I would suggest you  submit this to the Legacy staff as a suggested improvement.



You can customize your tool bar and add the Ancestry.com icon.

This icon has several options for Ancestry, so it takes 2 clicks (1 click on 
icon, slide down and click Search Ancestry.com).



Using the Internet icon requires at least 3 clicks to search Ancestry.

2020-06-29 Thread Andrew Robbie 
Hi Roberta,

 

I appreciate your suggestion, but this ability you outlined affects how you 
‘activate’ or execute an icon on your desktop.  Instead of double clicking a 
desktop icon, you can turn them into icons that only need a single click to 
execute them.  What I am trying to do is within Legacy leverage the replaceable 
parameters e.g. [FirstName] so that I can single click to get to the Ancestry 
(or other) web site with any know data filled in already.

 

Thanks again,

Andrew

Andrew

If you only want to click once then you can only have an icon that will open 
the website rather than set up the search.
Is it so hard to make two clicks instead of setting up the search yourself in 
Ancestry???
The mechanism has been provided to do what you want to do and you're bothered 
about the number of clicks to access it?
You can put the Search Internet onto your My Toolbar by customising your My 
Toolbar by going to Design > Toolbars > My Toolbar.

Andrew,
Go to Internet > Search Internet and read the Help there.

There are a number of inbuilt options for various sites like Ancestry
but you can make your own for particular databases on Ancestry or
elsewhere or any other site that gives a search URL that can be adapted
with the relevant codes to add names and dates.

You don't use the User-defined Toolbar buttons for this.
Someone a couple of years ago put a document in the Files area of the
Legacy User Group Facebook page that explains how he does it for
particular databases.

Would love to get to ancestry.com (and other web sites) with a single 
click that includes name, dates, etc.


I thought this would work…

But none of the [Parameters] are supported here it appears.

Any suggestions? Enhancement?

2020-06-28 Thread bobstree2 
Try this:1. Log in to Ancestry.2. Go to the page you want to be at.3. Copy the 
URL for that page.4. Paste that URL into the bottom field on the User Tool 
Button page, and save it.==Instructions:1. To use the button, you 
will need to make your browser is open and you are logged into Ancestry 
first.2. Click on the Legacy button you created above.3.  This will only work 
for the page you first selected.  It does not accept 
parameters.=Optional approach:1. If you are going to the results 
page of a Search, you can copy that page's URL, and identify and replace the 
search parameters you should see there.  Now paste the URL into your button as 
noted above.  I have not tried these steps, just repeating steps I have taken 
to perform similar tasks.  Takes only a few minutes to see if it works for 
you.Personally I think it is easier to save the page as a bookmark/favorite, 
and go to that page using your browser.
