Printer Friendly Button ?

Hi everyone,

I would like to add a “Printer Friendly” button on the Product’s info page.
Does anybody know, what is the best way to go about it?

Thank you.

Should I just look for a java script and add it to the product_info.php ? or is it more complicated than that ?

Thanks

You can edit print_stylesheet.css to hide unwanted elements and adjust some facets of the display when printing a page.

By using #productInfoBody .yourProductInfoClass {}, print style alterations can be limited to the product info page.

Thank you gjh42 for the info,

Maybe I am missing something, but I still don't understand how to create a "Printer Friendly" link on the product page.

Thanks.

You don't need to. You just adjust the print_stylesheet.css file until the page prints out how you want.

Christian.

Do you mean like on this page?

Yes thats that is what I mean Steven.. Just a simple button where soemone can click in order to print the page. In some cases ( but I guess this would need more customization ) the page that is going to be printed pops-up so you know what you are going to be printing.

Is this button easy to impement ?

Thanks

Here is an example: http://www.arlisa-bijoux.com/marcasite-butterfly-p-61.html of what I mean.

Look at the "Printer Friendly Page" link
Thanks

The print_stylesheet when properly filled out makes a printer-friendly page output without a separate button or javascript code required. It does not affect the screen view.

Alex123, here's a link to how I added the button, although Glenn's approach sounds much better to me.

Christian and Glenn are correct. Zen Cart added the print stylesheet support for this very reason. If the customer clicks the regular print button in their browser, it'll print using the print stylesheet to override portions of the main stylesheet, allowing you to customize the printed content without having to mess with javascript or any addons.

Thank you ALL very much, for your suggestions.

I will work more with the print_stylesheet.css, it does seem to have a lot of possibilities.
