ReunionFamilyCloud is a web hosting service for users of Reunion 14. This hosting service is provided by Leister Productions, Inc. and allows users of Reunion 14 to reserve and ultimately purchase a unique web address (URL) and web space for publicly or privately publishing web suitable content generated by Reunion.

Before you can upload/publish Reunion content to ReunionFamilyCloud, you must first create a ReunionFamilyCloud member account. To create a ReunionFamilyCloud member account, launch Reunion and choose Reunion > ReunionFamilyCloud Manager from Reunion’s main menu - this will open the ReunionFamilyCloud Manager window.

At the bottom of the ReunionFamilyCloud Manager window... Click the “Sign In/Sign Up” button. Then, click “Sign Up” button.

Enter the member name you would like to use for your account. The member name that you choose will be used to log into your ReunionFamilyCloud account and will also appear as part of your website’s address or URL.

For example if you enter a member name of “sample_family” - your web address will be... https://host.reunionfamilycloud.com/sample_family

Note that uppercase letters, spaces and some other characters are not allowed for member names. As your member name is entered invalid characters will be changed to valid characters.

When you tab out of the member name field - the member name that you entered will be checked for availability. If the member name that you entered is available, a message in green text will appear below the member name field telling you that it is available.

Create a password for logging into your ReunionFamilyCloud member account and complete the rest of the information about yourself. Be sure to save your password in a safe place since you will need it to sign into your member account.

Click “Sign Up” and a message will appear telling you that your member account has been created. You can click on the URL in this message window to open your browser to your new (and empty) website.

If you would only like certain people to be able to view your published web content, password protection can be added. From the ReunionFamilyCloud Manager window, click on “Account Settings” and in the Account Settings window, select Privacy and select “Require user name and password to access this site” - enter a user name and password and close the Account Settings window. Your website will be password protected and only people with the user name and password that you entered will be able to view your site.

The first step is to create a web project. Open your family file and click Reports > Web Project and create a web project. For detailed information on creating web projects, click the help button at the bottom left.

Once you have created a web project, it will appear in the list at the top of the ReunionFamilyCloud Manager window. Select your web project in this list and click the blue “Upload to ReunionFamilyCloud” button at the bottom of the list and confirm the upload of this web project.

Once your web project has been uploaded, a message will appear with the option to open your browser to your uploaded web project. Click that button to see your published web project in your browser.

Tip: If you are still seeing the "Future website..." screen, you may need to click your browser’s "Reload" button.

You may want to add subfolders to your website. Subfolders can be useful for grouping uploaded chart files or GEDCOM files or posting multiple web projects to the same website. To create a new subfolder on your web space open the ReunionFamilyCloud Manager window and click the “File List” button. Then, click the Tools button at the bottom left of the list and select New Folder, name the new folder and click Create.

Once you have created one or more folders on your website, when you upload files you will be given the option to upload the file to the member folder or any of the member folder’s subfolders.

Folders can only be added to your main member folder. Subfolders can not be created inside of other folders.

No more than 5 folders can be added to your website.

Your new ReunionFamilyCloud account will be active for a free 30 day trial period. At any point during that 30 day trial period, you may upload, manage and delete files on your website. If you would like to add a year to the life of your member web space - open the ReunionFamilyCloud Manager window and click the Account Settings button and then click the “Renew Subscription” button - you will be presented with subscription options for your website.
