This link has downloads, user manuals, and installation instructions for both Windows and Linux:

This most current documentation is here:

http://www.oemr.org/OpenEMRWiki

i have ewritten an ankle injury template and it in the contributions directory in openemr.  It is more family practice oriented but should give you a jumping off point.

" in the contributions directory in openemr"

OK, you mean on sourceforge?
I can’t find a contributions tab
I have found a list of what looked like that type of files in the past but I can’t seem to get back there.
Hmmm

when you unpack the download, or if you are using cvs,
under your main directory, openemr, there are many other directories, look for the contents under the ‘documentation’ directory and under the ‘contrib’ dir.
openemr/documentation has lots of info
openemr/contrib/forms has many forms
openemr/contrib/forms/formmaker contains a perl app to help you generating forms, (it should be placed in a better place though)

sweet, thanks Andres

Say, as I do make some Orthopaedic forms, how would I go about contributing them to the community?

I’ve seen the contributed forms directory. How do we get those to show up under Forms Administration in oemr, or is there another way to go about using them?

There is no openemr/contrib/forms  in the current dstribution?

Once you have a working form you move the folder with each of the files into

openemr/interface/forms

The next time you go into the administration/forms settings, your new form will be at the bottom of the page.

You install the form by clicking in order:
register
install DB
disabled

The first click transfers your form up from "unregistered" to registered.  Subsequent clicks will show what the next action should be and then the background should change from pink to light green.

Hi Remoore,
When you have your form, please tar, or zip, it and send it to any of the developers, we will be very happy to have it included in the CVS.
