Print topic should include images

<< < (2/7) > >>

Aleksi "Lex" Kilpinen:
I have to say that the print view is fine as it is, but an option to include images when needed would be cool. :)

*falguni1 thinks now karlbenson has one more mod idea which he may like to develop.

Dark-Wolf:
Hi!
I have maked this little mod ( smf 1.1.8 ):
In Display.template.php search:

--- Code: --- 'print' => array('text' => 465, 'image' => 'print.gif', 'lang' => true, 'custom' => 'target="_blank"', 'url' => $scripturl . '?action=printpage;topic=' . $context['current_topic'] . '.0'),
--- End code ---
replace with:

--- Code: --- 'print' => array('text' => 465, 'image' => 'print.gif', 'lang' => true, 'custom' => 'target="_blank"', 'url' => $scripturl . '?action=printpage;topic=' . $context['current_topic'] . '.0'),
'printimage' => array('text' => 466, 'image' => 'print.gif', 'lang' => true, 'custom' => 'target="_blank"', 'url' => $scripturl . '?action=printpage;topic=' . $context['current_topic'] . '.0;images'),

--- End code ---
Now open index.english.php and search:

--- Code: ---$txt[465] = 'Print';
--- End code ---
replace with:

--- Code: ---$txt[465] = 'Print(txt)';
$txt[466] = 'Print(img)';

--- End code ---
(466 is free)  :)

When clicking print SMF generates a text only output.
This is 2007 and images are cool to have on a printout, thus SMF should
display images when showing a print-view.

Also I have often got use for Joomla's PDF function. Can this be included in SMF as well? Print to PDF. It would be very handy, and a very moderm addon to SMF...

I absolutely agree. This should be a default feature !!

nax:
I would like to be able to print off a whole topic complete with images too.  I am using  SMF 1.1.11 and the string is not the same.  I think it is now :-

   'print' => array('text' => 465, 'image' => 'print.gif', 'lang' => true, 'custom' => 'target="_blank"', 'url' => $scripturl . '?action=printpage;topic=' . $context['current_topic'] . '.0'),

I am no PHP programmer so don't know how to alter this string to include the images as per the advice in the quoted post.  Can anyone help?

The solution was in the forum. This works for me.

In my theme directory. Display.template.php

Find

             $buttonArray[] = '<li class="print"><a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=printpage;topic=' . $context['current_topic'] . '.0" target="_blank">' . $txt[465] . '</a></li>';

Replace with

             $buttonArray[] = '<li class="print"><a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=printpage;topic=' . $context['current_topic'] . '.0;images" target="_blank">' . $txt[465] . '</a></li>';

So simple.
