public access to tree

I am building a web site ahead of a family reunion. I want to link individuals to their particular branch of the family tree.

I'm fairly certain I have a handle on the technical aspects of how to create the link, but my question is one of actual access.

Since many of my users are seniors with limited computer experience I would prefer that they not have to register and log in when they view any portion of the tree.

What do I need to do to make that happen

you have 3 Choices

website security

Member ship model

everyone logs in with a email and password

Website access code

You login with a email to edit everyone else a code/password set by you

No security NOT RECOMMENDED

you login with a email to edit

everyone as access to everything

To make these changes you need to find privacy within the dashboard

Thank you for your prompt response.

I have defined an access code for the site. Is there a way to pass that code as a parameter in the URL from my family web site.

Many of our users a seniors, some of whom actually grew up when there was no such thing as TV. They have enough of a challenge just logging into the reunion site. I would like to eliminate the burden of yet another password.

Make your TP site an "open site". No passwords, no security codes. Anybody can peek and see, but nothing else. I think about 5% of all sites are like so. If others want to copy the data, then fine.

If the object of the exercise is to let the oldsters only see how they are related to each other, then don't put in any other data such as vignettes, birthdays, addresses etc.

If so-and-so is a cousin of an uncle of so-and-so, whether still living or dead, then so be it. Those are facts, and can be considered public domain.

If some zealous stalker wants to zero in on a particular person, then merely googling that name will yield so much more data.

Use TinyURL to shorten your site's URL and email it to all your kin.

My example below.

Hope my 2 cents' isn't that radical
