Description

On Tiki24 we have an admin "Print Setting" page : tiki-admin.php?page=print

If I want the generate a PDF from the action menu (first preferences on the admin page) this is what I see:

Wiki print, the main feature to enable everything print, is somewhere at the bottom ? and PDF generation is at the top, preferences that rely on it are place above it... frankly it really look bad for Tiki to release such mess for users. We should use tab and reorder things.

Another example, the preference "Show Page title" is placed under "PDF settings" however it is applied to both (common preference)

Solution

We have a feature "Print Wiki" we have per output sections (print, PDF) and we have common preferences (applicable for all)

The main feature activation checkbox for "Print Wiki" should be at the top
We should use tabs under print settings:

  1. General preferences
  2. Print preferences
  3. PDF preferences
  4. Other preferences (eventually)


Then inside each tab, please check there is some logic.
It look almost good so keep together grouped the "TOC" preferences, Page title display should be above it, etc.
