Plug-ins not working
I have upgraded FH to V7 and reinstalled Ancestral sources and 2 further plug-ins.
While Ancestral Sources appears to be working OK the other 2 are not and coming up with a screen "Not all fields set" - see attached
I have ensured that I have downloaded and installed the updated plug-ins for V7
Any ideas?
Dave

Re: Plug-ins not working
That's a Data Entry Assistant, designed to be run after you've prepared a citation using the Source button on the main toolbar. If you haven't prepared a citation, the plugin can't find the data it needs to proceed.
If all this is gobbledegook, I recommend you read Sources and Citations in Version 7 (for Upgraders) and also Source Driven Data Entry in the help file.

Re: Plug-ins not working
Thanks
From memory - in V6 the plug-in created the citation
However - even when I have entered the minimum data, the plug-in comes up with the same error? Regards

Re: Plug-ins not working
That plugin didn't exis in FH6 -- are you confusing it with another one?
Does it work if you enter a Quarter Date?

Re: Plug-ins not working
I think it was just called GRO something or other!
Nope - it does not work with a Quarter date entered into the main birth record or the prepared citation

One of Jane's plugins (currently “DISABLED”) was Add GRO Source.

Re: Plug-ins not working
How are you running the DEAs? from the dropdown at the bottom of the Prepared Citation window? Or from the plugin window.
I can't replicate the error.

Re: Plug-ins not working
I was doing it from the Add Citation button at the bottom - am I doing it wrong?

Re: Plug-ins not working
I think you mean the Data Entry Assistant button at the bottom of the Prepared Citation window -- there isn't an Add Citation button there. If so, you're not doing it wrong (it should work from the Plugin window as well as long as you have a prepared citation of the tight type).
The fact that you're getting a similar error with a completely different DEA is odd.
Can you document exactly the sequence of actions you're taking, with the exact name for everything you click please.

Re: Plug-ins not working
Light is dawning. your screenshot is of a 'Citation window' not the 'prepared Citation Window.'
You have to start from the Source button (4th along on the toolbar) and prepare a citation (or view the existing prepared citation) before you run a DEA.
