====== Pedigree Tree ======

This addon allows you to collect the pedigree tree information **during listing placement**/**listing edit**, and display that information on the listing details page.  The information is **search-able**, and the data is saved in //new fields// in its own table in the database, so that you are free to use your optional site-wide fields for other purposes.  This is ideal for equine related sites, or other sites that would make use of a pedigree tree.  It will collect and display as many //generations// as you wish, similar to the screen shot below.

It will also add a section to the advanced search page, to allow searching by sire or dam, as you can see below.  Note that it searches through every sire and dam in a listing's pedigree tree, not just the immediate 1st generation.

In the [[admin_menu/addons/pedigree_tree/settings/start|addon's settings]], you can specify the maximum number of pedigree tree generations.  It also allows you to specify a certain number of those generations to be required.  This allows a great deal of customization, as you can specify to collect, for example, 5 generations, but only require the first 2 generations, making the rest optional.

By placing the addon's pedigree tree tag in your classifieds or auctions details templates, it will display the pedigree tree information wherever you place the tag in your template.  The information will display similar to the screen shot below.

<tip c n>**Note:**  To display the pedigree tree information on the listing details page, as it does in the screen shot above, you need to add a tag to your template.  You would add the tag **{addon author='geo_addons' addon='pedigree_tree' tag='listing_tree'}**((Or the tag **{addon author='geo_addons' addon='pedigree_tree' tag='listing_tree'}** if using //file-based design//.)) to the default auction (/main_page/listing_auction.tpl) and classified (/main_page/listing_classified.tpl) details templates.</tip>
