Okay, so I haven't blogged in a little bit and in that empty span several things have happened. What was once a simple edit has turned into a possible rewrite. As me and my partner dug deeper into OpenMRS, we have discovered that the site is completely generated through JPS.
To successfully complete our ticket, we have two options: 1. Throw in bits of code to compensate for the mobile version of the site and sort of patch it together or 2. Create a new mobile version of the site. Either way, things are gonna get messy. I believe we will pick #2 and write our own version which will take forever.
The theory is that even if we don't finish it, if we do things correctly and make our code "pretty" so to speak, someone can pick up where we leave off to complete the project. We do have high hopes that we can finish it or a significant portion of it. The most difficult task will be learning JPS..

Which option did you guys end up picking? Redesign an entire mobile version or just do the best you can with the CSS?
ReplyDeleteactually, neither.. we ended up deciding to redesign the more needed pages rather than the entire site. The patient search/find is the page we're currently working on. Its much easier to take it page by page rather than have the entire site to deal with.
