Top Topics in the Community for October 2024
Several core team posts last month were greatly noticed: DAC2025 announcement, Dev meetup post, and new push analytics service. Additionally, other popular topics showed great examples of community members contributions:
The first top topic came from a community member who decided to share his ‘deployment’ solution, https://community.dhis2.org/t/dhis2-deployment-automation/61425/8 @salad_guyo1
Another similar topic is a guide shared by developer @nnkogift, Using App Runtime in a Next JS application
Then there was the ‘Invalid Dates Error in DHIS2 Analytics Table Update’ thread with community members helping each other (@Gerald_Thomas, @Stephan_Mestach, and @ctejo)
Another top topic where a community member shared resources to help answer a question, Where can I read about the main difference between an App and a Plugin in the App Platform - #3 by hio.amakomaya (@hio.amakomaya)
Finally, there were two android questions that were quite active and caught attention, both by (@Gregory):
- Tracker Android Capture program rules - Visit incrementation (Solved)
- QR Code Sharing Feature does not work as expected in Android 3.0.1 (
)
Finally, there’s an interesting topic in the Research - Recherches category from @Jake_Lamers about using Python to generate reports for CHWs. This topic was at the end of September so it wasn’t highlighted last month: Creation of Personalised Feedback Report for CHW Supervision
Now that we mentioned the Research - Recherches category, if this is an area of interest for you, remember to check out the discussion about ‘DHIS2 Research Forum’ initiative: DHIS2 Research forum

Bug Hunters
Many users who faced issues and discussed them with the community were very helpful in finding bugs. These bug hunters create Jira issues (with link to the CoP post) and support the development of DHIS2.
