3.jpg".

# PERFORMANCE ISSUES:

This sofware was not designed so that it can handle very large family trees. It can easily cope with few thousands of members, but latency (time till page is generated) grows as the size of the family tree increases.

The main bottleneck of performance is that (1.) mod\_perl is not used, therefore perl interpreter is starts for every request (2.) family tree is not cached but data file is parsed and tree is built-up for every request (using serialized format helps a little).

Since the purpose of this software is to provide a free and simple tool for those who would like to maintain their family tree themself, performance is not the primary concern.

# SECURITY ISSUES:

The protection provided by password request (set in config file) is quite primitive, i.e. it is easy to break it.

Ther are historical reasons for being available. We suggest to use server side protection like .htaccess files in case of apache web servers.
