The bases folder is a default subfolder of the GeneWeb distribution named bases

Under this folder, the choice of names for your databases and .auth

Translations: All text files read through the m=SRC&v=file or m=DOC&s=file.txt commands are processed by GeneWeb which performs translations ([text to be translated]
) and expands some macros (%s,
%v
, %i
, %k
see [1]). In addition, a more global translation of the text file can be obtained by appending _lg
to the filename (where lg is the 2-letter acronym of a given language) which selects an entirely new file, specific to the selected language.
Bases folder in GeneWeb 7.1
GeneWeb 7.1-exp can simplify the archival of databases regrouping all the files needed for a single database under the same folder. With this configuration, it becomes far simpler to use archival tools such as tar
, zip
or rar
to store a single database folder in an archive (see save for details and comments).

This new structure will only be available (if needed) in futur 7.1 version build on top of commit https://github.com/geneweb/geneweb/commit/ad8943a85da458f6ea1d1cdf21d72d02f5a03a43 merged on 24th november 2024.
