Printable Price list :: support thread

[paulm]

@cookiesa: de top header is for screen view only by design, that is why the logo is not printed. There is an admin switch for each profile to turn the page headers on and off (screen and print), by default the page headers are off.

gsdcypher: on what paper size are you trying to print? (if I try to print your list in FF I see no blank pages...). And there is an on/off switch for images for each profile in the admin (default is off).

Hi paulm,

Normal size paper 8 1/2 x 11 portrait. When you first open the pricelist it looks great. No blank pages. in between. BUT... when you do a print preview in FF, you will see the blank pages.

Is there a way to turn the pictures back on???

Thanks!

Paul, thank you. I removed v. 1.2 and installed the latest version - works, print great (IE 7) - no problems.

@all4coffee: thanks for letting me now the latest version works :-)

Normal size paper 8 1/2 x 11 portrait.

I don't think 8 1/2 x 11 is normal size.

The default settings of the pricelist and the included stylesheets for printing are designed for
A4 paper size(which is not the same as US letter! or whatever it's called). Info about standarized paper formats (in dutch, but I think the idea is clear, even if you can't read dutch): http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/A4_%28papierformaat%29

Is there a way to turn the pictures back on???

I already answered this in my previous post. Was it unclear???

Ay carumba! So you did. Totally missed that. Sorry.

1) Where is the css stored for the paper size so I can try and change the paper size?

2) Where is the setting to turn on images?

My Printable Price-List has these settings:
Defalult Profile
Show Profile

My Price-List Profiles have these settings:
Title Enable Profile Name Stylesheet Main Cats New Page Main Cats New Table No Wrap Max Columns Max Rows Tax Free Model Manufacturer Weight Stock On Hand Notes (A) Notes (B) Show Inactive Sort By Asc Desc All Categories default Boxes Debug

Did something get dropped during the upgrade?

Thanks

OK re-updated the new mod and the image switch is now in the profile. Sweet.

Now I just need to know where and how to change the settings from A4 to 8 1/2 x 11. If anyone knows, please let me know.

Thanks.

I have been using this mod for some time now - we need to upload the profile to the next updated version

Not sure if it still matters, but the main change would be to edit the stylsheet and change:
Code:
.pagePL, #pageOnePL, .pageOnePL{height: 25.5cm;/* overflow: hidden; */}
To this for example
Code:
.pagePL, #pageOnePL, .pageOnePL{height: 8inch;/* overflow: hidden; */}
Or in cm if inch does not work, I think inch will work just fine, but I never use inches myself... Of course the exact setting depends on your margins etcetera.

Besides that you may want to tweak the width settings a little (in the same stylesheet) and/or what columns to print (admin).

Use Crimson editor to open folder YOUR TEMPLATE and load file profile-a4-portrait.css
I did a little testing - after running a 93 page catalog I found 8inch was not correct, on line 137 I changed it to read

height: 27.9cm;

I did a small test to Adobe and then printed a few pages and it appears to look formated.

Now does anyone know what to modify to remove the pricing and shorten descriptions to say 128 characters? I want to make a catalog with pictures, breif descriptions and no prices.
