Bady,
Were are you taking in request for 3.3? Is there a discussion thread opened? Also is there any discussion on purging out old outdated topics from this forum?

Hi,
If I may offer my opinion, what one considers as outdated would be very useful for newbies. I had gone through that phase.
thanks

Brady,
I have made some minor chabges in postcalendar/pntemplates/default/views/jax_tamplate.html so that when appointments are made and comments are added it will display in the Calendar. The existing code allows comments to be viewd on the calendar only under Out of Office and Reservec categories. The modified code will display comments added for all the categories including established and New Patients. I tested it and sen it to Joe for testing also. what should I do? Should I submit this for your review?
I still hava huge problem in the daily calendar printing when the appointments are beyond 9 to 16 hours. Joe also tested the same.
Thanks
Raj

Raj,
Create a diff -u patch and post the changes in the Tracker-Code Review, we’ll take a look, make recommendations and commit the changes to the code. I have a customer that is begging for that very change, so I’m motivated

dlee5400,
We don’t purge forum discussions; as Raj points out, they are a very useful resource. Feel free to make request for 3.3 in the forums; we’re always listening (note that the next version will likely be renamed 4.0, if community agrees, because of the extensive ongoing changes which can be noted on the 3.3x cvs demo on the wiki).
Raj,
I think I confirmed your bug also; A 10:00PM appt shows up on the day print screen, however when I actually print it, the 10:00PM appt does not show up in print out. Looks like your gonna be the new openemr calendar guru after you’ve fixed this bug Looking forward to seeing your patch regarding displaying of comments.

Here is my last comment regarding the “outdated” and then I will drop it. I am new to your project, new to the “open source” world but have been programing for 15 plus years. So I am one of the ones that Raj was speaking about/to and I found more “noise” in the outdated entries than help. Mainly because SoureForge sorts the threads from oldest to newest. This on top of being naturally slow creates a “bogging” down of information. I would find out that my questions had been indeed fixed after spending minutes and hours looking through the threads.
My point is that for someone coming into this it would be helpful to have a dedicated forum to “Outdated” or “Archieve” and put issues regarding 3.1 and below in that forum at the sametime it would have been helpful to see a high archy starting with “Version Number” -> Developer, User, Help format so that I could go to threads that are releavent to my issues.
Here again I can agree with all of ya’lls points BUT since I am the “new guy” on the block I thought a little feed back might give some perspective.
Thanks again Brady and others for overseeing this project I have enjoyed learning from it!!

I for one have found searching through the old forums clunky and hard enough that it is quicker and faster just to re-ask the same question. I think these are very valid points.
Is there a way to mirror the forum content to oemr.org so that we can make these forums more search friendly?
It would be great if at the end of a topic we had a systematic way of indicating how a particular question was resolved. Frequently a topic just stops without a posted resolution.
Having these sorted by version would also be a nice feature.

Hi Everybody - My Two cents;
Brady - I agree completely, the 3.3 version should be called 4.0 for actual release because of the amount of changes.
Re the previous forums threads - I agree that we should publish resolutions. But I think we have a usable framework in the Wiki. How about we ask that those who fix a problem produce a HowTo, or ask that of guys like me (who may not really grasp all the problem details 
who are willing to write.
Re the Raj issue of Calendar Print - is there any possibility that the fact that it carries to a second page is affected by browser? Could it be reduced to a single page for a single day, since the week and month views both are? Would that fix the issue?
I have not yet been able to test the Ajax file. Not sure if it ONLY applies to 3.2 or can retro to 3.1 with Patch 5. Plan to test both.

Followup to my comments above re ajax - results of testing;
a) Raj change I am aware of seems to make the comments display for the day view if Outlook is chosen, but the small size prevents it for week view. None display comments for month or year view.
b) Fancy choice displays comments for both Day and Week views, since the week view is merely stacking the days atop one another. The Default view does NOT display any comments at all per Raj fix.
c) Above is true for both 3.1.0 with patch 5 and for 3.2. Suggestion, Raj (and for anyone else making changes); It was hard to find the changes, so you might want to put a date and your initials as well as a description about 90% to the right, which will stand out in code review in an editor. I’ll send Raj an example of what I mean in his code.
d) Odd behavior - on both 3.2 and 3.1 versions, once the change had been implemented, returning to the prior version without Raj’s change made no difference - the comments continue to display per above. That is not the first time I have seen such irreversible - see my bug tracker re GIF.
Nice Job Raj - seems to work very well, allows for significant text (limit is the size of the schedule “block”), and works with at least the 3.1.0 with patch 5, as well as the 3.2.

Joe,
thanks for your comments. Where the fis is done you will see my intials SR…may be it is hard to look at but if you comapre using " Beyond compare " it highlights the difference. With outlook there are lots of probelms when the names are stcked on above the other. The calendar code is not very simple like lots of other codes in the system. It is very hard to fing what is happening. The table is baiscally in two blocks and if I try reduce the size so that the orint can come in one page then time line and the appointments move differently since they two independant blocks. I am studying the code. Calendar is the first thing a customer sees.

dlee5400,
The search results can be ordered by date (most recent first) by clicking on the date heading. Search has always worked for me, but I’m accustomed to sourceforge’s slow speed (all of its tools are slow). The main issue I have with this forum is that sourceforge doesn’t allow search engine indexing by google etc.
Joe and Raj,
what is the ajax file that your testing?

Hi Tony,
Sorry for this delayed response…I was busy with some personal commitments. I did not unserstand your statement ’ Create a diff -u patch ’ Pardon my igonarance…This is the first I am going to put something in the tracker. I thought I can place the modified file with the not there. The calendar with the comments works very well and consistantly and now others can use it too.

Brady & Raj;
In reply to Brady question, the ajax_template.html file is that in the Day view for the calendar, although as I noted the text shows up in the “fancy” week view because it is merely stacking seven days.
Raj; I don’t want to step on your toes, so I’ll leave it to you to give Brady the details. As I noted I am only aware of the small section you added based on my text match search for “comment” around line 625. If you modified other, I am unaware. BTW, I have implemented it for Lynne, who likes the capability very much ;-) I created for her a “pseudo user” so she could schedule things like Re-Auths, med renewals, patient prompts, etc without cluttering her real calendar. I can’t remember if I did a HowTo about it, or just explained it to her and her biller. I’ll look. Gettin’ old sucks.
All; Why would Sourceforge wish to prevent someone like Google from indexing information to help users find it at Sourceforge?

Joe,
Regarding google indexing, I asked sourceforge that a year or so ago. Their response was all the hits by the indexing robots (these are processes the search engines run continuously to collect information from websites), would slow down sourceforge even further. Feel free to ask them again.
Thanks for posting more docs to the wiki. When posting user/configuration documents, please remember most users are using the current production version (now 3.2). So, if describing a feature not in the production version, ensure you make it very clear it (better yet, remove it for now, and then add it back when it gets into a 3.2 patch; BTW, I haven’t even seen this code yet, looking forward to seeing it posted to the tracker). Also, a minor issue in the wiki is to keep the titles in the User Manual section alphabetized.
thanks,
brady
