Second Site flag problem

[KathleenC 0]

I've just installed SSv2.1 build 10.

 

I have a flag called Census Person that I wanted excluded, so I selected it from Set Flag Filter, checked exclude if Y, but SS INcludes it instead! Am I missing something?

Kathleen,

 

Although someone might be able to help you on the TMG7 Forum, you will probably get better help from the Second Site Google Group. The Group is introduced as:

 

"This is the official mailing list for Second Site users. John Cardinal, the author of the program, is the primary manager of this list and encourages the use of this list to discuss how to use Second Site effectively. Feel free to send messages about any aspect of using Second Site, including success stories, problem reports, requests for opinions from other users, etc. ...

 

There is also an "unofficial" SecondSite list at rootsweb.com.

Thanks, Barbara. I looked for a SS forum and didn't see one. I thought perhaps John Cardinal would see my message here. I will check out the other site.

Kathleen,

 

I do check messages here, usually once a day.

 

I think you are trying to use the Flag Filter for something other than what is intended. The Flag Filter does not filter which flags are shown; it is used to specify a flag that is used to include or exclude people.

 

Regarding which flags are shown, you have limited options to control that. SS can either show all custom flags, or none. You can't choose a subset of flags to show.

 

Does that answer the question?
