Ok, it seems so far the onsite patient portal in openemr does not support php74 yet. That is why I have been getting the error message. The developers, @sjpadgett is working on this. ---

😂 No, now, my foot now is up in the air, where the surgeon told me to keep it. It now has a lot of hardware. 😶 I did learn my lesson. Next time, go to a friends how and play their piano! ---

Well, more time for me to test openemr and update documentation and be at the developers beck and call literally, I will be non weight bearing for two months. Which means the whole summer in Buffalo, NY. Hence, send little jobs my way if you would like. ---

Hi Orlando, Glad the patch helped out. Once patch 4 is officially released then your About version will reflect the new patch level and welcome to the community. ---

Hi there, I would like to help regarding the CMS portal (onsite portal seems to be nice but I prefer the off site way regarding sécurity). May I help for test ? (good knowledge to use OEMR & WP but french native speaker…) ---

Sorry, I’m not an expert and maybe wrong. As it serves on the same site than OEMR, it needs to open the OEMR site access from the web. I was thinking that it was more secure to restrict access to OEMR site and let an access only from OEMR to WP to download entries and integrate it to OEMR. ---

yeah, form that point of view, you’re right. I just don’t like WP sites. Not because of the WP CMS framework so much as WP sites attract hackers like moths to a flame!🙂 Sorry for misunderstanding. ---

@sjpadgett @Brahim I agree, with both, that is why I believe it should be the end user’s choice, since it is the end user’s responsibility. Also, removing all other portals, would also affect ZHHealthcare, no? Anyway, regarding the WP site, if the data is stored temporarily in a WP database, then would it still be exposed to hackers? Because once it is moved to the openemr database then it is more protected.+ ---

Correct, there’s no perfect solution. I’m trying to install OEMR in France for schools & medical practice which is a great solution. To have the choice is the best solution. I’ve never really used the onsite portal and will take some times this week to know it more. ---

I am really liking the onsite portal. But I would like the opportunity to compare it with the WP portal.
