- Updated all controllers: Opd, Diagnosis, Billing\Charges, Billing\Ipd, Storestock, AbdmGateway
- freeserif provides better Unicode coverage and more readable font weight
- Ipd_discharge and DoctorDocument already used good fonts (freeserif/freesans)
- Added comprehensive font configuration documentation
Reduced sizes:
- Table width: 100% to 60%
- Debug text: 10px to 8px
- Triangle: 18px to 12px
- Number boxes: 14px to 10px with 3px padding
- Border: 3px to 2px for selected
- Labels: uniform 7px font
- Reduced all margins and spacing
Still maintains clear B&W visibility with triangle, gray background, and bold border.
PROBLEM: Emojis don't render in PDF (showing as empty boxes)
SOLUTION:
- Use down-pointing triangle (▼) using HTML entity ▼
- This Unicode character renders properly in mPDF/PDF generators
- Darker gray background (#cccccc) for better B&W visibility
- Bold 3px border on selected box
- Larger font and padding for selected number
Visual indicators that work in B&W printing:
- Triangle (▼) above selected level
- Dark gray shading on selected box
- Bold border on selected box
- Bold text for selected label
PROBLEM: Color coding not visible in black & white printers
SOLUTION:
- Added emoji indicators: 😊😐😣😖😭 for pain levels 0-4
- Changed colors to black/white/gray for B&W compatibility
- Emoji shows above selected pain level (larger size)
- Bold 3px border on selected box (visible in B&W)
- Light gray background on selected box
Now pain scale is clear even in monochrome printing!
PROBLEM: Static pains_scale_0-4.png files all look identical (just gradient)
so users can't tell which pain level is selected.
SOLUTION: Comment out PNG file checking code to force use of dynamic HTML
with arrow indicator, colored backgrounds, and bold borders.
Now {{painscale_img}} will show:
- Debug line: 'Pain Level: X - Label'
- Down arrow (▼) above selected level
- Colored background (green to red) on selected box
- Bold 3px border on selected box
- Different pain values will have visibly different displays
- Add 'Pain Level: X - Label' text above pain scale for debugging
- Helps identify if pain_value is being read correctly from database
- Fix comparison to use strict equality check for ===
- User can now see which pain level is actually being rendered
- Change checkmark to down arrow (▼) for better visibility in PDFs
- Increase arrow size to 20px and make it bold
- Use white background for non-selected boxes for stronger contrast
- Add thick black border (3px) on selected level for emphasis
- Selected box shows colored background with white text
- Increase selected label text size and make it bold black
- Clear visual distinction between selected (value 2 vs 4) levels now
- Add fallback to 'logo.png' when H_logo is not set in database or constants
- Prevents {{H_logo}} placeholder from appearing as literal text in print/PDF
- Resolves 400 Bad Request error when browser tries to load unreplaced placeholder
- Ensures prescription templates always have a valid logo path
- Add checkmark (✓) above the selected pain intensity level
- Use color gradient from green (No Pain) to red (Worst) for better visual clarity
- Highlight selected level with colored background and white text
- Thicker border on selected level for better emphasis
- Bold label text for selected intensity
- Makes pain scale selection immediately visible in printed/PDF prescriptions
Modified {{investigation}} to show both:
1. Textarea content (advise_investigation_notes) if present
2. Comma-separated test list from opd_prescription_investigation table
Both sources combined with newline separator when both exist.
{{Tadvise_test_list}} still available separately for backward compatibility.
Example combined output:
USG WHOLE ABDOMEN
CECT ABDOMEN
PAC
COMPLETE CARDIAC CHECK UP
PAP SMEAR
CBC (Complete Blood Count), ECG (Electrocardiogram), HBA1C, HBSAG, HCV, HIV I & II (Elisa), Liver Function Test (LFT), PT/INR, Renal Function Test (RFT), Urine Routine & Microscopy, X-Ray Chest (PA View)
Changed placeholder behavior to match user requirements:
- {{investigation}} = textarea content (advise_investigation_notes) only
- {{Tadvise_test_list}} = comma-separated test names from table
Removed HTML bullet list formatting. Now outputs plain comma-separated text.
Example output:
CBC (Complete Blood Count), ECG (Electrocardiogram), HBA1C, HBSAG, HCV,
HIV I & II (Elisa), Liver Function Test (LFT), PT/INR, Renal Function Test (RFT),
Urine Routine & Microscopy, X-Ray Chest (PA View)
Both placeholders are independent and can show content simultaneously.
When opd_prescription_investigation table is empty but investigation
textarea has content, parse textarea content (split by newlines) to
populate the test list.
This handles cases where tests are entered as free-text in the
"Advise Investigation" textarea instead of selecting from master list.
Parsing logic:
- Try rx_investigations table first
- If empty, split investigation textarea by newlines
- Filter out empty lines and 'null' values
- Build HTML bullet list from either source
Example textarea content:
USG WHOLE ABDOMEN
CECT ABDOMEN
PAC
COMPLETE CARDIAC CHECK UP
PAP SMEAR
Will render as:
• USG WHOLE ABDOMEN
• CECT ABDOMEN
• PAC
• COMPLETE CARDIAC CHECK UP
• PAP SMEAR
Added try-catch around mPDF WriteHTML to catch rendering errors.
Changed debug_html mode to output as text/html for better preview.
Logs mPDF errors and returns user-friendly error message.
This will help diagnose blank page issues with {{Tadvise_test_list}} placeholder.
Previous implementation only built test list when investigation textarea
was empty, preventing {{Tadvise_test_list}} from showing when textarea
had content.
Changes:
- Separated test list building from textarea population logic
- {{Tadvise_test_list}} now always populates when rx_investigations exists
- {{investigation}} still gets comma-separated fallback when textarea empty
- Both placeholders now work independently
Test list HTML output format:
<ul style="margin:3px 0 0 16px;padding:0;list-style-type:disc;">
<li>CBC (Complete Blood Count)</li>
<li>ECG (Electrocardiogram)</li>
<li>HBA1C</li>
</ul>
Created new OPD template placeholder to display investigation test names
as a formatted HTML list, separate from the textarea {{investigation}}.
Changes:
- app/Controllers/Opd.php:
* Added $rxInvestigationTestList variable in buildLegacyDashboardTemplateVars()
* Builds HTML <ul> list from rx_investigations test names
* Added 'Tadvise_test_list' token to return array
- app/Views/billing/opd_template_builder.php:
* Added 'Tadvise_test_list' to $opdConsultSet placeholder list
* Now appears in "OPD Consult" group in template builder
Usage in OPD templates:
- {{investigation}} = comma-separated test names (for textarea)
- {{Tadvise_test_list}} = formatted HTML bullet list of test names (for print/display)
Example output:
<ul style="margin:3px 0 0 16px;padding:0;list-style-type:disc;">
<li>CBC (Complete Blood Count)</li>
<li>USG WHOLE ABDOMEN</li>
<li>ECG (Electrocardiogram)</li>
</ul>
