This custom module provides additional relation descriptors.

Such a descriptor is a word or a phrase that states object 1's relation is object 2. For example, you would read the following GEDCOM code as "The person pointed to by the XREF @S1@ is the landlord of Joe Jacob":

0 INDI

1 NAME Joe /Jacob/

1 ASSO @S1@

2 RELA landlord

The module supports

• INDI:ASSO:RELA (GEDCOM standard like in the example above)
• INDI:*:ASSO:RELA (no standard GEDCOM, but supported by webtrees)
• INDI:*:_ASSO:RELA (using a custom tag _ASSO like in INDI:BIRT:_ASSO)
• FAM:*:_ASSO:RELA (using a custom tag _ASSO like in FAM:MARR:_ASSO).

To add your custom relation descriptors you have to modify the file ExtendedRelationIsDescriptor.php. Replace the example lines in the function valuesAddon() by your custom descriptors. The text values depend on the sex of the linked individual.

If you like to add translations for your custom relation descriptors you have to add them at the end of the file RelationIsDescriptorAddon.php.
