xdr software works fine. I know lots of people use Aptryx, but if you get XDR sensors, no reason really to use something else.

Don't pay that kind of $ at all! I set up all my computers in my office (around 20) for around $5000-$8000 over the last few years. I always buy reconditioned or great deal used computers and they work great and will save you lots of $. Don't spend more than $400-$500 for your computers. Then get a ...

drtech

nice...I never knew about this "non income transfer"

drtech

very useful for changing mis-entered procedures!

drtech

negative adjustment, then positive adjustment to match

drtech

I would be interested in trying this out...I have lots of Linux experience, but no heartbeat or DRBD experience.

drtech

nice work

drtech

I don't like it at all

drtech

Bill, so are you releasing your source code under GPL like OD or keeping it proprietary/in house only? I am thinking about getting into conscious sedation and will need to record vitals, etc and was looking to play around with the great work it looks like you have done with your plugins.

drtech

I think we lost a feature somewhere along the line...when you open the Make/Find appt window list for a pt it no longer scrolls to the bottom so you can see the current appts. This is very annoying as you have to scroll to the bottom every time to make it useful after the pt is with you for more tha...

drtech

drtech

nice, I like the hours feature

drtech

I rebuilt my machine...and now I can't get it to work. Works fine in debug mode, but release gives me sgen errors again...

drtech

i copy and paste controls

drtech

Right, that's what it looked like.

I think it should display Due: $100/mo in the upper box instead of Due: 100 (or whatever the amount is of course) to make it clearer...

drtech

Got my plugin adjusted to the changes in the account with installment plans, but wondering if there are enhancements to actually keep track if the pt made a payment or not? Currently it just always shows amt due as the installment plan amt no matter if the pt made any payments the last month or not?...

drtech

I tried this yesterday and it didn't work, now I tried it today (after trying many other things and restarting) and now it complies! Yeah! I spent literally 6 hours yesterday trying to get it to work again on my new install of windows on my same 'ol laptop!

drtech

Yes, good advice....in our office no one can edit payments except the two doctors. If the staff makes a mistake, they have to alert us and then we have to log in and "correct" it. Annoying at times, but it should reduce the chance for fraud.

drtech

debug mode is for looking to see if your code works without actually printing it everytime

drtech

you compiled in debug mode which prints to print screen, switch to release mode in C# and compile again...then it will work.

drtech

works fine, you can even put a more descriptive name instead of just the .1, etc if you want. it gets cut off on the claim, so it is only internal on the code field

drtech

no...that is just a guide...place a "note" appt for a fake pt named "Block" is what we do...works well for what you want.

drtech

I know it works with 12.2.20 as that is what I ran it with...you can wait for more debugging or just upgrade to the beta

drtech

ok...looks like trial and error here

drtech

http://www.smilecouple.org/opendental

Just posted v 1.4.2 of my plugin which fixes the math change in Open Dental that was causing the error.

I ran it with OD 12.2.20.
It should work with for anyone running OD 12.1.22 and above or 12.2.18 and above

drtech

ok...so I guess I need to update my plugin to decimals also. So, yes, it needs to be able to gracefully exit #1...and #2 if fairly significant changes are going to be made like that midversion...it would be helpful to post something in the developer section to warn that this could cause errors for p...

drtech

I determined OD breaks my plugin at SVN revision 8009 "pushing the Send Claim button was causing an error"....what was changed that did this?

drtech

Jay, just verifying with you that the plugin did work with OD v 12.1.17 right? From what I understood above, I indicated on the download page and that it breaks with 12.1.24. Best advise is just to update to 12.2.10 or above where I know it works in my office right now...testing 12.2.20 now just to ...

drtech

Jay...I am removing compatibility listing for 12.1.x on the plugin...I was sure it did work with 12.1.early versions, but I don't have one running to test again. I didn't actually ever run 12.1.x in my office....so I just tested it again with the old on on 12.0.x and the new one with 12.2.x and it w...

drtech

yes, Jordan I don't test the plugin with every single version update and would really like to stop having these errors with version changes... I would like some help to figure out how we can avoid this. Can a catch all exception handler be built into the OD plugin interface to gracefully skip using ...

drtech

Found the issue...only occurred on brand new installs because I forgot to reload the database's newly installed preferences after I inserted them. So like you said, it was there, but the program hadn't refreshed from the database those new preferences, so it registered as "does not exist." It didn't...

drtech

hum...so it was there, but then says it can't find it. I will try it myself on a test database and see if I get the same or similar result. What version of OD did you run it with? (all three numbers)

drtech

First time I have had this kind of issue, but no, my plugin does not alter anything in the database, just adds a few rows for preferences to turn features on and off. There must have been an issue different than mine on version upgrading since I have had each version in my test machine and you start...

drtech

hum...i will retest on a blank database....it only adds a few preferences, but if they don't get updated properly, then it could cause a problem as you experienced...

-->was this the first time you installed it or did you use a previous version before?

drtech

DrTechPlugin V 1.3.1 is ready for download that is tested up to Open Dental v12.2.10. Read the Changes listed in the download box.

http://www.smilecouple.org/2012/05/07/u ... -referrals

drtech

Never Mind, it looks like I already updated the plugin for that bug last month and didn't finish the version. PluginDrTech.dll V 1.3.1 works fine in 12.2 and probably 12.1 also....Will have it posted to the website after I make a few other changes.

drtech

Hum...I am trying out the plugin today with 12.2.10 and I am not getting any errors.

What steps did you take when you got this error...looks like viewing a statement?

drtech

not yet, I haven't upgraded myself in a few months. I was about to, so I will try to get the error corrected when I debug it.

The current one worked for about the last few versions without changes, but looks like another change broke the functionality...

drtech

Mark, We used Dentrix for 12 years before moving to Open Dental. It is much better. As Jordan will tell you, there are pros and cons of all software, but overall, OD is great.

Yes, you can open most anything anywhere at the same time. No restrictions.

drtech

yes, I have found graphic card's fans are the most common to quit and burn up...if you can get "silent" cards...they will not be as fast...but you don't need blazing fast for office applications...they just have huge heat sinks and no fans to go out...

drtech

Weave looks very nice...would be great to integrate that into OD....even if not fully integrated like weave, it would be great to have a better future contact system for tracking pts and when to call pts back.

drtech

Well, that make sense then! This whole time I thought it already did that but for some reason wasn't working right and that was why we always had to click the "set perio" button. Our staff will greatly appreciate it when that automation feature can be added.

drtech

I was thinking it would be very helpful if the filenames of files in the images folder were renamed to prepend all or part of the description set in OD. That way when you look at the actual file folder to attach files to emails, copy files out to look at outside of OD, you would know that the file w...

drtech

Yes, I know you have to manually change the interval if it is off of normal, but I meant that it does not set the status as "perio" (which is set to default to 4MR) instead of prophy (Set to default to 6MR) when the perio triggers are completed...isn't this how it is supposed to work? (most of ours ...

drtech

We seem to continue to have trouble with triggers on recall types. Lots of our perio pts have a recall type set as Prophy even though the procedures they have had completed are listed in the perio trigger setup. If we don't manually check every pt, lots of our pts that should be on 3-4month perio re...

drtech

set it up for her to use remote access, like Logmein free or something, and she can do it from home...that would be MUCH better and everything would be current and in sync.

drtech

prob could be done to use two in the same office, but no, I don't think it would be possible to use the same database for both. Now, you might be able to have one of the software programs USE the other sensor so you only have one database...

drtech

When we tested both in office, I liked the image quality from XDR better than Dexis...so even though Dexis says it is the best, I didn't think so. Their software certainly is more advanced, but we went with XDR three years ago and love it.

drtech

and if you don't have the tx in the system yet, you can just write on the planned appt what you want to do next in the note just like it was a piece of paper...

drtech

Thanks...that is a minor issue, but big on frustration factor and everyone at our office will appreciate it!

drtech

right, I think until we do all digital (if ever) then sending it with the case is the best...you have to send something to identify it anyway...thanks.

drtech

ok, well, we want the email in to sometimes email pictures but Never to send the lab slip, it goes with the physical case...not sure why you are thinking this would be the way we want it? I guess it will require another plugin change...

drtech

look forward to this in the future!

yes, we can't stand this and have to uncheck the email and click 1 for print ever time as well...

good thought about removing the email address...but then we can't email photos sometimes like we do...

V 12.0.2

Selecting individual items in the show tab results in nothing showing at all in the chart. If you set it up via a chart view it works fine.

i.e Show tab | None button | Treat Plan Check = nothing

drtech

Jordan, you are correct... I meant "procedure buttons" with multiple codes at once...

drtech

ditto...making separate codes with a suffix is how we do it (and then of course you want to use auto codes (correction..Procedure buttons with multiple codes) to insert multiple items at once to help you with automatic appointments so to speak.)

drtech

I bet I know what the problem is....if someone else is editing, you don't ever want to EDIT the exam at the same time or you might screw things up. If you only view it, it will not cause a problem.

you are correct in the Dexis will send you a new one...but the $ you will save by buying XDR initially and then you just put that $ in the bank will buy you a whole new sensor the next day if you break it.

drtech

make a custom "Patient Field Def" like "PPO/Fin Status" (that's what mine is), then in your appt view setup, have that field show right on the appt. It is not a color, but will do what you want. (you have to fill in the data in the family file.)

Shouldn't it default back to not being attached after a payment plan balance is $0? This is caus...

drtech

Yes, I would greatly appreciate text wrap also. notes have to be longer we find a lot of times and they become invisible. If you just include them in the progress notes like we described either above or in another thread that would also be great.

drtech

we only attach a note to one of the procedures completed for the day most of the time. This makes it much better to complete the appointment. The reason we went away form completing the procedures from the progress notes, is that one could be completed and then a duplicate would sometimes get comple...

instead of keeping track if your exam is done by marking it complete, make two new Appt statuses 1)"Need Dr. Exam" 2) "Dr. Exam Complete."

i figured it out. There are mutiple sgen.exe files. I was configuring the first one I found. The one you have to configure is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bin\NETFX 4.0 Tools."

if you want the fee to be the PPO plan only, then leave the type as a category %, if you want both your regular fee to show and the discount applied to make it the PPO fee, then assign the plan a PPO% (this is in each individual ins plan setup in the family file)

also, if the text boxes on the ortho chart window could automatically grow vertically for text that is longer than the specified column width like it does in the progress notes it would be very helpful.

drtech

What is the plan for release of beta 11.1? We can't wait to tryout the new graphical practice summary!

drtech

wonderful! This is great!

drtech

Jordan, is this possible for you to implement? I think it would be very helpful for plugin usage/development.

drtech

ahhh...ok, i didn't realize it would do that each date since I only tried one, I thought you had to click it each time to make a new entry

drtech

Jordan, When I click the Add date button in the lower left of the ortho chart window to add a new row, it is blank and I have to type in a date. Shouldn't it just automatically have today's date listed and highlighted so you only have to click ok unless you want a different date?

drtech

Thanks, I tired the manual install from the MySQL website a while back, and was having problems....but I am sure I just wasn't doing something right (obviously :p)

Yes, Jordan...you know 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration.

drtech

The bottom part is a grid where you set up the columns in the Display Fields setup. Then, you can start making dated entries.

Ok, that is what I was looking for....and the date needs to automatically default to today right? (right you now have to type in in manually, which is annoying...)

I would like to suggest and enhancement that could be made to the plugin framework that would make things smoother when errors or incompatibilities are encountered. With almost every major version upgrade (and a few minor versions) my plugin crashes OD with an unhandled exception because code change...

Just tested in 11.0.8 and I got the same issue.....I guess there could be an error in the hook for statements for plugins that is causing this to happen, I will check that, but I don't have any plugins that change anything with the e-mail function, so that doesn't make sense....

v 11.0.8 I seem to have a strange behavior on upgrade to v11 on my messaging lights. Row #4 for some reason lights up row #5. When you click on the button it doesn't do anything at all and when you click a message assigned to that row, I get #5 lighting up. I double checked the assignment...and when...

If you are and Ubuntu linux user, you know that for some reason, MySQL is not distributing a new installer package for debian based systems and after more than a year, no one has made a .deb file to use! After some headaches and trial and error, I finally got my office server converted to MySQL 5.5....

Anyone able to verify this Bug besides me?

anyone else agree/disagree with this?

svn beta 11.0.7 Being able to search in the Referral lists is great! In practice though it needs a tweak. If it would search to include anything *LIKE* the string instead of only if it starts with the string it would be much more useful. One character off and it doesn't work. For example: all my com...

I just pick one procedure and put the notes in that one. the rest of the items on the same day all fall together with that note. No grouping or anything needed.

OD v 7.9.13 I found a problem with sending a statement via e-mail using the drop down menu item from the arrow next to the "Statement" toolbar button on the account. If you click this button, the e-mail window comes up with a generated statement, but after you send it, it does not show up in the acc...

drtech

can you (or I) make a new configuration (Release/Debug/LinuxRelease + /PluginDebug) or something so that when I am running in debug that code is not running/compiling?

I tried to copy debug and make a new one, but that didn't work...

drtech

I attempted to make something like this a few years ago as an add on to OD, but didn't have the time to finish it. I would love to have this kind of thing be a part of Open Dental...maybe I will work on a plugin to have some of these features again...

works fine to build in release... but still gives EHR errors when I try to build in debug to test my plugin: #if DEBUG using EHR; #endif and all the code still in the #if DEBUG....did it get changed yet?

7.9.13 We have been having trouble with Lab Cases, with Lab scripts generated, completely disappearing over the past week. This may be a staff issue where someone is deleting them, but I have had 3 in the past 3 days and no one thinks they did it. (But that doesn't mean much :p ) Trying to see if an...

thanks, will try it now...

drtech

ok... so, you have the includes only with debug...so to run debug I have to manually edit all those out? Also, line 215 in FormRxSend.cs in project OpenDental does not build b/c EHR does not exist in the current context....I am going to just have to comment this out or can you get it to only use tha...

For the new verions 11.0, I think you forgot to add the xEHR folder/project to the SVN. It won't load when I try to build the program and the project is listed as "unavailable."

Thanks..

drtech

After 7.9, the next version is going to be based on the year.

So, the next version is 11.0 for the first one with this new numbering system in 2011.

drtech

Thanks...

OpenDental version 7.9.7 broke my plugin again as a function I was using was removed. I had to fix it and release a new version which is now on the website for OD versions 7.8.7 and later. This has never happened before mid version, but really caused problems at my office. I hope this is not a regul...

drtech

I don't have a screenshot of the referral part up there, but yes, it is completely stable if you use and follow the proper versions. Anytime you do a major version upgrade you usually should check first to see if I have a new plugin available. I always have one before it is out of beta, but not alwa...

3. why do you have to go through the family module to make a referral? My plugin solves this problem and enhances referrals access quite a bit. I use it all the time everyday and it gives access in the chart (where you really need it) and account (so the front desk can see it and make the phone call...

it show again by itself after about 10 minutes or instantly on another computer so that you don't get annoyed with it when you already saw it, but reminded again later or someone else is reminded on another computer

We made a dummy pt called "office note" and create a "note" appt on the day that something needs to be done and then we see it on that day.

Yes, the task list dated function is pretty much non functional and needs significant improvements to make it actually work.

drtech

you have to also check the box..."Is Hyg" right below the secondary provider box in the appt edit window.

drtech

so...now, all my scanned images from yesterday are not there because I guess it stored those directly in the database? What do I do now to get them back to normal?

drtech

I fixed the problem here, somehow the data path option was changed to store images directly in the database without me changing it. Either someone did it by mistake or on upgrade something was switched...might want to verify the latter is not the case. Thanks.

Wow! $800 a month!? For that price, setup your own secure remote server at home and use secure and encrypted SSL to transfer your files for remote backup.

Go with OD...pay Jordan and his team for support and you will not be disappointed. Or...if you are a programmer, you can compile it yourself for no cost while you get your feet wet!

We use planned appts almost all the time....supposed to anyway.

I think pop ups are a great idea, the problem is implementation. The problem with popping up the form for the pt when you mark them as checked in...are they going to fill it out on the same computer as you checked them in?

I have about 25 computers and Direct X works on all of them fine...including the cards listed above....so I wonder what the problem actually is? It is not the specific hardware mentioned, it must be a software problem somewhere....the question is where?

drtech

you should make a planned appt for your seat appt and then create the lab case from there. Then you will schedule the planned appt and everything will be neatly attached already for you.

Itronix GD3000
I got one and it works pretty nice.

Only problem I have is that it will not default to the wifi on when turning on or coming out of sleep? Do you have this problem too? It was originally setup to defualt to 3G. Any Help with this bug?

drtech

I think it is a good idea...minor versions the month?

Direct X works great for me on all kinds of nVidia gforce cards 6200, 8200, 8400, 8600, 9800...winXP 32bit, Win7 64bit, and Win7 32bit

Did you make sure any integrated graphics chip is disabled on your motherboard in the BIOS?

drtech

yes, if you want something different, you can modify the source code. if you want ease of not having to do this for every version update, you need to make a plugin to modify instead of directly...or as long as OD doesn't change the same code in a new version, you can leave your pop-up bubble code ch...
