This webtrees module provides historical facts (in German language): Chancellors and Presidents of Germany (since 1949)

The structure of historic events provided by this module is oriented on GEDCOM events (EVEN).

•  1 EVEN <name> (<party>)
  

•  2 TYPE <Chancellor|President> of Germany
  

•  2 DATE <date period>
  

•  2 NOTE [wikipedia de](<link>)
  

For wikipedia links in the notes markdown formatting is used; this should be enabled for your tree. See Control panel/Manage family trees/Preferences and then scroll down to "Text" and mark the option "markdown". If markdown is disabled the links are still working, but the formatting isn't so nice.

Select as user "Historic events" at the "Facts and events" tab.

webtrees is an online collaborative genealogy application. This can be hosted on your own server by following the Install instructions. If you are familiar with Docker, you might like to install webtrees using this unofficial docker image, or this one.

This module requires webtrees version 2.0 or later. This module has the same requirements as webtrees#system-requirements.

This module was tested with webtrees 2.1.15 version and all available themes and all other custom modules.

This section documents installation instructions for this module.

1. Download the latest release
2. Unzip the package into your webtrees/modules_v4 directory of your web server
3. Rename the folder to german-chancellors-presidents

To update simply replace the german-chancellors-presidents files with the new ones from the latest release.

At the moment only the event types (chancellor, president) and meta data can be translated, no other data.

You can use a local editor, like Poedit or Notepad++, to make the translations and send them back to me. You can do this via a pull request (if you know how) or by e-mail.

Discussion on translating can be done by creating an issue.

Updated translations will be included in the next release of this module.

There are now, beside English, and German, no other translations available.

Issues: for any ideas you have, or when finding a bug you can raise an issue.

Forum: general webtrees support can be found at the webtrees forum.
