I wrote a custom report page for handling our scheduling tailored to the specific needs of my practice.
When I insert a calendar event, it shows up in the patient’s summary/demographic page as an appointment, but it does not show in the main calendar on the home page. I tried almost everything and I cannot figure out what I am missing that is causing my entries not to show. I read through some of Rod’s calendar code and noticed he inserts large strings into pc_recurrtype, pc_recurrfreq or maybe pc_recurrspec. He describes in his comments that these large, indecipherable strings are garbage that must be inserted. I wonder if this is what I am missing. I have tried everything else.
Also, is it correct to assume that setting pc_eventstatus=0 is the same as deleting an event?
If you are using the CVS version, are you using the old-style calendar?
It’s the default one so if you haven’t changed any setting. Try out the new style. It’s a per-User setting that can be changed by editing a User and choosing the Outlook style calendar.
If you’re using the old style calendar you’ll need to make sure you have defined IN-OFFICE **AND** OUT-OF-OFFICE events in your calendar. The old style calendar will not show any events unless you have those two special events defined for the days in which you have patient appointments.
