New to Ubuntu and OpenEMR

[eaganchiro123]

Hello,

I am new to Ubuntu and Open EMR. How do I change the Navigation/visual layout to radio buttons in OpenEMR.

I followed the directions at that stated to: OpenEMR now has three visual layouts to choose from; traditional, frames with radio buttons, and frames with tree view selection (screenshots of each of these are shown below). The layout is chosen by editing the openemr/interface/globals.php file here:

// Set this to 1 or 2 to activate support for the new frame layout.
// 0 = Old-style layout
// 1 = Navigation menu consists of pairs of radio buttons
// 2 = Navigation menu is a tree view
//
$GLOBALS['concurrent_layout'] = 1;

I put the file openemr/interface/globals.php into the command line in the terminal. I got the message: No file found.

What am I doing wrong?

I put the file openemr/interface/globals.php into the command line in the terminal. I got the message: No file found.

What do you mean by this? You just typed openemr/interface/globals.php ? You need to specify a text editor to edit the file, for example

gedit openemr/interface/globals.php

As is, you're also looking for this path beginning in the current directory, so you may need to change directories, or indicate the full path, something like

gedit /var/www/html/openemr/interface/globals.php

Hello Reed9,

I followed the directions put forth at this OpenEMR link to change to a radio button navigation style:
oemr.org/modules/wiwimod/index.php

I could not get it to work. Any suggestions?

I'm afraid I'm completely unfamiliar with the software. Did you find and edit the file and it still doesn't work?

Thank you for your help. I input what you suggested, A file window opens, but there are no file in the window to change. I will have to contact the software developer.

Thank you again,

Mike
