Hello guys and gals.

I’m in the process of customizing OpenEMR for a friend who’s openning a mental health clinic, while creating over 10 customs forms, each with several pages.

Since the smallest form I have made so far had over 300 individual fields, I realized from the get go that I needed to automate somehow the extraction of the fields from the new.php file, in order to generate the save.php script and the table.sql file for the DB.

This is why I made a script that extracts all the fields from any given form and generates the save.php script and the SQL file too. I’m thinking of also generating the view.php file from the new.php form.

I would like to contribute this back to the community but I have no idea where to put them on Github, or if something similar already exists. I thought that maybe modules could be an appropriate place.

I would really appreciate your help. Please also bear in mind that I’m an EE not a developer.

Thanks,

Adan.

Thank you for spending additional time to implement your logic in code.

From your description it sounds like a helper utility for developers. If so, your contribution could follow structure similar to XML Form Generator. Be sure to include recipes from concept to production targeted for someone like yourself in mind.

Once ready, you should submit a pull request in github for community review.
