There is a patch on GitHub, that is supposed to allow the Calendar display in OpenEMR to hide appointment entries that have been marked cancelled, but it doesn’t work. It seems there is something missing from the patch code on GitHub, or that there’s at least one more calendar display file that needs to be updated to allow this to work. Anyone have any experience with this? A lot of docs don’t like to delete appointments, but they don’t like seeing people’s names on the calendar if it’s known that they’re not going to keep the appointment.
Patch is here:
Anybody know what the missing piece to the puzzle is?

Sometimes when making changes to calendar files (or any pages which use smarty templates) the modifications don’t get applied because of permissions issues with the interface/main/calendar/modules/PostCalendar/pntemplates/compiled/ directory.
Deleting the existing files and verifying that the web server has permissions to make updates in that directory might solve the problem you are having.
Thank you, MD Support! That is a perfectly acceptable fix for current requirements, but having the ability to filter/customize the calendar view on a per-user basis is definitely something to work on.
