DESCRIPTION ----------- This module allows you to generate the following printer-friendly versions of any node: * Web page printer-friendly version (at www.example.com/print/nid) * PDF version (at www.example.com/printpdf/nid) * Send by-email (at www.example.com/printmail/nid) where nid is the node id of content to render. A link is inserted in the each node (configurable in the content type settings), that opens a version of the page with no sidebars, search boxes, navigation pages, etc. CONFIGURATION ------------- - There are several settings that can be configured in the following places: Administer > Site building > Modules (admin/build/modules) Enable or disable the module. (default: disabled) Administer > User management > Permissions (admin/user/permissions) Under print module: access print: Enable access to the PF page and display of the PF link in other pages. (default: disabled) administer print: Enable access to the module settings page. (default: disabled) Administer > Content management > Content types (admin/content/types) For each content type it is possible to enable or disable the PF link via the "Show printer-friendly version link" checkbox. (default: enabled) It is also possible to enable or disable the PF link in individual comments via the "Show printer-friendly version link in individual comments" checkbox. (default: disabled) Administer > Site configuration > Printer-friendly (admin/settings/print) This is where all the module-specific configuration options can be set. - To modify the template of printer friendly pages, simply edit the print.tpl.php or the css/print.css files. - It is possible to set per-content-type and/or theme-specific templates which are searched for in the following order: 1. print_[format].node-[type].tpl.php in the theme directory 2. print_[format].node-[type].tpl.php in the module directory 3. print_[format].tpl.php in the theme directory 4. print_[format].tpl.php in the module directory 5. print.node-[type].tpl.php in the theme directory 6. print.node-[type].tpl.php in the module directory 7. print.tpl.php in the theme directory 8. print.tpl.php in the module directory (supplied by the module) API --- print_insert_link(), print_mail_insert_link(), print_pdf_insert_link() The *_insert_link functions are available to content developers that prefer to place the printer-friendly link in a custom location. It is advisable to disable the regular Printer-friendly link so that it is not shown in both locations. Calling the function like this: print_insert_link() will return the HTML for a link pointing to a Printer-friendly version of the current page. It is also possible to specify the link to the page yourself: print_insert_link("print/42") will return the HTML pointing to the printer-friendly version of node 42. THEMEABLE FUNCTIONS ------------------- The following themeable functions are defined: * theme_print_format_link() * theme_print_mail_format_link() * theme_print_pdf_format_link() Returns an array of formatted attributes for the Printer-friendly link. * print_pdf_dompdf_footer($html) Format the dompdf footer contents * print_pdf_tcpdf_header($pdf, $html, $font) Format the TCPDF header * print_pdf_tcpdf_page($pdf) Format the TCPDF page settings (margins, etc) * print_pdf_tcpdf_content($pdf, $html, $font) Format the TCPDF page content * print_pdf_tcpdf_footer($pdf, $html, $font) Format the TCPDF footer contents * print_pdf_tcpdf_footer2($pdf) Format the TCPDF footer layout MORE INFORMATION ---------------- For more information, consult the modules' documentation at http://drupal.org/node/190171.
