Known Issues

Bug 1 (Solved in SVN now)

On a fresh install, when the first person is created from the personell_admin, on form submission, we get a blank page.

The person table is updated (if image was added, 0.jpg was entered).
The person_insurance table is updated with pid=0 !

Hence the person's insurance details are not displayed! All subsequent persons are added correctly.

Further info is that the first person's image (if provided at the time of registration itself) gets stored as 0.jpg (or whatever file extension). The pid in the person table is fine. The pid in the person_insurance table is 0.

Workaround:

Add first person without picture and without insurance.
Uodate the person with the picture and insurance if needed.

Bug 2 (Solved in SVN now)

add first person (from personell_admin) - no pix, no insurance
assign person as employee -> save

Page shows blank details on view template page.
DB shows person assigned.
Ssearch employee shows employee in list.
Subsequent employees are added and shown correctly.
First employee subsequently shown correctly.

Bug 3

System Admin -> Access Permissions -> Dept Admin -> List Dept

Any Department that is a sub dept will not show up.
Any dept that does not belong to this institution will not show up.

The Fix:

System Admin -> Access Permissions -> Dept Admin -> Config Options

All Departments will show up
Edit specific dept to be a non sub dept with no parent dept
Make dept belong to this institution
Now the dept will show up in the List Menu.

By default, the General Outpatient Clinic dept is a sub dept of the Internal Medicine Dept and hence will not show up in the List Menu. This workaround will fix it. The default install has now been changed to make General Outpatient Clinic as a parent dept.

Bug 4

Since UTF8 is now the default encoding for all HTML and PHP output in the current SVN, we find that the Euro and Pound signs may not display crrectly on for example in the Menu:

System Admin -> Access Permissions -> GUI - Set Currency page.

Workaround: On the browser, choose the encoding to be:

Western European (Windows) in MSIE or
View-Character Encoding->Western(ISO-8859-1) in FireFox.

Passwords in Care2x v2.6.x

All user passwords are stored as MD5 hash of the clear text password in the care_users table. In case you have forgotten your admin password, you can give yourself another one by executing the following MySQL command:

UPDATE `care_users` SET `password`=MD5('mynewpassword') WHERE `login_id`='admin';

Now your new password would be mynewpassword and if your initial install admin user was not admin, alter the SQL statement above accordingly.
