hello cyrano

maybe by editing the print.css!?

hmm, i don't know, but i don't think so, because i cannot add a link into css or?

so to load a image and a text into this print-layout-css-page....

hmm?

hello

maybe as backgroundimage!? in the bodytag!?

this would be an idea, with layers...
and text?

Or maybe set the style to hide the logo for all media except for printing.

Look into include/inc_front/content.func.inc.php.

Search for the string "//if print layout should be showed" (around line 258).

You will find something like this:

Code: Select all

//if print layout should be showed
	$content["all"]	= $block["maintext"]; //$content["main"]
	$block["css"]	= "print_layout.css"; //sets css to standard printing layout

This means that only what is in the block "maintext" will be shown on the printout. You could try to change it to

Code: Select all

	//if print layout should be showed
	$prepend = "";
	$postpend = "";
	$content["all"]	= $prepend.$block["maintext"].$postpend; //$content["main"]
	$block["css"]	= "print_layout.css"; //sets css to standard printing layout

I haven't tested it, but this should be it. (Don't forget to fill the variables $prepend and $postpend with the output you want to have there).

PS: There could be an additional area in the admin area of phpwcms to be able to enter this information in the backend frontend of phpwcms.

Hope that helped and many greetings

hach was wäre das web ohne Jérôme

Merci bien, avec texte se marche bien, mais ou je fais ca avec une image?

And how to have influence with the positioning?
can I set a table within the " "?

Merci bien.

You can set any HTML you want between the "", that includes images, CSS information and other things.

Example:

Code: Select all

<div align="center"><img src="/path/to/logo.png" alt="Logo" /></div>

hmm, no i get errors

Code: Select all

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /www/htdocs/xcxc/include/inc_front/content.func.inc.php on line 259

and made - sure :- ) - something wrong:

Code: Select all

	//if print layout should be showed
	$prepend = "<div align="left"><img src="/picture/logo.jpg" alt="Logo" /></div>"; 
   $postpend = "copyright 2000-2004 hansi müller"; 
   $content["all"]   = $prepend.$block["maintext"].$postpend; //$content["main"] 
   $block["css"]   = "print_layout.css"; //sets css to standard printing layout

Update: I remembered some lines of code as we made the cd-rom, and uses now within the outer "" the '', then it works fine.

Code: Select all

	//if print layout should be showed
	$prepend = "<div align='left'><img src='/picture/logo.jpg' alt='Logo' /></div>"; 
   $postpend = "copyright 2000-2004 hansi müller"; 
   $content["all"]   = $prepend.$block["maintext"].$postpend; //$content["main"] 
   $block["css"]   = "print_layout.css"; //sets css to standard printing layout

Thanks Jérôme

You can also escape the double quotation marks:

Code: Select all

$prepend = "<div align=\"left\"><img src=\"/picture/logo.jpg\" alt=\"Logo\" /></div>";

This produces nicer source-code.

On the other hand, you can also wrap everything in single quotation marks:

Code: Select all

$prepend = '<div align="left"><img src="/picture/logo.jpg" alt="Logo" /></div>';

But then, you can't use php variables between the single quotation marks. You would then have to interrupt the string, insert your variable and continue the string.

But the performance-question is another issue

Where do i fill in the variables, not in the main text i think because i don't want the logo to apear on the website, only on the printpage. Can't figger it out........

hi,

read above the text from jérôme....

include/inc_front/content.func.inc.php.

offcourse, but then i have some error. I did as acording. put my code in the mentioned file like this:

Code: Select all

 //if print layout should be showed
        $prepend = "<div align=\"center\"><table width=\"550\"><tr><td> <img src=\"/picture/logo.jpg\" alt=\"N & S Groep\" /></tr></td></table> </div>";
        $postpend = " ";
        $content["all"] = $block["maintext"]; //$content["main"]
        $block["css"]   = "print_layout.css"; //sets css to standard printing layout

however the logo doesn't show up, neether do i see the code in the sourcecode of the file !

any ideas of what i missing ?

yes you missed the postpend and prepend:

compare it with above written by jérôme again please:

Code: Select all

This means that only what is in the block "maintext" will be shown on the printout. You could try to change it to

   //if print layout should be showed
   $prepend = "";
   $postpend = "";
[color=red]   $content["all"]   = $prepend.$block["maintext"].$postpend; //$content["main"][/color]
   $block["css"]   = "print_layout.css"; //sets css to standard printing layout
