Here we focus on using a global print method for any Tiki object/page, instead of having tiki-print.php, tiki-print_article.php, tiki-print_blog_post.php

It is similar to tell a friend why is replacing individual files like send_blog_post.php

This doesn't cover improving multi-print or structure print.

• This is a real pity, since we are not helping ourselves to produce an updated .odt or .pdf handbook out of the current doc.tw.o/Documentation. (Xavi 🙁 )
  • Marc's reply: 1- Single page print is much simpler, yet still not good enough. Walk first, run later. 2- This is not the same problem we are addressing 3- Someone is sponsoring single page print improvement. I look forward to a sponsor for multipage
  • Xavi's follow up: Ok, I understand, Marc, thanks for the info. I'm also looking for a sponsor for the broken doc.tw.o multi print feature, even if no enhancements are done; I hope I'll find somebody that can make it at least work as before: bug2840)

But it does include taking a look at tiki-slideshow.php and tiki-slideshow2.php for low-hanging fruit.

To do

• Make a print.css

Questions

• Should this also cover the Fullscreen feature?

Wishlist

• Use javascript:window.print() to avoid current double step (click print icon, and then CTRL-P)
• A wiki syntax to force a page break
• Alternate content by media
• print css perhaps should have a more descriptive name?
  • ex.: thenews-print.css
• Print mode should open up all hidden sections (ideally, you can close some of them back to save paper)
• Print mode should allow user to select which version (from all plugin versions) should be shown.
• Need a print permission one tiki_p_print for all features seems OK. So we could have feature check and permission check to show link to CSS?
• Find a way for alternate content to be sent to the print.css
  • {noprint} wiki syntax so people can have content that is just for the screen
  • Could Tiki detect print mode and put URLs as footnotes?
• Inline attachments show "No such attachment on this page" on print view.
• tiki-print_pages.php should allow to choose tikiversion for all pages, if PluginVersion is used
• Along with print.css, have a handheld.css
• When printing, links should show the actual URL
  • Links and URLs should be displayed in the Print version. For example:
    • ((foo)) should display as foo (http://sitename/foo)
    • ((foo|bar)) should display as bar(http://sitename/foo)
    • [foo|bar] should display as bar (http://foo)

Multiprint of structures or page

Wishes from devel list:

• Ability to specify language (for multilingual structures)
• Ability to specify VERSION (when VERSION plugin is used within the structure)
• The problem of too many pages taking too long probably there needs to be a way to create multiple pdf files per chapter or something like that
