Print pages

[tu.sha]

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!

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: [Select]

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

As a text-link (if you want, also in your index.php of the template) you can use

Code: [Select]

<a href="javascript:window.print()">Print this page</a>.

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: [Select]

.menu { display: none; } for a div "menu" which you don´t want to be printed.

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