No Program Link Button Option for Manage Module

Post by Hersheydmd » Fri Jan 31, 2014 6:47 am

I just noticed that there is no option to insert a Program Link button on the Manage Module.
The choices listed are:
  • Account Module
    Appt Module
    Chart Module
    Images Module
    Family Module
    TreatmentPlan Module
    ClaimsSend
    All Modules
Not sure why one of the choices is ClaimsSend. Doesn't seem to to anything.

Using v. 13.1.52

You found a pretty old part of the code my friend. It looks like that setting got deprecated way back in the day. I can only trace it back to v4.7 (roughly around 2007) and it could have been abandoned prior to that for all I know.
As for the Manage module, my guess is that it was just never necessary to have the extra row taking up space at the top of the module. I think people don't use it that often (with bridges especially) and when they do, having the bridge show in All Modules is sufficient.
The best thing about a boolean is even if you are wrong, you are only off by a bit.

Hmp. I just installed DrTech's plugin and thought the best place for the button would be on the Manage Module. No need to have it anywhere else. Ended up putting it on the Acct Module, even though I don't think it belongs there.

In my latest version, OD Gold Plugin v13.2.19, you can just forgo the button completely as I have setup accessible from the menu bar

Couldn't download the plugin for 13.2, so I installed the plugin for 13.1
It worked except every time I opened the chart module OD crashed.

Another interesting finding was that installing it on one workstation (Program Files\Opendental) enabled it on all workstations, even though the .dll was only on the one workstation.
