I've been putting these off for now, but at some point I'll
try to dig into all of these issues.

I think this is likely to be very easy, but I'll need some guidance on which specific screens need changing. There currently appear to be about 50 web pages in the application that link to "...dopt=medline". I presume that only one or a few of these should be changed.

If that's right, then one way to identify them would be to cut the URL from the location bar at the top of the screen for each screen that contains a link that has to change from "medline" to "abstract", and paste the link into an email to send to me.

If there is more than one place on the page that has a link, please identify the one that needs to change. In some cases there may be lists of links, for example in a list of 10 citations, all 10 may have a link that needs to change. However for our purposes, that's just one place that gets generated in a loop. I'll find it easily enough.

If all of the dopt=medline links need to change, I'll change all of them. If almost all need to change but just one or a few need to stay the same, then just identify the ones that need to stay the same and I'll change all the rest.

Links to PubMed are available for all citation record views in the CMS so 50 sounds about right. Although there are a few pages(i.e updating premedline records) where we will need to kept dopt=medline, but let me get back to you on that after I confirm this with Minaxi.

I discussed this with Minaxi and we have both aggreed that all links to pubmed should be in the abstract format. We use the medline format in the import utility but the web interface we need the abstract view only.

I wrote a program that read every program in the web application, searched for "&dopt=medline", and changed it to "&dopt=abstract". 60 program were modified, some more than once. Not all of the programs are actually used. Some are backups that the previous programmers made. But rather than try to figure out what is not used, I just processed all of them.

The results are in the development system. I have done some testing, but haven't tried to test each of the 60 programs.

The attached file was output by my transformation program. Each line gives the name of a web program followed by a colon and the number of lines inside that program that were modified. For example:

cipssearch.asp: 0 - no changes
cipssearchresults.asp: 2 - two lines changed
cipsviewlist.asp: 1 - one line changed

Please have a look and see if it looks right.

Marking this resolved-fixed, ready for user test.

The pmid links are displaying correctly in abstract format. I have tested in both staff and client interfaces.

Not having heard anything to the contrary, I propose to put this into production tonight along with the change to the picklists.

Someone stop me if that is incorrect.

I should have said "coversheets".

I have no objection to moving this to production. I have tested it extensively and everything looks fine.

I placed all of the modified code for this and the coversheet changes into version control but ran into a snag in updating the production server. All of my attempts to copy files into the live directory resulted in "Permission denied" errors. I tried using the IIS administrative interface to stop the application and then the whole web server but it still wouldn't allow me to copy things into the live directory.

I suspect that this is a trivial problem reflecting my lack of experience administering the Microsoft IIS and that one of our systems administrators can fix it for me in five minutes. But it's late now and none of them are around.

I'll have to wait until I can talk to one. It should happen in the next couple of days.

Sorry about the delay.

I've put the changes into production.

Please let me know if there is any problem.
