What would you like to see in an About link on the main screen?

I only look in that corner to logout. I may not be the only one.

Alll modern apps are expected to have an About link these days …

Hi,
From a security perspective, it could make sense to migrate the version
from the login screen to the About link (the About link popup would at
least contain the version). This would prevent the version number from
being publicized unless the user is logged in. This would need to be
balanced with troubleshooting issues, though; a newer user would need to
look in the version.php file to figure out the version or use the admin.php
gui(in the case where a new user can’t login).

What else would be needed on the about popup?

Hi Terry,
Could also migrate the ‘Manual’(would call is ‘User Manual’) and ‘Online Support’ links to the About window.

Like this? If there is no support number in globals it does not show

Hi,
Terry’s most recent About link code is looking nice. It can be demo’d here:
http://www.open-emr.org/wiki/index.php/Development_Demo#192.168.1.135
The code can be reviewed here:
The About link was added to top right (in place of the Manual link). The ‘Online Support’ and ‘Manual’ links were migrated to the About popup. The version information was migrated from the login screen to the About popup. A option to show a support phone number was also added to Globals that will show in the About popup.

why the buttons not showing in the center like Terry’s pic above? In my case they are on the left side and doesnt look neat. Please see attachement.

Hi,
We were having difficulty centering the buttons, and the appearance of them placed to the left actually looked nice in the current default stylesheet style_light.css (the text is centered but the links below it are justified to the left). If want to attack centering them, though, please feel free (look at the current look of it on the new stylesheet first, though).
