Printable Price list :: support thread

[manada]

Hello Paul,

First of all thank you for a great mod. I have also a question: is there any way to show prices and quantity breaks set in quantity price breaks module?

Hi Manada,

quite some custom coding would be needed to show the quantitiy prices breaks correctly, I think. And I am currently working on quick updates and other things (a.o. trying to make some money ;-) ), no idea if and when I will work on the price list again.

Others a are free to use and update the price list code too of course. It's GPL!

Has anyone tried this version (that shows the pictures) with IH2 installed??? I got an error after installation:

Ok, problem with IH has gone away, not sure what it was, besides PFM. Anyways, anyone have any luck getting the items to print out correctly with images??? Or at least on a 8x11 sheet?

Just wanted to note that he included stylesheets are made for A4 (210x297mm). Never tried it, but it should not be very difficult to convert to US-letter format.

Not sure what you mean by "getting the items to print out correctly with images". I don't really use the price list anymore these days, but I tested it a couple of times and it worked fine here. It still got the pricelist look though, which is not very nice for a printed catalogue of course...

Not really sure how to explain it. But when the price list comes up on screen it seems to look ok. I changed some of the settings in the stylesheet, from a prev. thread, to fit a 8x11 letter paper. When I goto print, it doesn't look like anything off the screen. It scrunches up the boxes to the top of the page.

Anyways, I'll play with it some more, might be something with the printer.

We desire the print out, as we had something similar from our old website we would us as in store quick reference....old habits die hard...

Thanks for the work though, module works good, I'm sure it's something on our end...

You might be able to manipulate the mod output with CSS to format into a layout you require for your printer.

In Zen Cart distribution see /docs/readme_css_system.html

Specifically the reference to:
print*.css // printer-friendly global usage site-wide changes for printing-only

The mod comes with three CSS profiles, namely:

profile-a4-landscape.css
profile-a4-portrait.css
- and -
profile-3.css
This third one is for your customization.
(or you edit the other two as you wish).

If you use Firefox web browser, install the Web Develpper add-on to play around with the CSS to format the page as you like for your printer. Then save the CSS.

Hi all, first off this is a great mod and ive got it just how i want it so thank you.

Just the 1 problem when you go to print it, it will print a page then a blank page and then another page with products on and it does this until it is all printed.

Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi Troy,

your question is probably related to the question above about the 8x11 letter format. We use another paper format called A4 and that is the reason it's by default configured to fit A4.

There is at least one setting in the stylesheet (in cm) that you should adjust for US letter format (in inch if you like, by default it is 25.5cm which is the A4 length minus standard top and bottom margins). In addition you might have to dedrease the number of lines/rows printed on a page somewhat (pricelist admin setting).

I gues there must be lots of users that found out usable settings for the U.S. letter format, hopefully someone will post it here.
