• PWAppV2.0 Pre-Release

    MattBurke released this 2023-07-27 19:18:46 -04:00 | 10 commits to master since this release

    Installation instuctions:

    1. Download the .zip file below
    2. Extract the PWAPP directory from the .zip DIRECTLY TO THE C:\ DIRECTORY. When OpenDental runs an external app, the app runs from the OpenDental installation directory, therefore making all relative paths invalid. Because of this idiotic decision by OpenDental, all file paths in PWApp are currently hardcoded to C:\PWAPP\
    3. Navigate inside the PWAPP folder into the Config folder
    4. Open Config.xml in your favorite text editor
    5. Edit ODhost, ODdatabase, ODuser, ODroot, and ODpassword to reflect the Open Dental settings for the local site
    6. Edit pwuserid, pwpassword, pwpracticeid, and pwapiid to reflect the PatientWeb settings for the local site. If the site is a test site, leave these settings as is.
    7. Save and exit the document.
