Hi Alejandro, Thank you very much for your email, and very helpful comments. I am an accountant, and not a clinician, so I have always tried not to interfere with the workflow in care2x, unless otherwise instructed by clinicians.
If you select "login" from the menu on the left, and login from there it shouldn't keep asking for repeated logins. It will time out after an interval but off the top if my head I can't remember what that interval is. I am aware that there are bugs in the demo I put online, the code didn't run at all on PHP7.x so I have done my best to get something running, and I fixed most of the bugs, but I know it is not 100%. As a humble bean counter I have always found the care2x code complex and impenetrable. Our first aim was to simplify the code, so that people who aren't professional coders can understand it, take it and build upon it for their own needs. We have adopted the process as Kizito suggested of taking the existing functionality and mapping it exactly in the new code. I realise what we are doing won't be to the satisfaction of everyone but they are also free to take the code and adapt it as well. Truth is I hadn't planned to say anything about our plans at this time until we had some new code to demonstrate, but when Kizito posted his mail I wanted to respond in some fashion. Your email has been circulated to all my colleagues so that we can take your comments into account, and further ideas from a clinician such as yourself are most welcome.
