Printable Price list :: support thread

I hope I haven't missed so sorry if it has been covered, it but can't see an answer to the following;

My Logo shows (customised template) in the window but not in print preview and doesn't print. (IE7 on 3 different computers all the same issue)

Any idea how I turn printing of my own logo "on" ???

Thanks in advance

I installed the Printable Price List v. 1.2 (running ZenCart 1.3.7)

Am I missing something? but I don't see any Admin settings (I checked all 3 profiles) to make the Price List look just as it does in a sample shot provided w/ the module ( see file : screenshot.png) wher there are no descriptions, no pictures of products)

Please help.

@all4coffee: version 1.2? That's a very old version. Try price-list_v1.4.1, which is now available at the downloads section or you can find it a couple of posts up in this thread.

@cookiesa:

My Logo shows (customised template) in the window but not in print preview and doesn't print.It might be in the screen only section of the output (the top header of the page is not printed by design), or it's a background (in which case you can make it print by changing your browser print setting). An url to the the page makes answering questions like this a lot easier...

@gsdcypher:

Problem 1: When trying to print the "printable" price list using IE7, it cuts off the bottom of the last boxes in the columns...

Problem 2: When trying to print the "printable" price list using FF, it inserts a blank page after each pageI think you are using the A4 css on another paper size. Difficult to say without url.

price-list_v1.4.1 is now available at the downloads section:
http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&products_id=276

Note that:

• There is no print button on the pricelist. You just type in the url (for example: http://www.yourdomain.nl/zen-cart/index.php?main_page=pricelist, or add a link somewhere if you like) and in your browser menu click "File :: Print".

• The included CSS is for A4 paper size printing only and default browser/printer settings. For other paper sizes, and depending on your browser/printer settings, you may need to tweak the CSS and/or settings on how much data to print.

• Don't expect much support from me. I share the updates I write (whenever I think it's a real improvement), but my time to support it is very limited.

OOOOOps sorry it is www.platypusscreenprinting.com.au/store

Thanks, I apprecaite your efforts!

Hi PaulM,

I updated to the latest version of the printable pricelist.

What happened to the pictures? Can I turn them back on???

Here is a link to my printable pricelist:
http://www.allk-9.com/index.php?main_page=pricelist

If you open it in Fire Fox and do a print preview, it inserts a blank page between each page...

The bottom of the boxes now show in IE7 with profile 1. :smile: But can I turn the pictures back on?

Thanks!

@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 :-)

gsdcypher:

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

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. :smile:

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.

hey. I have my pricelist looking just the way i want it. The only thing is can I somehow get it to print all on one page and not sepearate each category.

http://www.ipodweapons.com/index.php?main_page=pricelist&profile=1

I can change the config and set "Main Cats New Page" to false, but this alters the style of the page in a way.

thx

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).

Thanks seanscully. Yep it still matters. :-) Where is that located/which file is that code in?

Thanks

@PaulM : I was away from the thread, and I was surprised to see you put the add to cart button mod. Thank you :-)

For the ones having the images gone, check your CSS, the img tag is perhaps visiblity:hidden.

I forgot

Another thing is that I was thinking of perfecting the "POS for poors" mod or perhaps I'll call it "Really Simple POS" :
now we can use the category menu not to have the complete product list shown, that's nice but each time you change category it reloads the whole page, so I was thinking of three things.

The first one must be very easy, it's to make the image sensible so that we can click on it to add to cart.

The second is no more complicated, it's to change the popup category menu to a clickable table of images.

But the third is a bit more difficult because I'm not a coder, but I'm quite sure it's not a big deal for someone who knows how to write some AJAX code. You already understood what I was about : it's to make the Really Simple POS an AJAX thing so that going from one category to another would be very fast and easy.

If someone can take a look at that it would be great.

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.
