Lists and Layouts

These are mechanisms for storage, modification, and output of lists and layouts in OpenEMR. We are standarizing this process with functions to ensure proper translation.

Functions in the openemr/library/options.inc.php file:

• generate_form_field() is to create the input form entry for a selected list.
• generate_display_field() is to generate output for a selected list item.
• display_layout_rows() is to generate output for a selected layout.
• get_layout_form_value() is to collect specific layout form values.
• generate_layout_validation() is for layout form validation.

Functions in openemr/library/translations.inc.php:

• xl_list_label() ; Translates via the xl() function only if globals.php is set to translate lists.
• xl_layout_label() ; Translates via the xl() function only if globals.php is set to translate layouts.

What is missing?

• A generic method to display the layout input forms.
