What browser? I get a 5-page printout using FireFox.

I get a 3-pages printout with all browsers

OK, I went back and checked IE-11 (4 pages), FireFox (4 pages) and Chrome (not working, 3 pages, all run together). Chrome's always been a bug-a-boo regarding the CSS-based print controls; I'll investigate further.

Thanks for checking and investigating. I've tried with another PC and the pages break all right with Safari, Firefox and Explorer. They do not break with Opera and Chrome.

I just found an article that indicates that Chrome (I'm guessing Opera as well) doesn't honor the page-break CSS controls if the control is present on a table element (like a <tr> which is what's currently being used by PPL). Knowing the cause is half-way to the solution!

Thanks for having looked into this! I also read the issue being discussed on a few stackoverflow articles. This is not a biggie though. So I'll just leave it as is for now.

Thanks again!

One little request for future releases:

Is it possible to expand the Categories drop-down menu in a way that individual subcats can be selected for printing?

As an example, on one of my sites I have 10 or 15 subcats which are all under the category Professional Products such as:

Professional Products
-- Blackmores
-- China Med
-- Zen Therapeutics

etc

It would be good if I could select only say the subcat China Med and print these products.

As it stands, I have to select Professional Products , hit the print button, scroll through to find the page number pertaining to China Med and print that page (or 2 if it extends over 2 pages).

Thanks / Frank

Thank you!

I'd love to give this plugin a try. It would be great for our storefront as well. Does it support attributes yet? That's the only thing stopping me

The plugin's current "support" of attributes consists of recognizing that products have attributes and displaying a "More Info..." instead of a buy-now/add-to-cart button.

What functionality do you expect when you ask "Does it support attributes yet?"?

I'm just wondering if it displays the prices of different things.

On our site we have extracts that come in 1 oz 2 oz 4 oz 8 oz 16 oz 32 oz 1/2 gal 1 gal. If I were to use this plugin would it show the prices for each or just show a "more info"?

The plugin will show the "starting at" price and a "more info" link.

I've reviewed this plugin and, as it has no core- or template-overwrites, it's compatible with Zen Cart 1.5.5.

this module seem good but when you ask for just no tax to be in the listing then the prices come up as zero!!! http://www.saving-light-bulbs.co.uk/index.php?main_page=pricelist&profile=3
If you ask for net and with tax then you get both columns with the net figure!!!
Any idea on how to fix?

I've recorded this as an issue on the plugin's GitHub repository (https://github.com/lat9/printable_price_list/issues/10).

The issue is that the Price (ex) appears to be tied to the Price (inc), so that if the latter is not displayed as part of the pricelist the former is not calculated.

I've submitted v2.0.2 to the Plugins (https://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=173) for review to correct the issue reported by @ptowers49.

Besides updating the plugin's version number, the pertinent change to correct the problem requires an edit of /includes/modules/pages/pricelist/header_php.php (around line 52), adding the bit in red:

    $profile_settings = array (
      array ('PL_GROUP_NAME', 'group_name', 'char'),
      array ('PL_PROFILE_NAME', 'profile_name', 'char'),
      array ('PL_USE_MASTER_CATS_ONLY', 'master_cats_only', 'bool'),
      array ('PL_SHOW_BOXES', 'show_boxes', 'bool'),
      array ('PL_CATEGORY_TREE_MAIN_CATS_ONLY', 'main_cats_only', 'bool'),
      array ('PL_MAINCATS_NEW_PAGE', 'maincats_new_page', 'bool'),
      array ('PL_NOWRAP', 'nowrap', 'bool'),
      array ('PL_SHOW_MODEL', 'show_model', 'bool-col', 'p.products_model'),
      array ('PL_SHOW_MANUFACTURER', 'show_manufacturer', 'bool-col', 'p.manufacturers_id'),
      array ('PL_SHOW_WEIGHT', 'show_weight', 'bool-col', 'p.products_weight'),
      array ('PL_SHOW_SOH', 'show_stock', 'bool-col', 'p.products_quantity'),
      array ('PL_SHOW_NOTES_A', 'show_notes_a', 'bool-col'),
      array ('PL_SHOW_NOTES_B', 'show_notes_b', 'bool-col'),
      array ('PL_SHOW_PRICE', 'show_price', 'bool-col', 'p.products_price'),
      array ('PL_SHOW_TAX_FREE', 'show_taxfree', 'bool-col'[B], 'p.products_price'[/B]),
      array ('PL_SHOW_SPECIAL_PRICE', 'show_special_price', 'bool'),
      array ('PL_SHOW_SPECIAL_DATE', 'show_special_date', 'bool'),
      array ('PL_SHOW_ADDTOCART_BUTTON', 'show_cart_button', 'bool-col'),
      array ('PL_ADDTOCART_TARGET', 'add_cart_target', 'char'),
      array ('PL_SHOW_IMAGE', 'show_image', 'bool', 'p.products_image'),
      array ('PL_IMAGE_PRODUCT_HEIGHT', 'image_height', 'int'),
      array ('PL_IMAGE_PRODUCT_WIDTH', 'image_width', 'int'),
      array ('PL_SHOW_DESCRIPTION', 'show_description', 'bool'),
      array ('PL_TRUNCATE_DESCRIPTION', 'truncate_desc', 'int'),
      array ('PL_SHOW_INACTIVE', 'show_inactive', 'bool'),
      array ('PL_SORT_PRODUCTS_BY', 'sort_by', 'char'),
      array ('PL_SORT_ASC_DESC', 'sort_dir', 'char'),
      array ('PL_DEBUG', 'debug', 'bool'),
      array ('PL_HEADER_LOGO', 'show_logo', 'bool'),
      array ('PL_SHOW_PRICELIST_PAGE_HEADERS', 'show_headers', 'bool'),
      array ('PL_SHOW_PRICELIST_PAGE_FOOTERS', 'show_footers', 'bool'),

    
    );

The plugin's zip-file is also available from its github repository (https://github.com/lat9/printable_price_list/releases/tag/v2.0.2).

v2.0.2 is now available for download from the Zen Cart Plugins.
