Ah sorry. The branch we are using is the 2.7 branch https://github.com/care2x/2.7 This branch is one that I know is in use in many hospitals which is important for hospitals to upgrade, and it is the only one being actively developed. Thanks Tim On 28 April 2016 at 08:53, David Sarmiento Q.

I think that there were a few issues that arise from the ELCT project that we can learn from moving forward. Firstly they used a non standard version of care2x which meant that any bug fixes etc applied to the main version weren't always included in their version. I think it is very important to

Most open source projects survive fine without direct funding of developers. In fact that kind of direct funding can be a curse as it discourages any voluntary developers and then when the funding dries up so does the development. My experience is that there are plenty of hospitals/health

Hi David, I will write something on the github wiki site and post a link here. Basically every page has a custom error_reporting() level set to hide any warnings and notices, some of which are inconsequential, some of which are obscuring real errors. My next plan is to remove all these and create

Ok. So Tim, it looks like you already started looking at code, do you think you could make a list of where the errors and warnings are, so we can get a list of stuff to do and split it among us? On Apr 25, 2016 10:59 AM, "Tim Schofield" wrote: > Agree 100%. > >

Sure, it makes sense to make sure what we have works before we lose even the few clients who are our champions once they know we are still active. Then it makes sense to improve the code, because, right now, it's a nightmare to find where something is and you can't really tell what does what and

Hi David, I wasn't taking offence, email can be such a difficult medium for getting a sentiment across :) Re-writing care2x has been discussed for well over a decade. My first contribution to the project was an email on the subject nearly ten years ago and it was considered a very old topic then.

Hi Israel, I think you will find it only *appears* to work in 5.6 as a lot of issues are being suppressed with the use of overly forgiving error_reporting() settings in individual scripts. PHP 7 won't work as a number of things deprecated in the 5 series have been removed entirely. Thanks Tim On
