printFunction 3 Years, 10 Months ago

Hey Olle,

It's me again. I have another question which has nothing to do with one of your components.

I thought to bring this question to you because I can't find an answer to this problem on any other Mambo-forum.

I have a problem with the printFunction in Mambo. When i click the print-icon a new window opens with only the content of the page. I have to click again on the print-icon on this page to open my print-dialog. What I would like is that the print-dialog opens automaticly. I tried to find the parameters of the printFunction everywhere, but i can't find it.

Can you help me out here?

You need to modify Mambo core files to accomplish this. Here's how to do it.

Step 1
Open up the file index.php and find this line (at line 110 in Mambo 4.5.1a):

Code:


	&lt;body class=&quot;contentpane&quot;&gt;

REPLACE it with this:

Code:


	&lt;body class=&quot;contentpane&quot; &lt;?php 
if ( mosGetParam( $_REQUEST, 'print', '' ) ) { 
print 'onload=&quot;javascript:window.print();&quot;'; 
} ?&gt;&gt;

Step 2 Open the file components/com_content/content.html.php and find this line, at line 455 in Mambo 4.5.1a:

Code:


$print_link = $mosConfig_live_site
. '/index2.php?option=com_content&amp;amp;task=view&amp;amp;id='
. $row-&gt;id .'&amp;amp;Itemid='. $Itemid 
.'&amp;amp;pop=1&amp;amp;page='. @$page;

REPLACE it with this:

Code:


$print_link = $mosConfig_live_site
. '/index2.php?option=com_content&amp;amp;task=view&amp;amp;id='
. $row-&gt;id .'&amp;amp;Itemid='. $Itemid 
.'&amp;amp;pop=1&amp;amp;print=1&amp;amp;page='. @$page;

The only change is that "&amp;print=1" is added to the link. Both of these are just one line, I've split them up into several lines to make them easier to read here on the forum. Save and upload both files, and the print popup should now automatically start the print dialog.<br><br>Post edited by: admin, at: 2005/02/24 15:43
