Printable Price list :: support thread

[seanscully]

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.

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.

Hi Seanscully,

Our line numbers don't match up, probably because of spaces.... But I changed this line:

 
.pagePL, #pageOnePL, .pageOnePL
{
height: 27.9cm;
 
/* overflow: hidden; */
 
}

Is that correct???

When print my pricelist via IE7 (print preview), the boxes still don't use the entire page (i.e. don't go all the way to the bottom of the page).

There is about 2 1/2 inches of page left below the bottom of the boxes...

.pagePL, #pageOnePL, .pageOnePL
{
height: 27.9cm;
 
/* overflow: hidden; */
 
}

In general I can say that :

- If this value is to high for you paper size (+ printer settings), the pages will never fit the paper (even if there is not enough content on the page to fill the paper). In practice the printer will start a new page for you because it detects that the (invisible) output does not fit, and ususally this leads to printing an extra empty page after each normal page.

- If it's to low, a new page will always be started by the printer to soon, even before the page is full. So you will waist some paper.

The idea is that you set it to a value as high as possible, but that the printer just does not start printing the extra empty pages.

- If the above value is correct you can still have pages that don't fit the paper size (to small and waisting some paper, or to large and ...). To correct that you can do several things (like adjusting other css values like margins padding and font sizes for example), but usually you should just adjust "Max Rows" then (pricelist admin settings).

(when printing images and/or description you might also want to adjust the "Extra lines" pricelist admin value)

I have three requests for a future version:

1. the ability to show the quantity discount pricing breakdown
2. the ability to show attribute pictures
3. the ability to show a list of available attributes per product (especially when some attributes change the base price)

Other than that, it rox!

Cheers. T.

Hum....

I don't what I missed or what I did wrong but my home page title is saying "Printable pricelist...".

PaulM have you got an idea ?

Thanks

I agree that it would be great if those features would be added the the pricelist, but I am afraid I am not able to do it, so hopefully someone else will...

Some older versions had the pricelist.php language file in the extra_definitions folder. It should be (re)moved one level up to the "english\" (or whatever other language) directory. When it's in extra_definitions\ it overwrites the NAVBAR_TITLE definition on every page of your shop.

That was it !
