Printable Price list :: support thread

[LindysGoodies]

Hey guys, great MOD and the options for expansion on it are remarkable.

My question for the guru's above is this: is it possible to add an extra field that has the ZenCart ID for the item (Not the Model No, you enter that manually...i mean the number ZenCart allocates) ???

Also, i couldn't see anywhere a fix for the 'Log in to see prices Issue'....Has anyone found a fix for this?

Thnx

I forgot to mentiion that while I do have my printer settings set to "shrink to fit" and everything fits nicely onto letter sized pages for me, I do get 1 blank page after every printed page. Strangely....the page numbers are still correct on the printed pages though.

Has a fix been discovered to print on letter sized paper?

It sounds as though you may have the checkbox for start each category on new page, and maybe some additional space has been added to the bottom of each category causing it to fall onto a new page.

check the code to see if any additional <br>'s or <p>'s are there that aren't neccessary.....

also check that in your printer settings you dont have a tickbox called 'seperator page' ticked. That will also cause this problem.

@gsdcypher:Don't know if it is something to do with IE7 or not.....but my fix was to change the 'Printable Page Height' to 26.5cm

For US letter size you should actually decrease this value (from the default 25.5cm). I think approximately 9inch (or 23.5cm) should be the value (? 11inch minus 2x1 inch margin).

The 'Printable Page Height' setting forces the page break. And if its value is slightly higher than the height available for printing this page break will make your printer output a second (ususally blank) page following every page.

I am not sure about how "Shrink to fit" influences this. It may sometimes compensate for a wrong setting of course.

Just wondering if you had any ideas about this because it would help out ALOT! (in my case anyway hehe)

is it possible to add an extra field that has the ZenCart ID

The products_id? That's easy.

I attached a modified version of:
includes\modules\pages\pricelist\header_php.php to this post. I think it's possible to copy over an existing 1.5 version (it's actually a file from a 1.5.1 beta version). THe products id should be listed after the file is copied over the original pricelist header_php.php file.

At the the top of the file you can find these two lines:

define('PL_SHOW_PRODUCTS_ID_1', 'true');
define('TABLE_HEADING_PRODUCTS_ID', 'id'); 

Of course these definitions should actually be moved to the database settings and language file.

Make sure you have a backup of your version of the file at hand, so you can quickly restore it if needed!



No time to look at the 'Log in to see prices Issue' now though. I guess it would not be very difficult.

I have been using this program quite successfully on my site www.bobkatgifts.net - I use the default of http://www.bobkatgifts.net/index.php...page=pricelist - recently I added Magic SEO URL to my site and now my Printable Price list gives the user a Error 500 - Internal Server error. Does anyone have any ideas or a suggestion on how to fix this. I am using version 1.5. Do I need to re-install anything? Thanks for your help.

I think that's not related to the price list. Probably better ask about this in the Magic SEO contribution thread.

Thanks Paul, still a little confused though because when i opened your file i couldn't find those two lines of code anywhere?

I uploaded the wrong file. Attached the right one to this post, I think.....
