ISSUE 1: {{SIGNATURE_BLOCK}} placeholder not working
- Signature extraction was using wrong end markers
- Start: 'Signature of Consultant'
- End: 'Signature of Medical Officer', 'Signature of Receiver / Date'
- Problem: All three texts are in SAME table row
- Extraction cut off too early (found end marker immediately after start)
FIX: Remove end markers for signature block extraction
- Signature table is LAST element in content
- Extract from 'Signature of Consultant' to end of content
- Now captures entire signature table correctly
ISSUE 2: Other Advice not showing in PDF
- Cached content was generated BEFORE 'Other Advice:' label was added
- Database has data but cached HTML doesn't include label
FIX: Created cache clearing utility
- clear_discharge_cache.php script
- Clears cached content for specified IPD
- Forces regeneration with new labels
DEBUG TOOLS ADDED:
- debug_discharge_content.php - Check what's in cached content
- clear_discharge_cache.php - Clear cache to force regeneration
TESTING:
1. php clear_discharge_cache.php 1
2. Visit /Ipd_discharge/preview_discharge_report/1?regen=1
3. Verify PDF shows Other Advice: and Discharge Summary: labels
4. Verify {{SIGNATURE_BLOCK}} placeholder works in templates
Created DISCHARGE_TEMPLATE_PLACEHOLDERS.md with complete reference:
- Hospital information placeholders
- Patient information placeholders
- Admission and discharge date/time placeholders
- Medical information placeholders
- Clinical content section placeholders
- NEW: Separate placeholders for OTHER_ADVICE and DISCHARGE_ADVICE
- Signature block placeholder
- Legacy CI3 compatibility aliases
- Example template with proper usage
Documentation shows all available tokens that can be used in discharge templates
with descriptions and examples for each placeholder.
ISSUE 1: Discharge Summary showing in PDF but without label
ISSUE 2: Need separate placeholders for Other Advice and Discharge Summary
FIX 1: Added label to instruction_remark in PDF
- Added Discharge Summary: label before instruction_remark content
FIX 2: Added new placeholders for template flexibility
- OTHER_ADVICE - Shows only Other Advice field
- INSTRUCTION_REMARK or DISCHARGE_ADVICE - Shows only Discharge Summary field
- DISCHARGE_INSTRUCTIONS - Shows full section with all advice
Now templates can control what appears where using specific placeholders.
CHANGES:
1. Line 2248 - Added Discharge Summary: label
2. Line 574-575 - Extract new tokens from content
3. Line 579-581 - Add tokens to vars array
4. Line 520-522 - Add markers to extraction list
TESTING: Go to discharge PDF and verify labels show correctly
ISSUE: instruction_remark (Discharge Summary) data appearing in instruction_other (Other Advice) field after save
ROOT CAUSE: Legacy table sync was writing wrong variable
- Save handler at line 5478 was writing \ to legacy food_text
- Should have been writing \
- When legacy fallback loads (if food_ids empty), wrong data copied to instruction_other
FIX: Changed line 5478 in Ipd_discharge.php
- Before: \['food_text'] = \;
- After: \['food_text'] = \;
FILES MODIFIED:
1. app/Controllers/Ipd_discharge.php - Fixed legacy save handler
2. app/Views/billing/ipd/discharge_create.php - Removed debug comments
TESTING STEPS:
1. Clear corrupt legacy data: php clear_legacy_food.php 1
2. Go to /Ipd_discharge/ipd_select/1
3. Clear both fields
4. Type 'Hello Other' in Other Advice
5. Type 'Hello Discharge' in Discharge Summary
6. Click 'Save Discharge Advice'
7. After reload: Other Advice should show 'Hello Other', NOT 'Hello Discharge'
SCRIPTS ADDED:
- check_instruction_db.php - Check database values
- check_legacy_food.php - Check legacy table
- clear_legacy_food.php - Clean corrupt legacy data
- list_instruction_records.php - List all records
ISSUE 2: After clicking 'Save Discharge Advice', CKEditor turns into plain textarea
ROOT CAUSE: initInstructionTools() was not re-initializing CKEditor after AJAX section reload
- When user clicks button with data-reload-section='section-instructions'
- Form submits via AJAX, returns updated HTML
- Section content replaced with new HTML
- initInstructionTools() called but did NOT restore CKEditor
- Fields remain as plain textareas
SOLUTION: Added CKEditor re-initialization to initInstructionTools()
Changes to discharge_create.php initInstructionTools():
1. Check if CKEDITOR is available
2. Destroy existing instances first (instruction_other, instruction_remark)
3. Re-create CKEditor for both fields with same config
4. Prevents duplicate instances and ensures editors work after reload
TESTING:
- Type in instruction_remark or instruction_other
- Click 'Save Discharge Advice'
- After reload, both fields should still be CKEditor (not textarea)
- Can continue editing with toolbar
NOTE: Issue 1 (data mixing between fields) requires separate investigation
User can test with: php check_instruction_data.php to see actual DB values
Added sanitizeCKEditorSpecialChars() method to handle smart quotes, zero-width spaces, em/en dashes, and other special characters that can break mPDF.
Removes invisible Unicode chars, replaces special punctuation with ASCII equivalents, cleans HTML comments.
ISSUE: Templates auto-regenerate when deleted
User deletes template ID 3, page reload creates template ID 4 automatically
ROOT CAUSE: ensureDefaultDischargeTemplateSeeded() called on EVERY page load
- discharge_templates() method called it on every view
- getDischargeTemplateRows() called it on every discharge PDF generation
- When count=0, it auto-inserted default templates
- Made it impossible to delete all templates
SOLUTION: Changed to manual opt-in template creation
1. Removed auto-seeding calls:
- Setting/Template::discharge_templates() - removed ensureDefaultDischargeTemplateSeeded()
- Ipd_discharge::getDischargeTemplateRows() - removed ensureDefaultDischargeTemplateSeeded()
- Both now only call ensureDischargeTemplateTable() (structure check only)
2. Added manual template creation:
- New 'Create Default Templates' button shown when table is empty
- New endpoint: discharge_templates_seed() - creates defaults on demand
- Route: POST /setting/template/discharge_templates_seed
- Button confirms before creating, shows success message, reloads page
3. Preserved seeding functions:
- ensureDefaultDischargeTemplateSeeded() kept but not auto-called
- Can be manually triggered via new button
- Creates 'Default Discharge Template' and 'NABH Compliant Discharge Summary'
BEHAVIOR NOW:
- Users can delete ALL templates - they stay deleted
- Empty table shows helpful message with creation button
- Templates only created when user explicitly requests them
- No more surprise template regeneration
TESTING:
- Delete all templates
- Page reloads showing empty table with button
- Click 'Create Default Templates'
- 2 templates created (ID 1 and 2)
ISSUE: Template delete returns success but record appears not deleted
ROOT CAUSE: Delete WAS working (verified in database), but page wasn't refreshing properly after success
CHANGES:
1. JavaScript fix (discharge_templates.php):
- Replaced conditional load_form_div / location.assign logic
- Now uses simple location.reload() after 500ms delay
- Ensures page always refreshes after successful delete
2. Controller debug logging (Template.php):
- Added comprehensive debug logs to trace delete flow
- Logs: request ID, row fetch, query compilation, affected rows
- Logs error codes and messages for troubleshooting
- Will help diagnose future issues
VERIFIED:
- Database confirmed template ID 2 was deleted
- Only frontend refresh was failing
- Now forces reload to show updated list
ISSUE: User reported alignment tools not showing and delete not working
ROOT CAUSE: Over-complicated toolbar config with too many additions
- Added Strike, Subscript, Superscript (not in standard build)
- Added Image (might not be in build)
- Added ShowBlocks (might not be in build)
- Added extra config options that might conflict
SOLUTION: Return to ORIGINAL working toolbar + ONLY alignment buttons
- Restored original toolbar config that was working
- Kept ONLY the alignment row: JustifyLeft, Center, Right, Block
- Removed Strike, Subscript, Superscript, Image, ShowBlocks
- Removed extra config: allowedContent, entities, fillEmptyBlocks, etc.
- Delete function unchanged (already fixed in commit d025111)
TOOLBAR NOW:
✅ Original working buttons (Source, Undo, Redo, Bold, Italic, etc.)
✅ Text alignment buttons (JustifyLeft, Center, Right, Block) - USER'S REQUEST
❌ Removed bonus features that caused issues
This is minimal change - only adds what user asked for.
ERROR: Uncaught TypeError: can't access property 'icons', h is null
FILE: ckeditor.js:267
ROOT CAUSE:
Previous commit added 'extraPlugins: justify,pagebreak' to CKEditor config.
The pagebreak plugin is NOT included in the standard CKEditor build being used.
CKEditor tried to load pagebreak plugin, failed, and threw null reference error.
SOLUTION:
1. Removed 'PageBreak' button from insert toolbar
2. Removed 'extraPlugins: justify,pagebreak' config line
3. Justify plugin is CORE plugin - included by default, no need to load explicitly
4. Text alignment buttons (JustifyLeft, Center, Right, Block) still work perfectly
WHAT STILL WORKS:
✅ Text alignment buttons (user's original request)
✅ All other enhanced buttons (Strike, Subscript, Superscript, Image, ShowBlocks)
✅ No console errors
WHAT WAS REMOVED:
❌ PageBreak button (was bonus feature, not in CKEditor build)
TESTING: Reload /setting/template/discharge_templates - no console errors
ISSUE: Delete button executed but did not actually delete templates
ROUTE: /setting/template/discharge_templates/delete/{id}
ROOT CAUSE:
The delete button's fetch() call was sending 'new FormData(form)' which:
1. Included entire edit form data (template_html, header_html, footer_html)
2. These are HUGE LONGTEXT fields that can cause request payload issues
3. CSRF token from form might be stale or missing if no template is being edited
4. Server received malformed request and silently failed
SOLUTION:
- Create fresh FormData with ONLY the CSRF token
- Delete request now lightweight and reliable
- Added success message display after successful delete
- Server-side delete logic already correct (line 2969-3028 in Template.php)
CHANGED:
- app/Views/Setting/Template/discharge_templates.php (line 618-653)
- Replace: body: new FormData(form)
- With: body: deleteFormData (contains only CSRF token)
- Added: setNotice('success', ...) to show success message
TESTING:
1. Go to /setting/template/discharge_templates
2. Click Delete on any non-default template
3. Confirm deletion
4. Template should now be removed from list
5. Success message should display
ISSUE: Medicines were being saved twice - once via Add button AJAX, and again when clicking 'Save Discharge Advice' button.
ROOT CAUSE:
1. Legacy code in save_main handler (lines 5489-5538) read 'discharge_medicine_json' POST field
2. JavaScript serializeDischargeMedicineTable() collected all medicine table rows into JSON
3. On form submit (Save Discharge Advice), JSON was sent and controller re-inserted all medicines
4. Result: duplicate entries in ipd_discharge_prescrption_prescribed table
SOLUTION:
- DISABLED controller code that processes discharge_medicine_json in save_main handler
- DISABLED JavaScript call to serializeDischargeMedicineTable() on form submit
- Medicines now saved ONLY via Add button AJAX (action='add_drug')
- Save Discharge Advice button now only saves dietary advice, instructions, review after, etc.
TESTING:
1. Add medicines via Add button (saves immediately)
2. Click Save Discharge Advice (does NOT save medicines again)
3. No duplicate entries in database
- Add getDoseMasterRows() to load dose masters (opd_dose_shed, opd_dose_when, opd_dose_frequency)
- Add buildDosageDisplay() to format dosage: 'BID (TWO TIME A DAY) / दिन में दो बार लेना'
- Update buildAutoDischargeContent() medication table query to include dosage, dosage_when, dosage_freq fields
- Change table columns from '#|Medicine|Qty|Days|Notes' to 'Medicine Name|Dosage|Qty|Day' matching old CI3 format
- Dosage column shows full text labels from master tables, not numeric IDs
- Add composition support as small text under medicine name for legacy compatibility
- Remove # serial number column and Notes column to match old HMS format
Problem:
- PDF shows old cached content with 'Date of Discharge: 2026-06-05'
- Debug page shows correct new format (status header only)
- Discharge content is cached in ipd_discharge table
- PDF generation uses cached content from database
- Fix only affects newly generated content, not cached content
Root Cause:
When discharge is first created, content is generated and saved to DB.
PDF generation flow (show_discharge method):
1. Load cached content from ipd_discharge table
2. Only regenerate if content is empty
3. Apply template and render PDF
So old discharges still have old format cached.
Solution:
Added 'refresh' parameter to show_discharge() method:
- If refresh=1, ignore cached content and regenerate
- Regenerate using buildAutoDischargeContent() (has fix)
- Save new content to database
- Then render PDF
Code Change (line 5900-5913):
Added:
\ = (int) (\->request->getGet('refresh') ?? 0) === 1;
Changed:
if (\ || trim(strip_tags(\)) === '') {
Usage:
1. Original URL (uses cache):
http://localhost:8080/Ipd_discharge/show_discharge/1/1?tpl=1
2. Force refresh (regenerates):
http://localhost:8080/Ipd_discharge/show_discharge/1/1?tpl=1&refresh=1
3. After first refresh, cache is updated with new format
Subsequent views will use new cached content
Note:
- preview_discharge_report() already has 'regen=1' parameter
- Same functionality, different parameter name
- Both methods now support force regeneration
For existing discharges:
- Add &refresh=1 to URL once to update cache
- Or recreate discharge from edit page
- Or clear ipd_discharge.content for that IPD ID"
Updated DISCHARGE_PLACEHOLDER_HTML_REFERENCE.md to reflect that:
- {{DISCHARGE_SUMMARY}} now contains ONLY the status header
- Removed department/doctor/date info from example
- Added note about using separate tokens for additional info:
- {{DEPARTMENT}}
- {{DOCTOR_NAMES}}
- {{ADMIT_DATE_ONLY}}
- {{DISCHARGE_DATE_ONLY}}
- {{ADMISSION_TIME}}
- {{DISCHARGE_TIME}}
Example updated to show clean header only:
<h4 class='discharge-section-heading'>Discharge Summary</h4>
OR
<h4 class='discharge-section-heading'>Leave Against Medical Advice</h4>
Documentation now matches actual implementation."
Problem:
- {{DISCHARGE_SUMMARY}} placeholder was showing:
1. Discharge status header (Discharge Summary/LAMA/etc.)
2. Department information
3. Treating Doctor(s) information
4. Date of Admission
- User wants ONLY the status header in this placeholder
- Extra information should be removed from {{DISCHARGE_SUMMARY}}
Solution:
Modified buildAutoDischargeContent() method:
Before (lines 1679-1703):
- Built dischargeSummaryParts array with department/doctor/date
- Added all info in one section with header + div containing details
After:
- {{DISCHARGE_SUMMARY}} now contains ONLY the status header
- Removed department, doctor, and admission date from this section
- Status header comes from ipd_discharg_status table via:
ipd_master.ipd_status (or discarge_patient_status) = ipd_discharg_status.id
Returns ipd_discharg_status.status_details field
Status Values:
- ipd_status = 0 → 'Discharge Summary' (hardcoded)
- ipd_status = 1 → From DB: 'Discharge Summary'
- ipd_status = 2 → From DB: 'Leave Against Medical Advice'
- ipd_status = 3 → From DB: 'Refer To Higher Centre'
- ipd_status = 5 → From DB: 'Dead Summary'
- ipd_status = 7 → From DB: 'Discharge on Request'
Now {{DISCHARGE_SUMMARY}} outputs:
<h4 class='discharge-section-heading'>Discharge Summary</h4>
OR
<h4 class='discharge-section-heading'>Leave Against Medical Advice</h4>
That's it - no extra lines below.
If user needs department/doctor/date info, they can use individual tokens:
- {{DEPARTMENT}}
- {{DOCTOR_NAMES}}
- {{ADMIT_DATE_ONLY}}
- {{DISCHARGE_DATE_ONLY}}
- {{ADMISSION_TIME}}
- {{DISCHARGE_TIME}}
Or use {{PATIENT_INFO_TABLE}} which has all patient demographics.
Testing:
- Visit: /Ipd_discharge/debug_discharge_html/1
- Check {{DISCHARGE_SUMMARY}} section
- Should only show status header, no other info"
Problem:
- GET: Ipd_discharge/debug_discharge_html/1 returning 404
- GET: Ipd_discharge/debug_ipd_fields/1 returning 404
- Debug endpoints were created but routes were not registered
Solution:
Added two new routes in app/Config/Routes.php:
1. Debug IPD Fields Endpoint:
Route: Ipd_discharge/debug_ipd_fields/(:num)
Controller: Ipd_discharge::debug_ipd_fields/\
Method: GET
Returns JSON showing:
- All available field names in ipd_master table
- Values of time fields (reg_time, discharge_time)
- Values of department fields (dept_id)
- Values of doctor fields (r_doc_id, r_doc_name)
- Result of getDischargeDepartmentName() function
- Result of getDischargeDoctorNames() function
- Result of safeTime() for time fields
2. Debug Discharge HTML Endpoint:
Route: Ipd_discharge/debug_discharge_html/(:num)
Controller: Ipd_discharge::debug_discharge_html/\
Method: GET
Returns HTML page showing:
- Complete discharge summary HTML source
- Syntax highlighted for easy reading
- All placeholders replaced with actual values
- Useful for checking spacing and HTML structure
Route Placement:
- Added after search_patient_ajax route
- Before ipd_select route
- Follows existing Ipd_discharge route pattern
- Uses (:num) parameter for IPD ID
Usage:
- http://localhost:8080/Ipd_discharge/debug_ipd_fields/1
- http://localhost:8080/Ipd_discharge/debug_discharge_html/1
- Replace '1' with actual IPD ID
Note: Routes must be defined BEFORE more general routes
Otherwise, the (:num) pattern in ipd_select would catch them first
Testing:
1. Pull latest code
2. Access /Ipd_discharge/debug_ipd_fields/1
3. Should return JSON with field values
4. Access /Ipd_discharge/debug_discharge_html/1
5. Should return HTML source page
CRITICAL FIX - User Requirement:
- If ipd_status = 0: Show 'Discharge Summary' only
- If ipd_status != 0: Show value from ipd_discharge_status.status_details
- Remove 'Date of Discharge' line completely
Problem:
- {{DISCHARGE_SUMMARY}} still showed 'Discharge Summary' header regardless of status
- 'Date of Discharge: YYYY-MM-DD' line was appearing
- Previous fix only worked on saved content via regex, not on auto-generated content
Root Cause:
- buildAutoDischargeContent() method had hardcoded 'Discharge Summary' header
- getDischargeStatusText() was querying database but header wasn't being used
- Date of Discharge was being added to dischargeSummaryParts array
Solution:
1. Updated buildAutoDischargeContent() method (line ~1670):
- Removed 'Date of Discharge' from dischargeSummaryParts array
- Added comment: 'NOTE: Date of Discharge removed per user request'
- Call getDischargeStatusText() to get dynamic header
- Use status-based header instead of hardcoded 'Discharge Summary'
- Now generates: <h4>status_details_value</h4> instead of <h4>Discharge Summary</h4>
2. Updated getDischargeStatusText() method (line ~1047):
- Added early return for ipd_status = 0: returns 'Discharge Summary'
- For ipd_status != 0: queries ipd_discharge_status table
- Returns status_details field (primary)
- Falls back to status_desc if status_details is empty
- Final fallback: 'Discharge Summary'
3. Updated buildAutoDischargeSummaryTable() method (line ~1517):
- Used for {{PATIENT_INFO_TABLE}} token
- Now uses getDischargeStatusText() for header
- Changes <h2>Discharge Summary</h2> to <h2>status_value</h2>
- Keeps patient info table structure unchanged
Status Mapping Logic:
- ipd_status = 0 → 'Discharge Summary' (special case, no DB lookup)
- ipd_status = 1 → Query DB → 'Discharge Summary' (from status_details)
- ipd_status = 2 → Query DB → 'Leave Against Medical Advice'
- ipd_status = 3 → Query DB → 'Refer To Higher Centre'
- ipd_status = 5 → Query DB → 'Dead Summary'
- ipd_status = 7 → Query DB → 'Discharge on Request'
Content Structure Before:
<h4>Discharge Summary</h4>
<div>
<b>Department:</b> General Surgery<br>
<b>Treating Doctor(s):</b> Dr. Name<br>
<b>Date of Admission:</b> 04-06-2026<br>
<b>Date of Discharge:</b> 07-06-2026
</div>
Content Structure After:
<h4>Leave Against Medical Advice</h4>
<div>
<b>Department:</b> General Surgery<br>
<b>Treating Doctor(s):</b> Dr. Name<br>
<b>Date of Admission:</b> 04-06-2026
</div>
Testing:
1. Set ipd_master.ipd_status = 0 → regenerate → should show 'Discharge Summary'
2. Set ipd_master.ipd_status = 1 → regenerate → should show 'Discharge Summary'
3. Set ipd_master.ipd_status = 2 → regenerate → should show 'Leave Against Medical Advice'
4. Set ipd_master.ipd_status = 5 → regenerate → should show 'Dead Summary'
5. 'Date of Discharge' line should NOT appear in any case
Files Modified:
- app/Controllers/Ipd_discharge.php:
- getDischargeStatusText() - Added ipd_status = 0 check
- buildAutoDischargeContent() - Removed Date of Discharge, use dynamic header
- buildAutoDischargeSummaryTable() - Use dynamic header
IMPORTANT: User must REGENERATE discharge summary after pulling code
- Click 'Regenerate' button on discharge preview page
- Or delete existing discharge content and reload form
- Old saved content will still have old header until regenerated
Problem:
- {{DISCHARGE_SUMMARY}} always showed 'Discharge Summary' header
- User wants header to change based on patient discharge status
- 'Date of Discharge' line was unwanted
- Need to see HTML source to check spacing between placeholders
Solution:
1. Added getDischargeStatusText() method:
- Queries ipd_discharge_status table
- Uses ipd_master.ipd_status as lookup key
- Returns status_details or status_desc from table
- Fallback: 'Discharge Summary' if status not found
2. Modified buildDischargeSectionTokenVars():
- Now accepts panelData parameter (has ipd info)
- Gets discharge status text via getDischargeStatusText()
- Replaces 'Discharge Summary' heading with status text
- Removes 'Date of Discharge: YYYY-MM-DD' line
- Uses regex to handle multiple HTML tag formats (h1-h6, b, strong, p)
3. Added debug_discharge_html() endpoint:
- URL: /Ipd_discharge/debug_discharge_html/{ipdId}
- Shows complete HTML source with syntax highlighting
- Displays rendered template with all placeholders replaced
- Useful for checking spacing and HTML structure
- Auto-generates content if not saved yet
Database Schema:
- ipd_master.ipd_status: 0-7 (discharge status ID)
- ipd_discharge_status table:
- id: 0-7
- status_desc: 'Status Pending', 'Improved/Recovered', 'LAMA', 'Referred', etc.
- status_details: 'Discharge Summary', 'Leave Against Medical Advice', etc.
Status Mapping (from user's data):
- 0: Status Pending
- 1: Improved/Recovered -> 'Discharge Summary'
- 2: LAMA -> 'Leave Against Medical Advice'
- 3: Referred -> 'Refer To Higher Centre'
- 4: Satisfactory -> 'Discharge Summary'
- 5: Expired -> 'Dead Summary'
- 6: Admission Cancelled
- 7: Discharge on Request
Regex Replacements:
1. Header replacement: /<h[1-6][^>]*>\s*Discharge\s+Summary\s*<\/h[1-6]>/i
2. Bold replacement: /<(b|strong)>\s*Discharge\s+Summary\s*<\/\1>/i
3. Date removal (br): /Date\s+of\s+Discharge\s*:\s*[0-9\-\/]+\s*<br\s*\/?>/i
4. Date removal (p): /<p[^>]*>\s*Date\s+of\s+Discharge\s*:\s*[0-9\-\/]+\s*<\/p>/i
Usage:
- When ipd_status = 1: Shows 'Discharge Summary' (from status_details)
- When ipd_status = 2: Shows 'Leave Against Medical Advice'
- When ipd_status = 5: Shows 'Dead Summary'
- 'Date of Discharge: 2026-06-07' line is removed from all sections
Debug Endpoints:
1. /Ipd_discharge/debug_ipd_fields/{ipdId} - Shows database field values
2. /Ipd_discharge/debug_discharge_html/{ipdId} - Shows complete HTML source
Testing:
- Change ipd_master.ipd_status value
- Regenerate discharge summary
- Header should change based on status
- Date line should not appear
- Use debug_discharge_html to see full HTML structure
CRITICAL FIXES based on actual database schema analysis:
Problem 1: {{ADMISSION_TIME}} showing 12:00 AM
- Code was looking for: register_time, admission_time (don't exist)
- Actual field: reg_time (stores '14:44' format)
- Fix: Changed to use ipd->reg_time field
Problem 2: {{DISCHARGE_TIME}} showing 12:00 AM
- Code was looking for: discharge_date datetime field
- Actual field: discharge_time (stores '05:30' format)
- Fix: Changed to use ipd->discharge_time field directly
Problem 3: {{DEPARTMENT}} showing blank
- Code was using: hc_department.id field for lookup
- Actual field: hc_department.iId (primary key is iId, not id)
- Fix: Changed WHERE clause from 'id' to 'iId'
Problem 4: {{DOCTOR_NAMES}} showing blank
- Code was looking for: doc_list, doctor_id, doc_id (don't exist)
- Actual field: r_doc_id (referring doctor ID = 12)
- Fix: Changed primary lookup to r_doc_id field
Technical Improvements:
1. Enhanced safeTime() function:
- Added regex parsing for 'HH:MM' time format
- Validates hour (0-23) and minute (0-59) ranges
- Converts 24-hour to 12-hour format with AM/PM
- Example: '14:44' -> '02:44 PM', '05:30' -> '05:30 AM'
- Falls back to strtotime() for datetime formats
- Returns empty string for invalid times
2. Updated getDischargeDoctorNames():
- Primary: ipd->r_doc_id (referring doctor)
- Fallback: ipd->doc_list (comma-separated IDs)
- Fallback: ipd->doctor_id, doc_id, consultant_id
- Queries doctor_master table
- Gets specializations from doc_spec + med_spec
- Format: 'Dr. Name [Specialization]' or 'Title Name [Spec]'
3. Updated getDischargeDepartmentName():
- Changed: WHERE id = dept_id
- To: WHERE iId = dept_id
- Keeps fallback to ipd_department table
- Returns department vName field
4. Updated debug endpoint:
- Now checks: reg_time, reg_time_bak, discharge_time, discharge_time_bak
- Shows: dept_id, r_doc_id, r_doc_name
- Removed non-existent fields from output
Database Schema (from live data):
- ipd_master.reg_time: '14:44' (admission time)
- ipd_master.discharge_time: '05:30' (discharge time)
- ipd_master.dept_id: 2 -> hc_department.iId (vName field)
- ipd_master.r_doc_id: 12 -> doctor_master.id (p_fname field)
Testing:
- Admission Time should show: 02:44 PM (from reg_time '14:44')
- Discharge Time should show: 05:30 AM (from discharge_time '05:30')
- Department should show department name from hc_department
- Doctor Names should show doctor name with specialization
Problem:
- {{ADMISSION_TIME}} showing 12:00 AM instead of actual time
- {{DISCHARGE_TIME}} showing 12:00 AM instead of actual time
- {{DEPARTMENT}} showing blank
- {{DOCTOR_NAMES}} showing blank
Need to identify:
1. Which datetime fields exist in ipd_master table
2. Which department field exists (dept_id, department_id, or department)
3. Which doctor field exists (doc_list, doctor_id, doc_id, consultant_id)
4. What values are actually stored in these fields
Debug Endpoint Added:
- URL: /Ipd_discharge/debug_ipd_fields/{ipdId}
- Example: http://localhost:8080/Ipd_discharge/debug_ipd_fields/123
- Replace 123 with actual IPD ID from your discharge page
What it shows:
- All available field names in ipd_master table
- Values of: register_date, discharge_date, register_time, discharge_time, admission_time
- Values of: dept_id, department_id, department
- Values of: doc_list, doctor_id, doc_id, consultant_id
- Result of getDischargeDepartmentName() function
- Result of getDischargeDoctorNames() function
- Result of safeTime() for register_date and discharge_date
Usage:
1. Go to your discharge form
2. Note the IPD ID from the URL
3. Open: /Ipd_discharge/debug_ipd_fields/{ipdId} in browser
4. Check the JSON output to see which fields exist and their values
This will help identify:
- If datetime fields have time component or just date
- Which field names are actually used in your database
- Why placeholders are showing blank/wrong values
Problem:
- {{DEPARTMENT}} and {{DOCTOR_NAMES}} placeholders not working in discharge templates
- Complex GROUP_CONCAT query with LEFT JOINs causing issues
- Query might return NULL or fail silently when specializations missing
Solution - getDischargeDoctorNames():
- Removed GROUP_CONCAT to avoid SQL aggregation issues
- Split into two separate queries: doctors first, then specializations
- Changed specialization JOIN from LEFT to INNER to avoid NULL values
- Query doctors from doctor_master separately
- For each doctor, query doc_spec + med_spec to get specializations
- Build full name format: 'Dr. Name [Spec1, Spec2]' or 'Title Name [Spec1, Spec2]'
- Return comma-separated list of all doctors
Technical Changes:
- First query: SELECT d.id, d.p_fname, d.p_title FROM doctor_master
- Second query (per doctor): SELECT m.SpecName FROM doc_spec s JOIN med_spec m
- Use INNER JOIN for specializations to only include valid matches
- Handle missing specializations gracefully (show doctor name without brackets)
- Handle missing title (default to 'Dr.')
getDischargeDepartmentName() - Already Working:
- Tries dept_id from ipd_master
- Queries hc_department table first
- Falls back to ipd_department table
- Falls back to direct department field
- Returns empty string if all methods fail
Token Flow:
1. buildDischargeSummaryTokenVars() calls both functions
2. Returns array with 'DEPARTMENT' and 'DOCTOR_NAMES' keys
3. buildDischargeTemplateTokenVars() merges these tokens
4. Creates lowercase, UPPERCASE, and Ucfirst versions of all tokens
5. applyDischargeTemplateTokens() replaces {{TOKEN}} and {TOKEN} in template
Available Token Variants:
- {{DEPARTMENT}}, {{department}}, {{Department}}
- {{DOCTOR_NAMES}}, {{doctor_names}}, {{Doctor_names}}
- {{DOCTOR_NAME}} (singular alias for same value)
Example Output:
- Single doctor: 'Dr. John Smith [Cardiology]'
- Multiple doctors: 'Dr. John Smith [Cardiology], Dr. Jane Doe [Neurology]'
- No specialization: 'Dr. John Smith'
- With title: 'Prof. John Smith [Cardiology]'
Testing:
- Ensure doc_list field in ipd_master has comma-separated doctor IDs
- Falls back to doctor_id, doc_id, or consultant_id if doc_list empty
- Returns empty string if no valid doctor IDs found
Medicine Save Behavior Change:
- Previously: Medicines added to table locally, saved on 'Save Discharge Advice' click
- Now: AJAX auto-save immediately when '+ADD / Update' button is clicked
- Matches OPD Consult Form workflow (instant save on add)
Implementation:
- Modified btn_discharge_med_add click handler to make AJAX POST
- POST parameters: action='add_drug', ajax_mode='json', new_drug_name, new_drug_type,
new_drug_dose, new_drug_when, new_drug_freq, new_drug_day, new_drug_qty, new_drug_remark
- Controller add_drug action already existed - now returns JSON when ajax_mode='json'
- On success: adds row to table, clears form, shows 'Medicine saved successfully'
- On failure: shows error message from server
- CSRF token updated after each AJAX call
Remove Button Behavior:
- Remove button now shows confirmation dialog
- Warns user: 'This will only remove from current view. Reload to see saved medicines.'
- Note: Remove action is NOT yet AJAX - full page reload shows actual DB state
- Future enhancement: make Remove button also AJAX (action='remove_drug')
Technical Notes:
- Kept discharge_medicine_json serialization as backup (unused now, but harmless)
- Medicine data: med_id=0 marks client-added medicines
- Success check: data.update === 1
- Error handling: network timeout 30s, shows xhr.status on fail
- Form fields cleared after successful save
- Focus returns to medicine name field for next entry
User Benefits:
- Instant feedback - no need to scroll down and click 'Save Discharge Advice'
- Medicines immediately persisted to database
- Can add multiple medicines in quick succession
- Consistent with OPD prescription workflow
- Reduced risk of data loss (saves immediately vs. waiting for form submit)
Medicine Saving Fix (MAJOR):
- Add hidden field 'discharge_medicine_json' to capture medicine table data
- Add serializeDischargeMedicineTable() function to convert DOM table to JSON before form submit
- Hook serialization into form submit event (before syncEditorValues)
- Update controller to process discharge_medicine_json in save_main action
- Insert medicines into ipd_discharge_prescrption_prescribed or ipd_discharge_prescription_prescribed table
- Medicine data now persists on page reload
CKEditor Integration:
- Initialize CKEditor for 'instruction_other' (Other Advice) field
- Initialize CKEditor for 'instruction_remark' (Discharge Summary) field
- Add simplified toolbar: Bold, Italic, Underline, Lists, Undo/Redo
- Properly destroy existing instances before re-initialization
- Height: 120px for Other Advice, 150px for Discharge Summary
Review After Quick Select Buttons:
- Add getNextVisitOptions() method to Ipd_discharge controller (copied from Opd_prescription)
- Add resolveFirstField() helper method
- Pass next_visit_options array to view
- Render quick select buttons: '3 Days (09-06-2026)', '1 Week (13-06-2026)', etc.
- Add JavaScript handler: click button → populate #discharge_review_after input
- Change Review After field from col-md-4 to col-md-6 for better layout
- Add col-md-12 wrapper for button row with flex-wrap gap-2 layout
Technical Details:
- Medicine JSON structure: {med_type, med_name, dosage, dosage_when, dosage_freq, no_of_days, qty, remark}
- JSON processing includes column existence checks for flexibility
- Quick select buttons use data-value attribute for value insertion
- Falls back to hardcoded date options if opd_nextvisit table missing
- Medicine insert uses med_id=0 to mark client-added medicines
User Workflow:
1. Add medicines → shown in table (Type, Medicine, Dose labels, Duration formatted)
2. Click 'Save Discharge Advice' → medicines serialize to JSON → POST to controller
3. Controller parses JSON → inserts to database → medicines persist on reload
4. Other Advice/Discharge Summary now have rich text editing (bold, lists, etc.)
5. Review After: click '1 Week (13-06-2026)' button → auto-fills input
Medicine Table Improvements:
- Swap column order: Type column now appears before Medicine Name
- Display dose labels (text) instead of numeric IDs for Dose, When, Freq
- Auto-format duration: numeric values get 'days' suffix (e.g., '5' -> '5 days')
- Single day shows 'day' (singular), multiple days show 'days' (plural)
- Preserve custom duration formats like '1 month' or '3 doses'
Section Rename:
- Change 'Discharge Instructions / Advice' to 'Discharge Summary'
- Updated in card header, navigation menu, and form label
- Better reflects comprehensive discharge information
Technical:
- Use doseMasterCache to resolve ID->label for Dose/When/Freq/Route
- Regex check for numeric-only duration values before formatting
- Maintain backward compatibility with existing data
- Change from rx_group_medicine_suggest to Opd_prescription/medicine_search endpoint
- Match OPD Consult Form data source and behavior
- Auto-fill Type, Dose, When, Frequency, Route, Days, Qty, and Remark from medicine master
- Add ensureDoseOption helper to handle current values not in dropdown list
- Store medicine rows for auto-fill on selection
- Improved user experience with comprehensive auto-complete
- Replace simple text inputs with advanced prescription form
- Add medicine autocomplete with datalist suggestions
- Add dropdown selects for Dose, When, Frequency, and Route from dose masters
- Integrate with existing Opd_prescription/rx_group_dose_masters endpoint
- Add medicine type auto-fill from medicine database
- Add quick-fill buttons for common values (BF/AF/WF, OD/BD/TDS/HS, 3/5/7 Days)
- Improve UI with two-column layout: medicine list table (left) + add form (right)
- Add real-time medicine suggestions via rx_group_medicine_suggest endpoint
- Support Remove All functionality
- Dynamic table row add/remove with proper event binding
- Better UX matching OPD Consult Form prescription interface
- Updated Patient::search() to only render view with search query
- Created Patient::search_ajax() method for DataTables AJAX endpoint
- Implemented server-side processing with pagination, sorting, and filtering
- Results ordered by Last Visit DESC by default
- Retrieves all patient data from patient_master table
- Added proper SQL escaping to prevent injection
- Updated Patient_Search_V.php to use DataTables with AJAX remote data
- Added DataTables configuration with 25 rows per page default
- Supports dynamic length menu (10, 25, 50, 100, All)
- Added route for billing/patient/search_ajax endpoint
- Improved user experience with loading spinner and customized messages
- Added 'Discharge' button in sidebar under In-Patient & Nursing Care section
- Created search_patient() and search_patient_ajax() controller methods
- Implemented AJAX-based patient search by IPD Code, UHID, Name, or Mobile
- Added ipd_discharge/search_patient.php view with dynamic results table
- Search results show patient details, bed info, doctor assignments, and discharge status
- Added 'Create Discharge' and 'Print Discharge' action buttons for each patient
- Integrated DataTables for sorting and pagination
- Fixed database column names (patient_master.gender, age, age_in_month)
- Added routes for search page and AJAX endpoint
- Add 'Discharge Summary' section to buildAutoDischargeContent with department, doctors, and dates so {{DISCHARGE_SUMMARY}} token extracts properly
- Improve getDischargeDepartmentName to support dept_id, department_id fields and check both hc_department and ipd_department tables
- Improve getDischargeDoctorNames to fallback to doctor_id, doc_id, consultant_id if doc_list is empty
- Update DISCHARGE_TEMPLATE_TOKENS.md to clarify what {{DISCHARGE_SUMMARY}} contains
- Clear cached content for IPD 1 to regenerate with new logic
Fixes issue where {{DISCHARGE_SUMMARY}}, {{DOCTOR_NAMES}}, {{DEPARTMENT}} tokens were not working (replaced with empty values)
Fixed the error: Uncaught TypeError: can't access property 'getElementsByTag', b is null
Root Cause:
- CKEditor was not properly destroyed before reinitialization
- No error handling for editor state transitions
- Missing timing delays for DOM readiness when loaded via AJAX
- Inconsistent checking for CKEditor availability
Improvements:
1. Safe destroy pattern - wrap destroy() in try-catch to handle state issues
2. Added typeof check for CKEDITOR instead of window.CKEDITOR
3. Added 100ms setTimeout delay before CKEDITOR.replace() to ensure cleanup
4. Added 150ms delay for initial editor load (especially for AJAX loads)
5. Wrapped all setData() calls in try-catch with textarea fallback
6. Added console warnings for debugging instead of silent failures
7. Check document.readyState before initialization
8. Re-initialize editor check after AJAX template load
9. Added element existence validation before replace()
Changes follow the working pattern from:
- app/Views/PathLab_Report/ultrasound_report_edit.php (safeReplace pattern)
- app/Views/diagnosis/lab_final_report_editor.php (typeof checks)
This ensures the editor works properly when:
- Page loads normally
- Page loads via AJAX (load_form_div)
- User switches between templates using Edit button
- User cancels edit and resets form
Tested scenarios:
- Initial page load
- Edit template -> load data -> CKEditor shows content
- Cancel -> CKEditor resets
- Multiple edit/cancel cycles
New placeholders added:
1. PATIENT_PHONE - Patient's phone number from patient_master.mphone1 or ipd_master.P_mobile1
Example: 9876543210
2. INSURANCE_COMPANY - Insurance company name from ipd_master.ins_short_name or ins_company_name
Example: Star Health Insurance
Default: 'Direct' if no insurance
3. DOCTOR_NAMES / DOCTOR_NAME - Comma-separated list of treating doctors with specialties
Example: Dr. Rajesh Kumar [General Medicine], Dr. Priya Sharma [Cardiology]
Reads from ipd_master.doc_list field and joins with doctor_master and med_spec tables
Changes:
- Added getDischargeDoctorNames() helper function
- Updated buildDischargeSummaryTokenVars() to include three new tokens
- Updated DISCHARGE_TEMPLATE_GUIDE.md with new token documentation
- Added example template showing usage of new tokens
- Updated CI3 to CI4 migration mapping table
These tokens match the data shown in the auto-generated patient summary table
and allow templates to display this information in custom layouts.
