Fax/Scan option availability

Hi
  The Fax/Scan option shows when I set concurrent_layout=true but is not a menu option when set to false.  In M$ terms is this an undocumented feature?;)  Or is there something else I need to do?

Thanks
Alfonso

It’s called “Docs” in the old layout.  If you don’t see that, you might need to upgrade to current CVS (a good thing to do anyway).

Hi Rod
  I am using the latest CVS.  I have documents under patient records but that doesnt look the same.
Thanks

No, it’s “Docs” in the main menu.  For this to appear you need to have either $GLOBALS[‘hylafax_server’] or $GLOBALS[‘scanner_output_directory’] set to something in globals.php.  See interface/main/main_navigation.php if you need to troubleshoot.

Yes your right.  I checked and you do need to set it in globals.php (at least the scanner_output_directory), but that seems inconsistent.  Shouldn’t both menus display or not display the option based on the globals.php settings?

Thanks

Yes it would make sense for them to be consistent.

So I have the hylafax server on another computer.  What should I put in global.php to point to this fax server.  While we are at it, my scanner is also on this faxserver, how should I set this up?
