How to trigger the use of a printpagelayout.tpl ?

Thursday 27 February 2003 3:38:46 am

I still can't imagine how to make ezp3 fetch a pagelayout other than default.

Login pagelayout is automatically fetched when the request uri points to /user/login

Not so with printpage-layout.

Can somebody comment on this ? Thanks for your efforts.

Thanks a lot, Paul. Your explanation covers my task entirely. Besides, I am going to tackle the redirection issue with printed pages by just skipping redirection from print view to normal view.
Users triggering printable output will simply receive the printable markup in a new browser window. They may print it or close it. Wihin the printable view, one may use ezurl-operators safely to support e.g. multipage print-views. in footer navigation or something.

Kind regards

Hi,

I think <a href={concat("layout/set/print/",$site.uri.tail)|ezurl}>printable version</a> is the correct way to call a printable page. $site.uri.tail gives you the "content/view/44" bit.

I also noticed this code in the link.tpl standard template:

<link rel="Alternate" href={concat("layout/set/print/",$site.uri.tail)|ezurl} media="print" title="{'Printable version'|i18n('design/standard/layout')}" />

In IE this makes the print preview use the print_pagelayout file rather than the standard pagelayout.

Hope this helps
