Print pages

Hi all!

Is there easy way to make print pages?
For example by using another template.

Actually I dont know how to address to the same page with another template.
May I use something like href=/pages/hello.php?template=simple

This exactly sample doesnt work but may be you know the working pattern? :))

Or any other way to create print page without creating special page for it to avoid double input in backend.

Thanks a lot!

doc:
Hello,

simply define a seperate CSS file with media=print. Some templates do provide such a file. In addition try a search in the WWW, you will find tons of information there.

Christian,  thanks.

The question is how to address to this page?
I have a page with content.
After it I have 2 links - "back" and "print page".

<a href="xxxxxx">print page</a>

xxxxx = ? :)

Hi,

use this snippet in the index.php of your template:

--- Code: ---<link href="http://www.xyz.com/templates/templatename/print.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="print" />
--- End code ---
.

As a text-link (if you want, also in your index.php of the template) you can use
--- Code: ---<a href="javascript:window.print()">Print this page</a>
--- End code ---
.

And as print.css you can make a copy of the screen.css and edit it as you want. Useful would be something like this
--- Code: ---.menu { display: none; }
--- End code ---
for a div "menu" which you don´t want to be printed.

That´s all. No special page to be adressed.

hth
