Printer Friendly Button ?

[Alex123]

Hi everyone,

I would like to add a “Printer Friendly” button on the Product’s info page.
Does anybody know, what is the best way to go about it?

Thank you.

Should I just look for a java script and add it to the product_info.php ? or is it more complicated than that ?

Thanks

You can edit print_stylesheet.css to hide unwanted elements and adjust some facets of the display when printing a page.

By using #productInfoBody .yourProductInfoClass {}, print style alterations can be limited to the product info page.

Thank you gjh42 for the info,

Maybe I am missing something, but I still don't understand how to create a "Printer Friendly" link on the product page.

Thanks.

You don't need to. You just adjust the print_stylesheet.css file until the page prints out how you want.

Regards,
Christian.

Yes thats that is what I mean Steven.. Just a simple button where soemone can click in order to print the page. In some cases ( but I guess this would need more customization ) the page that is going to be printed pops-up so you know what you are going to be printing.

Is this button easy to impement ?

Thanks

Here is an example: http://www.arlisa-bijoux.com/marcasi...rfly-p-61.html of what I mean.

Look at the "Printer Friendly Page" link
Thanks

The print_stylesheet when properly filled out makes a printer-friendly page output without a separate button or javascript code required. It does not affect the screen view.

Alex123, here's a link to how I added the button, although Glenn's approach sounds much better to me.
