I've got a pdf file that I want to add to an existing family member, but when I enter his name I get the list of same name people and their dates but he isn't there,

Can anyone help with a suggestion of how to attach the file to him?

I hope this all makes sense.

Thanks.

Hi Pauline, upload your PDF to Tribal Pages and on the RIGHT they have put ADD to NAMES.

If you cannot find the Name that you are looking for, but you definitely know where.

You can put a LINK into his NOTEs AS LONKG asyou understand how to do this.

To Start after UPLOADING your PDF Go to a STORY where you can enter this HTML CODE

<a href="XXXX">YOUR PERSON</a>

Go to your UPLOAD of PDF and right click it and click on copy link address

you will see similar to this

https://www.tribalpages.com/tpdocs/vyepar_862.pdf

Now copy this into the HTML CODE where the XXXX are and remove the XXXX.

<a href="https://www.tribalpages.com/tpdocs/vyepar_862.pdf">PDFYOUR PERSON</a>

If you now open up your STORY you will see PDFYOUR PERSON click on this and you will see the PDF.

Now just copy and paste the code in your story to the NOTES of your person.

Sounds complicated but if you read the above carefully you will see it is quite SIMPLE

ALL THE BEST

Hi Les

Just to let you know I've discovered why I couldn't find my man on the drop down list.

There are only 15 names in the list, so if you have more than that number with the same name they don't show. I was looking for someone else who didn't show, but had two Christian names, so I thought I'd try putting both of those in, and up he came. This wouldn't work, though, if the person you're looking for only has one name, so if you had, say, 50 John Smiths, I have no idea how you'd find the right one for that - perhaps putting in the dates might help, but if you don't know these, you're lost

Just thought you might be interested in that.

Thanks for the help, knew you'd have a work around, we can always rely on you.
